World Card Making Day | 2015

I had a great 3 days with Audrey Yeager and her My Scraps and More Retreat in Syracuse, NY this past weekend. Saturday was also World Card Making Day, so of course I managed to fit in a few cards along with the layouts I made over the course of the long weekend. 

I wanted to share them quickly while we are all in the mood to celebrate the art of making cards.

Often I like to make simple cards on white and leave off the sentiments until I mail the card, that way I can personalize the card. But even without the sentiments, these cards are fun to see. 

I wanted to note that I used the WRMK Fuse Tool and a 3x4 Project Life sleeve to make the shaker part of my card.

Happy World Card Making Day (Weekend)!

Here are links to some of the products I used in case you were looking for them: Tim Holtz Bird Crazy Dies and Stamps,  Tim Holtz Crazy Things Stamps, Tim Holtz Freshly Brewed. All of my coloring was done with Copics.

Happy World Card Making Day! Today Bella Blvd is sharing cards hour-by-hour for inspiration as so many of us are sitting down to make cards today.

Here are two cards I made to mark the occasion. 

I love the monotone colors for this card for Halloween and using conversation bubbles is an easy way to show a two-part sentiment without putting the second part inside the card.

Supplies: Bella Blvd Itty Bitty by Unity (Shake Your Bootie stamps) Halloween Magic: (Pattern Paper: Boo Buddies, Borders Halloween Magic)

The snow globe scene is just too cute not to use on a Christmas card. Layered with other fun pieces from the Christmas Cheer collection, this card is sure to send the holiday spirit.

Supplies: Christmas Cheer: (Pattern paper: Daily Details Christmas Cheer), Chipboard Icons, Paper Pieces Die Cuts

Check the Bella Blvd blog throughout the day as more inspiration pops up each hour.

It is World Card Making Day! This could be a national holiday for someone like me. I would love to be able to sit at home today with an excuse to lock myself in my craft room and make card after card after card. 

In lieu of locking myself in my room, I have been busy working in advance on cards that will inspire you to create today and this weekend in honor of the WCMD. 

This first card I made is for Pink Paislee and it is from the City Sidewalks collection. I love this holiday collection. It has all of the classic patterns, colors and themes of a good 'ol fashioned Christmas. 

Supplies: City Sidewalks (8x8 Paper Pack, Ephemera pack) Artisan: (8x8 Paper Pack, Artisan Squares)

**************

The next two cards are for Bella Blvd. I love wedding cards, and the Love and Marriage collection as well as the Engaged at Last collection are perfect!

This first card is pretty traditional with the bride and groom and uses neutral tone with the gray, black and teal. I cut the cute couple using my Cameo, in case you were wondering where that piece came from.

The second card is a little more fun and uses a less traditional theme. The little flag is just too cute poking out of the top of the borders and stickers. 

Thanks for stopping to see my WCMD cards. So… who is going to make cards today? Link up your blog in my comments section and I'll stop by and see what you made.

World Card Making Day 2012

Hello and Happy World Card Making Day! I love this day — each year scrapbookers and card makers gather together to create handmade cards on a single day in October. I am happily listed on the Paper Crafts Magazine's linky. Stop by there and follow the hop for inspiration.

These are the two cards I made with the Aspen Grove kit from Cocoa Daisy. This first card focuses really well on the custom leaf stamp. I used a green paint dabber to apply the stamp in order to get that watercolor look.

This next card shows off all of the amazing fall colors and Simple Stories papers in the Aspen Grove kit. Even though I did use the tab stamp up in the top corner, it also shows what great cards you can make with just paper. If you don't have any stamps, you can still get in on World Card Making Day!

Join us on the Paper Issues Facebook page!

Hop around the blogosphere today and check out the Paper Issues Facebook page, Paper Crafts, Moxie Fab, Two Peas... there are lots of sites getting in on WCMD. Enjoy! And thanks for stopping by here during your WCMD fun.

happy world card making day!

Hello and welcome to World Card Making Day! I am celebrating right alongside so many other paper crafters.

Like many card makers, I started out using stamps to make cards (back in 1994, gulp!). I soon followed as a scrapbooker, and I'm now involved in both equally.

One thing I have found is that some of my favorite cards are made with scrapbook supplies and not with rubber stamps. So, today I'm encouraging all of you card-making blog hoppers to look through your scrapbooking stash and find that perfect piece you've been hoarding and make a card today. Make a card for your best friend, make a holiday card, or make a card for your honey!


Here are two cards I made just for today. Totally cute, huh?! I thought so! They are Halloween cards using some of the pieces from K&Co.'s new Halloween line. Couldn't resist!!

I also used borders from Making Memories, patterned paper from both Sassafras Lass and DCWV, Making Memories mini letters, and Making Memories pre-made card kits (so convenient!)


If you are doing the Paper Crafts blog hop, here is where you can go to find the rest of the wonderful paper crafters participating in the blog. There are discounts and plenty of inspiration on these blogs, so please go and check them out.

Also, Memories Always - Forever is hosting a WCMD challenge. We're giving away more than $75 worth of prizes, just for sharing with us your card and what inspires you to create. (THAT'S IT! JUST POST ANY CARD AND TELL US WHAT INSPIRES YOU AND YOU CAN WIN!)

And... (I'm not done yet!) I had to get in on the action here. I'm giving away a $10 gift card to Scrap Freak just for visiting today. Leave a comment, let me know you were here, and let me know if you plan on creating anything today. I'd love to visit your WCMD blog, so let me know if you are participating so I can stop by.

Thanks again for visiting. I can't wait to see what is created today!
