Birthday Party Card

   This past Saturday was World Card Making Day, I spent part of the day creating cards. This card I am about to share with you is called a U-fold card. I have never created one before. It was fun to do. You can find the instructions on a blog called Beccy's Place. 

Supplies: cardstock (Cardstock warehouse), pattern paper (Simple Stories), border punch (Fiskars), die cuts (Frantic Stamper), ephemera (Bella Blvd.), sequins (SpiegleMom Scraps)  

 I love the confetti curtain. I am going to be posting more of the cards that I created from Sat. 

Birthday Cards WCMD Recap 2

   Today, I am going to share with you a few of the birthday theme cards that I created on World Card Making Day.  The 3 that I will be sharing with you feature the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. 

The first one is my type of card, a pop-up explosion box card. This one would be great for a kid's birthday. 

Supplies: cardstock (Bazzill Basics), pattern paper (Simple Stories and American Crafts), stickers (Pretty Little Studio), stamp (CAS-ual Fridays Stamps), ink (Tsukineko)

   The nest card would be a great birthday card for her. It is filled with layers.  I based the card on a sketch from Sketch~N~Scrap sketch 

 Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (American Crafts), journaling spot (My Mind's Eye). stickers (American Crafts), embossing folder (Momenta), stamp (CAS-ual Fridays Stamp), ink (Tsukineko), sequins (SpiegelMom Scraps), twine (My Mind's Eye), embossing machine (Sizzix)

   The last card is a super simple card that I was in a hurry to do since my favorite show, Heartland, was about to come on. This was also based on a Sketch~N~Scrap sketch. 

Supplies: cardstock (American Crafts and The Paper Studio), washi tape (American Crafts), embossing folder (Momenta), stamp (CAS-ual Fridays Stamps), ink (Tsukineko)

   Thanks for stopping by and reading this long, picture heavy post. 

WCMD Recap Post 1

   Yesterday was World Card Making Day and by chance, I was able to participate. Instead, of being out of town like I thought my family stayed home. 
I got to spend all evening in my studio creating cards. I only got a total of 8 cards done but that is good. 
   
   Here is a card that I created for the Pinkfresh WCMD Challenge #1, favorite technique. It was a little tricky to do my favorite "layers" card since my Pinkfresh stash it super small. For the floral paper, I used the packaging from one of their ephemera.

      I just love the puffy stickers. They add a nice depth to an otherwise flat card.  

   Be sure to pop back as I will be sharing the rest of my WCMD creations.

WCMD 2014

   Happy World Card Making Day, everyone. I love this paper crafting holiday so much that I have made cards for it every year for the Paper Crafts magazine contest. This year, I will be doing the same thing plus doing some of the challenges that are going to be posted on blogs. I am hoping to get 18 cards done today. I am not sure if that is going to happen since I am a little rusty but this week I did do a couple of card practices. I hoping the few new products I got will speed the cards up. 

Here is what I got from A Cherry On Top.

Boys Rule Chipboard Die Cuts - Crate Paper

Shimelle Ephemera - American Crafts

Beautiful Mixed Bag - Mint Julep - Jubilee - My Minds Eye

Home For The Holidays Chipboard - Echo Park

Glitter Vellum - All That Glitters - Webster's Pages

I also bought some doilies from Hobby Lobby. Since I have a lot of newer papers I decided just to get some embellishments because I have a very small stash of them. 

I am hoping a few cards will be coming of my table today and they will be looking like this. 

Have a great day and I am hoping very little interruptions today.
