World Card Making Day!

It's time to celebrate World Card Making Day! In honor of this event, I've created the following cards:

Cardstock: Bazzill
Patterned paper: Graphic 45
Holiday stickers: K & Company
Flowers, crystal swirls: Prima
Trim: Wright's
Border punch: Martha Stewart

This second card was inspired by the October Sheetload of Cards sketch. I took the sketch and turned it upside down to create this:

Cardstock: Bazzill
Patterned paper: Graphic 45
Holiday sticker: K & Company
Rub-on sentiments: Making Memories
Crystal swirls: Prima
Flowers: Michaels
Other: sewing machine stitich, crocheted trim
Border punch: Martha Stewart

This third card is inspired by Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #17 using the following color palette:

I found a journaling card from Webster's Pages that worked perfectly with the colors, and with this week's Card Patterns Sketch # 35, this is the card that I made as a result:

 

Cardstock: Bazzill
Journaling block: Webster's Pages
Corrugated paper: Ellison
Glittered paper: Marcella by K
Sentiment: SCAL & Cricut (font: Lauren Script)
Flowers, crystal swirls: Prima
Other: sewing machine stitching, trim, rhinestone charm

Hi Christine,

As it's WCMD, I'd thought I'd leave a comment on all the blogs I have on my blogroll.

I must admit, I am usually guilty of admiring and running.

Hope you're doing something fun and card-y today :)

Christine, I am a lurker!!! Been one for some time. Today, I had a bit of free surf time with my morning coffee. So, you have gone a great job getting the lurker to stop and breathe.

Love your graphic 45 Christmas Card. Beautiful, exquisite! May I please scrap jack this card? I am going to go out and buy an oval punch. If you get a chance could you post the measurements of the card and the approximate size of that oval?

Once again, enjoy receiving your frequent e-mails. Not sure if i can get a card done for your blog candy.
Thank you for sharing your creativity!!!!
