World Card Making Day Projects–Part 2
Like I mentioned earlier this week, at my World Card Making Day event, I brought supplies for everyone to make cards based on two different layouts. I shared the first layout in a previous post and so I thought I would share the second layout today.
So, here is the card that I made as a sample:
It is a super quick and easy card and it lets you feel like you are an artist (even if you are like me and can’t paint or draw worth anything ) by giving you space to color using markers and/or water coloring.
So, given those card components, here are some of the cute creations the other folks came up with:
Karolina’s cards
Pam’s card –
this is another example of why I love it when folks take my samples and do their own thing. I love how she tucked the sentiment label between the designer paper layer and the scalloped edge. It’s a different way of layering I probably wouldn’t have thought of on my own.
Card Recipes:
Stamps: Fun and Fast Notes, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Real Red CS, Basic Gray CS, Crumb Cake CS, Bashful Blue CS, Greenhouse Gala DSP, Celebrations DSP
Ink: Basic Black, Pacific Point, Stampin’ Write markers
Accessories: Scallop edge punch, Scallop trim punch, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, Blender pens, Watercolor pen

World Card Making Day fun
I meant to get this post up sooner but my camera suddenly did not want to talk to my computer and so the photos were in limbo for a while. Thankfully, after much massaging, sweet talking, and cajoling, my camera finally decided to let me pull off the pictures.
Did you do something fun for World Card Making Day this last Saturday?
I met with some folks to create some cards to donate to Operation Write Home and send our cards out to the troops overseas. We ended up with a small group, but it was still a very fun group and we enjoyed hanging out for a couple hours and just letting our creative sides loose.
This was the first to two cards I designed for the day. However, instead of cutting all the same paper for everyone, I cut a bunch of different color cardstock and designer series paper in the dimensions needed for the cards. Then everyone could use the same basic design but get creative on color combinations, stamps, and even the layout. I have to say, I got some new fun ideas from what everyone made.
So from that, folks mixed and match and came up with some fun variations on this card. Here are some examples of what folks did using the same dimensions of base layers:
Bethani’s Cards

Karolina’s Cards
Pam’s Christmas Card
Kind of neat how the same idea could be used in different ways? Later this week, I’ll share the other designs we made on Saturday.

Coming soon – samples for the World Cardmaking Day event
So, I’ve been spending the day stamping and cardmaking in honor of World Cardmaking Day. I’m visiting with my mom today for her Christmas Stamp-a-Stack. We made 4 different card styles (3 each) and they were pretty cute. I also made a couple samples for the World Cardmaking Day open house tomorrow. I’ll be posting pictures of the cards we are making tomorrow later this evening and will post my Christmas cards soon after.
See you soon!

World Cardmaking Day Event
Finally, after the long move to Portland I am here and have gotten my computer back up and connected to the internet. Yay! I’m still unpacking all of my craft room stuff but I can’t wait to get my hands on my stampin stuff. I’ll have to get cracking because this weekend is my first Stampin’ Up! event here in Portland.
World Cardmaking Day is a day for us to remember how nice it is to receive personalized notes from friends and family, and so take some time out to have fun creating cards to share. So, to get you in the card making spirit, I’m hosting an Open House at my place Sunday Oct 5th. This is a free event to stop by, enjoy some fun people, snack on some treats, and make a couple of free cards! Plus, there will even be a door prize just to keep things hopping. 🙂
And if that wasn’t enough, Stampin’ Up! is even offering a special just for World Cardmaking Day! From Oct 4-11, order any Simply Sent Card kit or Card Elements kit for 20% off. These kits give you pretty much everything you need to make 10-12 cards quickly and easily. Its a great way to keep the creative juices rolling and let someone you care about know you are thinking of them.
Stop by my website or email me at stampingwithjennifer@gmail.com to get more details on the World Cardmaking Day event or to order your card kit during this special week!
