Today is World Card Making Day, and it seemed like a great reason to sit down and work on the cards I need for upcoming birthday and special events. Most of them can’t be shared on the blog quite yet, but I did make a card set to share.
Once I finished the first one, I decided to make a couple more in different colors. The Flourish is a wooden stamp I picked up at The Paper Source a year or so ago, and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink’s “Botanical Silhouettes.” I scored the bottom with the Martha Steward ScoreBoard which I use nearly every time I do some crafting, and finished them off with a couple of rhinestones from Hero Arts.
As well as cards, I’ve been working on the journaling cards for the September Project Life pages. My friend, Mary, is coming over to craft on Monday and I want to have the photos printed and the cards ready so I can get September finished before too much happens in October.
Hope you’re having a great weekend. It’s gray, chilly, and dreary here—a good day for crafting!

Beautiful cards 🙂 I spent yesterday scrapping a couple of pages and then preparing what I needed to scrap my LSNED pages on Tuesday when I meet up with my two friends!
These are wonderful – so simple yet so elegant!
These are lovely Karen. I didn’t know card making had it’s own day! 🙂
They are beautiful. I love the combination of capitals and script text.
I hope you had fun crafting over the weekend, and yesterday with your friend. :o) Your cards are so pretty, and I never think to add blink to my stamped images the way you do. It is such a nice touch!
What a wonderful card set. I love the design.
So elegant! I had hoped to do some card making over the last few months (was going to try the 6 on the 6th to make Christmas cards), but it just hasn’t happened.
But now I”m thinking of making some cards to send Henry at school because I remember how much I used to love getting mail.
