Happy World Card-Making Day!!

Hi everyone & Happy WCMD!! I'll be juggling two online events today - one at Scrapbooks Cards Today (starts at 9:30 Eastern Time) and one at Craft Roulette (starts at noon Central Time). Can't wait for all the fun!!

Meantime - I have a card started during Craft Roulette Episode #287 last night but finished much later. 

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;

Recollections green; scrap of blue unk

Stamps - Hero Arts Kiss for the Sun & Acts

of Kindness (both retired)

& Everyday Sentiment Strips

Dies - AJVD Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set;

Sunny Studio Slimline Nature Borders;

Hero Arts Sentiment Strips Fancy Die (sold out)

Other - Copic Markers; foam tape; Park Lane twine

Host Mary Gunn FUNN had Amanda Stevens (‪@PearBlossomPress‬) as her guest. Amanda's company does the light-up mechanisms that we got to use at Paperganza this summer - so fun! Mary & Amanda will be hosting the CR WCMD event with a bunch of different guests; all will be working with last night's CR parameters.

• Project - Saying Hi: I used a Hi Friend sentiment.
• Colors - Crisp: I used colors of crisp things - red apples, orange carrots, yellow Cap'n, Crunch, green peppers, blue for blueberry crisp, white onions.
• Element - Sun/Sunny(ies): I added a sun. 
• Random - Pennant(s): I added three pennants to my clothesline.

I stamped and fussy cut all the clothesline elements and the sun. Added them to a stitched rectangle with die cut grass. Stamped and die cut the sentiment strips panel, selecting a strip with "hi", plus four more to scatter on my grass. Assembled everything on the stitched rectangle & used baker's twine for my clothesline. I sketched a line with a pencil, applied a thin line of glue and then the twine. It was supposed to be a deeper arch, oh well... Added the scene to an A2 card using foam tape - done! 

Since it was vampire hours, as Cat calls them, & I had laundry in the dryer, I decided to make a card for Just Us Girls #795 Die Week featuring Leaves. I was inspired by my friend & JUGS guest designer Greta (GGCreations) to pull out a Poppystamps leafy frame. Update: when I linked to JUGS, card one was entered - meant it to be card two. I don't see a way to edit their linky...

Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card (used half);

Paper Studio Ivory; scraps

Dies - Poppystamps Harvest Oval Frame

(retired but still HERE at Frantic Stamper); 

Hero Arts Autumn Leaves

Betterpress Plate w/die - Spellbinders You Are Everything Sentiments

Other - Park Lane gems; foam tape

Simply die cut the frame and three additional leaves, then added to an A2 card. A popped up Betterpressed sentiment & some gems finished the card. Quick and easy!! Not a bad start to WCMD, right? Note - when I linked to 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful World Card-Making Day!!
