World Card Making Day Part 2

Hi all - I'm back with a second post today, sharing a card I made while watching the online WCMD Scrapbooks and Cards Today event on YouTube (link is to full playlist). There were six wonderful presenters, each sharing cards and products. My card, though, mostly uses stuff from Simon Says Stamp.


Supplies: Paper - Recollections A2 card;
Lawn Fawn Plaid & Watercolor Wishes;
TH Distress Watercolor; scraps
Stamps with dies - Tim Holtz Festive Watercolor Bundle (sold out)
Dies - Simon Says Stamp Cute Cardinal;
Memory Box Bello Joy;
Other - foam tape; SSS Starshine dots;
white gel pen

The darling cardinal was a SSS Stamptember exclusive & is out of stock. I die cut it from scraps & assembled, adding some white gel pen details. It's been sitting on the craft desk waiting for a home. I was inspired to add it to some foliage from the Tim Holtz event I did on Sunday. 

Die cut some stitched rectangles and inked the edges. Added to an A2 card. Adhered foliage arrangement on the left of the blue rectangle and popped the cardinal onto it with foam tape. Added the die cut sentiment, also with foam tape. Some SSS crystal dots left over from the TH event finished the card.

I'm sharing my card at the Simon Says Stamp World Card Making Day celebration and at Darnell's October NBUS Challenge #79 since my cardinal is newly used.

I also participated in the Craft Roulette World Card Making Day 2025 online event. Hosts Mary & Amanda had a new guest every half hour, each making a card with the parameters I shared in my earlier post today. Since I'd already posted a CR card in the wee hours this morning, I could only post a bonus to the members section. It doesn't count toward the weekly participation cards. The bonus still uses the same parameters of "saying hi", crisp colors, sun, & pennants.


Supplies: Paper - Recollections A2 card and blue cardstock;
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
Paper Studio orange & yellow; scraps
Spellbinders Under the Sun &
Stitched Taking Notes (DOMST-Apr25)
Other - foam tape

Simple die cutting and assembly, then done! The backdrop is a stitching die but I left it unstitched. If you'd like to see it stitched, I did a card that way HERE.

Thanks for stopping by & have a crafty weekend!!
