world card making day 2014

On Saturday, October 4th we celebrated another World Card Making Day! This was our 3rd Annual World Card Making Day event that myself and some of my team of demonstrators (1st year & 2nd year) held together. We had another great turnout of 21 stampers and added one more demonstrator into the mix to join us, so each of the guests made 10 cards (5 card designs, 2 of each design). Each guest came away ready for sending some handmade love in the mail (or hand delivered)...times ten! We had fun raffle prizes and lots of door prizes on the half hour. There was even a small consolation prize for everyone!

Let's stamp!

The first card is the one I designed for this event. Each stamper was able to choose which sentiment they wanted for their two cards. I had the Petite Pairs stamp set available. The first half of the sentiment fit perfectly on the front of the card next to the flower...

...and then finished off on the inside.

Stamp Sets	Flower Patch, Petite Pairs
Ink	Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Versamark
Paper	Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Accessories	SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin’ Dimensionals, In-Color Sequins, Crisp Cantaloupe Ruffled Ribbon (retired)
Tools	Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Flower Fair Framelits

These next four cards were created by my fellow demonstrators whom I teamed up with.

 Just a sampling of our fabulous stampers who came to hang out with us for the afternoon!

world card making day 2013

On Saturday, October 5th we celebrated World Card Making Day!! This was the second year that myself and 3 other demonstrators hosted this fun event together. (Click HERE to see last year's event!) And this year, it was another great turn out! There were 22 stampers who came by to enjoy an afternoon of card making with us! Each of us designed a card and the guests made two of each, taking home 8 cards ready to send off to family and friends! This year we tried to take it up a notch and even had raffle prizes!! I am already looking forward to next year!

These first two cards are the ones that I designed. They are a CASE from cards I found on Pinterest HERE, HERE, and HERE. Not sure whose card came first! ;)

 

The next three cards were created by my fellow demonstrators.

world card making day 2012

On Saturday, October 6th, three other demonstrators and I held a World Card Making Day event for our customers. Each of us designed one card and the guests made two of each and went home with eight cards ready to send to family and friends! There were about 20 in attendance and it seemed like everyone had a great time! We hope to make this an annual thing and celebrate World Card Making Day together every year!

 This first card is the one I designed. I wanted to keep it simple, but still give options for everyone to create their own look, so I gave choices for the image, background embossing, ribbon color, and sentiment.
