I hope you've all had at least a bit of time to get crafty and celebrate World Card Making Day!
I created a few cards earlier and am sharing two of them here. This first one is a Christmas card - thought I'd better get started on them!
I love this die from Memory Box! It's called Frostyville Frame. I've had it for awhile and just haven't used it yet. Thought it would look pretty with a silver embossed sentiment from Hero Arts. Simple but elegant.
My next card was created for a special lady who could use some hugs right now. After seeing this card from Shari Carroll, I had to create a similar one! She continues to amaze me with her talent and creativity!
Here's my take:
I used the Circle on a Line die from SSS and paper from the same paper pack as Shari. I left out the flower and instead, stamped a circle from the Simon Says Stamp Lots of Dots set, punched it out and added sentiments from Hero Arts. I also added just a bit of splatter.
I just have to say, that on this special day, when we card makers can celebrate our hobby, I am so very grateful for all the friends I have made from around the world! Just think . . . if I hadn't started making cards almost 4 years ago, I would never have met any of you (some in person, some online.) I feel so blessed to have inspiration, support, encouragement, love and friendship from all of you - Thank you!!!
Hugs and Happy WCMD!!! ♥

Belated Happy World Cardmaking Day! I couldn't visit that day--I was on vacation and it's so hard visiting blogs from my iPhone! I just have to tell you what a treat it is to visit your blog and to see the little touches you add to your cards that make them so special! And it always brightens my day to see a "Barb comment" on my blog! Hugs to you...
What a BEAUTIFUL Christmas card, and what a lovely "Thinking of You" card! I love the colors, splatters, design, & the DARLING "hugs" at the bottom. It's just too sweet!
