A Swallowtail and World Card Making Day!

Had a fun day today visiting with a couple of my customers who came by to stamp their My paper Pumpkin cards!  They added a few little extra elements to their cards to "step" them up a little!  Check out www.mypaperpumpkin.com to see how to sign up for this monthly subscription service.  You never know what wonderful project will show up in your mailbox!  As long as there is interest in the class, I will offer this free monthly class to subscribers!

I was going through my photos that I have taken of cards at different events and ran across this card!  I'm not sure but I think I took the picture at my upline's house recently and it was a card she got in a monthly swap she participates in.  What a beauty!  Looks like Pool Party embossing powder on vellum cardstock layered over an Island Indigo butterfly. The background is Pool Party DSP.  This one is definitely on my list of cards I'd like to make!

Tomorrow is World Card Making Day!  Hope you can take time to stamp!  I plan to go to my upline's class she is having and stamp several cards!  Check out this card making contest by Stampin'Up!

WORLD CARD MAKING DAY CONTEST

October 5 is World Card Making Day. It’s a day to celebrate creativity and to make something meaningful. It’s also a day to kick off the holiday season and get a head start on making seasonal cards.

To celebrate this wonderful day, each concept artist has created a card to share with you. Making cards is a great way to express your creativity and foster relationships. We hope that this inspires you to make a card for someone on October 5.

In addition, Stampin’ Up is having a contest . . . to inspire you even further!

There are two ways to enter.
