I am sharing a "repeat" card with you today...for two reasons. First, World Card Making Day IS party time! And second, these AMAZING Dreamboat 3-in-1 folders, stamps, and die sets are now available for PRE-ORDER at the CropStop store! Click HERE to see the whole set! 

I used the Party Time set. For the kraft panel, I embossed the kraft cardstock with the Party Time folder. I then rubbed the raised areas with pink ink. I then rubbed the whole panel with watermark ink and embossed with clear, glitter embossing powder. Sparkly!

I stamped the cupcake image from the Party Time stamp set and colored it. I also stamped one of the sentiments. I used one of the matching Party Time die cuts to cut the bow for the cake stand.

Here is another look at this great collection! This time, I rubbed the embossed panel with white ink and then stamped the Party Time cupcake images into the various circles. I stamped one of the sentiments for a focal point. I used the Party Time banner die cut shapes to make all the banners.

Thanks for joining me on the hop! You next stop is Pam's Blog!

Make sure to leave a comment....I have a prize to give away! I spy some Graphic 45, plus...a Christmas stamp that I designed! I will do a random draw in a few weeks for the winner!

A little about World Card Making Day...

  

World Card Making Day began in 2006 as National Card Making Day founded by Paper Crafts magazine, and was so popular, it is now a worldwide event. 

Celebrating its eighth year in 2013, World Card Making Day is celebrated annually on the first Saturday in October. It's a day for the card-making community -- hobbyists, retailers, and manufacturers -- to unite and celebrate the connection and creativity that is the heart of card making.
