World Card Making Day Blog Hop



Today October 5th, is World Card Making Day!
A day to celebrate the "kick-off" of the holiday card making season.



CropStop is getting ready, too.  We invite you to "jump" along with us on our World Card Making Day Blog Hop and join in our challenge to you...

"Inspire us and share your project"


Starting with the Cropstop Blog, you will visit each of the blogs listed below and leave a comment on each designer's project. Then, create a new project and  link it up at the bottom of the CropStop Blog World Card Making Day post for a chance to win a prize from CropStop.  

There are a few details to share and guidelines to follow:


1. Visit and comment on the blogs listed below. (There may be added blog candy along the way!)

2.  Limit of 3 entry links, please.

3.  All cards must be linked by midnight, October 31, 2013.

4.  Winner chosen by random draw.

5.  Winner has one week to claim their prize by contacting us via cropstopblog@yahoo.com.


Make sure that you are part of this "Around the World" card making day by taking part in our CropStop, "Around the World" Blog Hop!!  You should be coming to me from: Dana's Blog.

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!

  15. gloria, so nice to see you are posting cards that you may have showcased earlier, you need to give that healthy body a bit of a rest. I think showcasing your work the second time round brings out new discovered elements that might have been overlooked the first time. Thanks for sharing your cropstop teams inspiration as well.
