Happy Friday everyone! Tomorrow is World Card Making Day so I figured I would fill today’s post with cards that I love! Sound like fun? Let’s do this!
I love the wonderful colours and the simplicity of these cards.
These onesie cards are super fun for a baby announcement or congratulations to new parents.
I love how you can create such a beautiful card by folding a doily.
The details on these paper hearts make them look just like fabric appliques. Sweet!
This winter white scene is stunning. I love all the crisp white cutouts.
I hope you have been inspired by all these cards. There are lots of exciting events taking place on World Card Making Day both in person and online. If you are a card maker, enjoy the day! If you are not a card maker, why not challenge yourself to create a card or two. You never know, you may find a new hobby!

Enjoy your website—tips and posts. Would love to win a mystery box. I and two card making friends just attended the scrapbook expo in Denver CO yesterday. What a great convention. We had a wonderful time. Hope to see that again next year. We generally will always drive the 250 miles to Colorado for a convention as we have nothing closer. Keep doing what you do to keep us crafting. Thanks
I like to think that I am a Jane of all things crafty! 😉 Scrapbooker, cardmaker, PLer, mixed media-er(?), stamper…I like to dabble in a bit of it all! 🙂 thanks for the chance!
I do both. The examples of cards today are beautiful in their diversity.
I just love your site! Very inspiring!
I do more scrapbooking than card making. But I do both. I crossover card technique & design I like in cards onto scrap pages.
I’m a scrapbooker and art journaler!
I love making cards! Creativity is flowing this week — I’ve made 8 cards in the last week!
I am both a card maker and Scrapbooker! Thanks for the opportunity to win a mystery box! That sounds so exciting to get a box filled with goodies!
Love your baby cards. I am a card maker.
Loved your samples. I do both cards and scrapbook!
I love to do both, scrapbook and card making.
Definitely a cardmaker–mailing out about 200 cards yearly. After doing one scrapbook, swore I would not do another, but succumbed to making two more at the request of granddaughters.
I am a card maker.
I love to scrapbook, I have made a few cards but would love to make more. The cards I made I sent to our troops for them to send to their love ones.
I’ve been a scrapbooker for years. Just bought a cuttlebug this year so my scrapbook pages are turning out with a more artitistic flair. I love it.
I am an avid card maker but also enjoy scrapbooks too. Love all the great card examples especially the onsie card…so cute.
Wow…what gorgeous cards,I’m still learning a little of everything.I’m new in cardmaking,scrapbooking and others but I’m willing to learn.I most say that I loved the doily dress,amazing!
Card maker first, scrapbooker second.
I am a card maker with a hint of art journal on the side!
Love getting these emails. I am a card maker and Aldo enjoy making boxes and photo books.
OHHHHHH! I am a card-maker and looking forward to making some of these cards tomorrow! It would be really cool to get a surprise in the mail. Thanks for sponsoring!
I’ve been doing multiple paper crafts for many years. Now focusing on cards and quilling ornaments. I love the doily dress and will use one on a manikin shaped ornament with quilled flowers. Always love your great inspiration, even after all these years of crafting!
I like to do both and a Mystery Box full of goodies sounds exciting!
Absolutely love the doily dress! Thanks for sharing!
I love to do both as well and more. Thanks!
I am a cardmaker!
I started with scrapbooking and have added card making to allow my creativity an outlet . I enjoy doing both and love to brighten someone’s day with a handmade creation made specifically for them. I would be so happy to receive a Mystery Box!
All cards are so inspiring! I especially love the oneses! I am a card maker and love every moment of it!
I love these cards and as a papercrafter (I do everything with paper) I find inspiration in all of these!
Definitely a cardmaker — far too disorganized to get scrapbooks together! But I also use my dies to do many other things: centerpieces, ornaments, place cards…everything is better with some well-cut paper!!!
Thanks for the card ideas — the white houses are just up my alley!!
I am a scrapbooker at heart. I began making cards when I realized that most of what they sold in stores could be made better and with more love if i did them myself. I love doing both!!
Hello fellow crafters, I love to scrapbook and make cards. I make all my Christmas cards to give out one by one. No two are alike. I start early in June sometimes at our annual “girls week” with my mom & aunt. Been doing it for years now. My aunt started us in scrap booking and it took off from there. I now work part time and went back to school recently to earn a degree but i still try to craft with my mom every week. There’s always time to craft 🙂 Thanks everyone.
I am a scrapbooker/ cardmaker/ art journaler. I play with lots of mediums though I’ve not done much of anything in the past few months. Moved into my new studio and would love new toys to play with. Creative Blessings! Kelly
I am a card maker and I love it!!
I set out to make scrapbooks for my son about three years. So I went out a started buying all the supplies I needed to make albums. Since I was a newbie I started to watch YouTube videos. Well then I started to come across videos of all these amazing cards. That was it I was hooked, needless to say those supplies have sat in a corner collecting dust, lol. I never looked back, definitely cards. Thanks for the chance to win.
I started as a card maker, then decided to scrapbook too, and am now passionate about both! I absolutely love all these cards! I’m especially excited about the baby ones, as my daughter is expecting her first soon!
I do both…I scrapbook more, but cards are so fun…like a scrapbook page on a smaller scale 🙂
Great inspiration! I am both a scrapper and card maker.
I am both a scrapbooker and a card maker, and I LOVE surprises! Love these cards that were featured today!
I love this baby onesie card!
I am a little of both. Love all the samples, especially liked the onesie. Would love to have a surprise box.
I’m a scrapbooker who just started making cards. Since my daughter is having a baby soon, I really loved the onesies cards. Would love a surprise mystery box.
I love a good mystery!! i am an avid scrapbooker, art journalist, and card maker. whatever you got, i will love and put to a very good use.
I am happy to say I am both. I thought my scrapbooking days were over as my granddaughter had joined the military and was quite a distance away. Now I am a great grandma. I am scrapbooking a baby album. The baby cards are adorable. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic roundup of cards! I am both a scrapper and card maker.
I would love the baby onesie template for a baby shower for a dear friend. Maybe the mystery box would have goodies that I could use for that baby shower, hint, hint?
I love the wedding card. Please show/tell us how to make it. What a great use of a doily and the card comes out so elegant. I am a scrapbooker and a card maker.
Okay, I admit it. I’m not super savy about pinning things. But I did go back after I posted here and found the directions for the wedding card. Oh my gosh!!! It is so easy. Check this link out.

I’ve been stamping since 1995 and scrapbooking since about 2000. I love the inspiration and ideas provided by each of you in each post from Scrapbook Expo. Thank you!
I scrapbook and make cards. my last big card project was making all the Invitations and Thank you cards for my wedding last year.
I love making cards, scrapbooking and mini-albums! I also love winning prizes!! THanks for your great tips!
Loved the onesies and white Christmas cards.enjoyed the others too!
The onsies cards are so adorable! I am a card maker and like to also create mixed media art!
I’m mostly a card maker, because I enjoy making something special to make other people feel loved and special. Sounds cheesy, but it is true! I also like scrapbooking, though. Working on my son’s baby book at the moment. Thank you for the chance!
Awesome card ideas ! I am a combination of both cards and scrapbooker ! I also do a lot of altered art with paper as well! I love creating new things !
I am a cardmaker. I have done a couple of scrapbooks but my real love is cards!
I am a scrapbook er with a minor in cards.
I started scrapbooking over ten years ago and only recently started card crafting. I would love to win this mystery box!
I am a card maker, but have just started playing with pocket scrapbooking. This is a great time if year for all types of crafting.
I do a combination of both. My favorite is card making. I tell my family it is cheaper than therapy and I’ve made something beautiful when I’m done.
How fun! I am mostly a scrapbooker, but I love to make fun cards too!
Love the onesie cards!!!
I LOVE to do both. Tho lately I have been making more scrapbooks for gifts, wish there was more hours in the day so I could work on Family books. OHHHH well keeps me happy.
I am primarily a scrapbooker, but I do make cards off and on as well mostly for family birthdays or other holidays as I am not happy with the store selections, especially for my dad. I would love the chance to win the mystery box! Thank you for the opportunity.
I’ve been a scrapbooker, but in the last year I’ve been trying to make cards! It’s been a learning process but I’m getting better…I’m starting to enjoy giving handmade cards instead of way over priced store cards!!!!
I have been crafting since I was just a little tyke and I think I will be crafting in my grave too!! I love cardmaking, altered art, mixed media, upcycled art, quilting, book making and coloring!! Life would not be the same if I didn’t craft! It relaxes me and when I get in the zone I am able to forget about my pain even if it is for a little while!! My Home Health nurse took my blood pressure before I went into my Craft Room and then 15 minutes after I went into it. It was significantly lower AFTER spending time creating. Now we just need to convince the insurance companies that creating IS a remedy so they will help cover our supplies!!
I love Freebie Friday.
I love making cards.I’m also just getting started with mixed media projects.
Card making is what I love best! However, I’m beginning to get into scrapbooking now. My granddaughter and I have begun making wreaths as well as other projects. Ya’ll have some of the best supplies around. Look forward to continuing to learn and use your products.
I’m both a scrapbooker, and card maker. I’m so much into cards I preplan them months ahead! My thanksgiving cards are in their envelopes and Christmas greetings are in the planning.
I love both scrapping and card making! Love seeing and sharing all the posts from this site! Thanks for all the great ideas!
With World Card Making Day this past weekend, one would think that to say I’m more of a “card maker” is the appropriate answer for this contest. But, I live in two worlds: Card Making and Scrapbooking. Depending on what is happening in life at that moment, dictates whether I am creating a card masterpiece to touch someone’s life or if I’m scrapbooking a memory so it will not fade away. Thank you for the electronic canvas here to express my answer. Cheers!
I will celebrate Card-Making Day by making cards all day!!! I am a card maker. Thanks for your great ideas.

I am a card maker. The closest I’ve come to scrapping is making a family cookbook which was quite fun.
Scrapbooking, card making, pocket pages/project life, mini albums …. give me any one of these and I am in heaven! What’s better than creating memories through whatever medium and sharing that with important others in your life!
I do both, but mainly cards. I have 11 grandchildren so I am always making cards for someone.

I am indeed a card maker! I just finally organized my craft room after making cards for our senior citizens. We make cards for them for every major holiday and we go and present them with cards and goodies! We started small, but they love the cards so much, it has grown to a large group! 🙂
I would say I’m a combination gal who also enjoys various other crafts. Thanks for the opportunity to participate in your giveaway.

Would love to win this and dig into all the surprise goodies to enhance my cardmaking. Starting to get those Christmas cards under way but still get all the birthdays and others fit in.
I am a scrapbooker for myself and everyone else. I had a niece go to college this fall so we spent the summer making her scrapbook to take to college. Also my youngest sister had her first baby and so I have a new book of baby Lenai. I use the free craft room at Michaels to make cards as well.

I love to make multimedia projects and cards……lots of these supplies are interchangeable……..and so fun to use with so many projects……
I am a card maker. Had a great time at the Expo last weekend and heading over to my cousin’s house to put some of my learning to use tonight!
I do both but have been making more cards lately. I really need to get some pictures printed so I can get back to scrapbooking.
I call myself a paper crafter as everything I make is from paper. I find that anything I make is a gift and I don’t make things for myself. So I need to be better at taking pictures to show people what I do.
I used just do scrapbooking for so many years and recently started to make cards. Actually I find making cards are really fun especially if you learn some new techniques and all the cutting, stamping that makes it really fun. I love both!! 🙂
I mostly scrapbook. But with all,the beautiful cards out there it has peaked my interest to make cards. I’ve made a few and would like to make more
I do a combination of both.
I do a little bit of everything. Any thing with paper
What beautiful cards! I especially love the winter white one. I am a cardmaker and would love to be the winner of the cardmaking pack!
I love both cardmaking and scrapbooking. But, I love cardmaking so much I share my ideas and host card making classes at least 4 times a year at my church. The ladies just love my cards. Not to brag, but just to share my favorite comment from many of my card making buddies, they say, “I can’t give away the card I made. I have to keep it”. 🙂 I’d love just a little more card making stash to share with my class. Thanks!
I am a card maker but don’t seem to find as much time to enjoy it as I would like. I love all the inspiration given here.
I would love to be the winner of the surprise box!
Would love to win some great surprises!
Beautiful cards. I’m a combo of both card maker and scrapbooker. I started out scrapbooking, and then spotted these darling stamps by Sherri Baldy My-Besties and was hooked into card making.
I love all of these cards! I am into making cards and the idea of doing scrapbooks. Thanks for all of the ideas!
Fabulous creations! I mainly make cards but have done both.
I love some of the cards I am seeing on this site. There are so many wonderful tools to help us make beautiful cards, all we need is a little time and some creativity. I would be proud to win anything you guys are giving away, I love this craft and also do scrapbooking.
Thanks, Pat
