Did you know today is World Card Making Day, a holiday especially for cardmakers to “celebrate the creativity of handmade cards and the personal connection they create between family and friends.” In celebration of WCMD, Lizzie Anne Designs has released a special set at a special price AND placed five other sets on sale ($12 each !! TODAY ONLY), four of which coordinate perfectly with the new release. Details here.
Did you also know that Lizzie Anne Designs is having a card contest? Design a card using LAD stamps (that’s the only requirement–any other products are fine). The winner of this contest will win a $50 gift certificate plus the new WCMD release set, and the winning card will be featured in the November newsletter. Additionally, TEN runners-up will win the new WCMD release set! And the best part? Every card entered into the contest will be donated to Cards for Cancer. Get all the contest details here. (Note that all entries must be received by October 28!)
I decided to give this LAD set, Merry & Bright, a bit of a different look by going western. I used markers, coloring directly onto the stamps then stamping onto the vanilla cardstock. I added a bit of sponging, then faux stitching with a Chocolate marker.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great weekend with lots of time for stamping/card making. Don’t forget to check out that new Lizzie Anne Designs set and the contest!
