World Cardmaking Day 2012


Happy World Card Making Day! Today I'm sharing holiday cards that I made with
 Purple Onion Design's noteblock stamps--and I have a giveaway, too!


The noteblock stamps make for quick cards. For both cards, I white embossed and 
ink distressed in a variety of distress ink colors. 






I added some paper punched leaves for the Thanksgiving card 




and some bats to finish off the Halloween card.

Michele has graciously allowed me to giveaway a Halloween noteblock to one of my blog followers.

If you would like a chance to win the noteblock stamp, simply leave me a comment on this post from now until October 9th and I'll draw and announce a random winner on October 10th.

I'll add some extra goodies, too.








Also, for you Stacey Yacula fans, her holiday stamps will be available soon! The design team got a sneaky peek and all I can say is that they are over the top A-DORABLE! 

Thanks so much for stopping by and celebrating World Card Making Day!

    I absolutely love your style in all the cards you make!
    The colors used in the background are perfect for each of the notebook stamps. The embellishments add the extra punch. Thanks for sharing your creativity!

    Hi Donna, happy WCMD! I though I posted a comment before (I did it from my phone on the side of a soccer field...maybe that didn't quite work out!). Anyway, what i said before was that I LOVE the colors you distressed and the dry embossed card base...so perfect! Thanks for sharing your amazing talents with us...you inspire me!

    Such fun projects Donna! I love those subway sign-style stamps! And those little punched pieces are too cute:)

    Isn't blending that ink so much fun? It's like therapy to me;)
