Welcome to Freebie Friday and the final day of Card Style Week! Today, we’re joining forces with Moxie Fab World and 18 other blogs for the Card Style Mystery Blog Hop! The twist…you won’t know the identity of the 18 mystery bloggers until you click on the Card Style button below!
All week long we’ve shown you examples of the four card styles:
- Fun & Cute
- Clean & Graphic
- Classy & Elegant
- Shabby & Vintage
Check out these exclusive online Card Style projects in the fun & cute and clean & graphic styles:
Who wouldn't feel better after receiving Julie Campbell's fun & cute Get Well Soon Card.
And I'm sure Julie made the "Nice" list with her fun & cute Dear Santa Card.
Kim Hughes' Feel Better Couch Card is clean & graphic to a tee.
And you can't get more clean & graphic than Angie Hagist's I Heart You Card.
Is there one style you tend to gravitate towards? Or, are you versatile enough to dabble in them all? Either way, the end result is to have fun. Which is why it’s good to have inspiration, no matter the style, right at your fingertips.
Besides Paper Crafts Connection and Moxie Fab World, your Card Style Mystery Blog Hop will take you to 18 different blogs. Each mystery blogger will show a never-before-seen card in one of the four styles, talk about their experience working on Card Style and reveal their individual go-to style. The best part…the more blogs you visit and leave comments at, the better your chances of winning three prize packages, each valued at more than $350!
This is literally only HALF of the $350 prize package!
Like what you see? Before you begin your blog hop, leave a comment telling me something you learned about your own card style this week. All comments must be received by midnight (MDT) on Sunday, July 20. The three winners will be announced both here and on Moxie Fab World on Tuesday, July 20.

What I learned this week is that I’m clean and graphic with a touch of shabby/vintage! I was cool to recognize my style for the first time!
How fun it was to finally learn what my style leans toward – clean and graphic and classy and elegant. I no longer feel the pressure to be creative in all genres! My paper stash has become a wealth of ideas!
Thank you so much!!
I learned I do a little of them all depending on the person/occasion. Thanks to all the participants in the hop for the inspirations.
I am very much a clean and simple girl, although, I do like to dabble in other styles to push myself.
Thanks for the opportunity,
Donna

I learned I don’t have a defined style!! So, I’m now very inspired to ponder this further and really look at my creating a little differently. Perhaps I can break free and be happier with some of my original work and not rely so heavily on “stylizing” somebody else’s! Thanks, this has been a great learning experience!
I’m least comfortable with the shabby/vintage style, but hope to give it a try. Just purchased the Card Style issue today, can’t wait to try some new ideas.
Thanks for the contest.
I guess most of my cards end up being cute and fun. My cards are usually based on the patterned papers that I have (I love paper).
My style is definitely clean and graphic but I also dabble in fun and cute. I enjoy classy and vintage also, but haven’t learned to ‘get the look’ yet. Still working on it though! The blog hop has been awesome! Such beautiful work from so many different designers. Thanks for allowing me to participate!

I definitely land in the shabby/vintage corner but I’m inspired to get out of my box and try all these styles. It’s fun to learn and push myself where I am not as comfortable.
I learned that I naturally gravitate toward the shabby chic/vintage style, but I really LOVE the elegant style. I also learned that I’d like to challenge myself to try some new styles, just for fun.
It was interesting to learn the styles could be broken down to just four groups. I learned just how much i use more than one style most of the time. Thanks for the fun self-exam!
I really love to look at all the styles but have trouble figuring out my own style. I did learn that there is no harm in trying them all out.
I learned that I make cards in all styles so there must be a category for that too!
I learned I love vintage…but I knew that already.
Thanks for all the work put into this hop. It has been inspiring. I have a different style for different cards…
I definitely find myself in either the classy and elegant or clean and graphic most of the time.
I think I’m fun and cute and clean & graphic.
I am definitely clean and graphic! But now that I’ve seen the other examples I’m going to try them!
Hmm, I think I’m a mixture of clean & graphic and classy and elegant (or maybe I just like to think I am!)
I’ve learned that my style is classy elegant with a touch of shabby. Thanks for all the fun and terrific inspiration.
Something I learned is that I am somewhere between Clean & Graphic and Fun & Cute with a little Classy & elegant thrown in for good measure…don’t feel like I fit into one style!
I’m totally a clean and graphic girl with a touch of cuteness thrown in. I can’t wait to do the blog hop
I am a Shabby Chic/Vintage and Classy/Elegant. I do love all the styles and have been inspired to try the other styles.
Thanks for all the inspiration and the introduction to fellow crafters. I had a great time on my mystery trip.
I think I would have to say that I am a mix of a few different style! There are elements in each that I love! Now off to the blog hop…thanks for the chance to win!
What a great blog hop you organized – really enjoyed it. I don’t have one specific style, but love them all.!

I learned that while my style may lean towards more of a “clean and simple” look I can easily experiment with other styles and have great success! Thanks for the chance to win an awesome prize. Hopping away now…
Well, I have a little of clean and graphic, and also classy and elegant-and occasionally do the fun and cute. Would like to venture into the world of shabby and vintage. Off to do the blog hop and I’m sure I’ll learn alot more!
Thanks for the amazing trip, I got tons of inspiration and the name for my style which seems to be clean and graphic!!!!
I feel a little “homeless” with my style….this issue is a NEED for me.
Can’t wait to get my hands on it!!!
Wonderful info! I loved learning about all the elements to create a different style. I think overall I enjoy classy and elegant the most.
I think I’ve realized my style is pretty close to shabby and vintage, and i’m going to embrace it and run with it!
I learned that my style is clean & graphic. I used to feel bad that I didn’t make elaborate cards…but I think I can accept it, now!
looove the blog hop! love seeing everyone’s wonderful creations!
i learned that we can be more than one style. love practicing the other styles i’m not as good at.
*hugs* steph
I think I’m versatile enough to do the four style. But I feel toward doing the clean and graphic with a touch of classy and elegance in my card. Something I haven’t done before and would love to give it a try. I found so much inspirations here and in the blog hop.
I’ve learned that I’m mostly clean and graphic.
I found out that I gravitate towards the “clean and graphic” style.
What a fabulous issue! This is a must have. Thanks for the chance to win!

I learned that I love the look of shabby chic, but cant pull it off. I am better at clean and graphic.
Loved your blog hop! What a lot of talent and inspiration!
Let’s see, what I learned about my cardmaking style? Well, I think that maybe it would be that I don’t really know what my style is. I do a little bit of this and a little bit of that. One thing I do know is that I don’t do shabby vintage very well, it just doesn’t come together for me. What is my style? I’ve been saying simple and clean, but I’m not really sure that is right either.
Thanks for the opportunity to win these wonderful prizes. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I tend to create the most in the classic/elegant style, but absolutely love it when I have the time to make a shabby/vintage project.
My style is clean and simple with a twist of funky and I can not pull of shabby/vintage to save my life!
I think that I have figured out that I am classy and elegant with a twist of vintage!
i really love shabby chic style cards but i can never pull that off.mine never looks together.
I am a cross between clean and graphic & classy and elegant.
I think I am still confused about my style! mostly because it changes.
I thought I was a mix of shabby/vintage and formal, but now i think it might be fun and cute….whatever it is i still enjoy what i do!
I am such a shabby chic and vintage girl. I love that style, and it shows. Those are the papers, embellishments, etc. that I always seem to gravitate to buying.
Thanks for this great series. It was a lot of fun, and thanks for the great giveaway, too!

I’ve learned that my got-to style is a mix between fun&cute and clkean&graphic =)
I loved learning that although vintage and shabby chic is my first love… I really do enjoy experimenting with all of the styles and it’s nice to have the freedom and inspiration to try any style I want! It’s easy with magazines like Paper Crafts to gain inspiration and this “Card Style” publication was done so well!
I am learning that texture is important to me and I probably lean towards shabby and vintage too.
I love those amazing cards! What a wonderful blog hop this is!
