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.

Happy Hoppin’,

I love all of the styles. I gravitate to the Fun and Cute style but it also depends on the receiver. I try to do something that I know they will like.
I learned that I like all the styles here, so maybe we need to add a style… eclectic. I think I get influenced by so many card designers that I try everything and never seem to settle with just one style. THanks for all the fab inspirations and prizes!
I learned that I am not more one style than the other because it all depends on the card’s purpose, who it is being made for, and the amount of time I have to make it.
I learned that I am more inclined to make and appreciate “fun and cute” type cards.
Thanks for the chance to win.
It’s been fun seeing all the different styles this week. Now I’m off to hop and see some more great samples.
I learned that I can’t decide on a favorite style. I love them all. Such great work showcased and what a great contest. Thanks.
I learned that I am not the shabby & vintage style which is what my friend is who introduced me to card making. Now I can stop trying to force myself into that mold and just enjoy the other 3 styles! Thanks for the examples you gave!
It’s really fun visiting everyone’s sites and seeing their different styles. Have had fun viewing everyone’s cards. Off to view some more. Thanks for an opportunity to win a fantastic prize.
Wow!.. i love this blog hop!.. love seeing all the different styles and some of which are RARELY used by me!
What amazing cards!! Thanks for the inspiration!
I just finished the blog hop and loved seeing everyone’s interpretation of their own particular styles. I’ve dabbled in many but seem to return mostly to CAS and Graphic lately! Thanx for the inspiration and blog candy opp!
I’ve learned that my style changes with the recipient of the card some and is also a blend of a couple of styles.
I think I am a mix! I go with my mood, time allotment and try to think about what the recipient would love.
I’d have to say i’m fun and cute!! I love my style!!!
That was fun – so much inspiration. I think I’ve learned that I am somewhat lacking in style…I’m all over the place!
I love all this great stuff – what motivation to make great cards!
Hi! I have found that I tend to be more clean and graphic with a little fun and cute mixed in when I scrapbook or make cards. I realized that my decorating style in my home matches my craft style….hmmm….! Great blogs this week! Thank you!
IT was nice to do the hop and get inspired. I am discovering that my style is clean and simple al though i try to do other styles. Thanks so much.
Wow – what an awesome blog hop!! Love all the inspiration!
WHat fantastic prizes:) Loved all the cards and styles!
I definitely prefer a clean and simple style, just because I don’t have a lot of patience! I like to get a nice card finished quickly!
Had a great time! Found out that (right now) I like soft/muted colors and soft ribbons, and loved the feathers!! Thanks for the fun!
I learned that I have a “Heinz 57″ style “a little bit of everything”. Can’t wait for the magazine.
I totally gravitate toward the classy and elegant style of cards however I do like the vintage look of aging paper. I stick to the same colors and have a hard time doing cute and fun cards…unless they are for my niece and nephew.
I learned that it is time for me to venture out into the big card style world and embrace new styles! Thanks for the gentle push!
Wow so much inspiration and such a variety of styles! Thanks for hosting such a fun hop.
I love the shabby style!!!!
I guess I learned that the papercrafters that I tend to “follow” and scraplift also have a cute and fun style. I never really thought about that before. So not only is my stayle cute and fun but I’m also drawn to those types of cards made by others.
I’ve enjoyed seeing all the cards. Thanks for the fun blog hop and helping me “discover” the style I like.
Thanks too for the great blog candy. It looks like a card maker’s dream. 
what did i learn??? that i really like the simple and elegant style. thanks for the chance to win!
While I love the fun and cute style and I’m really good at the clean and simple, I am really drawn to the shabby chic. I need too work on this and grow more as an artist.
Wow there are so many talented card makers out there.
What I learned is that I need to try a few more to really settle into a style that is my own. I love the Shabby Vintage but most of my cards seem to head toward simple elegant style – I think!
love a lot of different style of card making, it just depends on my mood and the occassion
Its been fun thinking about the designers blogs that I follow most often too and recognizing their preferred styles too. I feel like I can definitely step out and try a few other styles now, there were so many good examples on the blog hop.
I love looking at all of the different styles and seeing how to work with some of my favorite papers and lines! I struggle with card making–so love to browse the blogs and magazines for inspiration!
I learned what my style is — clean and graphic and classy and elegant! and what i wish i could pull off!
Oh, I LOVE what I see! What I’ve come to realize is that I have a lot of fun trying different designs but what I love to create the most is Shabby Vintage. Thanks for all the awesome inspiration!
I am really attracted to linear and well defined cards, the simple and understated kind. I think less is more.
Wow! This hop was full of beauty, inspiration and all out fantastic designs from each blog. I learned that no matter what style you have, just to add a little of yourself to each project you create. It’s what will give it that personal touch.
I think less is more and STICKLES can really make a simple card much more.
Love to hop-love the idea of the cards divided by style! Thanks for the great inspiration (as always)
I have learned that I have more than one set style! Mostly I lean towards fun and cute. I just loved all of the ideas all week long!!!
Very fun! I LOVE all styles, but I think I tend to lean toward classy and elegant or fun and cute.
But I love trying new things. This is probably one of my FAVORITE issues!! 
I learned that when I start with coordinating papers my designing is SO much faster and easier! I really love it!
