Welcome to Freebie Friday and our final day of Card Creations 9 Week! We hope you’ve enjoyed this sneak peek of our latest special issue, Card Creations, Volume 9 and have been inspired to create your own card masterpieces.
Today we’re hosting a fun blog hop featuring nine of the most-published designers in Card Creations, Vol. 9!
This time around I challenged our nine designers to create a never-seen-before card inspired by the cover of Card Creations, Vol. 9. From the color combination to the cover cards themselves (trends, styles or products used), I can’t wait to see how each designer interpreted this cool cover:

I tend to lean towards Shabby and Vintage with lots of lace, buttons and bling. Sometimes I need Clean and Simple (especially for boys and men cards) and that’s when I look to KIM HUGHES and TERI ANDERSON. They will always be my go to gals for ideas and inspiration.
I couldn’t wait, I just had to have Vol 9. As always, packed full of inspiration and definitely an enabler. Keeping my fingers crossed for the Create Paper collections.

What a great prize! Thanks for the chance to win!
i am inspired by the kraft and white colors like what julia stainton did. thank you for hosting a wonderful hop.
Fantastic prize! Thanks for a chance to win!
I loved how Teri added glitter to the edge of her card. It frames her papers perfectly.
I love the cards I saw
What struck me was how textures can really make a card ‘pop’ out. Even the ‘flat’ cards had details about them that shone, like Windy’s butterfly 
I really liked the simplicity of the owl card and the thought of drawing a line for it to perch on. All had amazing cards!
Love to have a copy of this issue. Thanks for a chance to win!
Love the card ideas and I LOVE blog hops! Thanks very much!

I just loved all the colours and the way colour, or the lack of, was used.
I love the textures in these cards. Thanks for the chance to win!
These ladies are all an inspiration…the designs were amazing! I’ll be adding glitter tape to my upcoming creations along with layering my next flower with tulle! Very enjoyable hop!
I was inspired by the heart cut-out with the word layered over the top of it. All the cards were great!
I particularly enjoyed Chan’s cat card and Windy’s butterfly card. I like simple ideas, and I’m a less is more kind of gal.
Just finished the blog hop – thanks so much for sharing!
I have just started in the paper crafts world and I loved being able to get a look at some great – well crafted cards.
No one has contacted me yet for winning Teri’s post….I’m hoping someone will get this so I can get my prize!
