Welcome to Freebie Friday! As summer slowly inches closer to us, I’m taking great delight in the longer days. More time to walk the dog, chat with friends and read my favorite magazines. Luckily my favorite special issue from Paper Crafts just hit the newsstands. And lucky for you, we’re just days away from our exciting Card Creations 9 Week!
Beginning Monday, we’ll be spotlighting our latest publication, Card Creations, Volume 9. As our most popular special issue, Card Creations continues to be a Paper Crafts magazine best-seller! This issue promises to wow even the most advanced card maker, while offering 164 pages of plenty of designs and techniques that beginners will love too.
Once again we’re partnering with trends editor Cath Edvalson and the Moxie Fab World blog. Between the two sites, we’ll be spotlighting some great cards and giving away copies of this issue.
Click on the cover image to order your copy today!
To begin the countdown, I thought I would spotlight three of my favorite cards from Card Occasions, Vol. 9. Although all three are very different in style, they all have one common denominator. Can you guess what it is? Look closely…
Betsy Veldman's Just a Note Card, p. 15
Teri Anderson's Brave Dad Card, p. 63
Carly Robertson's Floral Hello Card, p. 86
Have you guessed the common denominator? From the background papers in Betsy and Carly’s cards to the fun alphabet stickers in Teri’s card, all feature Studio Calico’s Anthology collection! Who’d like to win some of this versatile product? Leave a comment and I’ll pick two lucky winners to take home some Anthology goodies, PLUS a copy of Card Creations, Vol. 9. All comments must be received by midnight (MDT) on Sunday, May 15.
Two lucky winners will take home this fun prize package!
Happy Friday!
Kelly
