For example, check out this Brighter Days Card by Vera Wirianta Yates on page 87:
Isn't this about the cutest card you've ever seen?
Or, you could say “hello” to a friend in some serious style with this card by Windy Robinson found on page 85.
Doesn't the "bonjour" greeting fit the style of this card perfectly?
I love the punny way this card by Heather Campbell found on page 81 checks up on a friend:
This card is trendy and supah fun!
This “friendly” card by Laura Williams gets right to the heart of the matter:
This beauty can be found on page 15.
And last but certainly not least, this moxie fab card by Betsy Veldman would light up any girl friend’s day:

Vera’s card is just perfect!
Heathers card is perfect for one of my friends, an electrician LOL thanks for the inspiration.
Perfect holiday! I love the blingy card by Windy. I would love to try making a sophisticated card! Thanks for sharing.

“You make days brighter and life sweeter” conveys perfectly what one of my friends does for me. Card heading her way on the weekend! Thank you for the inspiration! Every week should have a ‘send a card’ to ‘someone’ day…wouldn’t that bring happiness to people’s lives?? I may have to do that…
sadly what has inspired me is the postal service announcement to cut saturday service! As a cardmaker, i love snail mail so i need to send more cards to support the postal service!
Really inspired by the bird banner, so bright and sweet- love it, and a great way to use up a few scraps. Thanks for the chance!
LOVE Heather’s wattage! The patterned paper bulbs are so FUN, and the book page background is just perfect.
All great cards. Laura’s Thanks for being a great friend was my inspiration for my card to a dear friend who loaned me some glitter accessories for my sons destination wedding.
Read about this special day on twitter yesterday so made 2 cards for 2 very dear friends:

I love the CAS style and cuteness of Windy’s cards. Those birds on the line banner are wonderful and I love the white space and the use of colour.
Love the cute birds and banner on the HELLO card!
Vera’s card is perfect for me to send to a friend. I don’t have all the same stamps she used, but I have some birds, some banners and some twine, I can create something similar!
I love the brighter and sweeter card – I would do red birds for my mom and dad who love cardinals! thanks!
Cute cards, I like the Watt’s Up!
Carla from Utah
Each card inspires me. So it’s a card making am for me!
Cute cards! Love them all! Off to make some cards to send! Thanks for the chance to win!
The ‘watt’s up’ card is so cute
It also reminded me I need to go get a new light bulb for my lamp… thanks!
All of these cards are fabulous, but really loving Heather’s Watt’s Up card! Punny cards are the best! Thanks for the chance to win!
The card by Betsy Veldman made would be perffect for a friend of mine who loves plaids.
My girlfriend having her 4th baby inspired me today! Yes, I made a card & sent it to congratulate her!
Great cards
All the cards are nice, what inspires me is to put a smile on the face of a loved one when they receive my card.
Vera’s card is just about the cutest thing I have ever seen…of course you had me with a banner and the birdies..2 of my favorite things!!
this blog post has inspired me to make a card for a friend
I love the bird card! I just made a Birthday card for my mother-in-law and we just celebrated 2 birthdays also so I am in a birthday mood!
The card “You make my days brighter and life Sweeter” gives me inspiration. For one idea, it gives me inspiration to use twine in different ways and also to just send more cards to brighten up a friends day. Love it!
I love the “what’s up” card, makes me want to do something similar for friends that I haven’t spoken to in a while
OHH! I should really send some cards out to friends/family! Happy Send a Card to a Friend day!!!
I’m inspired by the color combos for each of these cards! And I esp. love that first card–that banner with the birdies is too cute:) THANKS for the chance to win:) sbmmhoover at yahoo dot com
I love the plaid on Betsy background – I want to make some cards w/ plaid! thanks!
I’m always inspired by fun color combos. With too-much-not-white/black-paper on my hands, I keep having to look for strange color combos that still work!
I Love Betsy’s “Just Because” card! The white flowers are just too pretty!!
I love Laura Williams card! The colors are great, it is a simple yet strong design and I like the paper combination. Hey, that is 3 ways I love the card! But there are really more than three ways. I love the flowers she created. Very fun!
