Hi friends,
As a card maker, there are a few things that get the ol’ heart a beatin’—new stamps, the perfect color combination, chocolate (to help the creative juices flow), and a book full of beautiful and inspiring cards. Well this week, Card Creations, Vol. 11 goes on sale, and my heart is pounding with excitement at the incredible creations! Let me give you an idea of what you will find in this must-have volume.
This card combines a hip hexagon design with a rainbow palette of country-fresh designs.
Life is Sweet Card by Kalyn Kepner on p. 9
Then there’s Wonderful Wishes that incorporates texture from cork using a beautiful lattice design for the layered background.
Wonderful Wishes Card by Kimberly Crawford on p. 36
This one speaks to the kid in me. The Drawn to You card uses a favorite toy (an Etch-a-Sketch) to spell out the sentiment. The great thing about this card, you can use it for any occasion by simply changing the text on the Etch-a-Sketch.
Drawn to You Card by Emily Branch on p. 82
The Bold Thank You card is simple and perfect for using your stash of scraps. Even if you don’t have the die, a paper trimmer makes quick work when cutting rectangles.

Okay my friends, that’s a quick look at just four of the 200 plus cards you’ll find in Card Creations, Vol. 11. But we aren’t through. Come back to the blog every day this week to see more reasons you’re going to love this magazine.
Have a great day and have fun creating!

Gorgous cards! My favourites are the first one with the graphic design and gradient colours, and the bold Thank you card.

Love the hexagon card and the etch a sketch is cute! I guess I better get that issue if I want to know what paper that is!

These are great! Can’t wait to see more.
What a great collection of cards to start off the week! I’m glad that hexagons are still around. I love all things graphic. The Etch-a-Sketch brings back lots of memories. I’m always on the lookout for ways to use up scraps. Thanks for giving me another card to CASE.
