Let me help you with the diagnosis...symptoms include:
1) Messy craftroom due to excessive cardmaking
2) Minor papercut injuries
3) Intense anxiety about running low on white cardstock or adhesive.
Not sure about you - but I've definitely got it. And it just so happens that this time last year, I also had World Cardmaking Day Fever which turned into an awesomely exciting win in the Paper Crafts Magazine WCMD contest!
Today, I'm hanging out with the other WCMD winners to share a couple of cards that might just help rev your mojo!
If you've reached this post via Trinh Arrieta's blog - then you, my dear are an awesome rule abiding blog hopper. If you've come here from somewhere else - then, I just don't know what to say about that! You get 10 minutes in the no-crafting zone - and it's boring over there.
First, I just had to take this chance to share my winning design from last year's WMCD contest...it's one of my all time faves. Probably because it took about eleventeen million hours to complete!
Since my winning card was in the Thank You category, I'm gonna share another Thank You card.
This card is one that I created for an Ella Publishing article - but never got the chance to share it here on the blog. If you'd like you can check out the article HERE for even more Thank You card inspiration.
Now - before I go, I do have another card for you....one that I created for publication but it was rejected - GASP!! The Nerve!!
I must warn you, it's not a Thank You card, but it is a card that falls into one of the WCMD contest categories - Season's Greetings/Holiday. I really love this design because I created each pattern with stamps rather than patterned paper. Take a look-see and lemme know what you think!
And with that - it's time for you to head on over to your next stop on the hop...
Thanks for stopping by today - and don't forget to head over to the Paper Crafts Magazine Blog when you're all done for the chance to win an awesome prize package!
Stunning cards!
ReplyDeleteI love your card, there are simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! Your last one looks great with the stamped images/circles. I thought they were patterned paper, until I read that you used stamps.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards- and your wreath should have been published- it's fab!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it took eleventeen million hours to complete, too. Well worth the win! Does it make me sound ungrateful to say I dont think I've EVER made a thank you card?
ReplyDeleteWow! Simply amazing! Love them all. The wreath is delightful, and lovely muted colors! Bev
ReplyDeleteLove them all!
ReplyDeleteLOVE ALL THREE of your cards!!!!!! :) THEY'RE FABULOUS!!!!! :) (Don't feel bad, it takes me FOREVER to make my cards too!) :)
ReplyDeleteThat thank you card is so awesome, Amber! And your holiday card is very lovely. :)
ReplyDeletereally they turned THAT card down??? I agree....the nerve!!!! :) I think it is simply adorable...I may do some of the Christmas tags or notecards like that...I think its super cute!
ReplyDeleteLove your cards but I especially like that you gave us the symptons on card making day. I wondered why my craft room looked like a tornado went through it.
ReplyDeleteI think all your cards are prize and publishing woorthy. The wreath card was actually my fave!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Amber! I can't believe the last one wasn't chosen for publication-- it's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your cards. Such a sweet and simple style! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThese are great cards. The window thank you is really cool. I want to try it with pattern paper behind it. Your wreath is very warm and inviting.
ReplyDeleteFun card!

Love that thank you card...it reminds me of the fun slider puzzles I used to do as a kid. Great color choices, and a super fun design!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards, Amber - I too think it was rather "remiss" of them rejecting that super wreath card :)
ReplyDeleteLove your cards. Great thank yous.
ReplyDeleteAll of these are fabulous. Thank You for saring!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards! I especially love the second Thank You card.
ReplyDeleteAll of your cards look great! That winning card was genius and so creative!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE your card that won last year PLUS both of the cards that you shared THIS year. Thanks for the inspiration. :D
ReplyDeleteGreat cards and I like your wreath of homespun circles.
ReplyDeletewonderful cards, cannt believe the nerve of rejecting the homespun wreath card, I love it. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAll 3 of these are fabulous cards. I can see the amount of work that went into that 1st one, but my guess is probably very inaccurate and way below what it really took. I really like the warm feeling of the wreath card. What a great way to use up some precious scraps, too. Nice work, all the way around, Amber.
ReplyDeleteHow dare they not choose your card. Very cute and pretty colors! My mom is the master of turning little scraps into something amazing so I am impressed with you as well!
ReplyDeleteOH My! I love the variety of your 3 cards!
ReplyDeleteLove your cards. Clean and crisp.NICE!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love that thank you card!!! What a versatile design! The Homespun holiday wishes card is wonderful too. This was definitely a great stop on the way to inspiration for tomorrow! Thanks, Amber!
ReplyDeleteI love both of your thank you cards, and the wreath card is lovely!

ReplyDeleteYour WCMD winner "thank you" card is terrific! The Ella card is super cute...love the cut out letters, backed w/color. The Homespun wreath card is waaaay cute! It has a homey, vintage, warm "feeling" about it. Hope you have a great WCMD today! I wish you no paper cuts, too much white carstock and plenty of adhesive. Hee! :)
