Saturday Share: Saving and Storing Handmade Cards {Giveaway}

Thank you so much for celebrating World Card Making Week with us. We hope you were inspired and that you enjoyed playing along. 


We’re excited to be celebrating another edition of Saturday Share. We can’t wait to see your fun photo pocket style page scrapbooking. 

Since we’ve been talking so much about handmade cards, we thought we’d share a little bit on saving and storing all of the cards you’re likely collecting. 

If you’re like most people who save precious cards, you’ve probably got them tucked away in a box. These memories deserve a more prominent spot and should be featured along with other memories. 

The great news is that you can easily incorporate the cards into your photo pocket page scrapbooking without chopping them up, bending them or otherwise damaging them, by simply placing them in a Project Life envelope. 

Giveaway

We want you to be able to save your cards safely, so we’re giving away a set of Project Life envelopes – one of each size. 

To enter, please follow the directions in the Rafflecopter widget below.

Now it’s time for you to share your latest and greatest scrapbooking or memory keeping posts.

Happy Thursday! We’re nearing the end of our handmade card week. It’s been fun sharing all of the great cards our design team has created, as well of some of your own creations over on Facebook. 


While we’re chatting about this week’s happenings, it’s probably a good time to remind you that tomorrow’s the last day to enter to win our cardmaker’s gift pack. 

Today resident cardmaking expert, Kathy Martin, is sharing a couple of fun handmade cards using two of our newer collections – From Me to You and Thirty-One. 

From Me to You

Feeling under the weather can make a person quite blue, so sending get well cards that lift the spirits and put a smile on one’s face is important.

I love that the new From Me to You collection with all the colorful patterns and adorable accents for uplifting get well greetings.

Mixing and matching patterned papers can be tricky because you don’t want them to blend together too much. Creating distinction between patterns can be achieved by using contrasting colors as I did in my October 31 card.


You can also use a dark colored card stock to separate patterns like I did on the Fell Better Soon design.

Handmade Everyday Card {From Me to You}

Up today, we’re sharing a fun card from Design Team Member Laurel Seabrook. Laurel’s handmade everyday card featuring the From Me to You collection would be great for pretty nearly any occasion.

I was glad to finally break into my From Me to You collection as I just love the soft pretty color combination and am such a sucker for anything ‘officey’ themed.  

I gravitated towards the letter themed chipboard and then built a just because card around the theme of it.  

Lately I am also loving the mix of gray and use it on many of my projects.

Handmade Thank You Card {From Me to You}

There’s nothing more special than a thoughtful handwritten thank you card…It goes along way in our mostly electronic world. 

Today Design Team Member Becky Williams is sharing a handmade thank you card in celebration of World Card Making Week. 

There aren’t many things sweeter than a handmade card or gift from a friend. I created this card to have on hand to share with a friend or loved one for a special occasion or even just to tell someone how much they are appreciated.

I used lots of layers on this card starting with the card base, then a library pocket and frame and then topped it off with a die-cut butterfly. The gold trim was just the right accent to finish with.

I allowed both the butterfly and paper strips to fall off the edge of the card for added visual interest.
