Whimsy World Card Making Day Hop

Happy World Card Making Day 2013!

World Card Making Day is a holiday especially for card makers around the world to ... celebrate the creativity of handmade cards and the personal connection that they create between friends and family, AND to kick off (and get a head start on) the holiday card-making season! Today, Whimsy Stamps is celebrating World Card Making Day 2013 with our very own BLOG HOP

I decided to make a card for my Daughter's violin teacher.  There are music exams coming up and she has been helping her so much with her studies that I wanted to make a special card to say "Thanks for everything".





I used Jo Davies' gorgeous Bookish girl again.  I love her and thought she would work well if I also added a few musical touches to the card.  I used the new sentiment set Holiday Sliders 3 as a pretty backdrop for the sentiment from Treasured Moments Tickets too. I embossed it with white embossing powder and cut it out with the slider 3 die and then cut the other sentiment out and stuck it on top.  Sliding this partly behind the main image makes it into a nice "file tab" kind of shape which I like.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Bookish,  Holiday Sliders 3, Treasured Moments Tickets
Card : x-press it, olive, limeaid, blushing bride, subtles core'dinations
Ink : memento black
Other : big shot, slider 3 die, music notes (MFT), pretty posies (MFT), pearls, pearl brad, crystal effects, copics, white ep, music ef (spellbinders)


The hop starts today at 9.00AM (EST) and ends on Monday 7th October 2013 at 12.00PM (EST). We've hidden a fantastic rubber stamp prize pack somewhere along the hop, so be sure to complete the hop and leave comments on all the DT's hop posts to enter! We will announce the lucky winner on the Whimsy blog on Monday, once the hop has ended.
But that's not all! Once you've finished the hop and entered the prize draw, hop on over to the Whimsy Stamps store where you will find some free digital stamps that have been posted in celebration of WCMD! Be quick to grab them, as they will only be available for a very short time! Finally, we will be posting another announcement on the Whimsy blog on Monday, which could save you a few pennies, so be sure to check it out! Okay, so now it's time for you to hop! Your next stop is Jodi's Blog.

 Finally, here is a full hop list in hopping order:
Thanks so much for stopping by today and happy hopping!
