World Card Making Day!
 
Hey Hey Sweet Shoppers! Today (10/2) is World Card Making Day and to celebrate, Julie is giving away this fantastic card template as a freebie!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...iedupcard-.jpg

I have 2 samples that I made, but after being unexpectedly without internet I don't have the photos ready to show you all. I promise I'll get them up tomorrow morning! :)

Now to make this a little bit more fun, we're going to have a hybrid card contest! I want to see some gorgeous new hybrid cards that you whip up between now and sunday night at midnight (EST). One random winner will be chosen to win a $10 coupon to Julie's store! You don't have to use the template to be entered into the drawing, but you do have to share a new card that's never been in the galleries before. Just post here in the thread with an image and a link to the gallery page so we can all leave each other some lovin'! :)

Have fun with this, I can't wait to see what you all whip up!

ETA: Here are the 2 cards I made with this awesome template from Julie! A boy card and a girl card using Meg's new Cute as a Button Boy/Girl kits!

ETA: Congrats to Helen Vader who was our random winner for this challenge! I'll be PMing you with your coupon code. :)
Thanks so much to everyone that played along!

Thanks, Julie and Colleen! I love the style of this instead of the plain folded cards I usually make. Perfect timing, too, since next weekend is my sister's wedding and DS's birthday.

Lizzy257 10-02-2010 04:49 AM

This is gorgeous, thanks girls!

livelys 10-02-2010 04:51 AM

I've made this with Julie's fab template - all tied up with twine for a more rustic look :)

adrianka 10-02-2010 05:32 AM

Oooooh, I was totally waiting for a template like this. Thanks!

pkstew2 10-02-2010 10:01 AM

How fun. What a great template - thanks, can't wait to play!

fruitysuet 10-02-2010 10:03 AM

This is fabulous! Sara I love your example too, so fun.

Many thanks, can't wait to play :)

ColleenSwerb 10-02-2010 12:17 PM

I added my super cute cards to the OP! I can't wait to see what everyone makes with this!

Amber1279 10-02-2010 12:59 PM

I love it! thanks Julie :)

carriesmom 10-02-2010 04:06 PM

I love this template! I already made 2 cards with it! Here is one using one of Meg's new kits:

adrianka 10-02-2010 04:58 PM

I'm loving this template as well! So far I've made 4 cards, will post as soon as I make some photo documentation. :-)

Thanks, Julie and Col!

Sharon Kay 10-02-2010 05:06 PM

Can we include one we made on October 1st? I had to get a card in the mail real quick for my mom's birthday (although belated)....I loved this sterling silver charm ... it's a family charm (one heart for each child in the family) and bought it to send to my mom.

Thank you for the template! I will try it out ... hopefully by your deadline ... we're literally on the road at this moment (of typing) towards home ... so will be in this evening ... and then off to the Kansas Speedway Sunday morning for the NASCAR race (which I have to unload/rename/organize literally hundreds of pictures off the memory card first) ...

hollyxann 10-02-2010 05:10 PM

great template!

Andrea Gourley 10-02-2010 06:08 PM

Love all the examples - can't wait to see some more :) Sara is that my font you used on your example? That was really spooky as I'm scrolling down and suddenly see 'my' writing :p

Julie Billingsley 10-02-2010 06:12 PM

I'm glad you all are liking the template! What you see is the first ever card that I made, so I promise it is SUPER EASY! And all you need is a kit, one piece of photo paper or cardstock, a printer, and a little piece of ribbon. Easy peasy! Or be awesome like Col and don't even use ribbon! Those are great cards, Col!

Great work on all the cards! :)

Someone will win a $10 coupon to my store! :)

pkstew2 10-02-2010 07:48 PM

Couldn't resist getting this actually made on WCMD :thumbup:.

So fun and easy! Thanks for the template and inspiration.

Joana1n 10-02-2010 08:06 PM

I have a card coming after bedtime tonight. I didn't use the template for this one, but I KNOW it'll get some use in the very near future!

Oh have fun! So jealous!

Thanks for the template! I"m off to go make something with it!

tettletop20 10-02-2010 10:25 PM

Here's mine! I was so very excited to see this as I wanted to at least make one card on World Card Making Day. Now I can say I did! Woot!

Certainly was! Sorry to freak you ;)

Milmomma 10-03-2010 08:43 AM

i can't seem to get the templet to download, I keep getting an error. i've been trying for hours :(

rach3975 10-03-2010 10:48 AM

I'm going to be using this template a lot (and stealing Colleen's idea to use shapes across the join)! Thanks.

Thanks for the inspiration, I got a bunch of cards made this weekend :D

LoriJ 10-03-2010 04:55 PM

what a great template! I am bummed I didn't see this challenge earlier as I am totally out of ink and it is too late to get something printed at staples tonight! Can't wait to use the template though and I think it will work great for the portfolio challenge this month!

heathergw 10-03-2010 05:01 PM

OHHHHH! I'm needing to make some thank you cards after our trip to Nashville... hoping I can get one done tonight for the challenge :)

Inkspots 10-03-2010 06:07 PM

too cute! Thanks, I'd been wondering where the template was to those gorgeous cards. :thumbup:

rach3975 10-03-2010 07:29 PM

One more from me. I have to print 20+ of these to mail tomorrow, so no fun template with flaps that need to be cut out for this one.

https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com...e_rach3975.jpg

ColleenSwerb 10-03-2010 08:15 PM

Oh my goodness, such beautiful cards in this thread! I LOVE all the different ways the template was used too!

You've got 4 more hours to get your card posted and linked in this thread for the chance to win a $10 coupon to Julie's store!

profiler_mar 10-03-2010 09:06 PM

This template is gorgeous! Thanks so much Julie!

nonnie 10-03-2010 09:11 PM

Such a great challenge. I'll use the template at some point, but the children weren't exactly cooperative today, so I went, semi-simple. ;)

tettletop20 10-03-2010 11:46 PM

I made another one tonight:
