Take a peek at our Valentine kit and more...

Happy New Year Friends! ♥

I'm happy to share with you our 2016 Valentine Kit! It's full of some special colors this year, one being grey. I am loving grey as my new favorite neutral color. Seems like it matches everything! I even added a splash of aqua to mix with the reds and pinks. You can see the entire kit, close up photos, kit contents and purchase your kit here in the shoppe. Don't forget to take a peek at the embellie addon...it's pretty cute and includes some stickers, a stamp and an ink pad. :)

There's more tho...we decided to offer up our handmade cards this year for purchase. The fabulous Kristii and I designed with the kit this time and all of our designs are for sale in the shop.

And if that wasn't enough....I put last years kit in the shop ON SALE! I only have a handful left so if you want one now is the time to get it while it's 25% off.

Mini Book Challenge-WCMD

Hi girls - Heather here again :). Is this not the best day ever? - World Card Making Day ROCKS!! I am so inspired I can hardly help myself!

I'm back again with another challenge for ya! This one is to make a mini book! Mini Books can be so fun - you can make mini scrapbooks, mini quote books, the possibilities are seriously endless! If you've never tried - you must! Today I wanted to share a fun idea I saw on Pinterest. Who here knows of the talented Ashley Cannon Newell?!? Is she not SO stinkin talented you don't know WHAT to do with yourself?!? I know. So, she has a FANTASTIC tutorial over on YouTube (which I found on Pinterest) on how to make a mini book/card set. The video itself is just flawless. You know, some videos when you go to create your own version of the project - it just ends up...off...somehow. It doesn't quite come out how the person in the video's project did - technique wise (does this happen to anyone else?!?). Rest assured crafty girls - that will not happen to you with this tutorial. Flawless. Here is my take on this awesome project.

 

Here is a pic of all of the cards in this mini book:

Then here is another that is a bit different.

and then this is the set of cards included with this mini book:

 

On this 2nd mini book, I only used kraft paper to construct it, then just embellished the covers. I thought it would be too "plain" but that's not the case at all! The cards are so fun that they add the fancy it needs :) Cute right? I kept my pages "clean" meaning they are plain (just like Ashley did in her video). That way the cards were the stars of this show :). Each pocket includes one card and a standard A2 envelope. I love the prospect of gifting it to someone as a card set, but encouraging them to use it as a mini "scrapbook" or picture holder afterward. Each pocket can fit about 10 pictures comfortably - which means this is a great gift for peeps with kids in their lives. Give one of these to Grandma and after she's used all of the cards, she can fill it up with pictures and whip this baby out of her purse and show off her grandbabies in the blink of an eye! Girls, I've made 4 of these in the past 5 days! It's THAT kinda easy and they are so much fun. I have big plans for these adorable mini books - I'm thinking Teacher Appreciation Day, friend's birthdays, etc. These are going to make lovely gifts. I can't WAIT to see the minis you all come up with. Won't you play along with me?!? Show us what you made by linking us on our Facebook page and uploading your images in our Flickr gallery.

Fall Colors Challenge-WCMD

Kristen is back with us sharing a card for her 2nd challenge. Create a card using a monocromatic theme. I love this time of year when it's becoming fall and her card does just that! Shows us that fall is upon us. She used some items from the Fall Kit, a few pieces from her stash and a sweet little white doily! Love that!  You can see more about this card and her challenge over on her blog.

And joining her in this challenge is Michelle P. I love this sweet card she created with the embellies along the top.  

Please join in the fun on our FACEBBOOK page and on Flickr!

Happy Creating!

 

Color Challenge-WCMD

Jeni here to bring you the Color Challenge for today. I love how this pink pops right off the page! WOW!!

Share your image in our Flickr gallery and stop on by the Facebook page. Have fun creating!

Mixed Media Challenge-WCMD

Have any of you tried creating a mixed media card? They are so fun! And you can.not.mess.it.up! The only right way is to create it YOUR way. :)

Tiffany is here to share a card she created using some whipped spackle, glitter a stencil for her feather! She even broke out her remaining What a Hoot Kit. {this kit is sold out but you can get some great ideas over in the designer gallery for even more card making!)

And joining her in this challenge is Heather. She took some stamps to her card in different colors, layering them on top of each other slightly. Such a cool technique! I especially love that angel girl stamp! :)

Thanks for joining in this challenge and I hope it gives you a little bit of a jump start into some mixed media. Have fun with it! Join us over on our Facebook page and Flickr gallery.

Create A Card Set Challenge - WCMD

Happy Saturday CC2G friends!

Michele here with your next challenge for WCMD - CREATE A CARD SET. I hope you're enjoying this day of creative making and are stock piling your handmade cards for the season. 

I love creating simple and similar cards to have at the ready to send off to friends and family. Here I created a birthday card set using items from my stash and embellies from the CC2G Kits.

Doilies, I never tire of them:) Patterned paper from American Crafts, sentiment tags are from the July 2013 Isabella kit and ribbon from my stash. 

If you play along be sure to post your card images in our FLICKR gallery and linking to Facebook (and Twitter) and use hashtags #wcmd2014 #cc2g.

Happy Cardmaking

 

Photo on a Card Challenge-WCMD

Hey crafty friends! Heather here, and I am so excited for this challenge!

Do you ever add photos to your cards? I've seen this wonderfully done on Pinterest (ohhh how I adore thee, Pinterest!) and was excited to tackle it myself.

Ok, so sometimes I post random pictures of rainbows, rainy days, the sun bursting through the clouds (does everyone else do this too?) on Instagram. I get so inspired by the sky. Anyway. There is a lovely company (SocialPrintStudio ) that I use to print my Instagram photos (because I also LOVE to scrapbook!!) - you should check them out. The photos are amazing quality. So, the last time I placed an order, I added a bunch of my Insta pictures of the sky, thinking they'd be fun to add to cards - so I was VERY excited about this challenge!! Here are the cards I created:

 

I love how they came out! Hope you guys play along with me and this Photo On a Card Challenge!! I cant wait to see what you create!! Join us on our Facebook page and upload your images to Flickr.

To start off the day, Michelle Phillipi is hosting a challenge with Using a tag on a card. How fun, huh? (I love that she chose something simple and doable in a short amount of time. Afterall....we are trying to make a lot of cards today. :) ) You can head on over to her blog to see more details and the story behind why she created this card. So fun!

And don't forget to upload your image to our FLICKR gallery. We want to see what you created on this day. There's also so fun stuff going on over on the Facebook page. It moves fast so check back often. There may even be a special kit just for the taking over there. #wcmd2014 #cc2g

Shaped Cards Challenge-WCMD

Did Tiff's card give you the jump start you needed?? I sure hope so!!

Next up in Kristen! She is our guest designer this month and has come up with several challenges for you all to participate in. Here is her first one!!

I love that she used some bits from the Fall Kit (only a handful are left)! How clever to add those to this pumpkin card! She made her sweet little pumpkin out of oval circles. What could be easier??

One Layer Cards/Projects - WCMD PreParty Challenge

We're celebrating World Card Making Day early with a pre-party challenge! We are so excited to be joining with thousands of people who celebrate this day of card making.

Our first challenge is hosted by design team member Tiffany.

Create a one layer card or project:

Tiff used the rub-ons from our Be Merry Christmas Kit last year (there are only a few available) and some Metallic PITT pens to color in little details here and there. The embellies are from the Summer 2014 kit.

Playing along with Tiff is design team member Elizabeth. I love that she focused on stamping and coloring. Simple, elegant and timeless.

Make sure you like us on Facebook and any challenges that you do, post your card image over in our CC2G Flickr gallery with the title of the challenge. And use hashtag #wcmd2014 #cc2g with your posts.

Happy Cardmaking Friends!

We're Celebrating World Card Making Day!

We're celebrating cardmaking and all cardmakers this weekend and I can't think of a better way to jump start our creative juices than with a quick peek from DT member Heather.

She created this spectacular card mini-book and I for one can't wait to see the whole thing.

Our party is starting early and we're working behind the scenes to make this a spectacular event. Challenges, prizes and specialty items...oh my! The design team has been busy working on some new cards to showcase.

So break out all of your card supplies,  clean off your desk, grab some snacks and be sure to join us for the pre-party Friday night. Then get ready for the big party on Saturday!

Happy Cardmaking!

Meet Our Guest Designer

Give a warm welcome to our "Abundance" kit 

Guest Designer Kristen Swain

1. Tell us a little about yourself. I'm Kristen Swain, I've been scrapbooking for over 17 years now. I have always been crafty and loved the idea of incorporating crafting into paper crafts. I worked on and off for the last 16 years for various companies and was published hundreds of times.  About a year ago I decided that I needed to work for myself, so I created a website with my friend and partner Tammy. Now I create crafts of all sorts, including recipes and have such a wonderful time doing it.

2. Where do you find your inspiration? I find inspiration in colors, in patterns and sometimes in print ads. 

3. What is your favorite dessert? My favorite dessert is cake, I love that it can be made in a lot of varieties but, be so good!

4. If  you could do anything without consequences, what would it be? That's a big one! Whoa! I guess it would be something along the lines of end world hunger, get rid of the despots who take donations from wealthier countries and keep it for themselves, instead of passing those supplies on to the needy. 

5. Three words that best describe your personality. Sarcastic, loyal and introvert

Check out Kristen's contributions with this month's kit.

Thank you Kristen for your amazingly beautiful designs. Be sure to visit Kristen at Creative Me Inspired You for additional inspiration.

Our next peek comes from DT member Jeni. Those enamel dots are one of my favorite embellies in the kit. And speaking of embellies, this kit is packed full with all kinds of good stuff. 

Just a reminder that kits will go on sale on Tuesday, July 1st at 6:00pm (pst). See you back here!

Summer Kit Sneak Peek #5

Hello Saturday! 

We are literally one day away from the big reveal, so I thought it would be awesome to share not one but two sneaks from DT member Lindsay. Her designs are something special. Serious eye candy!!

Come back tomorrow for the last day of peeks! And be sure to be here on July 1st for kit sales and the gallery reveal. 

Have a great weekend!

Summer Sneak Peek #4

Woohoo...it's the weekend! I'm so ready for a few days of relaxation and more time to play with this amazing summer kit. We only have two more days of peeks left and then 'the big reveal.' I can't wait for you all to see the kit in its entirety. 

Our next peek comes from our lovely designer Elizabeth. I just love this trio of flowers!

Our designers have really out done themselves. Come back for more eye candy tomorrow!

Happy Creating!

Summer Sneak Peek #3

We are getting close to reveal and there is nothing more that I look forward to than seeing all of the designers new creations. I get so much inspiration from each one of them. 

Here is a quick peek from me (Michele). I am in love with dimension and these adorable arrows. I knew I wanted it to take center stage on one of my cards. 

Each of these sneaks so far has me wanting to create more. The kit is so packed that you could easily make 10+ cards. Don't forget to come back here on July 1st and grab your kit. But before that, come back tomorrow for more sneaks from the DT. 

Have an awesome Wednesday!

Summer Kit Sneak Peek #2

Happy Tuesday!

We're back but before I get to our next sneak peek, I wanted to give a tremendous shout out to our very own Sonda Tadlock. She is the amazing person behind CC2G and the person that puts all of these wonderful kits together. A huge congratulations to Sonda for making the SRM Design Team. We couldn't be more happy for you! For those of you that have received past kits, we've had some amazing opportunities to use some of the SRM products. I'm so looking forward to seeing what Sonda and the rest of the team create:)

Ok...on to our next sneak peek, which comes from DT Member Heather. Here she is showcasing a little bit of the gold that's debuting in the kit. Eek...I'm just itching to play with this kit some more.

See you back here tomorrow! 

Summer Kit Sneak Peek #1

We are welcoming the official season of Summer with an upcoming kit on sale on July 1st. 

Are you crazy about gold?! I know we are. This kit is filled with all kinds of delicious embellies, summer colors and of course, a little bit of GOLD goodness. 

Our first peek comes from DT member Lindsay. I'm lovin' the ombre design and the bling. Wait until you see the full reveal. So much inspiration.

We'll have more peeks coming to you all week. So be sure to make it back here tomorrow.

Have an awesome week CC2G friends!

Devoted kit - Sketch Challenge

Happy Sunday CC2G Friends! Michele here and it's sketch challenge time. This month's sketch is brought to you by our lovely DT member Tiffany. I love the whimsical feel to this sketch...the heart flowers, the butterflies and faded sentiment. So many possibilities. 

Check out what a few of the design team members created!

I love how Tiffany interpreted the heart flowers on the sketch and used the adorable felt birds in their place. 

 

Lindsay took the sketch literally and created a stunning and simple card. Her use of dimension on one of the flowers is wonderfully clever.

 

Kristii created a lovely vintage greeting card. I love how she recreated and layered of the flowers to match the background of the patterned paper. 

 

There are more awesome designs from the DT. Check them out here and get inspired.

We want to see you create a card based on the May sketch. Be sure to link us up in the comments section, Flickr or our Facebook fan page.

p.s If you're still looking to purchase a kit, there are only a few available. Pick one up before they're all gone.

Happy Cardmaking!

May 2014 Kit

Good Evening Cardmaking Friends! It's time to reveal our May Kit! I am really excited to tell you all about the fun stuff we have coming up with this kit! So let's get started!!......

Devoted is just that! Devoted to all of our Mom's (and friends). And just because this kit has a "mother's day" theme, doesn't mean you can't use it for anytime of the year, including birthdays, thank yous, love you, or just because. The awesome sticker sentiments by SRM Stickers are perfect!

Take a look at what our amazing designers have come up with for this kit! Lots of birdies to tweet tweet tweet your creative time away. :) Our guest designer is Karen Zabuska!! She was the winner of our challenge last spring using the trade cards and March 2013 Kit. Remember that?? Congratulations Karen!! :) She has generously supported CupCards to go and we are so happy to have her work in our gallery this month. Take a look at what she and the other designers created in the May Designer Gallery. Our SMT has a very fun challenge coming up for the month of May, too, so make sure to participate in that. One random person will win a Maya Road Birdie mini album that coordinates with the May Kit! Woooohoooooooo!!! Need additional inspiration? Look no further than our awesome sketch gallery. Design Team Member, Tiffany, has graciously helped us out by providing our sketch this month! Those flowers make me want to go plant a garden! Aren't they cute??? ;)

Okay, okay....now on to the kit! :) As always, embellie addon kits ship FREE with your paid kit. :)
Have a great day!

May Kit - Sneak Peek

Hiya CC2G Friends! 

This is a super quick post to tell you that the May kit will be going up for sale on Monday, April 28th at 6:00pm (pst). 

We'll have more peeks coming soon! 

Stay Tuned!

Blossom kit - Saturday Sketch

Happy Saturday CC2G Friends! 

It's time to pull out the Blossom kit or dig into your stash for the Saturday sketch. I love how each of the designers interpreted the sketch. Check it out!

 

Cherry's card just screams "Hello Spring", literally. I love how she angled her card title and she is simply the master at beautifully tied ribbons.

Jeni has such a simple and lovely style that I gravitate towards. And I'm totally in love with those little bee stickers.

Michele's card is full of layering goodness. Her card is also simple with an added flair of feminity. 

Lindsay's take on the sketch is amazing. Her use of the ombre pink stripes, pink dots and simple greeting makes this one of my favorite cards from her gallery. She blows me away each month.

Kristii's use of the three pink flower stickers in a triangle brings your eye directly to her greeting. I love all of the white space on her design.

Heather's take on the sketch is so whimsical, it would brighten anyone's day. My favorite element is the stapled twine. I'm going to have to remember to do that next time. 

Tiffany's card is adorable. You surely do not need a lot of product to create amazing cards. I love how she chose to use the black/white greeting tag and to make her flower pop, she added a little black flower element in the middle. Your eyes immediately gravitate to those two spots. 

Now...it's your turn.

We want to see you create a card based on the sketch. Be sure to link us up in the comments section, Flickr or our Facebook fan page. 

Happy Cardmaking!
