WCMD Celebration, Contests and Sales

 
In honor of Paper Crafts' World Card Making Day today, there are sales, contests, celebrations all over the Internet.  Today is a major holiday in the lives of millions of card makers all over the world!   The first thing I did to celebrate---was to sleep in until 9 a.m. This day already rocks :)

I have a few cards to share and a few specials to mention--because no holiday is complete without the awesome sales :)

My first card features stickers from SRM stickers.  I used We've Got Your Border-Birthday to create the balloon designs and then punched out the circles.  I also used more borders and border remnants to frame the image.  Finally, I added the sentiment sticker along the bottom.

I used some Lemondrop baker's twine from The Twinery to make the fun balloon strings:
 Here is a fun SRM Stickers Challenge for YOU--- 
CHALLENGE
Head on over to the SRM Stickers blog.  You can choose any one of the cards on the post today (including my card above) as  inspiration to create a *new* card using SRM Stickers. Upload it into the SRM Gallery with the tag, "srmwcmd2012" and we'll choose a lucky winner to receive a HUGE SRM Prize Package that includes;
ALL Border Sticker Sets
ALL Fancy Sticker Sets
---and---
Be sure to mention which border card inspired you.  We'll hook you up with stickers to create cards for months to come. Upload your challenge entry into our Gallery by the end of the weekend and we'll announce a winner on Tuesday. Good luck - we can't wait to see what YOU do with this challenge!

Next, I have a Halloween card using a new set from Gina K Designs called Wicked!.  I love the fun silhouette images in this set.  I stamped the background with stars and then stamped a label design underneath the die cut label.  That label stamp is from Seasonal Labels:
 

In honor of Wold Card Making Day this weekend, Gina K is running a special on Saturday and Sunday: select one of the four free stamp sets above FREE with any purchase of $35 or more in the Gina K Designs store!  Best bang for your buck:  buy three stamp sets and get the Free with Three set plus one of these four sets PLUS free shipping, that is almost $40 worth of stamps for free plus free shipping to you on all the fun stuff you order!

The sets she has chosen are perfect for the fall and winter holidays coming up! There is no limit to how many free sets you can pick up, but each order of S35 or more must be placed separately to qualify for one of these 4 sets.
