Card Of The Week – A Cheerful Friendship Card
Some days, we don’t have the time to play in our craft rooms and pull out every stamp, tool, and embellishment we own.
Some days, our biggest priority isn’t to spotlight the latest and greatest crafting techniques that we’ve learned.
Some days, we simply want to create a thoughtful and pretty card.
We want to make a card that’s quick and easy to pull together yet aesthetically pleasing – a card that will bring a smile to the person we send it too.
Today’s card is created in the spirit of sweet simplicity. It’s a card designed to send good cheer to a friend.
It’s a card filled with bold, bright vibrant colors – simple elements (card stock and die cuts) – and a wonderful sentiment.
It’s a card that’s so simply designed and crafted, a child can make it.
Today’s card is simple in design, but every time I see it, it makes me smile.
I hope it brings a smile to your face too!

Such a sweet card, have always loved the work of that designer….ashamed to say I can only remember his first name!

For the life of me, Julia, I was trying to remember the designer, but the set is so old, I just couldn’t bring his/her name to mind!
I believe these pieces are from the first scrapbooking kit I ever purchased off of QVC – I believe because I fell in love with the box!
Hmmm… was it Colorbok?
I’m sure someone out there will remember!
Absolutely love your card. Fab pics. Take care Zo xx 36

Thanks Karren and you are SO right about Magellan – he is always ready to lend a “helpful” paw to any project at hand!
I love all cards. I should own a card shop as I have spent enough to do so. I am not creative, but am selective in my purchases.

My love of cards started by spending many hours pouring over cards in the Hallmark shop as a child – I used to collect and frame my favorite ones!
What a beautiful card and I love the sentiment! Thank you for joining us at Melonheadz and hope to see you again soon! 🙂 ~Annie
