Happy World Card Making Day!

Yes, there really IS a day to celebrate making hand-crafted cards, and it falls on the first Saturday in October. Which happens to be TODAY, October 1st. (Wait, what?!) And to help us celebrate, Stampin' Up! is having a sale on some select items to make it easy to create those cards. Since the sale lasts for five days, you don't need to fret if you're not making a card today!

And BONUS....today also starts a month-long DSP sale. If you buy three, you can get one free (on selected products)!


I wanted to feature a couple of the items that are on sale, and show how quick and easy it is to make a simple card with a matching envelope. The DSP on the card is actually the In Color Envelope paper that is on sale! Once you've cut your 8" x 8" square for making the envelope with the envelope punch board (also on sale!), you'll have some leftovers that can be used on a card. Tomorrow and Monday, I'll have more projects using these goodies, too.


Here's what is on sale!
