💖I made this card for my son, who’s favorite food is apple pie! He even asks for apple pie instead of birthday cake. Have you seen the new More Than Autumn stamp set? It is fabulous!

This week’s Festive Friday Design Team’s challenge #FF0168 is World Card Making Day! You may be surprised to learn that card making has been around for centuries. In fact, its roots can be traced back as far ago as ancient China, where cards were used to send greetings on New Year’s Day, and in Egypt, where they sent greetings with papyrus scrolls. Thanks to advances in printing and technology and lower postal rates, sending greeting cards for any occasion transformed from moderately costly handcrafted gifts to a relatively inexpensive way to personalize greetings and communication. 

I started making cards in 2003 and became a demo within a week. My heart still sings with joy with each card I make. I love the ability to personalize cards, like I did for this card for my son. If you need more joy in your life, consider learning to make cards with me.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about Harvest-at all! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free! It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us!

From the Inspo List I used vintage colors, enamel embellishments and jute trim.
