Hello, it’s SCT, we’ve been wondering if after all this time….Hello…
Ok, so we’re not so great at an Adele song but you know what this team is great at? Creating pretty amazing cards! This hour several of our team wanted to share some of their favourite “hello” cards. Who doesn’t love getting a handmade hello in the mailbox? As a little extra, our Art Director and new to the scene cardmaker Cathy Zielske has a fun video too. Let’s get this hour’s party started…
Supplies: Cardstock (American Crafts), Patterned Paper (Studio Calico), Stickers (One Canoe Two by American Crafts), Thicker phrase (Havana by American Crafts, Other (sewing machine and thread)
“For this fun fall “hello” card, I used a kraft cardstock base layered with some fall patterned paper. I stitched around the edges to add a bit of texture. Next, I used a sticker pack to add embellishments, and a foam word thicker to add my sentiment. Tip: American Crafts word Thickers are a great way to add a sentiment to your card! Thanks for stopping by the blog today! ~ Jen Chapin
………………..
In a world full of lemons, who’s your lemonade? Tell them as much with a refreshing shaker card.
CARDSTOCK: Die Cuts with a View; PATTERNED PAPER: Make a Pretty Life; DIES, TOPPINGS, FOAM SHAPES: Queen & Co; Adhesives: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
I used two fruit dies (wedge and slice) from Queen & Co. to create the focal points on this hello—the lemons! It was easy peasy lemon squeezey using the dies and coordinating Specialty Shaker Kit, which comes with pre-cut pieces of foam. I just adore the bitty lemon slices in this Toppings assortment and knew they’d be just the ticket when it came to filling my fruit.
I reserved the inside panel of the card for the sentiment, which I painted to complement the overall look of the card. TIP: Blend some pink paint into the yellow while the paint is all still wet. This will create a neat, blended look.
This World Card Making Day, spend some of your special card time creating designs you can have on hand to grab in a pinch. You never know when you might need a word of encouragement, and shaker cards make quite the impact. Cheers!” ~ Megan Hoeppner

Hello, everyone! Thanks so much for joining us today for our WCMD celebration! I love creating cards, especially using the leftover bits and pieces that remain on my desk after designing a layout. I like to call it “creative clean up.” I also find that card making is a wonderful solution to help me get out of a creative rut. In fact, cards are the ideal canvas for experimenting with new techniques on a smaller scale.
Supplies: Cardstock: Bazzill Basics; Patterned Paper, Chipboard Accent, Enamel Dots: Simple Stories; Stickers: Simple Stories, Jillibean Soup; Tag: Crate Paper; Die Cutting File: Scrapbook & Cards Today; Manual Die: Papertrey Inc; Glitter: Ranger Industries; Other: Thread, Fine Tipped Black Pen
My best tip for card making is to simply have fun and enjoy the process! You can spend anywhere from 20 minutes on a design, or up to several hours. AND, both can be equally as fabulous!!! ~ Sheri Reguly

“Hey everyone! Cathy Zielske here and I’m so excited to be with you today for World Card Making Day, especially considering that this time last year, I really had no idea what the card making world was all about and now you could say I am all in!
While I still consider myself a pretty new cardmaker, I love trying many of the cool techniques I see on YouTube and today I’m sharing a card with some simple ink blending and an emboss resist technique.
For a complete list of the supplies I used, visit my blog.
Using a 6 x 6 Hero Arts Repeating Flower Bold Prints background stamp, I used Versamark Ink and white embossing powder to create a white on white image. Then I ink blended over the top using Distress Oxides and that lovely white patterned resisted the ink. I have a video walking you through the whole process! Enjoy!”
………………..

Pretty cards, especially loving the fall one! Thanks for the sweet autumn inspiration.
Super cute hello cards! I love all the fun colors used in these designs. Why is that when we say “hello” we always want to add an exclamation mark?? Maybe because it’s usually for someone super special!! If I could say hello to anyone, it would be my dear friend, Celine, in France. We don’t talk very often and don’t write nearly as much as we should. So you’ve inspired me. . . hello card here we come.
My hello goes to my niece and nephew – and it would be accompanied by a zillion virtual hugs until I can see them in person. The DT inspiration cards: sensational! Thank you for the inspiration!
~carol
Cathy, I can’t believe you are a newbie at card making! It’s beautiful! We sponsor 3 girls living in GNI dream centres. I would love to meet them face to face and give them huge hugs along with the hello.

Happy World Cardmaking Day!!!! Love the cards!!! If I could say hello to anyone right now it would be to everyone who is feeling down or alone to remind them that someone cares and they matter in this world.
my Granny and I used to send cards to each other all the time, just because we loved each other. She passed a few years ago and in her memory I am going to send my older grandbabies some cards that I make today.
on another note, I love the hello cards, Cathy’s and the one using Simple Stories which is one of may favorite brands. Love surprises, always buy grab bags of scraping supplies.
I love every part of the design in this “HELLO” card. The colors, the background stamp, everything…. What a great way to show someone you are thinking about them which is what card-making is all about!

If I could say Hello to anyone it would be to Joseph, a dear little Angel who Cancer took from us in 2003 at the too young age of 7! He valiantly battled this nasty disease for two years before it took him. I literally think of him every single day and often ask myself what would Joseph do in a situation. He was an old soul who was much wiser than his 7 years!
❤️❤️❤️❤️?❤️❤️❤️❤️
woohoo! Let the fun begin! These are great inspiration cards and I love the video, it’s been so long since I’ve done emboss resist, so I’m inspired again!

I’d really like to say Hello to all the wonderful inspirational card makers that I have learned from over the years….and I think they are all SCT alumni. When I first started making cards I learned so much from this magazine, and am so grateful for all the wonderful work that you all do. My first WCMD was a huge learning experience too. Trying to create a card that was half as nice as the professionals wasn’t easy, but really stretched my creativity. Thank you!
Happy World Card Making Day! Just want to say Hello to all and Thank You for the card ideas.

I would say hello to everyone and anyone-it is just a nice way to be by saying hello to random people it brightens their day as well as yours.
So many amazing and special cards. I love the layers and how fun is that to put shakers on cards! I love making cards and playing with paper. Its always so relaxing and destressing. I always give a warm hello to anyone who wanders into my craft room to sit down and play with the stash! 🙂

Beautiful cards! Happy World Card Making Day to all (a little belatedly…someone forgot to update her blog reader to include SCT’s new address – oops!)
If I could say hi to someone, it would be my grandmother. She was the sweetest, and she always made wonderful food! She didn’t speak the best English, but man, her hugs made up for that. <3 Miss her.
I love every single one of those cards! Thank you all for great inspiration. I would say hello to my growing up best friend Julie. We haven’t seen each other in a really long time.
Love the great HELLO cards! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Ah, massive cuteness from the team! I want to cut tons of that hello cut file! If I could say hello to anyone it would by Donny Osmond. Yeah, baby!
Oh my…I’d say hello to my cousin in Italy. And I have to say thank you for sharing these wonderful cards — so full of inspiring ideas!
I would say hello to my son, who lives on the other side of the country! I don’t get to see him near often enough.
