We are “thinking about you” all day and hope you’re getting your card making groove on! Or if you’re not able to be crafting today, we sure hope today’s cards will inspire you the moment you can get in your craft space.
I think we all love those little reminders that someone has us on their mind and this hour our team has created some sweet “thinking of you” cards they’re excited to share…
“Because of the prevalence of text, email and Facebook messages, it’s rare to get paper cards these days. So when I do receive a physical card from someone it’s very special. And it’s ULTRA special when it’s a handmade card. When I make cards for other people, I like to add an additional handmade touch. My favorite cardmaking technique is stitching, whether it be hand, machine or even faux stitching. I always stitch on pre-cut pieces of cardstock and/or paper first before attaching them to the card front so that the back-stitching is hidden behind the paper panels and can’t be seen when you open the card.
Supplies: Cardstock: American Crafts; Patterned paper: Pebbles; Corrugated cardboard: Fancy Pants Designs; Paper flowers/leaves: Prima; Stitched Circle Die: Lawn Fawn; Adhesive: Therm-O-Web and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, Other: yarn, lace, gems
For an extra personal touch, I crocheted a rose and adorned it with vintage-type gems from my stash. Happy World Cardmaking everyone!” Stacy Cohen

Supplies | Cardstock: American Crafts; Patterned Paper: Fancy Pants Designs, Elle’s Studio; Button: Teresa Collins; Puffy Sticker: Fancy Pants Designs; Enamel Dots: Studio Calico; Cut File: Scrapbook and Cards Today WCMD Free Cut File; Ink: Stampin’ Up!; Other: Ribbon, thread
“Hello SCT Friends! I love to add different textures to cards besides paper! Ribbon, like the wide organza I used on my card is lightweight enough to be used under paper as a separate layer, and I added additional texture by sewing the layers together with a sewing machine!” ~ Meghann Andrew
……………….
We love this great tip by Paige Evans. Tip: Let the sentiment be the star of the show and die cut it (using one of today’s free cut files!) from your favorite patterned paper. To add extra texture and love, hand stitch around the phrase using a coordinating color of thread.
……………….
Ready for another sweet surprise…we have a second $100 mystery box full of fun, card making supplies from several of our partners for one more lucky winner! You’ll get paper, stamps, inks, adhesive and more! For an opportunity to win this special mystery box, be sure to leave a comment below by Thursday, October 13th! Good luck!

My friend Heather, works many hours outside of her home.
She has a beautiful heart.
So you can see she has not had the chance to update her blog. So I am thinking that a shout out to her would make her day.

Stitched cards give that little extra something. I always enjoy looking at them but this is one technique I have not tried…………..well it is card making day so I guess I will give it a try today. Thanks for the chance to win the mystery box. My girlfriend Josie could use a good pick me up right about now, she has had a rough couple months.

Thanks to the designers for sharing their beautiful cards. I love to use ribbon as an extra on my cards. My niece Ashley is cooking and delivering the Thanksgiving turkey, so she could use a box as a way of saying thanks for her delicious efforts.

I love the creative techniques and extra touches in all these cards. It’s so nice to see those added details when you open a handmade card. I would love to receive the wonderful prize up for grabs, but I also think my sister in Oklahoma could use a little extra somethin’ somethin’ because she doesn’t find much time these days to get as crafty as she would like.

My friend Nola could sure use a pick me up! She totally envisioned a new life for herself at 60 and did it, but it can be lonely at times.
Thanks for all the inspiration, I can never have too many thinking of you cards in my stash.Really like all the layers and textures on these cards, especially the stitched card. I would send a little pick me up to my sister!

I love that there is ‘a world card making day!! I like to use my handmade cards as often as I can.

As usual beautiful cards. Loving national card day
I would send a little pick me up to my friend Felicia, she and her family are going thru an incredibly difficult time. THank you for this pretty TOY cut file. I will be able to get a lot of use from it.
Amazing cards!!! I’d love to win and to be able to share some card making goodies with my friend Angie who has had a rough year so far and told me recently that she’d love to make her own cards.
I love all these cards. I am going to try and make some of these. Thanks so much for the inspiration and for the chance to win!
These cards are beautiful! Not sure if I have the patience to stitch around a sentiment, but it sure looks great! My friend Ellie could use a little “pick me up” right about now, and this surprise would bring a smile to her face.
Love all the inspiration that you send. I would love a chance to win a free box of supplies. I would also like to share it with my sister Sugar who lives in San Diego. Now on to make some cards. Thank you.
like the style of the card by Paige but I don’t sew at all. May do with some different edging. My mom lost every thing last year in a big flood we had. She is just getting back into making a few cards so would love to have a pick me up for her.
My friend Holly just had her tonsils out and will be recooperating during fall break. She could definitely use a little pick-me-up!
Love the stitching (but I don’t have the patience!). Thanks for the giveaway and my friend Sherry could use a pick me up (plus she’s always so generous to everyone).
Thanks for the giveaway, I am sure my friend Linda would appreciate a gift too
The touch of lace trim and sticking around the lettering is……. WOW!
Keep going I’m taking notes! ?
Beautiful cards! My friend, Elizabeth, could use a pick-me-up!
Great ideas!
I would share the gift with my sister Christiane, she would be very happy!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Fantastic cards! My friend Nita could use a pick-me up for sure! Lots of health challenges in their family over the last couple of years, so would be great.
Another bunch of beautiful cards! Love all the stitching, it is one of my favorite things to do on cards and LO’s. You have inspired me to make a batch of “thinking of you” cards and send them out just because.
Thank you for the inspiration and another chance at the generous mystery box! I would love to share with my friend Kim if I am a lucky winner:)
Lovely cards! Wonderful inspiration an this great day! :)
