Day of the Month Card Club - World Card Making Day

Hi Everyone,




This month we are celebration "World Card Making Day" - that means it's an anything goes topic, but it should be a card, of course. Actually that day should be every day....
 For more detail on this day go visit our challenge blog.



We also have a Guest Designer with us Christiane Wo , who was voted winner in challenge #6. Her delightful blog is called eye can stamp, although she has abandoned her blog lately and is now just found on Instagram under the name Vivaldis Frauchen. I also love her sense of humor and she makes really fabulous cards. If you don't know her blog you might want to pay it a visit. It will not disappoint, I promise!

 Now here is my inspiration card:

I bought the September card kit from hero Arts, since I needed to have the cover die with all those windows. It's 25 of them -perfect for an Advent calendar. But for now we are celebrating Halloween soon and the kit is actually a Halloween kit. 

Here you see the outside with all the little windows:


And some more views of the inside.


This is not a quick card to make - beware! But I think the effort is totally worth it!


Besides that - we are celebrating World Card Making Day - that is indeed a very special day, so it needs a special card!


I am counting on you! You have until the end of the month (10/31) to do so.
Please link up HERE

This is a voting challenge - the winner will be determined by vote. Everybody can vote, even if you didn't play along. Voting starts on the first of the following month - June first. 
The 3 participants with the most votes will win. 
The winners will be showcased on the 5th of each month and the new challenge will start each month on the seventh.
And to make it more fun and appealing it would be great if you could comment on at least 3 other participants - perhaps you'll find some new friends that way. 


There is always a reason to celebrate!

You really made a cool card for Halloween. I like all the little boxes look of the design too.

You have really blown me away with this beautiful presentation Cornelia. I can see so much work has gone into this masterpiece. Love the cover with all its bits and then I look inside and see what beauty you have created here. So colourful and again more bits and bobs. A brilliant halloween piece.

How fun and fabulous, Cornelia ... there's so much brilliant detail on one small card! Love how it's understated in it's 'closed' form ... and when all those doors are opened, the insides positively glow! Spooky and so clever! Hugs, Anita :)

This card is so clever, I love the way you have coloured it so it looks like light shining out of the windows. It also has a wonderful spooky feel to it xx

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car
