Have you wondered what kinds of cards we make the the Minnesota Card Extravaganza? Here are nine of the cards we made there! (Vote for your favorite at the end.)
So simple and yet so elegant with the Painted Petals stamp set and the Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper.
Another take on the same stamp set and DSP!
The One Tag Fits All with the Note Tag Punch are featured in this fun, colorful card by Brenda Cardinal.
A summer version of the Sheltering Tree stamp set. This set is so versatile – great for all four seasons, for sympathy cards as well as birthday cards, and for those man cards for all occasions!
Cheerful Critters in a cute one layer card with hearts! Doesn’t that speak loudly “I like your face”? Great for Valentines, birthdays, kids’ cards …. and more!
The Bow Builder Punch makes for a quick birthday card, along with words from the Big Day stamp set (a Free Sale-a-bration choice).
I just love this little house from the the You Brighten My Day stamp set (a Free Sale-a-bration choice) which coordinates with the What’s Up! Punch. Coloring in with Blendabilities really shows it off!
Free Sale-abration choices on this card!!! Both the Lotus Blossom stamp set and the Irresistibly Yours DSP (sponged with Pool Party ink) are free choices!
This elegant card done in golds uses the Butterflies Thinlits and the Fancy Foil Designer Vellum. This card also comes as part of the Butterflies Bundles Online Class (click here to read more) and, if you haven’t seen the easy way to cut out these Butterflies Thinlits, click here.
This last card features the Petal Potpourri stamp set with the Flower Medallion Punch (purchase these together as a bundle and save 15%) with words from the Best Day Ever stamp set (a Free Sale-a-bration choice).
That’s really quite a variety of cards, isn’t it? That’s what you can expect from the Minnesota Card Extravaganza Days. (The next one is March 21.)
I put this card last because “You Made My Day”. That is how I feel about you taking the time to read my blog. ….. so now,

My favorite is the ‘I like your face’ card because that sentiment just makes me smile. The gold butterfly is an awfully close second though. Thanks for all the great ideas
What a hard decision! Such beautiful cards! I think my favorite is the Lotus Blossom thank you. But the Painted Petals thank you, the Sheltering Tree card, the You Made My Day were all right up there. So hard to choose! Oh, and the little houses are so cute! Nice work, Karen.
Love the colors in this one.

I agree with the person before me hard decision.I love the colors for the Lotus Blossom you used. Wish I lived closer to be able to join with you to make these cards. Lovely
They are all beautiful! My favorite is the lotus blossom. I really like that color, the three-layer stamping of the flower adds depth and looks like art, and that paper with the resist is… well… irresistible! It is great to be able to make your background match so nicely.

Hi Karen,
All the cards are beautiful. It was hard to pick one. I like the card that looks like a package. The bow punch is my all time favorite and it looks like a fairly easy card to CASE.
🙂
I like all but the tree was my favorite. Remeinds of days in country growing up with siblins.
It is hard to choose a favorite because they are all lovely cards….but I think the first card is my choice. Just brings out the feeling of Spring with the beautiful blue flowers. TFS
Love about three of them intenseley however push to shove the colour,and simplicity of the little houses won. thank you for such beautiful work.
Lotus blossom 1st & Butterfly next. Hard to choose between the two.one just as prett as the other. Thanks for the great inspiration

I like the sheltering tree and the gold butterfly. But they are all lovely.
I LOVE the first card, I think it’s the blue, I love blue. All the other cards are wonderful too.
Cheerful critters is simple and adorable. It really works for any age.
I like both painted petal cards and the lotus blossom one. They are all very pretty and cheerful looking. They make me smile.
My favorite is the dinner version of Sheltering Tree. I love the swing and the bright green color!
I think they are all nice but am most excited about the Lotus Blossom Thank You card because of the colors. I admit I am also excited about it because the Lotus Blossom stamp set was my Sale-a-Bration choice.
My favorite is Lotus Blossom stamp set and the Irresistibly Yours DSP.

How can you choose a favorite? They are all very cute. I do like the you light up my life card. After looking thru the cards about 20 times that one always caught my eye.
My favorite is the Lotus Blossom because it has the most stamped images.
They are all quite lovely! My very favorite is the bow punch one. The colors and the simplicity of it really catch my attention. My next favorite is the

Painted petals thank you is beautiful!
