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,

Wow..what a difficult decision………
I guess My favs would be light up my life and tag one.
They all are great
Well, I would have to say ALL, but to narrow that down, The Sheltering Tree, bringing back memories playing under a huge Mulberry Tree in the middle of a dog pen, loved those little puppies!! Thanks, all beautiful cards.
Sue
Love them all, but the first is the best! (I was busy CASEing and forgot to tune in when you and Tim were live!)
The first one, with the painted DSP, and stamped image just calls to me, although everyone knows I’m nuts about butterflies.
Thanks Karen for making it so tough!
Rita, I love that you think I made it tough!!! Thanks for saying that.
Thanks, Bonnie! Casing is one of the things we do best.
Sue, isn’t it wonderful that a hand made card can bring up good memories?
Thanks for voting, Vaye! I love that card too – and its the only one I didn’t design. Brenda Cardinal is a fabulous designer and I’m glad to give her the credit.
Thanks for voting, Chris! I think that card was the easiest to make – so isn’t it fun that we don’t need to make involved cards to get good results?
Thanks for you vote, Carrie!
Thanks, Sandy! We will have to use that bow builder punch the next time you come over!
Thanks, Ruth. I love that card too – and I didn’t even design it!
Thanks, Lorelai. I will come over to your link party – thanks for the invite!
Thanks, Pat! Isn’t that paper fun to work with?
Thanks, Beth! That has been the most popular choice for Sale-a-bration among all of my customers. The three step look is beautiful.
Thanks, Rachel! I love that swing too – you don’t see as many swings hanging from trees as you did when I was young!
Liz – “make me smile” is one of the nicest things you could have said about any of the cards. Thank you.
Thanks, Josie. I agree with you – that set is so adorable and I love the “I like your face”.
Sue – what a beautiful memory you have painted! I think too many kids don’t get to play outside so much anymore – other than at parks or school yards.
Thank you, Bonnie!
Anita – I just love that little house too!
Barbara – thanks for voting and I love your reason – we all all ready for spring!
Thanks, Carolyn! Great memories you have!
Thanks, Nancy! I love that bow builder punch and its so easy to use.
Thanks, Dianne!
Thanks, Rita!

Thanks, Michelle. Fewer kids today will have memories like that – and that sense of freedom. (not just being at a park and being supervised all the time)
Thanks, Rachel …yes, bring on spring!
Thanks, Julianne!
