Happy World Card Making Day! - 12 pm EDT - Vera

Happy World Card Making Day!

Since I love geography, we'll be seeing the Challenge Team throughout the day based on their location in the United States from east to west! Say hello to Vera Wirianta Yates who lives deep in the heart of Texas in the metro Houston area.

This is the fifth of nine posts on this blog today (every two hours from 4 am EDT to 8 pm EDT) where the MFT Challenge & Inspiration Team and our October Guest Designer (you'll get to meet her at 2 pm!) will share Christmas and holiday cards and tips.

On each post, we'll be offering AWESOME prizes including My Favorite Things holiday favorites from the past as well as brand spanking new products from the October release that won't be available until next Tuesday. Yep, this is your chance for a sneak peek! Details for how you can get your to chance to win can be found later on in this post.

Check out the card that Vera created for today!

Elf Shaker Card by Vera Wirianta Yates featuring the Birdie Brown Santa's Elves stamp set and Die-namics and the Tag Builder Blueprints 4 Die-namics #mftstamps # wcmd2015

Let's see what Vera has to say:

"From the moment I saw this Santa Elves set, I knew right away that I wanted to pair it with the Tag Builder Blueprints 4 Die-namics to create a festive shaker card. In my head, elves love happy, shiny things. Just like my shaker tag!

"What I really love about the Tag Builder Blueprints 4 is the fact that you can mix and match the inner parts. On my card I used the matching rectangle tag, but you can always replace it and use the small circle one or the fishtail one instead."

For the 6th year, Vera is hosting her annual Caring Hearts Card Drive. Vera started the card drive in 2010 in honor of her mom. Now she has teamed up with the talented and generous Jennifer McGuire. The purpose of this card drive is to collect handmade holiday cards for the elderly to let them know that they're not forgotten. We all love making cards and this is such an awesome way to share our love of card making to brighten other people's holiday. In 2010 we collected about 750 cards and last year we collected over 17,000 cards and even branched out to Australia. Check out the card drive details HERE.

While we are over here celebrating World Card Making Day, the My Favorite Things October release is hitting the Internet with full force at the My Favorite Things blog. Make sure to visit yesterday's post HERE and today's post HERE to see new products and the awesome projects created by the amazing My Favorite Things Design Team!
