All the cards are just fabulous and so inspiring. I love the different styles and how they used different embellishments on the cards. I love Card Creations, cuz of all the inspiration you can find in this magazine.
Lovin' all the cards...especially Windy's:)
Love the CC magazines...sooo chock full of goodness...lovin' forward to the celebration!
The cards are so fun to look at and give me such inspiration. But my fav is the Elegant Joy Card. Love that big bow.
All the cards are just adorable. If I have to pick one, I like "The night out on the town." I like the way the city scape goes over the edge of the card. Nice added touch!
The Glee card is soooo fun! I love it! Can't wait for Card Creations week:)

I love the glee card with those fabby flowers popping up everywhere!
Great cards! My favorite is the crepe paper birthday... Thanks for sharing!
Wow just loving all those colour combos!
I love the card with the dark blue rolled flower-and it looks perfect against the red checked background!
love the crepe paper, so fun! also love the bright rainbow of colors on the glee card! fabulous stuff!!
OH my gosh... OK the City scene card is my fav. being from NY Then the Glee card.. I thought of the show which I LOVE. What a way to end an awesome week.TGIF to you.
love the happy colours in Maren's Glee card. And the crepe ruffles in Kim's card. Ooh, and the moon/cityscape. Hhhmmm, I love them all really :-)
I love both of the button, fabric and wooden how cool are they. Very creative on the crepe tissue paper and the Skyview is fafulus and long with the Glee Sentiment, very, very clever. Beautiful cards
I have always loved Card Creations for the fabulous, inspiration cards. They are always unique and beautiful.
Each card has it's own wowzer factor. I must try the crepe paper ruffles. I love the town crd that has a shorter front and the city hanging over. Must go find my copy of Card Creations!
Awesome cards! I really like Kim's card . . . those ruffles are too cute, and I love the mix of colors in her sentiment!!
Exciting!! I will be here all next week with my coffee and bells on!!
I love how fun and vibrant all these cards are!
Beautiful cards...they all have something very unique about them. Great colours!
HEY GIRLFRIEND ... oh yeah. That one just rocks my world.
Love that first card - the flower is gorgeous!
All those cards are fabulous. But that 'glee' card...I think it is the colors...I see a rainbow with lots of balloons flying into the sky. Love it.
Love the variety! The crepe paper is super cute and could go for baby shower, bridal shower, etc.
I love all the bold colors and patterns on these cards, and I love all the inspiration I get from your special magazine weeks. Thanks for the chance to win.
The GLEE card just made me smile out loud. I love when people add other crafty elements, like fabric, lace and crepe papers to their card creations. The added texture makes the card so interesting!
I got my Card Creations in the mail this week and it's AWESOME!!! I really love Windy's "Joy" card. Great color scheme. Gosh - they are all fabulous! Happy Friday, Ya'll!!
I love the crepe paper in Kim Kesti's card. It's such a unique touch to a beautiful card!
These cards are fantastic! I love the wood grain alpha, the ruffle, the color on the buildings - but most of all I love the simplicity and color against the white background of the Glee card. So clever!
What jumps out at me are the perky crepe paper ruffle and how simple that would be to add a splash of color and texture to a card. Also, the simplicity of the text layout. The whole effect is cheerful, playful, joyful. Just right for a birthday greeting. I also love Windy's card for its simple, bold combination of color, texture and pattern. Elegant and understated. The combo of layout, button and ribbon could be repeated in so many variations, it's a very versatile design.
LOVE Kim's crepe paper card. SO clever!!
I love getting inspired when I read it! IT's one of my favs.
I love the ruffle on the crepe paper card and LOVE the rolled flower on the first card!
Love the Black, Green & Turquoise color combo of Kim Kesti's Happy Birthday Card - my fav!
i love the flower on the first card.. everything is just so inspiring!
That Glee card is clean, simple yet super fun!!
What's not to like? Have to check my LSS for a copy! Thanks for a chance to win something.
I love the one "hey girl friend" it reminds me to do cards for my girl friends using different kind of greetings. And I love the one Glee for its colors and design.
I'm so excited about this upcoming week! Card Creations Week inspires me for MONTHS! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!
Love the out on the town card (they are all great, but this one stood out). I need a night on the town, and would love to get that as an invitation!
I love the color combos - I am definitely going to lift some of these. thanks for the chance to win.

The crepe paper is awesome! Who knew it would become trendy again!!!
Always such great inspiration and all of these are no exception. I especially like the bright colours and the funkiness of the glee card.
I just adore that city scene card!!! Too fun!

Love Windy Robinson's enjoy card. The brown/turquoise color combination, the sheer ribbon, the gigantic button--it all works! Can't wait to check out this new issue!
These cards are all gorgeous and totally do-able. That's what I like about them.
Can't wait to pick up the new Card Creations - will run out today to get my copy!
Wow, I want to learn to make crepe paper ruffles like that, they are Gorgeous! And the glee card is so whimsical, love it. Windy's enjoy card is so elegant, though, it'd be hard to choose a fave among these!
alecia
Can't decide which I love more...the elegant joy card or the exuberant Glee card! Both are winners in my book. Love the color combo on the joy card....but I love the whimsy of the Glee card. Can't choose!
Awesome cards! I love the handmade rosette. Can't wait for next week.
Love that ruffle! And the colors on all of these are fab!
Great cards...My fav is the elegan joy - CAS and that button is FAB!!
They all have such fun things to love but my fav items have to be the crepe paper ruffle on Kim's card and the cloth flower on Julie's card!!
I really love Kim's card with the crepe paper ruffle! And I can't wait to see all the other sneak-peeks next week!
I cant wait to see the rest of the cards in the issue!!! These ones are all so cute and easy to do!! I love all of the inspiration ides you ladies give!! THANKS!!!!!
All the cards are fabulous but I'm definitely in love with Maren's clean and simple and oh-so-happy card!
I loved Windy's bold color combo--very dramatic. Kim's crepe paper ruffle was very cute. Ruffles are very popular now it seems. Thanks for the tease about the latest Card Creations. What a great inspirational source, all in one place.
OMG! Love all these cards! The elegant "joy" one is fabulous!!!
I can't decide if the crepe paper card or the city scape card is my favorite. I love how something so simple can really jazz up a card. I love making cards. I think it adds a little more to the greetings if it's made with love!
It was funny to see the crepe paper card because I bought a round of crepe paper last week and have made several cards with it-looks like I'm not alone!
I love the Elegant Joy card because she used my favorite paper ever... Crate Paper!!!!
I think Windy's Elegant Joy is really interesting...I want to just keep staring at it for some reason. Thanks so much!
These cards are both fun and easily reproducibile. I love to piggy back on a great idea. :)
How pretty and clean these card are. Very pleasing to the eye.
