Terrific Tuesday

It's Tuesday and I'm feeling a little punchy today. My punchiness is your gain. The first five orders I receive today at Card Goddess receive a free gift.

It's only for the first five orders and this offer is only good for today. Place an order of any size and you'll receive free gift ($12.95 value).

Hint: Mother's Day is May 10, so you may want to stock up on Mother's Day cards and cards for Mom and buy a set of cards as a gift while you're there.

Why buy store bought cards when you can buy handmade ones?

Store bought cards can be nice, but you always run the chance of giving someone the same card as somebody else does. When you buy and send handmade cards, you're guaranteed to send a card that nobody else will.

I love to send cards, which is what prompted be to start my card making business. It's a great stress reliever to me to create cards. And it puts a smile on my face when one of my cards puts a smile on someone's face. When I send one of my cards to someone, it usually prompts a phone call, or at least an email, to say how adorable the card is and how much they love it.

Ice Skate & Snowflake Card

In honor of the ice storm that struck Northern Virginia yesterday (where I am visting with my parents), I'm featuring my ice skating card today! This glittery ice skate die cut sits on an ice blue card and comes complete with one plastic snowflake. This simple but beautiful card is one of my wintery favorites.

This is a one-of-a-kind card so you won't find another one like it--anywhere.
