The frog and sentiment stamps are from Craftsmart and I got them in our $1 bin at our local Michaels store. I also used some buttons (also in the $1 bin at Michaels.)
Hope you like it and have a "Toad-ally" awesome Halloween....

Wild Card Series #20 Pinwheel Card
Certainly a different take on an everyday card. With Christmas a few months away, I decided to try to make a Pinwheel (or spin) Christmas Card. I have more smaller Christmas images than I do others.
you will need a small brad for this card. I cut the card, envelope, liner, and frame all at 6 1/2".
There is no liner for the card so my cardstock had to be simple. The frame and liner I chose to use patterened paper from Tis the Season, and use up some scraps I had lying around.
The card base and envelope base is a green cardstock.
The stamped images are various ones that I had lying around from Stampin' Up, Recollections and a few that I picked up in the $1 bin at our local Michaels. All inks are from Stampin' up.

Wild Card Series #19 Wave Card
This card is a very simple card to make. There is not a lot to put together on it.
My card and all accessories were cut at 6 1/2". My card base is white and the patterened paper is from Black River Designs Duck Pond. I used a Navy blue Icon.
I only used the accessories of the liners, the card & envelope and icon.
I added a sentiment from the Occasional Quotes Stampin' Up set.

Wild Card Series #18 Thanks Card
I couldn't wait to put this card together. I love the odd lines to it and of course the shape is amazing.
Word of advise, I spent over 1/2 hour wondering why my liner wouldn't fit and actually cut another and the whole time, my envelope was scored backwards.
I cut this card and all accessories at 6". I used both liners, the frame and phrase. Instead of keeping the Icons that came from the envelope when it was cut, I cut 3 icons in the same cardstock as the card base.
The patterened paper is from Cloud 9 Designs Sparkle Chocolate Parfait. I have been saving this cardstock for years now for a "special" card and this was the one I chose.
I had a matching lime green ribbon that I also added to the card.

Wild Card Series #17 Circle Card
This was a very simple little card as most of the card layouts from the Wild Card cartridge are. The envelope I find though is a little too "compact" for my liking so I would make it a size larger next time.
The Circle Card if found on p. 48 of the manual. I cut it at 4" and used a blackout of the card and also the envelope. I also cut both liners and icon 1. I did not add the Phrases from the book, instead added a Thank You sentiment that I had.
As I said, next time I would cut the envelope to 4 1/4". The patterend paper is from My Minds Eye Totally Girl paper pad.

Wild Card Series #16 Tweety Card
This card and all accessories was cut at 5". This card is on page 47 of the Wild Card manuel. I have to say, I use this card design a lot. I cut both liners, the card, the envelope, the frame, phrase 1, and icon 1.
The patterened paper is from K & Company and if from The Best of K & Company paper pad.

Wild Card Series #15 All In One
I really like how this turned out. I am always putting gift cards in an envelope with a Holiday card or birthday card! Now I can eliminate that and make an envelope and matching card for it.
The card was cut at 4 1/4". This will fit a standard size Gift Card. For this, I cut the envelope, card, liner 1 (forgot to do Liner shft) all at 4 1/4.
I then measures all of my outside sides of the card holder and came up with the following demensions:
3/4 x 4", 2 x 4", 2 1/2 x 4".
I put them on and then decided to round the edges with my corner rounder.
The patterned paper is Tis the Season and has tons of beautiful patterned paper.
