Hi girlfriend! I am partial to square cards, I think you have probably figured that out:)! I would love to win this fun blog candy!!!
p.s. check out my square card today!!
Hugs,
Amy
I love square cards. I am just getting interested in making cards!I don’t think I could ever compare to what you do!
Beverly
I like the interesting fold cards. I am amazed at some of them. Also, about your birthday cards – recycle! You have pics of each of them, so if you ever need to review, go to the blog. Congratulations on 125,000 – I know I am a daily visitor to your blog!
I love square cards so much that I think the postal service should make square envies the standard rather than the exception! You are so generous with your candy…thanks for the chance!
Congrats on 125,000 – your blog is great
I guess I would have to say the traditional 4 x 5 1/2 card, simply because I’m too lazy to try different cuts! : )
Wow, that’s a hard questions, I really like long, letter-sized cards, or I still like buckle cards. Congratulations on the big numbers, Beate, your blog rocks and so do you!
I love your blog! So glad I found it! My favorite cards are mini 3×3. Thanks for all the inspiration!
I have been mostly doing the regular size cards but have started trying different styles. I have been using the long notes from SU, but have started loving the square and want to try some with folds. I am always looking for something new to try…
I love spinners. It’s too much fun to make the disc roll back and forth across the card. I wanted to say how much I enjoy reading your blog. Thank ou for all of the work you put into this for our enjoyment.

Probably my favorite is the square. Just discovered your blog… Wonderful! Pat
I’m partial to the traditional 4 x 5.5 card since they can be made so easily and don’t cost anything extra to send. But I love experimenting with sliders and card with windows.
Hi Beate,
what a wonderful gift you have put together. you always spoil us so much…
I love all tri-fold or even more fold cards. i would also see some different solutions for closing a card besides ribbon. did you see anything?
keep going – you rock
claudia
Wow, congrats Beate! I have to say I love the magic card even though it is a pain to make! Everyone goes WOW! when they see it. I also like any card that you know was made with a lot of thought and love. You can feel it when you look at it! Thanks for letting us play!
Tara
Just found your site! Looks like I came at the right time! I like something a little different like a gatefold card!
Renee
I really enjoy making the 4 by 4 cards. Thanks for sharing all the great ideas on your blog.
I’m a simple girl and have really been liking the top fold cards lately (hope that makes sense!). Feel better soon!
Malissa
Wow Beate!! Congrats on the hits. As for cards I like, I’m really into single-layer cards right now. The size of them isn’t important – square, note card, A2, etc. Have a great weekend and can’t wait to see who wins this great blog candy!
I love the trifold…I want to attempt the Cami-fold next! Congrats Beate…you totally deserve the love!
I really like the square cards. Oh, what am I saying! I love making all kinds of cards, especially with friends.
Yea!! Great candy!! I am really into square cards lately – especially with the new Green thumb from Papertrey – they just look so nice in a square card! Thanks for sharing!
I like the traditional size/shape but with a top fold.
Congrats on your hit count! You have a fabulous blog, so there’s nowhere to go but up! I love cards that are non traditional shapes- circles, asymetrical folds etc.
Congrats Beate! I personally like traditional sized cards. Plus it makes it way easier when mailing.
~Melissa
I just love the Tri-fold cards that you make. I think they are awesome. I really like making square cards too, but it seems like I only make them every once in a while, maybe I will have to try making more of them – they are so fun to make!
After doing the triangle tri-fold card, square cards have become my favourite! I’ve even figured out how to make my own envies if need be! Thanks for all you create…I LOVE seeing it all!
Hi Beate! I simply LOVE square cards. I even did 100 of those for my Christmas cards last year (6×6). I don’t like the increased postage on squares though! Happy Belated Birthday!
Wow! Congrats Beate. Love your blog. I don’t have a favourite card size because I love them all. I have not try a square card yet. Maybe soon. Have a good day.
I am liking the square cards lately (but don’t like the postage!)
Thanks for all the inspiration
I like the tri-fold cards that you make. I think they are so creative and unique. I also like the square cards but hate the expensive of trying to find envies to fit them. I hate making envies. lol Thanks for sharing.
Hi Beate! I’ve really been enjoying your blog lately. I have to say I’m a traditional gal and like the same old 4 x 5.5, and I usually only switch it up to do a top fold. I’m more about the embellishments and layout!
I also like square cards, but I LOVE your blog. So glad that I found it!!!
I love any unique fold – I think it is so fun to try something new. Thanks for all of your inspiration!
I can’t pick just one favourite! I think right now my favourite is the square card. I just need to practice getting the design right – I’m used to thinking of A2 size. Congrats on the rising numbers!
I mostly create the regular sized 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cards, but do some 3 X 6.
Love your blog! I’ve been having fun making criss-cross cards!
I think I would have to say that my favorite card type is a waterfall cards. I love how they move, so simple, but such a “wow” factor. How did you get so many hits? Its amazing!
Wow Beate! 125,000 hits…that is awesome! Congrats!
I’d have to say that I really love 3×3 square cards, they are so quick & easy to make but for some reason I always return to the same quarter sheet style…I always try to remind myself to break out of that habit!
I stick with the “traditional” quarter fold card. Probably alot of it is that there is no “waste” and it is a easy cut & score.
So glad I found your BLOG, so many ideas so little time
Hugs, Deb
Congratulations on the hits. I’m far far far from that many. I’m really loving the trifold cards. Thanks for the chance at some candy!
I just LOVE the trifold cards. I haven’t made one yet, but I plan to this week.
I’m sure I won’t win the candy :), so good luck to everyone! tfs
I have been venturing out and doing some different size cards. Love the square cards and also the loooooong ones!
I am pretty boring, and like the plain old regular sized cards. That’s all I seem to make. Boring me.
I like flower cards no matter the size!
Linda
I like the shaker cards, although I stick mostly to the regular single fold card.
I like any of the “fancy” folds…tri-folds, criss cross both are favorites.
Lynda
Love square cards, but never make them since postage is more! :o(
125, 000 hits, wowee!!
A great big CONGRATS to you for hitting those big numbers Beate!!! Thanks so much for your Blog, I seriously search it daily. You have so many wonderful ideas and tutorials!!! If I had to limit it down to one favorite card style – I would have to say that tri-fold cards are my faves at this moment (but ask me in a few minutes and it might be different)!! Thanks Beate!
Wow Beate! I can see why 125,000 hits… your blog is awesome! Congrats!I would have to say that my favorite card is Cambria’s Fold, and the Square.
Thanks for sharing,
Ann
I like the square card for a contemporary look and tri-fold for a more elegant look.
Bottom line, I enjoy variety and I appreciate you showing us so many different types of cards
I like square too, mainly because I can do so much with them.
Congratulations!!
Claudia F.
I really like the square cards but my favorite is the buckle card.
It is hard not to visit your site when you have so many great ideas! I love the trifold card!
Thanks, Tracy H.
Congratulations on hitting such a wonderful number, Beate!! What an amazing accomplishment. I started reading your blog just recently. I do follow Splitcoaststampers. I am so amazed at your talent and soak up all the information you provide at both sites. Thank you for providing such an awesome service to all of us stampers. I would say my favorite card is a square card. It is just the right size for creating. Once again, congratulations! Thank you, Beate!!!
I love all unique fold type cards. Grandted, some are easier to do than others, but I’m always on the look out for fresh fold ideas! Thanks so much Beate for sharing all of your creative genius with us. You are a real inspiration.
oooh! Goodies! Thanks Beate! I love square cards, and tri-fold cards. 🙂 Have a great weekend! 🙂
Hi,
I love making 6X6 cards! I send them with pictures of my son to out of town family. You can write a lot and catch up at the same time.
Rubber Hugs,
Christina
Wow, congrats on your blog’s success! I have to say I’m also partial to square cards, especially 4×4 ones. They’re cute, fun, easy to work with, yet big enough to put a nice design on them.
My current favorite card style is the 3 x 6 featured in the SS froma month or two ago (or maybe three….). It’s a nice size.
Congrats on 125K!!!
My favorite card is probably a traditional 4.25 by 5.5, but I’ve been making a lot of triangle tri-folds since I first saw them on your blog. In fact, I am making some for a swap I’m headed to in a couple of weeks! I love trying fun new folds!
hard question! I guess my favorite is anything NEW & fresh & fun like what you tend to do with your tutorials; I made the triangle fold last week & it was a LOT of fun! Thanks for all your inspiration, congrats on the hits & great blog candy!!!
I’d have to say ever since your stamp camp that my favorite is the trifold card! It’s fun to make and everyone enjoys receiving one.
I love your blog. I am trying new types of folds on cards so I am not sure what my fave would be but I am loving all the different kinds.
Great Candy by the way!
I love any size card that involves creating different folds. Great blog!!
I really like the slider cards. Now I just need to get up the nerve to try and make one. Tee Hee.
Heather S.
I love square cards as well, have to find different sizes of envies now 🙂 WOW these numbers are amazing!! TFS
I,m in love with all cards.Yet, I’m always interested in anything new! Love your blog.
I recently learned how to do the slider card, so that is my current favorite. Hope your headache is gone soon!
I like tall cards, 4×9. Just too fun to make!! Love your blog!
I can totally see why your hit counter goes up so fast. You do beautiful work. I love seeing all of your new creations.
My new favorite card type is a shadowbox card. I haven’t tried my hand at creating one but I have seen a lot of them now and might give it a try.
congrats!!!! I like spinner cards with the pennies 🙂
Congrats! My fav. card type is the slider card. I think everyone I know has received one of those from me! Thanks!
Cheryl KVD
I like spinner cards and the new long cards in the mini catalog.
Here’s hoping I get picked this time…I really like square cards, but what would be even better is a square Cami Trifold card! So that would be my favorite right now! Congrats on so many hits, Beate, you are just too cool!
Oh my goodness, I can’t pick just one; I like them all. Variety is the best!!! Thanks for all the fantastic new ideas and beautiful old standards!
I hope you feel better soon…
Congrats on so many hits!!! My current fav is the tunnel card, although they are a lot of work.
I am loving the tutorial you did on the triangle trifold! I also am liking the 3 x 3 cards! I love your projects and tutorials!
I have to say that I love square cards. Your blog is the best….I visit it everyday.
You really shouldn’t be surprised at the number of hits you’re getting on your site. Your talent and personality just shines through!
My favorite type of card is square (although I like the fun fold type cards too)!
Linda
I love mini card they are SO cute!!! I also like square cards! Love you work, Erica
Ooh-count me in! I would love to win your goodies! Congrats on another milestone. My favorite cards (lately)stand 3.25 x 6.5.
I totally love your blog…..My fav. would have to be the tri-fold. TFS…
Congrats on your hits … you so deserve the kudos! One of my favourite card styles would be the “waterfall” card. It is a lot of work but so worth it when finished.
I tend to just make the traditional size, but I love the look of square cards and tall cards–just haven’t tried my hand at many of them.
Congrats on 125,000! Love your blog.
I really like gate-fold cards, or any unusual fold too. I don’t use as many of them as I should…I do see alot of good ideas when I blurf…I just need to jot the ideas down. Love your blog too!
It’s too hard to just pick one card type! Lately I’ve been loving 3 1/2 X 5 size cards. Cute but not too small – plus it’s easy to find envelopes that size.
So hard to decide… I am still working out the kinks on the tri-fold (keep not lining up right), liked the square card, but people are always impressed by the slider… hard to choose, hard to choose…
I’m picking tri-fold. =D
Thanks!
Congrats on the hits!! I’m loving your tri-fold cards. Everyone who I send one to is amazed by them! Thanks for the chance!
Great Blog! I love the tri-fold cards!
My favorite cards are definitely square. But I do like circle cards too. Hard to pick just one, you know!!
Wow 125,00! Horray for you! I think my favorite card style would have to be square also. They feel like a little wrapped present.
Thanks for all your inspiration.
I love square cards too. They are different enough to make them special but they aren’t difficult to make. Did that make any sense? LOL
Wow Beate! Congrats on all your hits! My favorite card type is square. I don’t particularly enjoy making cards that are a fancy fold or whatever. Well, I like to make them once and then move on to something else. 🙂
Cindy
Beate I am addicted to your blog!! I check it twice a day to make sure I don’t miss anything! You are such an inspiration! I love to make 3×3 cards! They are just so cute!
I love your blog, Beate! My favorite card to make lately is the Surprise Pop-Up card. I love all of your tutorials, you make it very easy to understand. Thank you for all you do to better other demos, like me!
Hi Beate,
I particulary like square cards. I like to make some square notecards (3×3)to give to friends as presents. They always seem to like those.
Jenny
I mostly make the regular quarter-fold cards, but I love the look of the tall cards I’ve seen on several sites lately (the ones that fit in SU’s large envys or in a regular letter envy).
WOW! So many hits already!!
I don’t have a favourite type of card to make…. although most of mine seem to be embellished with flowers or brads or ribbon these days.
Congratulations on all the hits!!! At the moment my favourite type seems to be the tri-fold and the diamond folt. I am always looking for the next great fold.
YM
I don’t have a favourite type of card – although it depends on whether I’m planning to send them through the mail or not, I guess, because I usually go with standard envelope-sized if I’m mailing them.
I love to make pocket cards and cards with unique folds. I plan to try Cami’s trifold this weekend.
I love to read your blog for new ideas. I tried the Cami trifold card and loved it. I made some baby invitations for a friend using that style. Thanks for the great inspiration!
Right now my favorite is triangle trifold cards! Thanks for the tutorial on that 🙂 I love your blog page and all the great ideas!
Hi,
My favorite card lately is the shadow box type card. I usually start with a 1/4 sheet of paper so it will fit in a standard envelope.
Love your blog!
I love tri-fold cards. They look fun and complicated, but aren’t really that hard to make!
OH, you always have the most fabulous blog candy. My favorite type of cards are the traditional size, except cutting the paper lengthwise and folding so it opens like a little book. Love your inspiring blog!
My oh my, Beate- your blog is just hoppin’!
At this rate you are going to go broke giving away all that blog candy-LOL! ;0)
I love square cards- just something about them. Another one that is quickly bwcoming a fave is the simplified tri-fold Julia Stainton showed on her blog a while ago.
Hope you’re having a good weekend! :0D
Anette(snowmom13)
Hmmmm, no I don’t think I have a favorite, except just a regular size. Not very creative is it? LOL! Unusual size cards scare me! In fact, I’ve done my first square card within the last month! I have recently tried a square tri-fold card and LOVED it! (Gave it to DH for his birthday!)
Congrats on the 125K hits! How awesome! Thanks for the blog candy, you ROCK Beate!
I love the triangle trifold that you had the tutorial for several weeks ago. I have made several and have a few more in my mind that need to be released to reality. Thanks for the inspiration you share with us!
My favorite is Cami’s trifold–I was so excited when I tried it and realized it wasn’t hard at all! I love your blog and your artwork!!!
Wow, Beate!!! You sure are a popular gal!!! I’d have to say that my favorite card is a portrait A-2 card with the fold at the top! A fun twist on a classic! 😉
Wow! Congrats on 125,000 and thanks for the great blog candy!
I like the idea of unique cards and different shapes, but I never seem to have an envelope ready to send the card off in. So I seem to do the traditional cards.
It’s a good life!
Terri E.
I love the traditional 4.25 x 5.5 size card, but am very intrigued by the unique fold cards and have done a few of them. Your blog is awesome and so very inspiring!
I have been wanting to try the stained glass cards…. I love making pocket cards.
I like a gate fold card. It’s just a little different.
Congratulations to you! I think my favorite card is the trifold. I’m working on some tonight for a swap!
Congrats on the hits! Love your site and tutorials. Patiently waiting until next week to see the tutorial for your adorable box (is it Wednesday yet?) I like the Cami fold cards!
I am pretty new to stamping, so my cards are always pretty basic, but I have the tri-fold and pocket card on my list of ones to try! LOVE your blog!
Wow, you are setting some kind of record, girl!!! That’s just awesome!
I love square cards, especially a 6″ square gate-fold. They are so fun!
Good luck everyone!!!
I am not very creative, but I love trying the tutorials on fold cards or criss cross cards, etc. I’m working on that creativity thing!! 🙂
Wow, the blog candy keeps flying off your blog. Right now I’m in love with Square cards. I don’t know why I don’t make more of them.
Thanks for the blog candy. My favorite fold is the tri fold. What is the joy fold? I have not heard of it. Love the blog.
congrats! not surprised by the number of hits, you’re a rock star! i like the square card, for some reason it aesthetically pleases me….2nd would be a trifold (cami’s are fab!)…i also love the tall, thin a10 size.
It seems like I’ve been making more and more 5 1/2″ square cards lately, but my preferred is standard size folded from the top, so I can easily tie ribbon around the top or the bottom.
Beate,
Congratulations on all the hits. Your blog is amazing as will as the wonderful tutorials you post on SCS. Thanks for all your time and effort.
I guess I’m old fashioned. My favorite type of card is still the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 format. I’ve experimented with some of the folded formats, for example the diagonal tri-fold and the tea or goodie pouch tri-fold and enjoy these for special occasions.
I seem to make the standard card size out of habit, but I do like the square cards. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity. I always look forward to see your artwork, helpful tips and tutorials.
Can I say your cards are my favorite kind of cards *wink*?? LOL I would have to say any sort of fun fold card that still ends up being A-2 in size. That way you have the fun and don’t have to buy special envelopes. Congrats on your blog…it is wonderful!

lanastamps on SCS
Congratulations, Beate! You are such an inspiration! My favorite cards are the tri-fold, though I don’t make many of them. They always get WOWs. Thanks for all the wonderful tutorials you do.
Hi Beate,
Love your blog.. you’ve got so much to share!
I love the look of square cards but never make them because I never have square envelopes, so I’d have to say my favorite would be interesting folded cards, any kind…
Congrats on a successful blog!
-Ginna
125,000 -wow- congratulations. I love your blog – check it everyday.
I am loving the triangle trifold cards right now and thank you for your tutorial on them. In fact I finally took the plunge and started a gallery and even though it is very small it contains a triangle trifold and will soon have another.
Hey Beate, I’m glad you seem to be over your migraine. Those are the worst!
My favorite card type??? Hmmm… I love square cards, but I also enjoy the waterfall cards or anything with cool folds.
I have only recently found your blog – so I really have benn missing out. It has been added to my favorite blogs and I will be a regular.
My favorite type of cards hands down is the pocket card!
Too cool. I really like the look of square cards 🙂
Congratulations…..I like the traditional size cards. Guess I’m boring too. Love your blog!!! TFS
I most often make the traditional 4.25 x 5.5, but I love the Joy Fold card too!
Gate fold cards are my favorite, but the triangle trifold you designed is right up there. Taught gals to make it today at a stamp camp, and it was very well received!
I really like the small 3 x 6 size cards they showed at convention last year! I’ve been doing those more and more for something a little different!
Love your blog!
Connie
Standard, quarter page cards are, of course, the easiest for me from a cutting and paper scrap perspective… But there’s nothing like changing the orientation (so it opens along the short rather than the long end) for a little variety… Square cards and business letter size are also too cool… And unique folds… Too hard to choose! 🙂
Congrats on such a popular blog! And THANKS!
Hello, I LOVE the tri-fold card. Once I saw the tutorial on Splitcoast and tried it, I am in heaven, so quick and easy to make and absolutley cute 🙂
Tanya
I like cards with unique folds as well, but for everyday card making I tend to stick to the usual A2 size.
Hello Beate,
I like the little tall slender cards – and they fit into a standard short envelope!
Love your blog!
Sandy Kay
I would have to say that the trifold card is my favourite. I do also love the mini 3 x 3 cards as you can use them for any occasion!
I’m addicted to Cami’s tri-fold card. I’ve modified it so that it ends up being an A2 sized card. I think I’ve made about 40 of them in the last couple of weeks for swaps and everybody thinks they’re so clever. Thanks for all the great ideas and tutorials on your blog and SCS!
Hello, congratulations……love your blog. My favourite right now are the slider cards! I think they are just soo cute.
my favorite card is the waterfall card, it makes such a *WOW* impression on everyone that I give one to!
CONGRATS Beate!!! That is A LOT of hits; good for you…:) I would have to say that my favorite card type would have to be the gift card holder. It’s so easy to make and they turn out super cute.
I’d have to say square cards are my favorite. I love square envelopes too. You just know there’s something good in a square envelope when it arrives in the mail.
Congratulations!
Oh…I love a gift card holder too! I make a really cute one 🙂
Lisa
I have never met a card shape i don’t like. I love them all.
your blog is awesome. look forward to reading every day.
smallcity
Hmm… I like square a lot. 🙂
I like the regular 4.25 x 5.5 cards – we do these at school where paper can be a premium.
Congrats! Very nice blog with loads of ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Beate, you are too sweet! I really love square cards. I don’t make them as much as I would like to though. Love your blog!
My favorite card is a tie between shadow box cards and the waterfall cards. I love the dimension that you can get with the shadow box cards! Congrats on hitting 125000!!!!
Your site is so inspirational! Just love all the new ideas and tutorials you put together! I really like the long card size and the square cards. Just hard for me to find envelopes for the square ones.
Becky
My current favorite is the buckle card. I finally tried them last week, and am loving it! I taught it to a group of stampers last night and they all loved it too! I have a swap to do this week too and I’m playing with a buckle layout.
Congratulations! What a great blog and talent! My personal favorite would be square cards. I do like fancy folds but I personally have trouble having them turn out nice.
Diane
My favorite is the square card. Congrats on the 125,000 hits!
Congrats on your blog numbers! I’m partial to the traditional sized cards, but wish the post office would let the square ones go at the regular price!
125,000 hits……..WOW…..Congratulations!! You have a great blog…..and of course, your work is exceptional. Keep those cards coming!!!
I would have to say that my favorite card at the present is the pocket card….but, then, I do love the square card too!!!
I haven’t gotten into too many fancy folds yet, but I do like square cards alot! Wow! 160 comments already. That is amazing! Good for you!
Beate, I just joined the SU demonstrator family and have been a SU and SCS fan for a while now. Your enthusiasm, creativity and hard work inspire me. I, too, am an Air Force wife and I love travelling around the world meeting wonderful friends. I look forward to helping women all over the place. We are currently in Korea until Jan. 2008 and I can’t wait to introduce all the gals at my base here to SU. Thanks for the contest – I actually love mini square cards, fun and quick to make and they are the perfect size to tuck into hubby’s bag before he heads out TDY.
I’m a fan of any type of card, but I like slider cards. Love your blog!
I just made a pocket card for the first time and I loved it! I like trying different sizes although it takes me a while to figure out the measurements.
I love the square card. Are you really suprised at how much your blog hits has risen – your postings are inspirational.
My favorite cards are ones cut 4 1/4 and 5 1/2, but don’t open on the side, but bottom to top. So are those considered square cards. I always have the right sizes envelopes for those. Great blog, by the way!!!
You are always cranking out such great creative works of art. I especially like pocket cards and second would be perfectly square cards. YOU ROCK!
you are such an inspiration to me! your work is so amazing, i hope that one day i will be 1/2 as good. my favorite cards are ones that have an element of surprise, of movement. so i guess sliders, viewmaster cards , or ones that have a saying that slides out from behind. obviously i don’t know the formal name for those… anyhow thanks for the inspiration to get better and create more. take care!
Square cards are my favs too! Wonderful giveway!!
My favorite is the square card! So cute!
Right now I am also loving square cards – just sent out several for my monthly card swap with friends, and even paid the extra postage!!! They are so much fun. And I’m still loving your blog – everything about it!!
Love square cards. But I have not had time to find a website were I can buy these at a decent price. Only make a few of these cards as I make my own envies.
So, does this count as two entries since I gmailed you when I couldn’t get to your blog before???
ilove Square cards…and anything a bit ‘different’
I like cards with lots of layers-I just finished one with 7 not including the image. And I added eyelets too. Stamping away stress at 4AM. I dont like square ones as the postage is too much. As long as I dont mail them, they are fine.
“Oh pick me pick me”, she says jumping up and down! I have been making tons of square cards recently! I am not even sure why, maybe it is all that extra space for creation! Trifolds are my next fav but I reserve those for real SPECIAL cards for people like you Beate *wink*
Alli
WOW…so many hits & it’s no wonder. Your blog is terrific. I’m into the good old square cards. Variety is fun occasionally though.
Linda SS
I really like waterfall cards!
Hi- I LOVE your Blog and your Blog Candy! My favorite cards are different folds especially the trifolds! Thanks for sharing what you love with the rest of us! Hugs Kay
Oh, I love flowers, pick me, pick me. At the moment I am into cards that have holes in the front to see something behind – Window cards I guess you call them?!
Joanna from Australia.
My favorite is the standard size but I like the top fold equally as well as the side fold. Great blog candy – hope I win!
I like the look of square cards….but I’m too cheap to make anything but the traditional sized cards (have tons of that sized envelopes).
Congrats on 125000!! I usually stick with traditional sized cards, altough I make a few long/tall cards from time to time.
I love pocket cards bc they are so much fun ….you can include anything in the pocket..a greeting, a bookmark, a photo. Love your blog beate!
Wow, what blog candy. I know why so many hits, Bette–you are an awesome talent and we love seeing what you do–it is like being in the company of a celebrity!! Anyhow, my favorite card style right now is the spinner card. I think they are darling and everyone loves them. Thanks for the blog.
Cheryl
Personally, I love the square cards because of their symmetry!

I love making tall card and I really just love the good ol’ standad 4.25×5.5. Oh I also like 5.5×4.25, those are fun! -Michelle
Right now, I am loving the tri-fold card! I made one at my last stamp camp and the gals loved it! I do like the square card too! I am off to make one today! Thank you for the inspiration!
I think it is so fun to try something new,I like slider cards But i usually try to stick to standard size …Thanks so much at the chance to win !!!
Beate:
I have to say my favorites have become the square cards as well. Just somthing about them make them stand out to me. I also have enjoyed making the trifold cards although I still have a problem with the darn measurements…one of these days I’ll get them!

Right now I love the trifold card where you use the slit punch to hold the card closed! Congratulations on so many hits! Your site is an absolute inspiration for creativity and challenges. Please keep creating your tutorials – we love them!
Mine is really boring, but I’m always drawn back to the traditional tall tent card. Great candy!
Wow, congratulations, i have only just started card making and with limited supplies can only dream of making cards half as nice as what I see on these wonderful bloggs but without this terrific inspiration i dont think i would know where to even start. I have just made my first tri-fold card and love them. Have a great day. Andrea
My favorites are the square cards. LOVE THEM!!! Beate thanks for your daily inspiration. You are a true artist.
I LOVE the square cards and I love, love, love your blog and ideas! Thank you for endlessly sharing your talent with us!
my favs are the old standby 4.25 x 5.5 & 3×3. I do love the tri fold and pocket cards I have been seeing so I’ll need to venture out of my comfort zone!!! I do so love your blog and the inspiration you provide. Thanks for the chance at blog candy
Fresh and Fun Freebies……what a great name!!! My fave card right now has got to be the long cards. It used up more cardstock and paper, but heck, it’s not like I’m short on it!! Bwahahahaaaa!
I like the 4 X 5 1/2 although I like to change that card up alot. Trim here, slit punch there….makes it’s more interesting. Congrats!!!! Thanks for sharing with all of us.
Congratulations Beate! It’s amazing how fast the numbers have climbed for you but not surprising as you have such a talent that we all want to see what you come up with next!

I’m very into square cards these days… but I’m sure I’ll be very into something else soon… isn’t that always the way! Love your blog!
Beate,
Love your website and your cards. I would have to say I like the slider cards. They are a little tedious but you always get a: “WOW, did you really make that?” That makes it worth the time and effort.
Thanks for all your great posts!
I too love the square cards. . .but wish it wasn’t so hard to find envelopes for them. Or that it takes more postage to mail them. But Love the look of them!!
Congrats!!
I LOVE movable/interactive cards!
HI Beate, I love the square cards the most. I go back and forth between the 3″ and 4″ squares, but they are my very favorite to make and to get! Wow, 125,000 hits. Congratulations! Awesome job and one awesome blog! Thanks!!!!
Hope you had a great birthday!!!!! =)
My favorite type is probobly some sort of square, such as a 3×3 or 5×5! They are just easy and fun to work with!! Congrats on all the hits!! Love your blog!
-Lauren
I love all the cards you make,congratulations on your number of hits but I would expect nothing less with your talent. I guess my favorite cards are the slider cards. Great blog candy and keep up the good work
Congrats on reaching 125,000! That’s a lot of visits to your site!!
I love all sorts of novelty cards. They are fun to make; they are different and everyone enjoys receiving them. Right now, I am “into” spinner cards…easy and fun to make.
Heh Beate:
Nice to hear that you are on the road to recovery…AS for my favorite type of card…I am going to go with the trifold..or the pocket card. I like things with WOW factor. The trifold cards offer that for sure! When I made all those thank you cards..EVERYONE loved them! Freebies!!@ pick me pick me..random number selector!
xoxo

ooowhh! It stinks to have headache like that. Thank you, thank you for sharing all you cards. It is always refreshing to visit the blogs–yours and the ones you link us to! Have a great week. lorijane
Congratulations Beate! I like square cards although I don’t make many of those (because of the extra postage for the square envelopes). However, recently I saw a post in someone’s blog on how to modify your rectangular envelope so that your square card isn’t “dancing” inside. I think that’s convinced me to do more square cards! Sandra
I love the trifold. Great blog- keep up the good work!
I think 3×3 are probably my favorite. They are easy, yet don’t have the look of the average card. Love checking your BLOG every morning. Thanks for all of the inspiration.
I would have to say my favorite would be anything tiny and/or unique. For some reason anything on the tiny side just tends to be cuter. 🙂
I haven’t tried the square cards yet, but you’ve inspired me — it’s time for a 3×3….or SEVERAL! 8^) Thanks for your great examples. I love how clear your photos are, tool
I’m groovin’ on the SU long notes with the small open ended envelopes..I’ve tried ’em..now I love them! Great blog..thanks for all the inspiration!
Square cards catch my eye for some reason.
Beata:
I love square cards, although when I’m in a hurry forget to make them since the standard 4-1/4 X 5-1/2 cuts so easily. I also love making the unusual fold ones or anything that make the card a little unusual. I love the various tutorials you have written to help expand my selection. Thanks again for all your direction and inspiration.
Congrats once again on your amazing blog! My favorite card size are the square ones, but I usually end up being in a hurry and going with the standard A2 size (boring but true!)
Lois H
I like cards in different shapes, such as stars and triangles, etc. Fun!
WOW!! I REALLY hope I’m not too late!! Square cards would have to be my favorite!! Thanks, Cheryl
I love your work! I have just recently come across your website and I check it all the time! I think my favorite card is the waterfall card, that was the card that got me hooked to card making! Thanks for all of your generosity!
i love square cards… so, of course i also like the trifold, because it’s square before u open it, and then inside, there are more little squares! =)
Hello there;
I must say, I really don’t have a favourite. I love them all!!!
Heather
Right now I’d have to say that I like square cards the most. They are so easy to make! But that’ll change here shortly I am sure. Congratulations on reaching 125,000 hits!!!
Wow Beate, 125,000 that is amazing and well deserved, I love your trifold cards you do and I love to make them as well, thanks for such awesome inspiration
Congrats!!
I don’t have alot of time to get much stamping done, so I usually stick to the traditional size…although I love the look of the square cards and the cards with unusual folds.
Heather L.
My favorite cards are square cards… I’m also liking the trifold cards, I just need to find some time to play around and make some cards. Congrats on the 125K!! That’s amazing! ~Crystal M.
Beate, First of all, happy belated birthday. Best wishes for many more! I haven’t made many square cards as of yet, but do enjoy the taller cards that fit in the large open-ended envelopes.
Congrats on 125,000 hits.
125,000 hits… WOW !! It’ll take me 20 years to get that many! LOL Congrats !!
I adore square cards most…. I just find them so much easier to work with. But I have to admit, I usually make them only to find I don’t have an envelope to match!
Wow you hit 125 so quickly!
I love trifolds and traditional 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 but folded on the short end (gives more of a wow-factor!)
Love your blog – keep it up!
Congrats on all the hits. I still like the traditional square cards, although I do like to change it up a bit every now and then and experiment with others.
I like the look of square cards, but don’t make many. Also like the criss-cross and tri-folds, and of course pocket cards. I love ’em all! Love your blog – it’s the best!
I made a beautful pocket card using the Bundles of Joy set for a friend a while back, so I would have to say pocket card is my fav!
Your blog is great! Congrats on hitting 125,000. Happy Day to you!!!
My fav type would be square or the size that fits the Sm Open-end envelopes – just something different than the regular sized cards. I like the special fold-type cards, but never seem to get them to look right. Congrats on the milestone hits!
My favorite card is anything that moves or hides!
thanks for the chance to win.
Congratulations Beate! I check your blog regularly and I’m so happy for you. I love square cards! I just like how symetrical they can be when you use them for a project.
I love square cards! My wedding invitations were even square. I particularly like 5″ square cards. Seem to be the perfect size, a little more room to play than an A2 and 6″ square cards seem a little too big to fill up. I love your blog, I visit everyday. I really appreciate that you post something everyday and I LOVE your toots!
Other than the standard card – my favorite type would be a bigger 4×6 card or a square card.
Way to go Beate!
I especially like the square cards.
Congratulations!
Leslie
Way to go Beate! I’m with you on the square cards, wish the envelopes for them were a little more economical.
My favorite shape of card is definitely square, but being that it costs more to send with a matching envelope and the fact that I’m now a SU demonstrator and can get 2 cards out of one sheet of carstock if I use the standard size, I rarely make them. Thanks for the goodies!
I love square cards – just wish they didn’t require extra postage!
Congrats on the number of hits — that’s to be expected what with your talent. Thanks for sharing with us.
Favorite card type – spinner.
I love interesting folds as surprises on cards and Cami’s tri fold and your tutorial can’t be beat. Congrats Beate on an amazingly quick rise in hits! Not surprising to all us fans!
congratulations on you number of hits. i love the trifold cards.
Hello, Don’t know if I made it on time. I check your blog everyday but some how I didn’t see this post. OOOps!
Congrats on your 125,000 hits!
Smiles,
Nancy Grant

Congrats on 125,000 hits. You are AWESOME!!! I love your blog and all of your tutorials. You have helped me becoem a better stamper and card maker. THANK YOU!!!
Wow!!! Congratulations on all of your blog hits! Thanks for sharing your stamping and papercrafting knowledge!
Different kind of folding cards. Congrats on your blog hits.
Hope I’m not too late!!! Love your blog….
I love square cards… but they can be trifolds…or other surprize types… designing for a square is just plain fun, and I found someone who showed how to tape a “normal” envelope to use as a square and avoid that extra postage… now the envelope for a square card is so much fun! Definitely the square~
All of these wonderful opportunities to win Blog Candy. I haven’t had the nerve to try a blog yet. Seems like it would be very time consuming for me at this time of my life. But I especially love to read all of them and have gotten so many wonderful ideas from all of the bloggers. I love fancy fold cards. I think my favorite unsual card was a waterfall card once I mastered it.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful inspriations and creativeness
I still like making the reg. size cards,3X3 note cards as well.. Just getting into the different folds now.. Thank you for hosting your blog candy.
I enjoy Square cards, especially with rounded corners!
My favorite card type is either square 4″x4″ or 3″x6″. Both of them are great for stampin’ stack classes or just needing to get cards out fast!
I have to say any card is my favorite card!!! I love all types they are so creative & So MUCH FUN!!! But if I have to choose….I would pick a slider……….GENIOUS!
I love square cards as well! I really enjoy your blog and all of your creative ideas. Thanks so much for sharing!
Well, I guess I’m tooooo late! That certainly was an awesome giveaway. I can’t believe I missed a day and missed out on some blog candy, oh well, such is life. TFS.
I love your blog!
My favorite sized card is a square card. It is so easy to either use a traditional evenly spaced image or an off-center one.
However, to be truthful, my favorite size is probably whatever I am working on at the time!
i personally enjoy regular square card, havent done too many folding of any kind, except for a photo album box thingy i did once. well im not sure if the contest Freebie thing is over but i would like to be added to the drawing. Im new to this so please if anyone has anyt tips on how I enter the freebies or how to make my own blog site i would love that…
I like the square cards but I usually do the tradional size because of the envelopes. Congratulations on all your blog hits. Peggy
