handcrafted cards . . .heartfelt expressions
Hi all,
I have 12 cards ready to mail for the #Cards4Love-Christmas in July project. Ken and George from Crafts By Two are organizing the event. If you would like to take part you can find the information at http://bit.ly/Cards4Love. You can also make cards for the soldiers to receive. This is a wonderful way to give to two very special groups of people.
Here are the cards I made so far.
Hi all,
I have 50 cards ready to mail out to Operation Write Home. They are all stamped with OWH stamp, tucked properly in their envelopes and ready for the troops to use. I have included cards for birthdays, missing you, kids cards, thinking of you, love and thank you.
Here are pictures of some of the cards.
Hi all,
Operation Write Home requested we make a card with a kite for their Midweek Throwdown: Go Fly A Kite! I thought this cute bird flying a kite was perfect for it. I used the cut and print feature of my Cameo to cut the design. I added lots of additional color with Tombow dual brush pens. I also added some glimmer with Glossy Accents. The card is an A2 size . I printed the sentiment using my computer.
Please consider making cards for this great organization. The soldiers also enjoy getting any hero mail.
Hi all,
Today I made a shaped birthday card using LD Birthday Fishes file. I brought the image of the Octopus to the Cameo mat. Then I made 2 offsets to get the layers for the image to sit on. I duplicated the image and moved to the side. Then I created a box for the image to be welded to. Once that was done, I mirrored the image to the left and welded the two shapes to form the card. I used the cut and print feature to create the water with the sentiment. I separated the duplicated image ( saved from above) and cut each layer out. I then cut all the layers out and assembled the card. I was able to match the colors for the layers by using the eyedropper and color bucket in the silhouette.
I am sending this card to OWH. I think it will make a great kid card. I am submitting this card in Creative Cutting Challenge #36 Anything Goes, Craftin Desert Diva’s color challenge, PDE Linky Party #12 Beach, Silhouette Challenges #14 Shaped Card
Hi all,
Today is Operation Write Home’s Memorial Day BlogHop. You can follow along here. http://wp.me/p2kUr6-4o6 We were asked to make a card for the hop using the colors red, white and blue. I used this cute little girl and part of a card base from the silhouette on-line store. I used my Cameo to color and then print and cut the design. As this was a paper piecing image, I had to assemble and add color to each piece. It was easier than cutting each piece out of card stock as some of the pieces are very small. I used a CardzTv stamp for the missing you sentiment. I hope you all enjoy the hop!
Hi all,
I hope you all had a great Easter. The weather here was perfect and my grandchildren had a blast looking for their eggs. Spending time with family and making memories is what it is all about.
I made this card with SVG Cutting files Hulk image. I love their images. They come together easily. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the image and the print and cut feature to print and cut the sentiment. I think this will be perfect for a little boy and will add several of these to my box of cards for Operation Write Home. It is an A2 size card and the image was cut at approximately 3 inches. I used Tim Holtz distress inks on the edges. The gate is a Martha Stewart punch.
Hi all,
Operation Write Home’s Challenge for it Midweek Throwdown is Masculine Cards any theme. They are in need of some missing you cards. I decided to use this SVGCutting files image for my card. I love the SVG Cutting files images. They are very easy to assemble. I used the cut and print feature on my Cameo to make the sentiment. I made several of these cards to add to my box of cards for the troops.
Operation Write Home is a non-profit organization that sends handmade blank cards to the troops so they can write home to their love ones.
Hi all,
Operation Write Home’s Midweek Throwdown is a Color Challenge. They requested we use pastel colors to create a card for our troops to use to write home. I used my Cameo and the print and cut feature to cut out these cute owls from Miss Kate Cuttables. The bow is a die from My Creative Time.
Hi all,
This week we were challenged to use an element of nature on our cards for our heroes to send home to their love ones. I used the snowmen from Dollar Graphics Depot file called Frosty Long Stocking. I think the images and their sentiments are adorable. The scallop frame is from the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge. I love this cartridge. It has some really nice shapes.
