Operation Write Home Blog Hop

I made these cards for Operation Write Home’s blog hop. We were to use a winter theme to make cards that our heroes could use to send home to their love ones.  The first one is made using  Close to My Heart winter sentiment and snowflakes from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. I used liquid pearls to decorate the snowflakes and the ink was one of Megan’s little juicy stamp pads from Above Rubbies Studio.  I love the way the colors match. I added a little stickles to the bottom snowflake and popped up the sentiment and center snowflake to add demension.

The second card was made using the same cartridge and stamp set.  Only this time I used the OWH sketch 139 as my inspiration.  The pattern paper is from Recollections.  I used the liquid pearls again to add demension and sparkle and popped up the center snowflake.

I hope you are enjoying the card hop. Please consider joining us in making cards for our heroes. It is our way of saying thankyou and letting them know we care.  Feel free to leave a comment. I love reading them.

The ghost is from Paper Doll Dress Up also cut at 2.75 inches. I used Matha Stewart gate punch. The ribbon was from my stash from last year. I added the goggly eyes and spider sticker.

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog Trains, Planes and Automobiles

Hi all,

I am loving this wonderful weather here in NJ.  I was inspired to create this card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge when I watched some neighbor children skateboarding today.  We were to create a card using a form of transportation.  I did not want to do the usual modes of travel so I thought skateboarding would be a great alternative.  Hope you enjoy it.  I used the cricut cartridge Everyday Paper Dolls and CTMH stamp It’s Your Day for the sentiment.

I hope your week is going well.
I am working on some Halloween cards for a fun swap at My Fun Crafts.
I was inspired to make trifold cards from a video on Craft e Corner.
My ghost is from Cricut cartridge Paper Doll Dress Up. The cute face is a Peachy Keen stamp. The paper is from my stash from last year. I used Martha Stewart embossing powder for the BOO inside the card.
Hope you have a great first week back to school. Halloween will be here before we know it.
PS. I just received my Fiskateer scissors from Fiskars, a wonderful free gift for becoming a Fiskateer, #9430. Thankyou Fiskars!!!Halloween trifold card

VCMP for OWH, ODBD challenge #1

ODBD challenge #1 for OWHI made this card for Operation Write Home’s Labor Day hop.  ODBD is sponsoring our first challenge.  We were to make a card with an encouraging sentiment.  I love making cards for OWH and encourage you to join us in this very rewarding endeavor.  Helping our troops stay in touch with their  love ones is one way of saying thankyou for all they do.
