Hulk Card for Operation Write Home

April 20, 2014 Leave a Comment

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.

Operation Write Home VCMP Cards For Kids Challenge

September 4, 2013 2 Comments

2013-09-0413.24.56The challenge on this stop is to make a kiddie card using the tic-tac-toe board
shown below. I choose to go down the center row for my card.  This was a lot of fun to make.  The sheep is from the silhouette store.  The fence is a Martha Stewart punch. It originally had little bats on the posts but I clipped them off so it wouldn’t be just for Halloween. Thank you Scrapping with Purpose for a great challenge.

Operation Write Home VCMP Final Challenge

September 3, 2013 Leave a Comment

Hi, The final challenge is to use a negative of a die or punch.

2013-08-13 07.58.13I used the negative cut of my shape on the butterfly paper and stamped my sentiment in the space created when I taped it onto my card. I used a Martha Stewart stamp for the butterfly, colored it with Tombow Dual Brush pens and hand cut it out.

Valentine’s Day Card

February 6, 2013 3 Comments

Hi,

Today I made a Valentine’s Day card for my mom.  She loves her coffee so I thought this would be perfect for her. I am enclosing a Dunkin Donuts card inside (her favorite place).  I used my Silhouette Cameo and a cut file from the on-line store to create the cup. The punch is a Martha Stewart heart border punch. I also used Martha Stewart red embossing powder for the sentiment. The paper is from K&Company. I used My Creative Time Gift Card Sentiments for the stamp.

This was so easy to put together. I cut two of the cups, one in white and one in the print, and paper pieced them together. I used pop dots to adhere the cup to give it some dimension.

I am entering this card in Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific 2013-02-06 09.42.01-3Tuesday Challenge and Dynamic Duos Color Challenge.

Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown Winter Fun

November 30, 2012 Leave a Comment

2012-10-14 20.00.41This week OWH challenged us to make Winter themed cards that are fun for our heroes to send home
to their family and friends! I made both of these cards using the Cricut Very Merry Tags cartridge.  I had a lot of fun using this cartridge and plan on making several other cards from the cuts on it.  I used a little liquid pearl to add a bit of pop to the snowflake and his eyes.  The second card is a try fold card. I used my cuddlebug snowflake folder for the background.  I made the button with a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment on the first card is a Fiskars stamp.

2012-10-14 20.01.42

I plan on making a few more of these to include in my box of cards to OWH.

Halloween trifold card

September 5, 2012 Leave a Comment

Hi everyone,
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
