OWH Sketch Challenge #143 with Tonic Studios!

October 22, 2012 4 Comments

Operation Write Home along with Tonic Studios has challenged us to create a card for our Troops using sketch #143.

Here’s the sketch…

I decided to create a card with a winter theme. I used Close To My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge for the snowflakes and the coordinating winter stamp for the sentiment. I used cuddlebug snowflake embossing folder for the background. I highlighted the embossed snowflakes with Tim Holtz embossing ink. I added liquid pearls to the snowflake to give it a little dimension and sparkle. I embellished the bow with a crystal from Megan Elizabeth | Above Rubies Studio

I love the blue and white colors together. The card measures 4.25 by 5.50.

Comments are always welcome.

VCMP for OWH, ODBD challenge #1

September 1, 2012 2 Comments

I 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.

For this card I used the Martha Stwewart butterfly stamp. The sentiment is an Inkadinkado stamp. I love this sentiment.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Enjoy the three days off. I know I am.

I used the cricut Stand and Salute cartridge to make Patriotic Thinking of You cards for Operation Write Home. I also made several with a female soldier. They requested cards with Patriotic themes and general sentiments that can be used for love, thinking of you, congratulations, miss you etc. These cards can be used for all of those.
