Hi all,
Today is the World Card Making Day Bloghop with Operation Write Home.
Bloghop theme: Make thank you cards based on one of our OWH sketches.
I choose bonus sketch #5 for my card. I used Recollections paper from Michaels,My Cricut Expression and the Cricut Paisley cart for the scallop border, Spellbinders die, My Creative TIme button die, Cuttlebug . Studio G sentiment stamp and some raffia for the ribbon.
I hope everyone is enjoying the hop!!
Hi,
I have been busy making cards for Operation Write Home. This week’s challenge was to make a card with a fun fold. I chose a swing birthday cake card that I got from the 
on-line store. I decorated the front of the card with Tim Holtz distress inks. I used the cut outs for the cake as masks for the front. The icing layer on the front of the card was a Martha Stewart stamp I purchased during Halloween. I love using my stash for things other than what they were intended for. I used Recollections paper for the base and
insi
de of the card. I added a little stickles to the candles on the front.
I had a lot of fun making this card.
Hi,
I made this card for the Dynamic Duo’s color challenge. We were to use the color combination turquoise and black. It is hard to see in my picture but the outfits were colored with turquoise and black. The stamps are from Close to My Heart. I used Tombow dual brush pens and Recollections paper. I love the sentiment. It is sooo true. LOL
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.
