OWH VCMP Challenge #7

I know I'm getting out of order on the challenges but with the kids card bingo I drew a blank.  I will come back to that one.  Challenge #7 is hosted by Marilyn over at Blessed Creativity and is looking for a fall themed card without being "Thanksgiving" and to use a leaf motif in fall colors.  I also attempted to use OWH sketch #27, although I think I wandered off a bit.  I DID get the leaf in fall purple.....  :)

OWH VCMP Challenge #5

Ok, I have to admit that I thought this one was a bit odd.  BUT, I did try it.  Click here to see the challenge hosted by Donna where she inks up making tape.  Instead of taping my stamping block I taped a square piece of plywood with 2 different sizes of tape.  I found the wood grain to show through which was nice, however, I then had mo-jo block and couldn't think of one thing to do with it.  I will work on that one later.  This was my second try.

I took a piece of cardstock that I had already embossed with a folder and laid IT into the ink.  Now THAT was what I was looking for!  One other note:  I wiped the ink off the tape with a wet paper towel and set it aside for future use since it was on the wood and not on my stamping block.

OWH VCMP Challenge #4

I made this one last night but waited for better light to take the picture this morning.  I enjoyed this challenge hosted by Annette which is to make a "love" card using OWH sketch #29.  I noticed for some odd reason I hadn't used this one yet. I kind of like it........ guess I will be using it more.  The embellishment is from K&Co and I added Dimensional Magic to the center for a bit of glossy texture.

OWH VCMP Challenge #3

This is challenge is called Triple Die Cutting Technique and is hosted by Seongsook.  I had never tried this before since I don't have the rectangle dies.  But I did have these wavy frames so I thought I could give it a go.  I'm glad the instructions were well written.  I only came up one piece short and that was an easy fix.

OWH VCMP Challenge #2

This second challenge was a bit harder.  Check out the details at Diane's blog.  The idea is to make a card that uses the initials O-W-H.  My card has an Odd number of bling embellishments, and background paper with Writing on it and of course, Hearts.  The green ribbon is a lovely felt and the sentiment is popped as well.  All in Christmasy colors too!  :)

OWH Labor Day VCMP - Challenge #1

Yay!  Today begins the Operation Write Home Labor Day weekend card making party.  There will be challenges throughout the day posted by several of the OWH ladies showing off their talents and inspiring us to make bee-u-tiful cards for our Heroes for the upcoming seasons.  This first one is being hosted by Nancy and it a fun one to try.  Hop on over to her page and play along!

Fall Leaves

I loved this paper!  All the leaves and pinecones are glossy embossed.  That made adding the ink to the outer edges easy and gave a great effect.  I made 6 of these for the box heading out to OWH in the next week. I just have a little more space to fill then out it goes!

2nd Parade of Leftovers for Today

It seems that I have to bunch up my posts as I have time.  So, here is my 2nd Parade of Leftovers for today.

I had enough to make 2 of these.  I love this very old stamp as it makes most any leftovers look good!

 

 

This one is also using Oldie Moldie paper.

 

 

The die cut was found in an old folder as well.  It is popped for some dimension.

 

 

I even got a few Any Hero cards made using the digi from Operation Write Home.

 

 

Stay tuned!  More on the way!  Have a great day and thanks for visiting!
