Floral Sticker Card 4

The final card I made with a set of small floral stickers that were in a grab bag
of goodies I bought from a flea market earlier this year. I trimmed the wording off because it was too tiny to read easily. I meant to put a dark layer between the white background and the embossed piece............. oops! The double stick tape stuck too well as soon as I started laying it on, hadn't even pressed it into place and it was stuck. There was no way I was going to remove it without damaging the card front. I thought about using an ultra thin fine point marker and straight edge to go around on the white. There is plenty of room to do that since the cream piece was trimmed small enough for that other layer. Sure as I try it, I'll ruin the card so I'll leave it alone ;)


Thanks for looking!

Floral Sticker Card 3

Third card I made and donated to Operation Write Home using a sheet of stickers that were in a grab bag I bought at a flea market earlier this year. I did trim the words from around the floral images, I thought they were far too tiny. I added a hand stamped sentiment to the front of this card (stamp image from Stampin' Up!, no longer available).

Thanks for looking =)

Floral Sticker Card 2

Another card donated to Operation Write Home and using stickers as the focal points.

Floral Sticker Card 1

This is a card that I donated to Operation Write Home. The floral image is a sticker. I bought a grab bag of goodies from a flea market earlier this year that contained lots of stickers. I don't use stickers, so I challenged myself to come up with a few cards with some of them (I'll be sharing others I created over the next couple of days). The color palette is very similar to the one chosen for the current challenge at House Of Cards.

Be inspired by the colors or use a food image for your card

and share it with us before the challenge closes on July 31st.

Thanks for looking =)

321

 Three hundred and twenty one - my total count of cards sent in my final box donated to Operation Write Home last week. I just received confirmation of my package being received on Saturday.

 I couldn't stuff another card in the large priority mail box, it was overfilled. I would like to have kept making cards for another couple of weeks, but unless I send in another small package, there was just no room. I see the latest challenges posted at OWH and have to stop myself from making a card ;) Thanks again to everyone that has helped in one way or the other over the years at Operation Write Home!

Neon Orange Thank You Cards

One of several sets of neon cards I made for 

Operation Write Home

(yeah, I know, neon is so 2014! or was it 2013?

definitely the 1980's ).

I had the best intentions of using the neon ribbon I found on clearance

last year on these neon cards I've been making, 

but most of them don't have any ribbon on them ! 

That's okay, it makes them more mail friendly. 

Neon acrylic craft paint on foam rubber stamps

for the background images. 

Permanent black ink on vellum for the sentiment.

Thanks for looking =) 

Patriotic Thank You Card- CAS

Super simple thank you card made to donate to 

Operation Write Home.

The blue and red strips are leftovers from

another patriotic card making project. 

Stamp image is an old one from Stampin' Up!

and is stamped in silver metallic Encore ink.

Sure was weird not going to the craft dungeon to work on 

at least one card to donate to Operation Write Home today.

My final box of 321 cards will be received at headquarters today.

I'll still be sharing many of those cards here on the blog.

My new design team duties at 

House Of Cards

and JMC Designs will help

fill the creative void.

Hopefully I'll be able to complete

some of my photo albums, too. 

Thanks for looking =)
