THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE

Hi dear friends. I am popping in for a quick post to share my Paper Smooches card for this week.

(A2: Stamps:  Paper Smooches (Circle of Honor); Die: Spellbinders; Star: Heidi Swapp)

I wanted one more AnyHero card to go in my Operation Write Home box, so I used the PS Circle of Honor sentiment to make this simple card. I had inked the star in Brick Red a while back and never used it. So, I added Blue Denim and ended up with a deep blue that worked with the papers.

Thanks for stopping by.

MM364: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

Hello  dear friends! I have a quick post today to share my card  for the Mojo Monday challenge:

(A2: Stamps:  Verve (Thank you) and Stampers Best (Thank You For Your Service Rubber Stamp); DSP: K&Co (Julianne)) 

I am trying to finish up my September box of cards for Operation Write Home and needed more AnyHero cards, so I chose the Mojo Monday sketch and came up with this. I wanted to stick with fall colors so I used the DSP from K & Co and mounted on a dark brown card base. I hope you like my card!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!

Hello dear friends!  I fee so honored this week! Operation Write Home used my card (here) to create this week’s sketch!  How awesome is that? I made another AnyHero card again this week:

(A2: Stamps: Paper Smooches (Many Thanks); DSP: MME Memorable: Dies: Spellbinders (Scalloped Square and Circle); L’il Inker Designs (Stitched Heart)

I used a bunch of the stamps from Many Thanks to create the design on the circle and two more stamps to create the sentiment. Some stitching and I pretty much followed the sketch, so really easy card.

VLVWk3: HUMBLED BY YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE

Hello crafty friends. Welcome to a new week and a rainy day here in NC. I can’t complain though, it has been so hot and dry the cooler air and rain for the plants has been a welcomed relief. Today, I have an AnyHero card that I made using the Viva la Verve sketch for July week 3 which is a sketch AND inspiration challenge:

(A2: Stamps:  Verve (American Hero); DSP: SN@P  (Short Stories); EF: Cuttlebug; Die: Taylored Expressions; Cut files: Silhouette Studio)

I am trying to get this box of cards shipped to Operation Write Home this week, so I want to make sure I have plenty of AnyHero cards for it! I dry embossed the base white panel. The stars were cut on my Cameo and the little dotted, scalloped border is from Taylored Expressions.

Hello again! This is my second post and this card is for Cards in Envy and Mojo Monday:

(A2: Stamps:  Verve (American Hero); DSP: Heidi Swapp (Favorite Things; Die: Paper Smooches)

The theme at Cards in Envy is Stars and Stripes. I chose to use a non-traditional color combo, but wanted to make it an AnyHero card, so I used the Verve sentiment. I can’t get enough of this set! I combined this with the Mojo Monday sketch and added fussy cut stars and a Heidi Swapp star.

OWH232: ANYHERO AND SUMMER

Hi my blogging friends! Happy Monday! I am popping in with a really quick post to share my Operation Write Home cards.

First up is my AnyHero for this week:

(A2: Stamps: Verve (American Hero); DSP: Heidi Swapp (Favorite Things))

OK, I keep saying I am not buying any more DSP until I use up what I have, but I saw this 6x6 pad and just HAD to have it LOL. Oh, did I say it was on sale? How can a girl resist! I really love the colors and patterns and decided to use this for a summer AnyHero card.

 

(A2; Stamps: Doodle Pantry (Cheeseburger Ants COLOR plus)

Next up is a summer card. I already had everything printed and ready to make a card, but have not had time to make it. So, I decided today was a good time so I can get it in this next box and beat the deadline for summer cards.

Thanks for stopping by!

OWH231: LAND OF THE FREE…..

Hello my dear friends! Happy Tuesday and Happy July! Are you all ready for the Independence Day celebrations? I am making AnyHero cards this week, that is when I have time. I am also working on a quilling project. Anyway, here is my card for today:

(A2: Stamps: Verve (American Hero); DSP: Scraps)

I think American Hero has gotten more use than any other stamp set I have! For this card, I heat embossed the sentiment on the red card stock. The base panel is a piece of one of those Tim Holtz emboss resist papers. I used blue and red DI on it and stitched it to a red border. I pretty much just followed the sketch and added a bunch of stitching and dots and stars. I hope you like it!

I AM THANKFUL

Hi dear crafty friends. Popping in for a quick post here on Saturday. I hope your weekend is a blast!
Here is my Mojo Monday card for this week:

(A2; Sentiment: Silhouette; Paper: Simple Stories (Sn@p); Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon)

Well, I finished up another box of cards for Operation Write Home and this is one of the AnyHero cards I included. Since it will be a few weeks before anyone receives this card, I decided to switch to a fall theme. I LOVED that sketch this week! Since this is going to a deployed soldier, I thought this was a good autumn sentiment. What do you think?
Thanks for stopping by!
