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!

YOU’RE OTTER THIS WORLD

Hi dear friends! I hope your weekend has been going well. I am dropping in to let you know that Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the challenge at Operation Write Home this week! I made a card using the OWH sketch and here it is:

(A2; Digital stamp set: Doodle Pantry (Water Otter ) includes digital papers, images and sentiment; Die: Spellbinders; Lace/Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon)

How adorable is that little guy? I merged the image and the sentiment onto some of the included digital papers, followed the sketch, cut the sentiment with a Spellbinders, added Liquid Pearls and a tiny bow.

HAVE A BOOTIFUL DAY

Wow, I can’t believe it is time to start on holiday cards, but I realized my Operation Write Home cards need to change seasons! This one can be used for Halloween or maybe just an any occasion since it doesn’t really say Halloween on it:

(A2; Stamps: Doodle Pantry (Candy Corn Ants COLOR) set includes image, paper and sentiment; Ribbons: Really Reasonable Ribbon; Die: Spellbinders)

I picked one of Doodle Pantry’s older sets for this card. I wanted to make something that could be used for fall and have always loved this cute image.

This was a super quick card to make since I used the OWH sketch. Cut an oval using the Oval Spellbinders and placed image in negative space. A little bling and a small bow and it was done! If you haven’t used OWH’s sketches before, you should check them out. They have dimensions of all pieces to help make it a quick card.

IT’S TIME TO BE {INK}SPIRED!

Hello dear crafters! Today is Wednesday so that means it is time for a little {ink}spiration from Inkspirational’s challenge #29. It's the third week of our challenge month and that means we've got a CASE for you to be inkspired by (and surprise, surprise! The inspirational CASE card is by ME!)

I know you will want to see all the gorgeous creations from our DT so be sure to check out their cards at Inspirational to be inspired! Now here is my DT card.

(A2; Butterfly: Silhouette; Border Punch: Martha Stewart; Lace: Really Reasonable Ribbon; White flower: Inspired by Stamping)

I wanted to stick to the same basic colors, but then decided to go with gold and green. I kept the same background (made using the Wax Paper Resist technique), the flourish, the vertical band and the flower. I decided on no sentiment on this card because it is going to Operation Write Home and the soldiers need cards that can be used for any occasion. 

Thanks for stopping by! I can’t wait to see what you do with the CASE!

Here's our photo inkspiration~
