OWH – All About Animals Challenge

  • Stamps – Memory Box “Penguins at Play,” and Hero Arts “Whimsical Happy Birthday”
  • Patterned paper – Imaginisce “En fuego: Rrrrumba” (both sides)
  • Die cut – Spellbinders Nestabilities “Lacey Circles”
  • Cardstock – Bazzill

This is another card I made for a challenge at the July 4th virtual cardmaking party at OWH. This one is for Challenge #16: All About Animals. This Memory Box penguin stamp set is pretty fun, since I can “dress up” the penguin with a couple of different ties and hats, and even swimming trunks! I thought a birthday card would be appropriate, since I didn’t have any in my current OWH box. Thanks for visiting.

This pinwheel pattern was another OWH 4th of July challenge that I was able to make today during the virtual cardmaking party. This is Pinwheel #3, the third pinwheel pattern published on the site. These pinwheels have all been great and really fun to make. Special thanks to Kate for providing another nice tutorial, as she does every Tuesday at OWH Stars and Stamps.
