I made this card as a sample card for the February 1st Midweek Throwdown at Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps. I love the Memory Box dies that have come on the market in recent times; these have such intricate detail! The diecuts are really the centerpiece and I popped-up the sentiment and added some faux stitching around the edges to finish it off. Thanks for visiting and be sure to participate in the challenge.

I used the Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps Sketch #106 to create this card. It features a digital image that is part of the current Crafter’s Digital Art Center Progressive Freebie Challenge. This particular image is from Digis by Phooka. I’ve been just waiting to use the twine on a card that I got fairly recently from the Cat’s Pajamas. Thanks for visiting!

I was inspired by the current sketch over at Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps: Sketch #105, when I made this card. This is a very simple design that showcases the pretty die cut. I was able to use some paper I’ve had for quite awhile, which is always a good thing. Thanks for stopping by.

I made this card using Sketch #104 at Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps. I colored the stamp direct to rubber with water-based marker, then sprayed it with Perfect Pearls Mist. I stamped it on watercolor paper so when the color bled a bit the paper held the ink and water nicely. Thanks for stopping by.

I just got my hands on these Memory Box dies and was “dying” to use them! So I put them to work for the OWH Floral Fantasy challenge. I used really bright colors and the navy blue background shows off the amazing detail you can get making these die cuts. Thanks for visiting.

I made this butterfly following a Origami Butterfly Tutorial I would highly recommend on Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps. As many of you may be aware, I’m a bit challenged by folding and often have to turn to my 13-year old son to help me out, as he is an Origami master! However, I’m very proud to report that I was able to fold this little guy all by myself! Added some faux stitching for good measure. Thanks for stopping by.
