We are gathering our Fall and Winter holiday cards for Operation Write Home now. The troops need a lot of holiday cards, so we are challenged to make them now for the shippers. So we begin with the OWH Christmas in July challenge to get us going. I chose this is a fun stamp set from The Cat’s Pajamas to get me going, since it not only has this dog, but it has a cat and a few PENGUINS, too! I colored the image with Copics and finished off the edging around the green paper with opaque white pen “stitching.” Thanks for visiting and Happy Howlidays!

I made this card using the latest sketch on Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps. This is my interpretation of Sketch #76. I colored the hot air balloon and cloud stamped images with Copic markers. I inked the edges with Colorbox Chalk inks to finish them off. Thanks for checking in.

- 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”

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.
