Get Sentimental – OWH Challenge

By Yvonne

  • Stamps – Verve “American Hero” set
  • Die cut – Spellbinder’s Nestabilities “Lacey Squares”
  • Patterned paper – American Crafts “Campy Trails: Elk Creek Trail”
  • Ribbon – American Crafts “Lemon”
  • Cardstock – Worldwin and Bazzill

This card sort of fell together. I had all of the pieces and just put them together in sort of a patriotic design. I made this for the current December ODBD Challenge at Operation Write Home. The challenge is to use the sentiment as the main focal point of the card. Since I don’t even include sentiments on the outsides of some of my cards, this WAS a challenge! Thanks for the visit and I’ll see you soon.

Unscripted Sketches – Sketch #130

By Yvonne

  • Patterned papers – BoBunny “Enchanted” collection from their 6″ X 6″ pad
  • Die cuts – Spellbinder’s Nestabilities “Standard Circles” and “Lacey Circles”
  • Stamp – Inky Antics “Thank You”
  • Silver metal stickers – Mark Richards

I was inspired by Unscripted Sketch #130 for this card. I love the paper piecing of this sketch with this BoBunny paper collection. The small print really lends itself to this kind of design. This was another Design Team card for Stampin’ Cat Studio. Thanks for visiting.

OWH Sketch #87 Challenge

By Yvonne

  • Stamps – JRL Design “Fly Fishing” and “Fly Fishing 2” (flies) and Memory Box “Fishing Pole,” The Cat’s Pajamas “TuTu Much Clear Set: Thank You”
  • Patterned cardstock – Die Cuts with a View “Old World Mat Stack”
  • Solid cardstock – Bazzill

I created this card for Operation Write Home, using the current OWH Sketch Challenge: #87. I haven’t used these stamps in ages, so this was a fun challenge for me. This is a very simple design and I had to find the appropriate size and orientation in my stamp stash. I was able to use some of my scraps, which was a good feeling! Thank you for visiting.
