I made this card with OWH Sketch #103. I used the “Shore Cliff” set that I’ve had for years, and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I popped up the shell pieces and the sentiment with dimensional adhesive. Thanks for stopping by.

- Stamps – Waxing Nostalgia (Rubber City Rubber) “Butterflies are Free” and Little Yellow Bicycle “Elegant”
- Ranger Distress inks – Milled Lavendar, Dusty Concord and Victorian Velvet
- Cardstock – Bazzill
- Perfect Pearls Mist – Biscotti
- Watercolor paper
This technique was part of the latest lesson in the Clean and Simple Cardmaking class I’m taking. It involves stamping and heat embossing the images and then colorblocking the background with Distress Inks over the white embossing. Very simple and has a very cool watercolor effect with a little sparkle from the Perfect Pearls. This was the card I learned on–so I’m hoping my next one is a little bit better! Thanks for joining me today.

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’m taking an online Clean & Simple cardmaking class, which has really been fun so far–although I’m already behind! That job just gets in the way of my fun! Anyway, this card is really neat because it is pretty much all designed with ink. I even colored the paper with the stamped ink color and punched out the crowns to match the background ink. Special thanks to Jennifer McGuire who shared the sketch for this card in the class at Online Card Classes. Thanks for visiting.

I made this card at the request of Lisa, the owner of Stampin’ Cat Studio. It will be one of many cards featured in the store showcasing new products at the open house there (called “What’s New, Pussycat?”). I used white embossing powder on white cardstock. I rubbed four different colors of Colorbox Chalk Ink over the image, blending the colors together. Then I trimmed it and mounted it on cardstock, popping it up with dimensional adhesive over a color-blocked background. Super simple, but lots of texture. And the star of our show is none other than Moonlight! I think this may be her debut here! Thanks for stopping by.

I used the current sketch, #222, at Mojo Monday as my inspiration for this card. I combined teal and purple for an interesting color pallette. I’ve used three different patterned papers, all from the BoBunny “Enchanted” collection. These are all black and white, so the teal and purple brighten the card up considerably. Thanks for stopping by.

This card is mostly layers of white with a little accent of light blue and the image is stamped in black ink. I edged the white die cut with pale blue chalk ink. I kept it simple and have a sympathy sentiment inside. This card is for a coworker who just lost his grandmother. Thank you for visiting.

This is my first card of 2012. I used the current sketch from OWH Stars and Stamps: Sketch #102. It is nice to start off the year with a fun sketch to play with. Wishing you a very happy 2012!

So this is a pretty loose interpretation of the current sketch (#101) at Operation Write Home. So I’ll call it a banner card and leave it at that! Cutting out my banner was a great way to use little scraps that I just couldn’t throw out. I had lots of patterns going on in these papers, but they all worked together. The banner and sentiment are popped up for some dimension, and the edges of the light cardstock is edged with chalk ink. Thanks for stopping by.
