- Patterned paper – My Mind’s Eye “Collectible: Memorable ‘Hello’ Cordial Paper” (both sides)

This is my last penguin card for a little while. I used another Cat’s Pajamas stamp and colored the image with Copic markers. I doubled-up the Vintage Labels die cuts for a little change. This is the final penguin card for Operation Penguin at Operation Write Home (OWH). There is a Brigadier General who has a certain fondness for penguins, and he has requested that we send penguin cards for his unit to send home. And many of us are happily fulfilling his request. This week’s Shopping Our Stash Challenge #134 is to make Miss You cards. I pulled this penguin stamp out of my stash unused! I’ve had it for a long time, too! The sentiment is one that I’ve used a number of time for OWH, and I found the patterned paper amid many other sheets of paper! I successfully shopped my stash, down to the little scrap of ribbon! Thanks for visiting today.

We need a sunny card during these cold Winter days! For this one, I used the OWH Sketch #206 at the Stars and Stamps blog and some paper from a My Mind’s Eye 6 X 6″ paper pad. The colors make the card appropriate for a recipient of either gender. Thanks for visiting today.

I created this cheery card with Sketch #205 at Operation Write Home (OWH) Stars & Stamps. This would be a nice card for a child to receive from a hero, with the cute animal and bright colors! I still haven’t figured out if this is a raccoon, skunk or maybe a chipmunk! I’m thinking chipmunk! Any help there would be appreciated! Thanks for stopping by today.

Here is another “love” card for Operation Write Home. I used OWH sketch #204 for this card and colored the cute little fox from Lawn Fawn with Copic markers. I popped up all of the circles with some dimensional adhesive and distressed the edges of my papers with Pumice Stone distress ink from Ranger. Thanks for visiting today.

- Stamp – from Penny Black “Loads of Love” set
- Patterned papers – from My Mind’s Eye “Hootenanny” 6 X 6″ paper pad
- Cardstock – BoBunny Back to Backs (Brilliant Blue Dot)
- Sakura Gelly Roll Pen – ClearStar
- (Inside) Action Wobble Spring
This is a fun card for my niece’s birthday. Although it is difficult to see (I refrained from including a little video showing the boing action of the spring-y sentiment inside!), the sentiment on the interior of the card wobbles on a little spring. Since I’ve just taken a quick Online Card Classes Insider class, I’m trying to pay more attention to the innards of my cards. I’ve had these little springs, so I wanted to use one for this. Below is a photo of the inside sentiment. I used Sketch 105 at Freshly Made Sketches for my design inspiration, and added a little sparkle with the Gelly Roll pen on the main image and the dotted line border around it. Thanks for visiting today!

This week’s Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Midweek Throwdown challenge was to create Friendship cards. I showcased some pretty floral papers for this one and created a focal point with the sentiment. Hopefully it will cheer the recipient up a little. Thanks for visiting today.

I just had to put together a card! It has been a full week since I’ve really done anything (or at least finished it) with paper! I liked playing with these patterned papers and this sketch. The sketch is the Clean & Simple #252. The color scheme is a little unusual for me, but I just used the multi-colored paper as my guide. Thanks for visiting today.

Welcome!
I hope you are enjoying your weekend by hopping among many card-making blogs. We are all making Thank You cards using OWH sketches. These cards, like 2 million others, will be shipped to deployed soldiers to send back home. Thank you cards are a favorite of our heroes to send home. Here is what I came up with.
- Stamps – Sentiment: Purple Onion Designs – “PF05” and mouse image – Rubber Soul “Mouse”
- Patterned papers – My Mind’s Eye “Happy Day” 6 X 6″ paper pad
- Cardstock – Bazzill
I used OWH Sketch #123 for this card. I like all of the elements in the design which provides opportunity to use different patterns and solids. I invite you to create something with this sketch as well–even if you did when it was first posted in May 2012 on Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps. To continue hopping, please return to the OWH bloghop page by clicking here or on the banner at the top of this post. Have a great time!
Here is another inspired by the same sketch:
- Stamps – My Mind’s Eye “Find Your Wings and Fly: Up and Away” set
- Patterned papers – My Mind’s Eye “Find Your Wings and Fly: Sky’s the Limit and Up and Away”
- Border punch – Stampin’ Up “Scallop Edge”
- Cardstock – Bazzill
- Button – Basic Grey
- Twine – Doodlebug Designs
