I made this card for the OWH Virtual Carmaking Party going on right now. This is OWH VCMP Challenge #9: Cut It Out, which means we choose die cuts and punches to use in our card designs. There are a number of cute little furry creatures in this stamp set–hard to just pick two! I colored them with Copics and went on my way. Thanks for stopping by.

We landlubbers are in the midst of a virtual cardmaking party (VCMP) while some of the other OWHers are on a cardmaking cruise. This challenge is one of the first of many: OWH VCMP Challenge #2: Nautical Masculine Card Challenge. I’ve had this stamp set for a while and hadn’t had an opportunity to use it! For some reason I had a thing for that crab! This card can be used for any occasion or just for a note home. Thanks for checking in!

- Die cuts – Made from Memory Box “Valerian Flourish” and “Sofia Heart” steel craft dies
- Stamp – Hero Arts “Live Life” clear set
- Patterned papers – K&Company “Classic K Bailey Mat Pad
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.

- Stamps – Hero Arts “Scattered Leaves” clear set
- Cardstock – Bazzill Basics, Bazzill Dots and Worldwin
- ColorBox Chalk Ink: Charcoal
I made a simple, color-blocked card with this fun sketch from Mojo Monday this week: Mojo Monday Sketch #225. The images in the Hero Arts set lended themselves well to the design and once I stamped each piece, I simply edged them with ColorBox Chalk charcoal ink. I popped each piece up with double-sided tape and Voila! Thanks for visiting.

- Flower brad – Chatterbox “Artsy.Licious Fabulour Brads”
- Cardstock – Bazzill
I made this card for the OWH Color Challenge: Black and White with a splash of another color. I used a bright pink accent with the black and white papers for lots of contrast. I really like the formula of black and white plus one–it always looks very elegant. Thanks for visiting.

- Stamps – Hero Arts “Two Flourish Flowers” and “Everyday Sayings”
- Pearls – KaiserCraft
- Gems – Mark Richards “Lavendar Dots”
This is another take on the technique I learned in the Online Classes Clean and Simple class I’m taking. It is a completely flat card with no layering. I’ve scored lines at the top, bottom and right edge for some visual interest. The image is stamped in white ink and then colored with Prismacolor pencils. I added the pearls and gem stickers for a little bit of dimension, but it is definitely a simple card! This will be a nice note card for me to ship via Operation Write Home. Thanks for checking in.

- Stamps – Kodomo “Leaves Collection 1”
- Cardstock – Bazzill
- Velvet ribbon – Wrights
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.
