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.

- 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.

I made this card after visiting the Operation Write Home Happy Hour Blog Skip that showcased the Hero Arts newly released stamps. There was lots of inspiration as I hopped through the different blogs. I was particularly intrigued by the shape of card base of the card created by Julie at “Handmade by Julie.” Her card inspired me to make this Valentine to ship off someone overseas so that they can send it home to a loved one. Thanks for stopping by!
