My Heart is with You

 Try Stampin' On Tuesday is having a sketch challenge, with an option for a masculine project.  Since most of my cards go to deployed military, masculine cards are always needed.  

The sentiment and die cut are from Reverse Confetti, and the background paper is from DCWV Far East.  I added some narrow ribbon for the vertical elements to finish it off.  Here is their sketch:

Cards for Soldiers and Send  Smile 4 Kids accept cards if you are so inclined!

Hero

No posts for a month?!!  I have been very lucky to be able to work from home for the past 6 weeks.  I have been busy sewing masks and making cards.  I'm sending more cards lately, trying to keep in touch and lift spirits.  I am seeing everyday heroes who are stepping up.  And some have always stood watch.

JUGS (Just Us Girls) have a word challenge this week - HERO.  

I used 4 different embossing folders to create the background, and layered the large sentiment in navy to make it pop.  These will go into my next box for Cards for Soldiers to be distributed to our deployed military.  How are you managing quarantine?

Missing You Is Ruff...

Cards in Envy has a Love Me or Love My Pet Card Challenge.  Make a love card, bonus if a pet is included.  

What better way to show love than to miss someone who is far away?!?  This is for Cards for Soldiers, perfect for a kid big or small.  The bones are dimensional, but pretty flat - well under the USPS 1/4" requirement.  I think the strings on the button bone aren't quite right - I'l  have to try again!
