SRM Stickers by the Dozen Birthday Card

I spent the afternoon making birthday cards using SRM Stickers by the Dozen.  I only bought one sheet, as I am not really a sticker person.  Now I wish I had bought a variety.  I rarely make duplicate cards, but the first one came out so well, I decided to make a bunch.

OWH Sketch Challenge #165

This week's Operation Write Home sketch #165 looks like this:

165

Here is one version:

DCWV Taj Mahal Foil and Glitter stack.  The paper has the covered glitter - safe for OWH!  Stamp from My Favorite Things Dream Big set.  SEI ink, over stamped with Tsukineko Moonlight White.  Border punch from American Crafts.  Offray satin ribbon. 

Another version:

The gold border was part of the base DP, I slit the right edge and inserted the sentiment strip.  A lot prettier in person, but not a favorite.  Sentiment Above Rubies Studio, ink SEI, paper DCWV Taj Mahal.

OWH Mid Week Throw Down - Ombre

The Mid Week Throw Down at OWH is to make a card using the concept of ombre - shaded in tones from light to dark.

 Something like this:

I needed some Sympathy cards, so I went with more somber tones.  I like the elegance of it, even if it is a bit stark.

OWH Design Bootcamp - Any Way You Slice It

Operation Write Home has a monthly Bootcamp teaching different cardmaking concepts.  This month, it is about the Rule of Thirds - Any Way You Slice It. 

Here is mine.  I am not sure if I followed the rules, but I do like the end result.  Constructive feedback is welcome!


The beads are left over from a different OWH project, scissor leashes for last year's CHA Make and Leave.  The hoop is a wine charm ring.  Sizzix embossing folder.  Offray organza ribbon.

Masculine Thank You Card

Operation Write Home is always looking for Thank You cards.

I saw this one on Pinterest, and I loved it.    It was uploaded directly to Pinterest, so I can't link directly to the inspiration, just to the board.

Love how it turned out.  Will be a great one for making multiples!



I dusted off my Creative Memories circle cutting templates, and cut the circles in dark maroon and black.  I layered the circles around the sentiment from Fiskars, and layered that on mirrored paper embossed with a Sizzix folder.  Brads from stash.
