Celebrate!

I love the look of black and red together! This is a card made for our large OWH Card Making Party that I hosted last fall.  I think it makes a good masculine card as well.

Children's Cards

Today, I would like to share some cards made for OWH for kids!  I can't even begin to imagine how hard it would be to be away from your children during deployment, so I was thinking fun and bright!

These were all cut with a Cricut machine. Hopefully they gave some child a smile for a day!

Clean and Simple Card Class - Day Seven

Plainly White - today's challenge!  I had to think outside the box as I did not have textured white cardstock or butterfly dies.  I think this one will be my card kit for our Operation Write Home card making the end of the month!

Clean and Simple Card Class - Day Six

Today's challenge was simple embellishments.  Circles are folded and put together to form a flower-like highlight.

Clean and Simple Card Class - Day Five

Day Five was a bit challenging as I did not have some of the same materials used in the example.  I used regular cardstock instead of watercolor paper and a mixture of alcohol/Stampin' Up All Purpose Ink instead of the Inkessentials Mister.

The first card, I did not use the spray.

The third try (the second didn't make it past the trash can)  I did use the mister. The effect is hard to see in the picture, but there is a nice sheen in the ink.

The stamps are Hero Arts/Operation Write Home Year Round Sentiments. The inks are Tim Holtz Distress Inks in Dusty Concord, Vintage Photo and Faded Jeans.  

Clean and Simple Card Class - Day Four

Working on black is something new and different for me. This is good for pushing me outside my normal habits!

Clean and Simple Card Class - Day Three

Here is my version of day three's CAS card.  I used the Paper Lace Cartridge (Cricut) and the sentiment is Hero Arts for Operation Write Home.  Day two's card is currently alluding me.....

Clean and Simple Card Class

This is the card for the first day of class - love CAS cards!!  Looking forward to many more days and lots of new ideas!
