OWH-Thank you times 6

Thank you cards were needed so I made six of them. My mojo was working

Cuppa time

This cup image is called " Teacups Dancing " by Stamp In The Hand. The stamp is one I picked up at St. Vincent DePaul for $3.60. I have been looking at if for months. It was calling to me so I gave in. It was 1 of 2 stamps that I bought and I hate to say it, I was weak.  I broke my spending freeze that I put in place in September. I have been good though. I have spent only about $7 on craft stuff in the last 2 months except for basic supplies. I colored some of the images but I liked this monochromatic look the best. I made 4 of these cards, 3 of which will go to OWH. The other one I will put in my personal stash

Birthday Wishes.

I made several of these cards for OWH. I embossed the gift on glossy paper. The background paper is from a DCWV pad. It has the embossed sparkles. I went over the sentiment with a Gelly Roll glossy pen. It is just about empty and I can't seem to find another one.

BOO!

I have been a slacker this year. Just couldn't get the mojo for Halloween cards. This is 1 of only 2 cards I made.

Family and friends

The first card I made for a niece that is expecting her second child very soon. It is a Dolly Mamma stamp image. The fall card was sent to my longtime online friend Debby in Israel. The bling is Swarovski crystals. Both cards were colored with Copic markers

Misc. cards

Some more cards with the image cut in such a way that a sentiment could be stamped.

My sister has been here for a week and I am getting nothing done.

Butterflies

A couple of versions of the same Inkadinkadoo stamp stamped on patterned paper. I colored in the butterflies with a Copic marker

OWH blog hop-Christmas cheer

The gingerbread house stamp is an old PSX stamp I picked up for $3 at St. Vincent DePaul a long time ago. I colored with Copic markers. On some parts I used a Gelly Roll Glaze pen. I used Crystal Lacquer on the rooftop dots. For the snow on the bottom I added some Clear Rock Candy Distress Stickles. The background papers are glossy. I cut out the image and popped it up.

This is a card  I posted on the OWH Facebook page a couple of months ago but not on my blog yet. The monster image is a digital image by Hope Jacare. I colored with Copic markers. I added Diamond Glaze to the teeth so they really pop. I went over the dots with a Gelly Roll Glaze pen. Just a whimsical card that I enjoyed making.

I truly enjoy making cards for our troops to send home. If it brings a smile to the face of the recipients that is a wonderful thing. Thanks to our troops for all that you do.

You are a gift

 My first card using this theme. Saw this sentiment while standing in line at the post office. The gift stamp is a 1997 Denami Design I picked up at St. Vincent DePaul for $2.70. I have several cards with this theme in the works. The sentiment is computer generated. I gave this card a masculine look

Messing around

I received a beautiful card from John VM (he posts on OWH Facebook page on a regular basis) where he stamped an image and then stamped a sentiment on top of it. That was my inspiration for these cards but I wanted to use up some of my large paper stash. I picked out paper that had a lot of open space and started cutting it with just a portion of a design on it. I have others I did but you get the general idea with these ones.
