Wild Animals







The zebras are a stamp from Embossing Arts. The first 2 cards were stamped on white, the last one on a colored paper. The little strip of zebra paper is from Bo Bunny. The background papers are all old Basic Grey papers. The embelishments are Candi dots.



This card made it onto the OWH Facebook page but not my blog. The tiger is clip art, the background papers are Bo Bunny





Thank You




OWH needed thank you cards so I have spent the last few days making some more. My box is almost full and ready to mail. I want to get these into a different folder in my Pictures file so the second picture gives you all of them. Most were made with card fronts that I put together months ago. They just needed some attention.


I found a couple more thank you cards so here they are.






Again, using  up card fronts from months ago. Paper I have had forever. Just added the piece put through the embossing folder.

Doing the Fathers Day thing






It is early in the morning for me. I am on my first cuppa. I can't find the stamp set I used. I guess I need to start my morning by cleaning off the desk from what I was working on last night. The papers are at least a couple of years old.I made 6 of each for my OWH box

Tags and Twine

The Mid week Throwdown at OWH is tags and twine. I picked up 2 sheets of this nice heavy Bazzill paper for $.25 a sheet. The bottom had this card design. I cut off the bottoms and have 6 cards with a similar look. The top half is no design so I also like that. The back side is the stripes. The stamp is Stampendous. It came in a square frame and I cut it off. No regrets.

 


I decided I didn't like the black so I redid with blue. I like it much better. The blue ties in better with the stripes

Wild animal papers.






I have been making cards with wild animals. These particular papers just didn't fit with the animals I am working with so here they are as stand alone with no animals.

Miss you robots





Bazzill had a line of paper I fell in love with. I cut up an entire sheet of these cute robots. It made 8 cads, 4 with the yellow paper and 4 with the red. The yellow paper was not Bazzill, the others were. They all had double sides. Each robot was different. On the bottom card I cut out from scraps and popped up the sentiment. 

The top card I will use for this weeks mid week throw down on OWH. The challenge was to use stripes. They show up behind the robot on the yellow paper.

Let's play ball





I used a Stampendous stamp called Sports Border. I only made 4 for my OWH box so I need to make more. Trying to use up odds and ends of printed paper.

OWH sketch #164--- Day 1 Pattern Play



This card will do double duty for this weeks sketch at Operation Write Home and Day 1 of the online Card Class Pattern Play.

I used 3 different papers all from the same line of Bo Bunny 12" double sided paper. After all of the strips on my 6 cards were already put on, I saw that I had not centered the design like the class taught. I will use the excuse that I am dragging around today. The dotted paper was used as a solid. I was able to have the flowers on the middle piece show. I did manage to use 3 printed papers. The buttons were cut with my cherrylyn die from Bazzill Bling cardstock. I don't know the brand of stamp, I am thinking one of the cheap $1. Now that I have scanned the card I will pop up the buttons with Scotch dimensional tape.

Great Big Hugs.










Using my new Stampendous stamp. Some of these papers are REALLY old. I have lots of new paper but there is just something satisfying about using up old paper. The 2 bottom cards are made with Basic Grey Archaic line papers.

I did so many feminine cards in my last OWH box that I I am now in the mood for some that are more masculine.

I have 15 cards using this stamp

Mothers Day





I am not in the mood to do individual pictures today so you are getting an overview. I did multiples on some of them. All together I made 26 cards for the OWH box using these designs. The circle sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp. The other sentiments are computer generated.
