Piece of Cake

Hello friends! One of this week's challenges at Stamp TV is to use the paper piecing technique on your project. So, I pulled out a great stamp set, Melanie's Inspiration Mosaic, and some wonderful Basic Grey and Bo Bunny papers to make this card.

I stamped the mosaic on 5 different papers, then arranged a selection onto a base grid for this patchworked look. The upper sentiment is from Signs of Autumn, the lower is from Framed Greetings with the line-art flower from Nina's Hugs and Prayers in the background. It's hard to see, but the two sentiment panels are popped up, one higher than the other. I love the wild fibre flower/bow, and the playful brads on the corners.

I hope you enjoy this sample, and that you'll head on over to Stamp TV and play along with the fun challenges. As always, this one's headed to OWH! Thanks for stopping by!

OWH Spotlight

Hello friends! I'm so honored and excited to share some cards with you. I was asked to make samples for this week's Operation Write Home sketch challenge! Here are my samples and info, and you can play along. Simply create a card using the sketch and link it up on the OWH challenge post.

I used Bo Bunny patterned papers, Gina K pure luxury cardstock and stamps, EK Success and Martha Stewart punches, Hobby Lobby ribbon, Sizzix and Cuttlebug embossing folders, Memories and Distress inks, Prima flower, seed beads and fishing line.

Now, you don't have to make your cards for OWH, but it'd be nice if you did. We just passed 1 million cards shipped to our heroes, and we're starting on the 2nd million. There are a few requirements for cards being shipped out to our deployed military, but that's easy to follow. Read up on the OWH blog.

It's your turn, so get busy!

A Bevy of Birthday Cards

Today I got a few cards made. These really fought me, but I think I won.

Yes, they essentially follow the same design and use the same stamps. These were made for Operation Write Home for our soldiers to use, so I like creating them in batches. The first two use all Gina K Designs papers and stamps (Framed Greetings), the last two use Basic Grey patterned paper.

I hope you find some inspiration from these pieces. Until next time!
