Curtain Call Colors-Operation Write Home

Good morning all, this is a long post but I have some exciting news to share and the information here is important.  The awesome news is that I have the humble and honored opportunity to help Operation Write Home Celebrate there birthday this month.....yippie!  I am going to encourage you to play along and submit your cards to OWH.  They are having challenges everyday and prizes, you can read more about that here.  My challenge is up tomorrow and of course there will be prizes, you will have two chances to win.  I have made a birthday card today to wish OWH a very happy birthday!  I have made two cards, the first card cannot be sent to OHW, it is square.  There are guidelines you must follow when submitting your card to send to the soldiers, sending only A2 cards is one of those guidelines....you will need to go here and read all about that.  I also tend to make my cards a little cas(plainer) because of the whole shipping thing.  Remember these cards will be shipped at least three times.
I have used this weeks Curtain Call Colors Act47, they are great manly colors.  I was thinking about the women who serve when I was making these.  I made my own ticket, I do not have a ticket die yet(notice I say yet...hehehehe).  I took kraft paper and cut it to the size I wanted, clipped the ends with my SU punch, and then distressed the ends.....so easy!  These fit  Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge, ssnotime156; challenge, to make it manly.  I also used the sketch from OCCSC31 a week or so back, the stamps are Skipping Stones Designs, luv this cake!   

For this card I used the same Curtain Call Colors and the sketch from Taylors Sketch Challenge, TESC127.  I flipped the sketch and used all Verve stamps on this one.  Be sure to give the Curtain Call DT some luv and I cannot wait to see what you create, you have plenty of challenges to get your mojo flowing.

My card today is using the OCCSC27 sketch and The Color Throwdown, CTD104.  These colors remind me some of fall, especially using the flower from the Verve set Let It Shine.  It reminds me of a cute little sunflower.  This is also for today's Free 4 All, F4A24, to use garden pickin.  The ric rac is cork I ran it through the PTI ric rac die, added ribbon to flower for leaves and the birthday sentiment tag.  Pretty simple and straight forward.  I hope you will check out my Etsy shop Paperie Bloom.  Have a great weekend!  Enjoy.

Good morning, it is time for another Cupcake Inspiration Challenge, CIC59.  Remember everything is the Hope Stamps Eternal Store is 45% off, head over to get some great deals!  Aren't these the cutest sweet treats?  I used OCC sketch, OCCSC15 luv the square sketch.  I also have a "data dig" to share, my "data digs" are things I have discovered whether it is my idea or another designer.  It is a must to always give credit to the creator's direct link.  I want to share the easiest way to make the ribbon scrunchy, it is from Ashley's blog, you can view the video here.   For my card I stamped the stems and then ran the EK Success Chipboard flowers through the Cuttlebug with the swiss dots embossing folder, you can see embossing folders here in the HSE store.  I added a little stitching and a piece of Bittersweet Basicgrey designer paper down the side.  Have a wonderful day...enjoy!
