OWH Bloghop - Christmas Card

Happy  World Cardmaking Day!

I hope you will join me and several others for the biggest OWH Blog Hop ever. We are all making Holiday cards to send to our troops and can use your help too!

Here is my card, it is recycled from an Old Christmas Card!

I bought a stack of old cards for 50c at a rummage sale this summer. I have been cutting out the cute images, like this snowman and using them to create new cards for OWH. All the paper on the card is scraps and the ribbon is available in my store.

Cute huh! If you would like to make cards for OWH, go here to read the details.

Oops, I just read on the OWH site: " Do not re-purpose store bought card fronts.
This is a possible liability for us; since we put Operation Write Home on our cards, we cannot have copyrighted material on our handmade cards. If it's not a supply made for card making/crafting, do not re-purpose it." (This includes gift wrapping as well.) but it also says "You can use store bought cards for AnyHero letters, however — there are NO restrictions on those".....So my card will become a AnyHero card! 

Operation Write Home is also having a Donation Crisis to have enough money to mail out all those boxes of cards for Christmas, so if you can give a little. Thank you!


Now to do my little part in money donations, I am going to give 20% of all my online store sales in the month of October to OWH!  So, take a look at my store, stock up on your supplies at a great discount price and help me help this great cause too!

Thanks for visiting my blog and have fun on the hop!

Scrap Christmas Sketch Card!

I was going through my huge Christmas Theme container last night and decided I needed to make tons of Christmas cards for OWH using up my left over scraps, then I can purchase more great stuff this holiday season without feeling guilty.


One of the cards I made super fast, was using the Card Patterns Sketch #84.

 I just grabbed some Candy Cane Striped ribbon (Michaels, bought last year), some cute pattern paper (Paper Studio bought 2 years ago) and a cute sticker ($1.00 tree with 20 stickers on a sheet, almost 3 years ago!). Inked every thing up and pop dotted the tag. I cut the first 3 made by hand, but decided to multi cut the next 21 on my Cricut.

Yep, you read right! 24 cards to be made, all from my Scraps using this sketch and no two alike! Different paper and different stickers! I will finish putting them all together while watching CSI & the Mentalist tonight.

I am also going to enter this great card into the OWH Midweek throwdown Christmas card challenge & the Paper Sundaes Anything from your stash challenge #38 & the Anything Goes Week #19 Christmas Challenge!

I love making cards from my scraps! Don't you?

Christmas Star Card!

Here is one more card I made today before going to bed and starting again tomorrow. This card is for the Enjoy the VA sunshine OWH sketch challenge! She asked that we make a Holiday card using her sketch.

I chose to make 6 Christmas cards using a Star I tried to copy from the pattern paper.

Okay that is 27 cards made for OWH today and 6 challenges entered. Hope my fingers won't be to sore to make more tommorrow, LOL! Going to work on some Hero cards, Snowman Cards, Monkey Cards and 2 layouts, hopefully! All done on my new Cricut, Yipee!!!

On August 4th I promised you samples of my Use your Scraps Collage Card in a Halloween, Christmas and Anniversary theme.

Well, the Halloween will be posted with a challenge shortly but here are the Christmas:

and here is the Anniversary:

 These cards are soooo fast and fun to make that I created all 19 cards for OWH in about 3 hours including inserting the blank pages for writing.

The Christmas ones was the funnest for me because I have tons and tons of stickers for this holiday. It was nice to use up a few sheets on them and I will make several more before the deadline.
 

Inspiration Photo Contest at Scrappily Ever After's Blog!

Today's inspiration photo at Scrappily Ever after is a beautiful photo of Christmas Lights!  Check out her challenge and Submit your on project by Sunday, August 1st by Midnight (EST) for your chance to win. 

Here is my design team submission! 

About 4 years ago, I bought these bulbs on Ebay for 99c already assembled for a Christmas Light layout and then didn't use them, they have been laying around here all these years, isn't that pathetic, LOL) I think they are from the cutterbug but it could be sixxlet, I don't know. I was going to use gold wire for the tops but came across this fiber that reminded me of tinsel on a tree so used it. The Gold Merry Christmas word is an outline sticker from the $ shop (you get 12 gold & 12 silver words in a pack, good buy huh! I bought Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday & Thank you but wish I would of bought more) Everything is inked with a Gold Cat's Eye.
