OWH So Sentimental

I wanted to share my card for this week's Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown challenge, the theme is So Sentimental - using a sentiment as your focal point.

I made my card months ago in a mass production frenzy using this sketch and different patterned paper pads I've collected as well as great digital sentiments I've found on the internet.

Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps - So Sentimental

Dee's Bugaboo Boutique Scripture Verses

I have two cards to share today that are the same yet different.

I used a sketch I found on Pinterest that I'll add below:

This was a fun sketch to use patterned papers and a verse with!

My first card uses Cosmos Cricket Pixie-Licious papers, Spellbinders dies, a sentiment from Dee's Bugaboo Boutique and Papertrey Ink's envelope liner die. 

My second card uses Basic Grey Lime Rickey papers, the envelope liner die as well as Spellbinders dies, grossgrain ribbon and a sentiment form Word Art Wednesday.

One of these went into my Operation Write Home box and the other I'll keep to send to one of my friends.

Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes

Dee's Bugaboo Boutique & Basic Grey

I have a couple of cards that were part of a mass production project recently.

It started as a challenge for Operation Write Home and turned into a mass production project to see how many different patterned paper packs I could use with this sketch and different quotes and verses.

My first card uses Prima Marketing's Hello Spaceboy papers, and  Dee's Bugaboo Boutique digital sentiment.  I also used Spellbinders Circles and Scalloped Circles, bright yellow grossgrain ribbon and Papertrey Ink's envelope liner die.

 

My second card uses Basic Grey Offbeat papers, a Spellbinders Square die, stitched grossgrain ribbon and the envelope liner die.  The sentiment is a quote I found on Pinterest.

My card today is for our Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Our Daily Bread Designs challenge.  The challenge is to use an Inspirational Quote or Scripture on your card. The neat thing about the challenge is Our Daily Bread Designs picks up the shipping costs for one box of OWH cards when 25 cards are entered in to the challenge - up to 2 boxes sent to our troops free each month.  

My first card uses Basic Grey Marrakech papers and a free digital image from Dee's Bugaboo Boutique.  If you like Scripture Word Art you'll love visiting her blog!  I also used Spellbinders Circles and Scalloped Circles as well as some black organdy ribbon. 

I looked around for a sketch to use for this project and was thrilled to find a bunch on Pinterest.  I actually went a little crazy and mass produced several cards using different patterned papers and verses.  

Here's the sketch:

My second card uses Basic Grey Lime Rickey patterned papers and another digital image from Dee's Bugaboo Boutique.

I cut out the sentiment with Cheery Lynn Designs French Flair dies and added black organdy ribbon.

I can't forget the Papertrey Ink envelope liner die.  It's a great way to dress up a card and use just a little more of that patterned paper I've been hoarding.

Dee's Bugaboo Boutique Word Art

Last weekend my crafty friend Sherry and I spent an evening designing and making house warming invitations for her daughter and room mate.  I took a picture of Sherry as we started out with our project.  I took pictures of the invitations too but decided not to post the actual invitation because it has more information than I think should go on the internet so I'm posting pictures of the cards I made that were inspired by the invitations.

This card uses almost the same colors as the invitations and same layout except the invitations were post cards so they were only one layer, no black matting.

I noticed after printing and trimming this sentiment it was slightly off center and I wanted to use it so this is before I added the die cut button to match the patterned paper.  You might not have noticed had I not said anything...  

Here are the papers we used for the invitation.  As we were making the original invitations I was thinking this would be a great way to use up some of my patterned paper scraps.

My last card is also inspired by the invitations we made.  

The beautiful word art is by Dee's Bugaboo Boutique and they were all  free.
