Holly Anderson
Hello, and welcome to Operation Write Home‘s World Card Making Day Blog Hop!
We were asked to make wintry cards from a sketch, so here’s the sketch I chose; it’s from Card Ideas for Paper Crafters! You can find this sketch and many more on our Pinterest board!
And here’s the card made by yours truly.
I hope you like it! I wanted to try my hand at stamping, since it’s not my forte, and don’t you think it turned out pretty cute?
Of course, I have to plug the World Card Making Day contest because we have an awesome prize up for grabs as well as an opportunity for your card to get published in an upcoming issue of Paper Crafts magazine! Mail in your entries and we will choose twenty winning cards; if yours isn’t chosen, it won’t go to waste—it will be sent to Operation Write Home for our armed forces to use to send to their loved ones! Check out the contest details for more information!
Thanks for checking in, and make sure to visit us throughout the day, because starting at 3 am MDT every hour until noon, we have giveaways and inspiration to show you!!! But for now, check out other blog hoppers today with the Operation Write Home blog hop by clicking here!
I like how all the different elements came together!!
Hi Holly! That is one challenging sketch, and you rocked it! I have a stamp set with various sizes like that and I am definitely going to try this sketch! Thanks for all your support of OWH and Happy World Cardmaking Day!
This card is adorable!
I love the look of the partially stamped images on the block leading the eye down to the snowman. Unfortunately snow doesn’t appear to be far away from us in central Wisconsin today!
Holly, that is such a great job with a very difficult sketch (IMHO). You really created something fun, fresh, and original. I enjoyed seeing it.
Cute card, Holly! Love all the stamped images inside the squares. TFS – and Happy WCMD!
