OWH Pleating Tutorial

Hi everybody,

Have you tried paper pleating. I hadn't either. It is the new tutorial over at OWH.

I decided to try something a little different. After completing the card at the bottom, I had some pleating leftover and just couldn't throw so used the scrap this way.

Have some extra cards? Don't know what to do with them? Why not check out Operation Write Home.

Talk to you all later,

Marianne

OWH - #4

Hello Friend,

Well I have made it through another day. Here is number 4 for my personal OWH challenge.


This background paper I received from Sandy at OWH to use to make cards. This a clean and simple design but I think it works well.

OWH #3

Hello Friends,

Ok so here is card number 3 for my card a day challenge. I made this challenge myself. I was trying to think of a way to keep inspired. Over the holiday I just didn't feel like creating so I needed something.

If you are interested in making cards for OWH or maybe giving a charitable donation just click here to check it out.

I'm not sure if you can see it in the above picture but I stamped a row of candles behind the sentiment and embossed it.

I hope you will get motivated to join me in making cards for our heroes.

Thinking of You Card

Hello friends,

Here is a card I made for a friend to let her know I was thinking of her.

This was a fun card because everything fell in place the first time. I love it when that happens.


Here is a close up of the tiles that make the background matting of the card.

Finally, here is a side view showing the layering and the wonderful microbeads on the flower.

Please be sure to check out PennyWiseArts here for the best prices on O'So Sticky tape and beads that were used on this card.

Please stop back soon for more fun paper crafts.

More Post it Notes

Hello friends,

here are a couple more post it notes that I made recently.
I needed one for a male and it took sometime and digging through my stash to come up with this one. I used my Circut Expression to cut the stars. I really don't know what I would do without it.

The second one was for another worker - I think you can probably guess it is for a female :)

Have a wonderful Saturday. Thanks for stopping by.
