Welcome to my stop on the Operation Write Home Red Friday Bloghop! If you’ve gotten here without starting at the beginning, you’ll want to click HERE and start from the top. We’re turning “Black Friday” into “Red Friday” by supporting our nation’s heroes!
Here is how I created my card:
- Stamp the Flowerful Heart on a piece of whisper white cardstock in Versamark Watermark stamp pad.
- Heat emboss it by using Gold embossing powder.
- Color in Real Red and Ireland Indigo by sponging. Gently rub off any residue on the gold embossed area.
- Cut out a heart shape by using the Heart Framelits Dies.
- Dry embossing on a piece of whisper white by using Northern Flurry embossing folder.
- Stamp the sentiment at the bottom right side first.
- On top of the large snowflakes, adhere the heart cut out by using stampin' dimensionals.
- Tie the ribbon around the front panel.
- Adhere Rhinestones on the smaller snowflakes and some in the open space.
- Adhere the front panel to the card base.
Operation Write Home is a charity that sends blank handmade cards to service members deployed overseas. They’ve sent nearly 3 million cards! That’s a lot of letters and love heading home to those who are keeping the home fires burning.
November through February are the slowest months for OWH, and that’s something we as crafters can do something about! We all have a handful of cards in our stash — we don’t even need to take a break from our holiday preparations to just write Operation Write Home on the back and send them in, right? That’ll keep our heroes busy writing home during a long winter away from home.
Be sure to read the information on the Stars and Stamps post so you send in what’s needed (no Christmas cards, no glitter, A2, etc.) - and make a hero’s day by giving them a beautiful creation to write home on!
What’s a bloghop without prizes? See the Stars and Stamps post for the full list of goodies by the bloghop sponsors - and go link up YOUR love card there, too! There are prizes for both those who comment on the blogs as well as folks who share their own creation!
I am going to offer my blog candy which will be from my Stampin' Up' products stash. Please leave your parting thoughts and you will get a chance to win my blog candy. I will announce the winner next Saturday, December 6, 2014
