OWH Card Kits - Aug 24, 2010

These are card kits that I prepared for OWH Cardmaking Day at work during lunch time tomorrow. 

OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #31 - Happy {Howl}oween

I made this card for OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #31. To make the moon image, I cut out a 1.3/4" circle from the scrap paper and used it as a template and sponged it.  I stamped the bat and I sponged the ground as well.  The sentiment and the tree image are from Create with TLC -Season Your Holidays Club.  I am going to make more of this for the last batch of Halloween cards for OWH with my group at work on Tuesday, August 24, 2010.

Here is the sketch.

UPDATE:  This is how I did step by step.  I hope it will give you some ideas.

OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #30

OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #30

I made this card a while ago to enter Karen Howard's challenge during Memorial Day Bloghop.  It is posted as one of sample cards on OWH S&S blog for this week's sketch challenge.  The 'Stars and Stripes Bee' digital image was from Stretch n' Bubbles that was given as a freebie for OWH cardmakers. 

Card Maker Paper Party Crop Challenges - BIRTHDAYS

Birthday Ribbon Badge Card

This challenge was to make a birthday ribbon badge with two different types of ribbon.  I made one and put it on to my card.  I stamped dots in three colors to match the patterened paper on the card base. I used the Stampin' Up dotted ribbon border punch.  When the real color riboon is not available, this can be a great tool to create a perfect ribbon with the matching colored card stock.

Ice Cream Bookmark

I simply cut out patterned papers by the template and put them together. I sponged the edges.

Envelope Gift Card Holder

Create a gift cardholder using an envelope.

Over the Hill Birthday Card

Make a card using black, white, and one other color.

This was a great challenge for me. I never thought about making a birthday card in black and white and one other color. My card base is white with a thin border although it doesn't show well in the photo.

Thanks a bunch

OWH Card Kits & OWH Cardmaking Day - Sunday, August 8, 2010

It was a busy weekend for me.  I had the first group of five girls and a mom for OWH Carmaking Day - Sunday, August 8, 2010.  I made about 120 Card Kits. There were some card patients that need to be treated so I didn't include them in the above photos.

These are simple designed cards.  I used Stampin' Up stamps, sponging technique, punched out stars and Christmas ornaments, cupcake and halloween digi stamps from Digital Doodlings.  The girls were so excited about making cards for our heroes.  They didn't have any cardmaking experience but they did very well.  They were happy to write Any Hero cards as well. 

I have the second group scheduled on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at work and the third group on Sunday, August 29, 2010 at Elk Grove Grocery Outlet.

OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #28 - A Baby Card

I have been thinking about making a Baby Card for Gus who is like my son since I have received his newborn baby, Rachel's photo. I was not really confident in making baby cards so it took longer time to decide.  Anyway, I made one with this Stampin' Up stamp set: Baby Bundle and stamped the background.  I tried to stick with the OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #28.
