You Are Fabulous

I went waaay back into the OWH archives and made these with sketch 1. I used both sides of a piece of Pebbles paper, a sentiment from SU and some Triveni bling.

 

Colorful Hello

Here's a fun OWH bonus sketch from way back in 2012. I used some American Crafts papers, some Hero Arts stamps and a bit of Triveni bling.

Smile!

I'm slowly working my way through an American Crafts 6x6 pad and this is one of the cards I made with it. It follows OWH sketch 240. The smile is a stamp from Endless Creations.

Smiles, hugs and kisses

This card uses OWH sketch 244. It features some Best Creation paper that I can't seem to use up and some pretty bright colors. The face is from TAWS and the sentiments are Hero Arts. Triveni Craft made the bling.

 

Razzleberry Easter

It's a bit out of season, but today I have an Easter card to share with you. I chose some Paper Studio paper for the background and accented it with SU Rich Razzleberry. The colors look great together. I even stamped the Hero Arts sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink. This sketch is from OWH, bonus sketch 12.

Make a Wish

Today I have a card for you using OWH sketch 57. The small squares are Bella Blvd. paper and the large square is American Crafts. I used Spellbinders for the circles and a Paper Smooches sentiment offset with some Triveni bling. The butterfly is from Queen & Co. 

LOVE is all you need

I used OWH sketch B-18 for this card. The polka dot paper is by Dena Designs and the sentiment is by Rubbernecker. I originally used the paper for a few Easter cards. The ovals were done with Spellbinders and the bling is Triveni.

love you forever

I used OWH sketch 240 for this card. The patterned paper is from a crafty yard sale and didn't have a name on it. The sentiment is from the Impression Obsession set Truly Madly Deeply. I wanted to make it a bit more masculine so I used a Darice embossing folder to add some chevron texture to the mix.

Thanks so much

What a perfect way to say thank you during football season! I used an OWH bonus sketch with this cool brad from Karen Foster. It's got a nice heavy feel to it. The sentiment is actually from two different Paper Smooches sets. That plaid paper is from GCD Studios.

OWH Sketch Challenge #219

This was a fun OWH sketch to play with, even if the reason for the card isn't fun. The design paper is Me & My Big Ideas and the teal and dark pink are Bazzill. I used Spellbinders for the circles and filled it with Paper Smooches sentiments. The black bling is Triveni Craft. 

Masculine Thank You

I used one of my favorite OWH sketches to show off this masculine Karen Foster tool paper. The sentiment is two different stamps by Fiskars. One stamp is the "thank you" and the other is the square with dots. The card looked plain so I added some Triveni Craft bling at the bottom.

Age...just a number

I've been looking for a sketch that would let me showcase this Lily Bee bicycle paper and I found it in OWH bonus sketch 18. The A Muse sentiment seems to go perfectly with those blue bicycles and helps remind us that we're only as old as we feel. The circles were cut with Spellbinders and the clear bling is from Triveni.

Many Butterfly Thanks

Today I have a card using OWH bonus sketch three. I mounted some Me & My Big Ideas paper on some purple Bazzill then cut out some shapes with a Spellbinders die. Those shapes were cut in half and stamped with an Inkadinkado sentiment. The card still looked a little plain, so I added some Triveni bling.

Summer flowers...and a bug

I had this partial piece of Dena Designs paper I wanted to use up and went browsing through the OWH sketches. Sketch 52 worked great for using this colorful paper. The flowers are Prima and held with a brad from my stash. The circles are done with Spellbinders. That dragonfly is from Queen & Co. and the sentiment is Paper Smooches.

Baseball Miss You

I'm using some more Me & My Big Ideas paper today. I love the stitches with grey stripes. I also found some Hot Off the Press paper with lots of little baseballs on them and figured they were a perfect match. The layout is OWH sketch 3. I used a Paper Smooches sentiment and finished it off with three little American Crafts brads.

If I had to choose...

I went way back to the first OWH sketch to make this card. The baseball paper is from Me & My Big Ideas and perfectly matches the SU Real Red ink. The sentiment is brand new! I picked it up at a recent paper crafting show. It's from Rubbernecker. To finish it off, I used some American Crafts brads.

AEIO...U

I did two cards for today using OWH sketch 175. I had to think for a few seconds to make sure I rounded the right corners for the patterns to go the direction I wanted but it was worth it.The Echo Park papers look great with the lines going where I wanted them. The Hero Arts sentiment and Triveni bling give them the perfect finishing looks.

Always

I wanted to participate in the OWH Sketch 230 challenge and this paper I picked up on sale seemed like the perfect fit. It's a piece of double-sided Glitz Design paper and both sides actually went perfectly together. I used some Spellbinders for the circles as usual. The Hero Arts sentiment is heat embossed with Ranger Gold embossing powder.

Here's a question I was debating with my husband...is this a love card or a thank you card?

Double whammy

When I saw this card on Pinterest, I knew I had to make my own version. Then, the new OWH sketch shows up and it's basically the same thing! I love it when things happen like that, don't you? 

The flower is from Impression Obsession and the sentiment circle is DeNami. I colored the flowers and flower brad with Copics. The circles are all done with Spellbinders while the ribbon and brad is from my stash. I used a white Gelly Roll pen for the faux stitching.
