Happy 4th of July to everyone! It’s a super fun weekend over at the OWH Stars & Stamps blog because there is a Virtual Card Making Party going on. New challenges are getting posted every couple of hours. I’m not sure how many of them I’ll get to participate in, but I’m going to try to do as many as possible.

The first one, by Sybrina, is to use an OWH sketch and make a masculine and feminine version card. I used sketch #230.

sketch – OWH #230

paper – Doodlebug – day to day

stamps – Paper Smooches and Hero Arts

circle die cuts – Spellbinders

embossing folders – Cuttlebug, Sizzix, and Darice

Pearl pen – Viva Decor

Versafine ink

The 2nd challenge is by Michelle. Her challenge is to make a thank you card. She has a bonus points if you use spray inks, but I don’t have any, so I stuck with doing a thank you card.

paper – Lawn Fawn – Let’s Polka

stamp – The Stamps of Life

Pearl pen – Viva Decor

Versafine ink

I’m onto the 3rd challenge for today. Kelly’s challenge is paper piecing For Kids. Since I love paper piecing, this was an easy challenge for me.

Now, onto the 4th challenge. Lori has challenged us to make a red, white, and blue birthday card.
