Welcome to my stop on the OWH Die-Versions Bloghop. If you just came from Lori’s blog, you’re on the right track. If you would like to go to the beginning of the hop, you can find it HERE.
I’m so excited to be a part of this bloghop to help show the new Operation Write Home fundraiser dies by Die-Versions. I am such a big fan of using die cuts on my cards and these are just super fun ones.
I used one of the cute hexagon sentiment dies with some patriotic papers for my first card

My second card is an AnyHero card featuring the dog tag die cut. In this card, I will be writing a letter of gratitude to send to our deployed heroes.

Kristie I love both of your cards!! But the one with the military tags is so AWESOME!!
Your cards are so awesome and sure hold lots of special meaning. You totally know how to create you are so talented.
Both my daughter and my son-in-law have served in Iraq, SIL is active duty but home now….I would LOVE that dog tag die. Isn't that cute? Thanks for showing us your ideas….love your cards
Beautiful cards! I love the colors on the one with the dog tags, so beautiful!

I like your second card best. Also useable for other occasions (in the Netherlands we don't "write home")
Wow-Wish I Was With You says it all-the reason we do this. Awesome.
Until now I only saw the tags as silver and my somewhat noncreative mind didn't go further but the way you distressed these gives it a worn, real look. Any soldier would be honored to receive a thank you on this card. TFS your lovely work.
Kristie, your cards are beautiful. I must say that the sentiments you've chosen are absolutely perfect. Happy to be hopping with you today!
Such a great great layout of papers on your dog tag card! You make me glad I have a stash to use. Any hero would love this card. I adore the second one … these words!
Both awesome cards!! I'm really loving the second one…the papers are army colors, but not camo, and the layout is fabulous!!
I love how you placed the banners in two places on the first card. I like your paper choices and sentiments on the second card.
Kristie I always love your pattern-mixing! So cute! Thanks for participating in our hop today!
Beautiful cards!! I love the second one – those dog tags are really great!
Both of these are fabulous. Really like the sentiment paired with the dog tags on the second one.
Wonderful Hero Cards. Love the colors.
Great papers and card designs using these dies.
Both cards are wonderful, but I especially love the colors on the second one. Really nice work. Thanks for sharing!
I think I like the second card better because of the sentiment. Both are great!!!

The tags die is awesome. Wish I had one so I could make your sample.
Both of these cards are great. I really like them both, who doesn't like red, white and blue? The Hero card is just right with the dog tags. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Thanks for sharing your delightful cards with us.
Love the "Wish I was with you" sentiment. Haven't seen that before.
I love the "wish I was with you" sentiment die! Thanks for being part of the blog hop 🙂
I like the "wish I was with you" The combination of fonts really appeals to me.
I like the way you used the dog dags as the embellishment in the second card!
I love the simplicity of the red, white, and blue card. Great job.
I like the red/white/ blue card and how you have such thin layers on the hexagon. The hero card has perfect colors and I love your take on the sketch.
Your cards are so great! I especially love the second card with the muted colors and use of that dog tag die. Thank you for supporting Operation Write Home!
Great cards! I like all the layering and the matting make the elements stand out. Great use of the new dies.
Two great cards! The RWB is my favorite – the colors and sketch with the sentiment die make this a card any family member would love to receive from one of our heroes.
These two cards are gorgeous!. Love the Earth tone colors In God Bless.. Card. Thank you for sharing such great creations
I love your paper choices and sentiment on your card with the dog tags! Very cute:D
I like the layers you used on both cards. Very nice.
Kristie, these are great! I really like the little banners on the first card and LOVE the distressed look of the next one! Great job!!
I love everything about your God bless you card. The background paper, DP strip, the curved edge on the sentiment and of course the dog tags. Well done.
Love the colors on your cards!
Wish I was with you is the perfect sentiment. Love that card.
Love the color combination of the second card. Perfect for sending gratitude to the heroes!
I love the hexagon shape dies. I know I want to buy some, but can't decide which one I want. I REALLY enjoyed the blog hop!!! I was SO inspired and anxious to make many new cards.
Thanks you Kristie and the entire design team for all your hard work for our servicemen! I'm proud to participate.
Awesome! Love the variety of dies. Cool 'dog tags'. Thanks for sharing your cards.
Nice cards. Clean and simple, but not boring.
Beautiful cards! Love your choice of colors and design!
My fave is the "Wish I Was With You." It just pops and that layout is awesome. Thanks for providing the sketch info too!
Wonderful cards. Any hero cards are the best
Great cards!!
Terrific cards Kristie. Love the small banners on the top of the first, and the rounded corner of the sentiment on the second.
Amazing job! Great use of DV dies! Love it!
Great cards. I really love the second one.
Amazing cards! Blessings to our guys who choose them to mail home… and to those at home who receive them.
I like both cards. My favorite is the second one,like the sentiment and the dog tags.
Love the multi layering of colours on the first one, a card perfect for any age or gender. The Any Hero will be well appreciated! The dies are wonderful, thank you for the great examples!
I love the patriotic colors and all of the layering you did on the first one; your composition draws my eye in and is really pleasing. And the second one – wow! I really love the papers and colors you chose here to complement the dog tag – really beautiful! You have such a good eye for putting thing together. Thank you for sharing these delightful cards & for your ongoing support of OWH.
I like the background behind the dog tags die and the color of the dog tags looks really cool!
I really like how your dog tag card feels very gender neutral great card for male or female hero.
both cards are great. I especially like the second card. The color scheme and papers are great as is the layout and layering. Really well done.
These are both great cards. I really like hour you distressed the dog tags on you any hero cards. Thanks for sharing!
Two great cards… super love the second one
Liked the sentiment of the die on the first card, but it was the second, the Any Hero card that really caught my eye. Great job! I'm loving all the die's so far….great for our Heroes!

Wonderful cards! I esp like tha papers on tbe dogtags.
Great cards. I really like the dog tag card.
Thanks for some great cards and some great ideas!
I love how finished these cards look. Very well-designed!
These are both such lovely cards. Someone is going to just love getting the first one and some hero is going to love getting the Any Hero card. CASE worthy for sure. TFS
Awesome cards as always, Kristie! Love that AnyHero card. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Sandy
I really like the Any Hero card design! I plan to get the dogtag die – now I have a card to CASE for it too!
Love your cards Kristie!! That DS139 sketch is one of my favorites. Super great cards. I love them both!
Your cards are great! I really was not impressed with the dog tags until watching Sandy's video and now seeing your card with them! I am thinking I might have to go back and order another die! the colors on the 'wish I was with you" card just POP!
Kristie, both cards are just fabulous! Love the r/w/b, just pops right off the page! The dog tags are really special, love how you combined another fundraiser stamp with the new die cuts, really shows how we can combine our stash together for greater use! Thanks for sharing
Love the cards
Great cards! Love the way you used the dog tag cards.
I love all the shapes and layers!
Beautiful cards…BOTH of them!
Really love the second card – tags and colors.
Really love the bright colors in the first card! It's also neat what you did with the die. And those silver dog tags in the second–how neat! Tfs!
Each of your cards are absolutely stunning…I admire your ability to have them portray such individual personality. Thank you for sharing!
Great cards Kristie! I really like the mottled ink effect you used on the dog tag die and the papers you used in the card are terrific too — masculine but with a modern twist and then distressing pulls it all together. Marvelous job!
Wonderful cards! Great ideas. Thank you.
I just love hexagons so your hexagon card just has to be my fav.
I like the simplicity of your cards and the use of brads is just the right touch of embellishment to make them spiffy. I also like the hint of ribbon on the first card ~ what a nice way to use up some of my scraps.
WONDERFUL CARDS KRISTIE. I LOVE HOW BRIGHT THE FIRST ONE IS AND THE SECOND WITH THE DOG TAGS HAS A QUIET ELEGANCE.
I like both cards, but the Any Hero card is fantastic!
Great job on both cards – can't help being partial to the red white and blue. It's my personal favorite.
My favorite card is the thank you for serving – great sentiment plus great colors. All works great together.
The second card is my favorite. I love the colors, the layout, I like how you put the dog tags on top of the other layers.
Love your choice of papers and layering on both cards! Good job using OWH sketches!
Love your cards!
Beautiful! I love the papers you chose and the card designs are so clean and pretty! Thanks for sharing ~
Kristie, thanks for sharing your cards. I like both a lot, and I love the dies. They are so versatile – you can use the sentiments for so many occasions. Thanks Die-Versions. On the second card, I love the way you made the dog tags looks worn and aged. Ute
Enjoyed both of your cards and really like the dies you used. The paper you used worked great with the dies. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful examples, thank you for sharing. I liked the use of the banners.
Love your dog tag card! Amazing cards as always!
The second card is absolutely amazing! Those tags are perfect and I love that sentiment! Wonderful!
Great work. You have such a good eye for pairing papers.
WOW– I love how eye-popping your first design is, with the bright, patriotic colors and how well the papers coordinate. Your 2nd is nice in design and layout; love the sentiment!! TFS!!
Beautiful cards, i love so much
Great use of the OWH dies.
Wonderful cards! Can't wait to use some of these dies!
LOVE the bright colors you've used! It really makes the cards stand out and look great!
