Operation Write Home Perfect Paper Crafting Blog Skip!!

Hello Friends!!

I am happy to announce that I am participating in my first

Operation Write Home Perfect Paper Crafting Blog Skip!

If you happened upon my post first, then 

You will want to start at the link below

Stars and Stamps!!

The Operation Write Home Organization is always a Season ahead, to allow for shipping time.
So I decided to do a few Christmas Cards.

The cards also need to meet the OWH guidelines.

The basics are:

No glitter (safety issue)

No Very Lumpy embellishments

Needs to be A2 size

They need to be easily mail-able with standard postage

(just visit the guidelines page)

Here are my cards below.
A Very Merry Christmas

I used Gecko Galz Christmas Images that will be out on October 1st, so you are getting a sneak preview!

I also used my Perfect Layers Ruler to create all my yummy layers!!  You will notice that I used the 1/8 ruler for three sides of my light blue cardstock layer, then used the 3/8 ruler for the left side, that is what I tied my cream ribbon around :0).

The buttons, red polka dot and sheer two tone stripe ribbon are from 
Really Reasonable Ribbon.
You will notice that there is not any glitter :0)  I have kept my embellishments to flat!  My card still has that "Lot of work" look, because of all the fabby layers!

Merry Christmas Card

This time I used another Gecko Galz image, and newsprint candies, red twine, red polka dot ribbon and Juliet Lace from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  This one I used some Tombow pop dots (a lot so everything stays together).  

I used Designer Dries Clear glue from Art Glitter as well as the Red Sticky tape (but no glitter) to hold all my embellishments on!  That glue and tape are the best!  Again, lots of lovely layers thanks to my
Perfect Layers Ruler!!

Joyous Christmas

I used one digital paper (soft blue stripe) and one more Gecko Galz image for my focal piece.  The base of my cards are all made with Stampin Up card stock. 

The buttons, red twine, Juliet lace and cream seam binding are from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I am so excited to be taking part in this skip, and am happy to be creating cards for such a wonderful cause!
