OTWC #47 and Wee #45: United We Stamp

Used the colors of the Off the Wall Craftiness Challenge to make a card for the United We Stamp challenge #45 hosted by Wee Memories.  They are making cards to send to Operation Write Home.  It's been several years since I have made cards for that organization so I was eager to make one.  I hope to make more later in the week.  If you'd like to make a card to send, check the guidelines HERE.

Supplies:
Paper: cardstock and kraft

OTWC and CCC: purple fun

Blending a couple challenges in this card. 

The colors were inspired by the Off the Wall Craftiness Challenge #47 while the design was inspired by the City Crafter Challenge #45: Nothing To It (no ribbon, button, flowers, etc). 

Here's my flat "thank you" card. 
I stamped the butterflies and colored them with my Prismacolor pencils.  Normally, I would have paper pieced them, popped them and added wire for the antenna, but I had the pull the reins back for the challenge.  I am really happy with how the colors worked with the kraft paper and how the butterflies pop without pop dots!

Here's the inside:

SSS and OTWC #44: treat bags

Ahhhhh the sun is shining and it is over 25 degrees!  YEAH!

This is the last of three treat bags that I made for a teacher gift. 

I am submitting it to the  Simon Says Stamp: Love is in the Air challenge and

The bags were stamped with StazOn using an old heart set from Stampin' Up. 

The lifesaver packs were covered with coordinating papers. 

I used a white base for the topper and stapled it on and then decorated the top to hide the staple marks on the front.

OTWC #36: browns

Today's card was inspired by the Off the Wall Craftiness Challenge #36.  It features a monochromatic color scheme of browns.  I love this little puppy stamp!  The shading on the puppy's side looks really red in the photo, but not as much in real life.  This card will go to a teen helper at church for serving in the preschool ministry.  Thanks to Artfuldelight for sponsoring this week's challenge.

OTWC Challenge #29

Hi there. 

Here is a card inspired by the colors in this week's Off the Wall Craftiness challenge #29. 

Thanks to this week's sponsor, The Stamps of Life. 

The stamps are from an old Stampin' Up called "Espress Yourself". 

I stamped the background beans with Versamark. 

The mugs were stamped with Memento Tuxedo black and then colored with watercolor pencils.  The sentiment was stamped on the white and then again on green.

 I pieced the two words from the green. 

I wrapped the top panel with strings and then popped it with foam tape.   

Thanks for looking.  -Kelly
