OWH Memorial Day Blog Hop!
Welcome to the Operation Write Home Memorial Day blog hop!
Operation Write Home supports our nation’s armed forces by sending blank handmade greeting cards to write home on, as well as “AnyHero” cards of gratitude to encourage them. We are proud to support this amazing company!
I created an “AnyHero” card based on one of the great sketches that OWH provides.
Since I have an ‘oops’ on this card, I thought it would be a good time to add a little reminder about OWH guidelines to keep the troops safe… no glitter!
When I created this card, I completely forgot and added a bit of glitter to a couple of the red stars. I have since removed those and replaced them with regular non-glittered stars. ;)

Cute card, love the RWB theme. Can’t wait to see the other projects, but I couldn’t find the link to the OWH blog hop.
A very nice card !
Love the card design.
very nice card – it would someone very happy to receive it. the great thing about OWH cards is htat it makes so many people smile – the creator of the card, the shipper, the heroes who look through the cards and choose it to mail and then the person who receives it – they smile all over everyday when they look at that card from their loved one.
thanks for support Operation Write Home.

Love the layout of the card…the angle is fun and eye catching. Thanks for supporting OWH.
Love the angled layout. It gives a relatively simple card a lot of pizazz.
Beautiful card…clean, simple look really works!
I love the angled aspect of this card. Always looking for new, and great, ideas!
FABULOUS card Stephanie – LOVE the angled panels and stars!!!
THANK YOU for sharing your OWH inspiration and THANK YOU for sharing about your “oops” too – it is a great reminder to us all.
Great card! Love the angled panels!
Nice card
Your card layout is so cool – the way you placed the white cardstock. It adds a lot to the card.
Your white-angled cardstock with the stars and perfect sentiment is a winner for OWH, especially in red, white & blue. Happy Memorial Day weekend!
A beautiful card, Stephanie!
Love the way you angled the paper on this card!!
This was one of the most unusual OWH sketches ever and your approach is marvelous. Very classy. Those tiny silver embellishments are a perfect finishing touch and thanks for sharing the reminder about OWHs ‘no glitter’ rule too.
Great job with the sketch. Thanks for supporting OWH.
We all have “oops” moments. I’ve become quite expert at covering up my “oops” because I’ve made so many — then the final looks even better than the original planned. Adore the way the card is set off-centered!
Awesome card, Steph! Love your perfect placement of all the stars! Fab design too!
Great card! I love the simplicity of it. Thanks also for the reminder not to use glitter on OWH cards! Big hugs, Kristina
Love the angled look and the RWB theme is perfect.
Beautiful card. I love the stars and the angle of the paper!
What a great patriotic card!
I love the clean simplicity of this card!
What a great card, I love the clean feel to it and how you angled the sentiment piece.
Cute card! Love the stars and thanks for fixing your little mistake regarding glitter.
Great use of this sketch! I love how the layers of red/white/blue look. Those gems are the perfect finishing touch.
Awesome card! Love the CAS!
I really love this one. Thanks for your support of OWH.
Love this angled card. This was a very hard sketch to make and you did a fabulous job executing it. Sometimes with glitter (if it is only a little bit) is to cover it with glossy accents. Have a great day and thanks for supporting OWH!
Lovely cards. The OWH Memorial Day Blog Hop was just lovely with great cards and designs.
Love the stars stamps and dies.
The angle cut really makes this card dynamic! Love it…
Awesome card – thanks for sharing with us!! Love the angled thing!!
Thanks for the reminder! I love the fact you told us the oop and colors and quality, of your card. TFS
Yeah, that glitter rule is really hard to keep in mind…really important, of course, but I love to add the sparkle!
Great color choices. Some time it’s hard not to use glitter.
Love your patriotic card.
Wow, what a great example of this sketch! I have yet to try this sketch, but I think I will now thati see a great example. Thanks so much for supporting OWH.

The simplicity of this card makes it all so wonderful!! Thank you for being apart of this wonderful operation, it truly is amazing!
Beautiful card I love the layout. I will have to remember that as it’s very attractive that way. Wonderful card.
Love me some off set card panels…always eye-catching and, I think, clean looking.
I like how the card is offset! Love the layout!
What a great layout! Very nice card, and pretty colors!
Fabulous card
This is too funny. I almost added glitter stars to my card for the OWH bloghop too. At the last moment I remembered that glitter is a big no-no. How could I forget the #1 rule? :) Thanks for the reminder and the sponsoring SN. I love the little pearl dots you added to your stars. Very creative way to add some bling without being a “danger” to our troops.
Great card! Happy Memorial Day, everyone!
Love this simple but striking card! Thanks for the reminder about not using glitter!!
