Welcome to Operation Write Home Memorial Day Blog Hop! What a great cause to participate in! I thought it would be fun to make some cards and send them off so someone can put a smile on a loved ones face.
I made two cards for todays occasion. Since they need to be mailed I kept them rather simple. I sure hope they will be appreciated. My first card uses JustRite Papercrafts newest stamp set called Anchors Away, which I colored in with Ranger Distress inks. The paper I used is from Samantha Walker’s Creative Imaginations Nautical paper line, which I thought was masculine and patriotic colors as well and fit the bill in my eyes.
My second card is more of a feminine card and is made using Samantha Walkers Creative Imaginations Tea Party paper line, which is just beautiful! The sentiment I embossed onto the label using black embossing powder and the stamp came from Samantha’s Unity Stamp set called Encompassed Grace, which is probably my favorite from Samantha.
Well, that is it as I am trying to keep this short and simple. I know there are a lot of participants, so you want to check out what everyone created! Make sure you hop over to the official Operations Write Home Blog to see all the participants posts.
Well, thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,
Great cards. I love the paper.
Great cards, love the papers and sentiments!
The first has every element included that makes it perfect for someone away from home! I love it, and I also love the ladies card too – very pretty!

Great map frame and wonderful paper choices too! These both came out very nicely. I like distressing too, It often seems to be the "just right" finishing touch. Thanks for joining in the Memorial Day hop and for supporting OWH!

Hi Eva! These are both so wonderful. I love your style so much! Hope all is well.
Hi Eva!
Your cards are so deep with gorgeous colors…love them!! Beautiful work!
Blessings!
Great cards! Thanks for Hopping with us today!
Great "operation"!
Your coloring on the first card is gorgeous. Love both your cards.
Your cards are beautiful. I especially love the masculine one – it can be so difficult to find a good card for a guy and yours is amazing!
Wonderful cards. My favorite is the first one with the globe. I love the way you colored the stamp.
Great cards–you used such stunning colors!
Both are stunning cards in their coloring & composition. I am curious how you 'color' using distress inks.
Hummer Hugs,
Misty

Eva, both your cards are terrific! I have to admit my jaw dropped open at the first one. It's a stunner!
They're both so fabulous! But I have to admit that I had mad love for the first one. It's so difficult to do guy cards and I find myself falling back on the same brown/sepia or blues. But you really added some fabulous dimensions to yours!
Beautiful cards Eva! The first one is my favorite 🙂
Lovely cards with awesome dp and images. Happy Memorial Day weekend. Hugs
Both cards are so beautiful, Eva! I love the touches of black on the second one. Very elegant!
Eva,
Both cards are lovely. I love how you used Distress Inks on your first card. I'm just beginning to use those and am amazed by all that can be done with them.
You've combined such gorgeous papers in ways that I would never have imagined. I love the inspiration here today! Thanks.
Both of your cards are stunnig!
I can't imagine your cards NOT being appreciated! They're beautiful!

Great cards with some beautiful papers and lovely sentiments! Love the plaid and floral mix on your second card.
Enjoyed looking at your cards – I like the stripes and polka dots together
Very pretty and so many little details! Love the "vintage" feel you gave them with the distressing!
Thanks for sharing!
The first card is my favorite – beautiful colors and coloring! You tied it all together very well.
WOW! They are both gorgeous, but the first one is definately my favorite! Love your coloring, and I see some more shopping in my future! Thanks for supporting OWH!
Oh my! I think I need to go to Just Right – that image is a great one and you did a super job on it! Beautiful work! 🙂
Thanks for hopping with OWH!!
I like the "waves" on the top half of the nautical card. Thanks for supporting OWH.
Wonderful cards–I like the stamps and papers you used.
Beautiful cards, love the paper.
Really love the first card with the map and the wavy lines…super nice! TFS!!!
very beautiful and elegant cards. The nautical paper does make for a good masculine card. I love the colors and printed papers you used in the more feminine card. Butterfly is a nice touch.
Such a nice job with the diecuts. Like the papers too

Oh, I'm sure they will be appreciated! They are both wonderful cards but the first one is my favorite 🙂
Great cards Eva!
Both of these are beautiful! If those wavy lines are just paper they are amazing. It looks embossed.
Oh Eva, what lovely cards. It's so fun to see what can be created, and so well at that.
