Is there a more fitting thing for an American cardmaker to do on her blog for Memorial Day weekend than to join with Operation Write Home for a blog hop? I didn't think so. That's why I'm joining others again this year for the OWH Memorial Day Bloghop.
I used OWH Sketch #225 to create this thank you card.
See how the stars are inlaid and then a couple of them are popped up? Come back tomorrow to see a video on how I made this card, plus another card using the same sketch, but rotated and flipped.
Add your email to the follow me by email box to the right and you will get an email when my new post goes up. :)
Be sure to head over to the OWH blog to see what the others have created for this special event. Clicky to go there now.
Supplies:
Paper: Aboard (Authentique), Basic Black, Very Vanilla
Stamps: Hip Notes (Stampin' UP!)
Misc: Banner Framelits (Stampin' UP!), Stitched Stars (Lil' Inker Designs), Versamark, White Embossing Powder
UPDATE: I have added more pictures and video in the next post. Clicky to go there now, or scroll up to see the new post.

I really like how you used negative spaces from the die cuts.

Very nice cards.
Love these cards! I especially love the embossed stitching around the stars. It's very clever and adds a lot of interest to the cards!
This technique is one I've not tried yet. It has that "how did she do that?" factor. Great card!
Love your stars!! The stitched ones are my favorite!
Lovely. The inlaid and "stitched" stars are wonderful. So glad you are an OWH supporter.

Love those die cut stars and dimension
Beautifully done ! The combination of inlaid and popped up "stitched" stars is perfect, but I really like the black border.
Great color choices. I really like the grey background paper with the red and blue. I have those Lil Inker Designs star dies and they are simply the best. I love how you did the inlaid technique with them.
Great card. Simple sentiment and very to the point.
