Welcome to my stop on the Cards for Heroes mini-bloghop!

My friend Kate has been making Cards for Heroes and I’ve decided that I’d like to join her. This is my very first card for them.

For this card, I cut Kraft cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ for the base. I cut some Real Red and Always Artichoke 5/8″ grosgrain ribbon to make the ribbon on the “package.” I used the Real Red, Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip, and Yoyo Yellow markers to ink the oval scallop stamp in the Christmas Punch stamp set. I love to use markers to add color and dimension to stamps. I used the Oval Scallop punch to punch out the stamped image. I used a small hole punch to punch a hole to put some twine through. I used a couple of glue dots to attach the tag and twine to the center of the “present.”

Simple, easy, and cute. I hope to make a lot more of these and other cards for Cards For Heroes.

Cards For Heroes is focusing on making holiday cards. The deadline for sending in holiday cards is November 1.
