I’m so excited about today’s blog hop with the E-Team for Operation Write Home Birthday Bash, what a great way to help our troops. A basic card is what Operation Write Home is looking for, one that can be duplicated or mass produced. So our mission for today was to make a basic card, and share some tip on how we would make multiple of that card quickly.
Please join us in creating and sending cards to Operation Write Home. You can read about the Operation Write Home guidelines HERE.

What a great technique. I'm glad you demonstrated the Fiskars stamp press. I've been looking at them and I think they'd be a great tool. We're doing our OWH get together tomorrow. I can't wait! It's always fun to spend time with wonderful people creating great cards for a greater cause!
