The OWH mid-month challenge for June is to use banners. I've been trying to use up all of those strips of dsp that I've kept after cutting into 12x12 sheets, and today I've made several cards with them. These are all patriotic-themed birthday cards using 2 different SU! sentiments and some punched stars.
Here's the rest of them....
Here are some more colorful ones using a Sweet'n Sassy Birthday die, along with a Simon Says Stamp "happy" word die. I added a MS punched cupcake on each one, running the base through a paper crimper and popping the "icing" up on foam tape with a little gemstone.
Here are a few more using another SU! sentiment. I used Tombow markers to color in the globe to match the rest of the card.
Here is my take on the OWH sketch challenge #256. I used GinaK Wild Lilac card stock with a CB Cape Cod ef, and a Unity sentiment. The hearts were done with a Lil Inker stitched hearts die set and I added some matching mini brads from my stash.
This card strays a bit from the sketch but I like how it turned out. I added a mini punched flower with a pearl, and some PTI green ribbon to match the card base. The ef is from the Sizzix curlique & hearts set.
I've been making multiples of cards lately to use my supplies and get my final OWH box ready to mail in plenty of time. It feels good to clear out some of my stash and put it to good use.
Happy first day of summer, and a very happy Father's day to all the great dads out there! Thanks for stopping by!

Great use of those strips! I've got a box of them myself. I'm just got very good at using them.... Love the stamp on the second card and nice to see that you're still using the OWH sketches. I guess I need to get my rear in gear.

Oh my...what a beautiful bunch of snippety banner cards you've shared. And gosh, I had forgotten today is officially summer. We've had 100F temps all week long. That is one brilliant red, white & blue bday card, very patriotic too. Each one is so colorful with the different banner colors and what a fab design. Well done, you! Don't know how you manage all these wonderful cards.
Brilliant display of brilliant cards.xx{aNNie My Personal Blog}
You've been so busy it makes me envious! I love all those banner cards, great for using up those snippets. I was very inspired by the red, white and blue ones as I have some July 4th cards to make but am lacking ideas. This gets me going. The embossed cards are simple and nice as well. That is a nice sketch to use to knock out some cards. Thanks for sharing all your lovelies with us!
I just saw where your cute critter puppy dog made top 3 at Shopping our Stash. Congrats!!! He is definitely a cutie!
Wow! You've done a great job on all of these. I am going to case some of these for my missionary care packages! I love the banners and the different ways you made each set. Just a great bunch of cards!
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW, Carol! You are a MACHINE!! These are all magnificent cards and you are so generous of your time and talent for OWH!! Thank you for all this incredible inspiration!! Hugs, Darnell

Carol, I don't even know where to begin... WOW! Those brightly-colored banner cards are fabulous, and you've done such a nice job of interpreting the sketch. Looks like you're putting together one last very special box for OWH!
