The latest Tuesday Trigger is up at Moxie Fab World – Right on Target.
This is my second submission – my first was very different in the end than what I’d envisioned. This card also qualifies for the Shopping Our Stash Challenge #101 – Scrap Attack, as I worked with bits and pieces from my Best of Damask pad. (I really should have bought both that I found on clearance…)
Wausau Fleck cardstock, My Mind’s Eye Best of Damask. Sentiment is Studio 112 in Memento Tuxedo Black.
The Play Date Cafe has their latest challenge up – #182 – Maroon Poppy Soft Jade.
Here’s my take -
I knew I’d seen a form of this color combination in my paper stash – my DP is from a DCWV Christmas pack. Burgundy is Paper Garden Cropping Block Reds. Wausau Fleck cardstock. Sentiment is Studio G in Memento Tuxedo Black. Pick Your Plum Baker’s Twine. Fiskars Corner Punch.
Today’s card uses a new stamp set that I got.

I was attempting to create a target using 4 quarters and 4 rings with 8 different patterns. Because each color that I cut was slightly off width wise, I couldn’t do it neatly so I thought and played around with the pieces and realized if I just built a quarter, it was arrowish in design. The perfect accent for a CAS Thank You card for Operation Write Home. Of course, I now have enough pieces to make 32 cards…

I was a card making machine this weekend.
Today’s card features… wait for it… Washi. I know, you’re so surprised…
Wausau Fleck cardstock, TPC Black Corduroy and Parchment Square in Pink. Sentiment is TPC Vintage Keys in Memento Tuxedo Black. Pick Your Plum Secret Garden Washi.
Today’s card was made with more Washi, plus a layered thanks.
It ties in well to this month’s Design Bootcamp at Operation Write Home – Variation.
The Variation comes in the shape – the angles of the chevron in the washi, and the round from the sentiment. The design has a strong focal point and the colors are analogous. It also follows the rule of thirds as the Washi runs along one gridline and the circle intersects along another.
I made another 5 of these, keeping them basically identical. OWH can always use Thank You cards.
Wausau Fleck cardstock, Pick Your Plum Washi, layered paper is Making Memories Coastline Collection. Sentiment is Doodlebug in Memento Tuxedo Black.
So, just like she introduced me to card making and Operation Write Home, Leslie / The Crooked Stamper piqued my interest in regards to Washi tape. It’s fun and colorful and oh so easy to use. I tend to buy it when Pick Your Plum has it as their item of the day….
Today’s card was made using 3 sunshine bright colors of tape – yellow, pale orange and bright orange.
I love using this stuff because it looks fancy but is quick – I made 6 cards in less than 10 minutes, and that includes adhering cardfronts to bases, putting my OWH labels on the back and tucking them in their envelopes. I varied the placement of the 3 strips of tape -
They’re bright and cheerful and are perfect thank you cards for Heroes to send back home.

Today’s card started off as a cardbase – I’ve had a cloud background card ready for months. It finally dawned on me how to use it in the easiest of ways -
