Mama Elephant & Operation Write Home Blog Hop

Neat and Tangled Post Please click HERE.
...................................................................................................................................................................


Hello Everyone this is my second post of the day
Welcome to the HOP :)
If you came by from Pamela Ho's Blog you are on the right place.



Mama Elephant is partnering this summer with Operation Write Home - they are a nonprofit that sends beautiful handmade cards to our service members so that they can write home to their families. Isn’t that just the best? There’s no Hallmark store in the desert, so this is a pretty important gift we can give them as crafters!

The “In My heart” set was inspired by the mission of OWH; Mama Elephant knows that many of those serving overseas have little children at home that they write to. So we designed cute little kids and sentiments to express just how much those little folks are missed! Mama Elephants images on this set are done in such a way that they can be adapted to different ethnicity, making this a really flexible set.
MAMA ELEPHANT will be donating 20% of the proceeds of the stamp sets sold on their retail site from now until July 31st - we really want to help them fundraise for all their efforts!

We know you are excited to join in on the mission to serve the troops - be sure you visit the OWH website and read all the guidelines carefully….you’ll learn about why glitter is dangerous to send, so leave the stickles behind when making cards for heroes! Lots more information is available on their Welcome page - tons of questions are answered there! And they have a fun YouTube show each weekday with project info, tutorials, and more - check it out HERE.

For my card I used the stamp sets IN MY HEART and PARTY KIT.
For the sentiment I used the UP and AWAY.

I first distress the top of the panel with peacock feather ink. Then stamped the streamers in different colors on the white panel and dotted lines. This helps the little boy to hang on to something :) I think he is really cute!

I then splatter the panel with Peacock Feather after diluting it with water, splatter it with Heidi Swapp in Gold, and Studio Calico Mr. Huey in Shine.

Next, I stamped, colored, and die-cut the little kid image then adhere him on the dotted line hanging :0) with foam dots.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment to finish off the card .
