    Super card! My middle son recently joined the Air Force, and just finished Basic Training, he is now in Missouri for further training – so he hasn’t been deployed yet – but he could be at some point in the future. So being a Mom who would like to receive something from a son, I am going to make some cards to send in for other Moms. Thanks.
    A spin on one of your card sayings. Of all the scrappy blogs in the whole wide world, I’m glad I come to yours. 🙂

  14. Kathy A. says:

    Thanks for the great tutorial. Going to go try this technique as soon as I am through hoppin’!

    Thanks Jennifer for your super video showing the marbelizing technique. You are such a good teacher and oh yes, I love that card and those sentiments. Thanks for your support of OWH!

  17. Barb Murphy says:

    gorgeous cards! i love the little CS strips you added…i never think to do it myself 🙂

  19. Krista Baginsky says:

    That is such a great idea. I love the card

  20. Carol L says:

    I love watching your creative processes on film! That background paper looks amazing, and the cards are perfect for the guys! I love your idea for those thin strips, (and had one of those forehead-slapping DUH moments when I saw it) and those sentiments are just perfect for OWH cards!

  21. sara says:

    Love the Distress Paint, now I really have to get some.

  22. Lynn G. says:

    What an awesome technique. I am sort of new to stamping and am trying to learn all I can. Thank you so much for sharing.

  23. Brenda Becknell says:

    What a perfect background for your earth stamp!

  24. Deborah says:

    Love everything about this card, especially the little strips masquerading as a mat. Why didn’t I ever think of that! I can see it will really cut down on bulk and save paper too. Thanks.

  25. Carol Mc says:

    Great technique video. The cards look great. I will go and
    check out the Operation Write Home website. Thank you
    for the chance to win some great stamp sets.

  26. Melissa Maxwell-Doherty says:

    I don’t have Distress paints…yet. So I am going to try some other products and see what I can create. The layout is wonderful. I think I might modify this layout for some Mother’s Day cards. Thanks for the inspiration.

  27. Phyllis Freese says:

    Loved seeing how you created the marbleized paper. I also liked the tip about adding the thin strips of darker cardstock to the sides of your stamped image to make it appear as though you mounted it on darker cardstock.

  28. Wonderful cards – great new things to play with! I already have those sets, so if you pick me, draw someone else.

  29. Linda E says:

    Great design and technique!

  30. Aundria B. says:

    What a fun technique to try & your card is just stunning! Love how you used a blue card base and striped background that gives just enough texture to this card without taking any attention away from the globe and sentiment. Thank you for sharing this technique & this card, for the chance to win some HA/OWH stamps, and for your support of OWH!

  31. Kim Humbert says:

    very nice idea! thanks for sharing the world with the world!
