World Cardmaking Day Bloghop!
Posted by Operation Write Home on Oct 6, 2012 in Bloghops/Events, Stars and Stamps | 49 comments
Welcome to the best tradition on the web: a bloghop on World Cardmaking Day! It’s one of our favorite events…showing off our crafters and some of our company partners with great creations to inspire your papercrafting!
New to OWH? You’ll want to visit our WELCOME page after hopping
but before getting started making cards…there’s lots of great info for you!
The theme for the hop cards this weekend is holiday & winter cards – and all are using card sketches! Some are using our OWH sketches; if you didn’t know about our sketch collection, you’re in for a treat! It’ll be fun seeing how all the sketches are used in different ways along the hop. Some have posted the sketch they chose, others posted links to the sketches…be sure to note how they’ve adapted the designs and use those ideas in your own crafting! This card – wishing you a wonderful winter full of juggling snowballs – uses Sketch #105 and the Hero Arts OWH Winter Wishes fundraiser stamp set.
As you hop along, here are a few things to note:
- Leave comments for our bloggers; everyone wants to know what you think of their creations. Comment on the element you like best; just posting “great card” doesn’t help us grow as crafters, so we all value your input!
- Do not spam with sales urls—that is considered rude. Leaving your own blog address is fine.
- When leaving your email address to enter for prizes, write it out: “myname at hotmail dot com” to avoid spam.
- Companies have **asterisks** around their names. [ie Check for candy!]
- The links are directly to the posts; so you can hop ANYtime (though candy may time out!). So if you get overwhelmed with creativity, take a break to make a card too!
What? You didn’t get enough inspiration? Really? Well go check out the World Cardmaking Day for lots more blogs to inspire you!
Such awesome cards!! And all for our troops! HOOAH!

Love the juggling snowman card! Super cute! Thanks for all the inspiration!
That was a well spent 4 hours. Thanks to everyone who participated!
WONDERFUL blog hop!! I’ve visited all the blogs and left comments. So. Much. Fun!!!!
What a wonderful blog hop, gorgeous cards , thanks to all who participated. So many wonderful talented people.
Fabulous inspiration – thanks to all of the participants for the terrific ideas! I’m off to make a slew of cards today (laundry can wait).
This is like “inspiration heaven”. Love the ribbon placement.
Your snowman is super cute and I love the May Arts chevron ribbon. I’m only part way through the hop, but have already subscribed to 4 new blogs. That’s how good these contributors are, which is a testament to your extensive and tireless planning and organization. Every card was a labor of love. One of the great things I noticed was several cards that let the image stand on their own without fancy coloring or embellishing. I love CAS cards, so was thrilled to see them. Good work, as always, Sandy and the rest of the OWH team!
I just love the Ribbon choice and the placement of all the elements. This hop has been an wonderful experience and getting the inspiration from each and everyone of the participants is awesome. The repetition of the circular elements is great!
Wonderful bloghop. It’s so much fun to see so many creations. I saw some great techniques along the way. Inkblending, special shapes, folds, color combinations. Fabulous inspiration!
Thank you for a chance to win lovely Hero Arts/OWH stamps!
Thank you for hosting the hop, and more importantly, what you do for our troops! I’m so honored to be a part of today’s festivities! Thank you!
Great hop! Very inspiring! Time to get inky!
I visited all 97 blogs today and tried to leave comments. I’m exhausted, inspired, and excited to get to work making my own variations.
What fun this was today!! This was my first and I went to every one of them!! Everyone is so talented and I can see why our Hero’s love getting these extra special cards!

Great blog hop! I loved all the cards, I even had time to look through the websites older posts for more inspiration. I think I might have to start a blog so I can participate.
Phew! I finished before midnight! Of course, I had hoped to get some cards made tonight, but couldn’t help lingering along the hop to enjoy what everyone else had made. So many amazing cards, techniques and sketches along the way. Thanks again for another fantastic hop OWH!
i enjoyed seeing everyone’s creations and thanks to everyone behind the scenes who put this blog hop together!!
Wow! So much inspiration in this bloghop! I loved seeing everyone’s take on different sketches. I also enjoyed seeing wintery scene creations, non-traditional color choices, and folded circles.
Thanks for all the great ideas and Happy World Cardmaking Day!

Just finished the hop it took me two days! So many pretty cards so many ideas…I am off to create some more cards with some of these ideas !
What a wonderful and fun hop! Amazing inspiration along the way! Thanks to all who put this hop together!
I think that was one of the best blog hops that OWH has had. I have soooo many new ideas now. Must go back through some of them again. THANKS to every participant.
Loving the blog hop even though I’m a day late! I’ve gone half way through (starting from my own link) but now Inlinkz is not loading and now I don’t even see the links! Bummer…guess I’ll go make some cards and check back later to see if things are back.

Awesome bloghop! I’ve only made it about 1/3 the way through, but will certainly go through the rest as I have time. It’s great to see all the different sketches used. I am especially enjoying the card “recipes” that Club Scrap is doing on the hops too! Thanks so much to the companies that participated and all the bloggers that shared all their wonderful creations!!!
Whew I made it through em! So much great inspiration! Loved the unconventional color palettes on some of these!

these cards have offered such inspiration! thanks to all the great crafts for sharing their ideas.
