Welcome to the InkPaperStamps stop on the Operation Write Home Blog Hop–The Dog and I are glad to see you!
Our card today is appropriate for anyone you wish to extend greetings to this year.
A harbinger of peace. . . .
Equally at home on a friend’s mantle or a colleague’s desk, this colorful easel card is held open with rhinestone brads. Crumple and crinkle your brown cardstock until it separates, then tear carefully to create North and South America.
Don’t worry about getting it absolutely perfect–strategic placement of the graceful dove covers little imperfections.

You are awesome to not only play in the BLog Hop, but to also be donating to this wonderful cause. I am also an OWH card-maker and sent off a package of cards, just yesterday!
I think it’s such a great cause and they are lucky to have you!!
Good Luck on this fundraiser! It’s a fabulous cause!!
What a perfect card for the troops! Please tell the dog my cats say “Meow” They like making cards too! LOL
Simple. Bold. Powerful. well done!
Cool easel card! I love the smoothness of the white dove agains the textures in the olive branch, globe and land. Nice job! Thanks for joining in the hop and supporting Operation Write Home.
I like the way you did the ‘land’ on the earth. You make it clear that it is easy to do and not to worry about perfection
I love this card. Great idea!
lovely, clean card and I love the message– and thanks for your generosity! Diane

What a lovely card.
Very nice job! I love the unusual style, materials, etc you use, very creative! Way to think outside the box!!
Thanks for sharing this cute card and for your 44 cents per comment! That’s an awesome way to support OWH!!!
Beautiful card. Thanks for supporting OWH.
Fun! I want to reach out and touch North and South America. They look soft. Terrific colors.
Thank you for supporting OWH! I’d much rather have $$ go to them than a chance at a prize. Your card is so unique — don’t think I’ve ever seen a stand up card like that before. I love the torn mulberry paper behind the dove!
This card is so clever! I really love the uniqueness (ha-is THAT a word?) of it!
Beautiful!
Holly – Another work of brilliance! What an amazing idea!
Hi there you two. First off what a great card, I just love the paper crafted world and the Dove. Love it!

Love this card! It is so elegant and unique! Thank you for supporting OWH!!
This card is powerful…both the design and the message. You and the dog did a terrific job!
What a beautiful card, very eye catching
what a beautiful card! 1… i love that you used non-traditional colors!, and 2… i love how you used brads to hold the easel up. i often have to over-layer a strip because it doesn’t always hold my card up!!
Oh wow, that is a totally unique card! I am sooooooo CASEing you, I sure hope that’s okay. Beautiful job!
And thanks for your generosity in matching comments!!!!!! Our shipping budget appreciates you!!!
Sandy, OWH

Love your easel card. And what a great way to raise money for OWH.
As a military wife, let me say thank you for sending your hard work to those who could use a pick me up.
Very nice card, creative. Thanks for your generosity!
I really like the torn paper “land” on the earth, though my preference would have been to make it dark green rather than brown (personal preference – the brown looks fine!). I was especially taken with your clever way of “covering” imperfections in the torn paper with the dove! What a lovely card!
How creative, very cute idea!
I just love this card, it’s a little work of art! Thank you so much for your support of Operation Write Home!
What a beautiful card!! Very creative ! And as a mother of an Active Duty Army Officer, I appreciate you helping
OWH.
What a great card with so many techniques! I love the torn paper look and you were so clever to make the world globe using that technique. The embossed/debossed leaf gives a great effect next to the bright white dove. And making this an easel card is the icing on the cake. How kind of you, too, to donate postage costs to OWH for comments and following your blog, nicely generous!
Awesome. Very generous of you to donate to OWH. Great cause.
