Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to Die Versions and OWH BLOG HOP!
With this March new military release it was just natural to make a mutual blog hop with OPERATION WRITE HOME blog and Die- Versions and both OWH and DV designers used this new gorgeous Military release
So as this is a blog hop, you should begin from the first stop here: http://operationwritehome.org/starsandstamps/
Be sure to follow us all and to comment as we do have a nice random giveaway from Die- Versions to one lucky participant.
If you came to my blog from Donna's blog here- you are on the right way
Donna @ http://donnainksla.com and if not- just go to OWH and begin there.
So maybe it looks a bit clean and simple for my style, but then those are the rules I had to follow with those cards here.
I got 3 dies from new release and I made 2 cards.
The first one is a pure military one and I added DV die cut THANK YOU words from the old die.
The second card is a bit more bulky, but still stands for OWH standarts and I used one new hexagon Dreaming of you die - cut twice and layered) and 2 other DV dies- buttons from January release and Memories edge strip.
And a second one

ReplyDeleteHow clever is that - using a real chain on the dog tags. Really like your creativity!

ReplyDeleteYour cards are too cool!
ReplyDeleteClever use of the real chain and I can find those cheap-definitely stealing that idea. :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a really nice job with the layering on the dreaming cut. I was thinking I might not need that one but now .... This blog hop is going to make a dent in my crafting budget! :) such great ideas from everyone.
I adore your first card. It is so inspirational with its clean lines and message. Thank you for sharing
ReplyDeletelove both cards! The use of the corrugated paper reminded me that I have a bunch in my stash, and I need to pull it out and use it! It adds dimension and texture.
ReplyDeleteLove the layout of your first card and your second card is so sweet! Thank you for supporting Operation Write Home!
ReplyDeleteI love the boots! And the little heart locket you added is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe first card is my favorite. I love the way you layered the dies. I hadn't thought of that. Such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the sketch you used with these cards. I always find starting with an OWH sketch helpful. I love your cards.

ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous cards! I LOVE the footprint card! The little additions are fabulous! Your color choices for the second card are wonderful!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!
These cards may be clean and simple by your style, but I see them as full of class and charm...sure to bring smiles to the recipients.
ReplyDeleteVery nice cards. I love how bold they are!
ReplyDeleteIrit, I liked the 'boot footprints' die best. Such a creative mind. Great ideas for ways to incorporate the dies on cards for our servicemen to tell their loved ones back home they miss them or our 'Any Hero' cards.
ReplyDeleteI REALLY enjoyed the blog hop!!! I was SO inspired and anxious to make many new cards.
Thank you Irit, and the entire design team for all your hard work for our servicemen! I'm proud to participate.

ReplyDeleteLove thecards. The footprint card is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThe use of all the elements on the first card is perfect, the matching chain to simulate dog tags is genius! The second card will make anyone who receives it so happy, layering of colours, the happy feel, can make it easier to go to bed at night knowing your loved one is dreaming of you from far away....we can always meet in dream land!

ReplyDeleteLoving all the mixing of your dies - WOW! Awesome job!

I love these both. I have a soft spot for military theme cards and you showcase the boot prints die and badge die so nicely. I like the colors on Dreaming of You. Great cards.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards - I like that you created a lot of texture without overdoing the bulk. Both of these are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAww... That "dreaming of you" is adorable. I love it! Thanks so much for sharing! This has been such a fun hop!
ReplyDeletethe layered die cuts on the first card are awesome! love the dreaming of you also, very sweet card to send to a little one back home!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are awesome...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love the layering of the due cuts.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are wonderful, but I especially love the second one. The colors really support the theme of the card. Tfs!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Irit. I really like how you overlapped the boot prints and turned them into a background element for the other die. Thanks for participating in the hop and for supporting OWH!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are very nice! I really like the colors you chose for the memories card. Super!
ReplyDeleteSuper cards. Love the layering of the die cuts and the chain - wonderful addition.
ReplyDeleteVery nice cards. I really liked the colorful look of the second one with the Memories die down the side. But the military one is right on for a masculine card which OWH is always needing more of.
ReplyDeleteThe details on your cards is stunning and inspirational.
ReplyDeletegreat cards I love hexagons so that one is my fav, that little smiley face on the star tooooo cute.
ReplyDeleteI love the fragmented detailing on your cards. It's almost a touch of Steampunk, but not quite. The brick backing diecut is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow - that first card is a work of art. A great way to use many dies.
ReplyDeleteYour cards ARE little works of art! I love the textures and they are loaded with interesting layers and details. TFS!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you layered all the different dies to make "scenes" on yoru cards.
ReplyDeleteLove your layering!
ReplyDeleteIrit, very nicely done. I love the chain at the boots in the first card, and the chain of the smiling star in the second card - and I always love the "Memories" edge die - it goes really well with dreaming of you. Great ideas, thanks. Ute
ReplyDeleteGreat cards and great use of the dies. The more I see the bootprint die used the more I love it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you used the boot die cut on this card - I'm going to have to add it to my wish list. Also, love all the texture & colors on your second card - that little star pendant is so cute! Thank you for sharing these wonderful cards & for your support of OWH.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used camo colors on the boot card and the memories card is so bright and cheerful. Very creative. TFS
ReplyDeleteLoved both of your cards and the color combination was beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow on both cards! The layers are perfect! I like the brick wall die.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards! The double layering on the second really pulls the entire card together. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous--absolutely love the brick wall-- perfect card!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! I especially like how you paired the memories edge die with the hexagon dreamin' die. lovely card :)
ReplyDeleteI love your style- the almost collage type style and the partial brick wall on the 1st and the torn paper on the 2nd! TFS and nice job!
ReplyDeleteTrès belles cartes!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your cards and I really love your style too! The bright colors, the paper layering--it makes your cards really stand out! I love them all!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, and very masculine. I'm that will make the guys happy! Thanks for sharing your talent.
ReplyDeleteI really love your cards...so different! There is a lot going on, yet they are not too "busy". I like the outline effects of the dies on the first cards and all the textures on the second.
