Let's get inspired!

One of the side blessings in being a cardmaker with OWH is having a great opportunity to really stretch ourselves! That doesn't mean becoming cardmaking 'machines' - piling on pressure because of the desire to help our heroes. We have plenty of us involved to keep the cards going, so take a deep breath, relax, and challenge yourself to step up your own creativity!

  • Check out all the blogs on our cardmaker list - lots of inspiration there!
  • Do a tutorial search on YouTube - if you find something awesome, go post it on the wall on our Facebook page so we can all see!
  • Check out our Flickr gallery, then upload photos of your favorite OWH cards to Flickr and share with us too!

Go out there and get creative!
