Do you ever have trouble making AnyHero Cards?
{If you don't know what an AnyHero Card is, Click Here }
Sometimes I make a card with every intention of it being an AnyHero Card but then I think OWH always needs Thank You cards so I put it in the regular pile.
Then I tried to make a regular Thank You card for the OWH Blog Hop but made the squares too big so it ended being an AnyHero card. Then it hit me! Just make the base a non-A2 card! Then it can't be a regular card! For me a top fold horizontal card shows off the card to the Hero the best so that is what I try to always make. A card with a fold on the side or on the top of a vertical card is harder to see or is hidden in the envelope and is better for an AnyHero card.
You can cut one piece of 8.5 x 11 cardstock into three pieces: 8.5 x 3.66ish
Add your thicker embellishments...
Add those wooden embellishments...
Add some scraps...
Add a sentiment...
Round a corner or two...
Maybe a die cut or decorative stamp...
You can try new designs or techniques. It's fun to make something different and still needed!
Now just write a quick note and let a Hero know how much you appreciate their service. Check Here for some examples or Here for a video.

Thanks for the great tips for Any Hero Cards. Your cards are really nice. I love the colors and the text and graphics. I have some oversize card bases and envelopes that I couldn't use for OWH card. Now I know I can use them for Any Hero Cards. Thanks for the links too.

Great group of cards Annette and super advice about Any Hero cards being a good way to use some odds and end or some larger cards or the vertical folds. Particularly like that square with the button in the middle.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula~
DeleteI forgot how fun it is to make these "non-standard" cards!
So glad to have learned about this card project, perhaps the girls and I should create a few together.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see what you and your girls design!
