WT955 - Velum

For my card I dug in my scrap drawer and found this printed velum that needed to be used up. I cut squares out of the panel and then glued the velum behind the squares.

I finished the card with the white heat embossed sentiment for a quick neutral birthday card.

Scrappy Birthday

 

FS855 - This week's very talented Featured Stamper Anne Marie aka Amjak. I found this wonderful INSPIRATION.

I love this fun technique as it helps use up scraps. For my card I used papers that are similar in color to the designer paper under the birthday sentiment.

Once the strips were glued down I added the birthday sentiment on dimensionals and added several bright pink gems that are similar to the circle under the birthday sentiment.

F4A696 - Summer (I think of flowers for summer)

For my card today I pulled out one of my favorite Heartfelt Creations sets. I stamped and cut all the lilac flowers then stamped the leaves and colored them with copics.

I then shaped all the flowers and some of the smaller leaves and layered over some purple lace and the lacy die cut. I finished the flowers with a purple bow and some nuvo drops and stickles.

The sentiment was popped up on dimensionals.

I am so sad to see that Heartfelt Creations will only be putting out one more collection. I have really enjoyed their stamps and dies over the years and I hope to see that others will continue to use their stamps and dies even with them no longer being made.
