Week of 1/12/19 Cards

 IC683 - The Spruce where I found these stunning FLOWERS.

USEIT2019 - These flowers and the sentiment....just sitting on my desk.

I am trying to use stuff up again this year. It is my goal to get a very large pile of stuff that is in a tote on my table used this year. I did good last year but I am still not done with the pile so it is my goal again this year. These flowers and this sentiment were in that pile just waiting for a card.

Embossed the white layer, shaped the flowers, layered and finished off with Nuvo Drops.

 FS622 - the incredibly talented KATHY SCHWEINFURTH aka dani114 - I found this amazing CARD.

I have this stamp set and actually had one of the flowers left on my desk of stuff to use up already colored. Rather than die cutting the BG I embossed it. Then popped the sentiment and flower on dimensionals and used nuvo drops rather than sequins. I also changed it to a sympathy card.

USEIT2019 - The large die cut butterflies

My goal for 2019 is a continuation of 2018 to use up a large stack of items on my craft table that has been sitting in a bin of die cuts and embellishments taking up space. These large butterflies on the left were in that stack. They were already die cut I added the black marker to them to give them some color.

Cut the layers, stamped the sentiment and glued. Super fast stack of cards, used up all the large die cut butterflies that I had and created about 8 cards for some thank you notes to send for some gifts we received this year and to build my stash back up. Now to get them written and out in the mail. :)

 FS621 - the very talented Barb Gregg aka Amisjag, I found this super CARD and really was drawn to the colors.
I had this image colored up planning on using it this year and never got the card finished. Cut the layers and embossed the snowflakes layers. Added a red ribbon like Barb's card to finish it off.

I can't get enough of coloring this super cute image. I did these pretty simple with just coloring and adding the sentiment. The original card is HERE and it is a bit more of a step up than these two with the bow and veggie bag.

Stamped the AI image and colored with copics. Cut the layers and shaped the flowers that were sitting on my desk waiting to get used.

Lose 20...
 WT721 - A is for Automobile
My niece wanted a Toyota E86 and a big 3 for her 3rd anniversary card. Well I aim to please but there is no stamp for the car she needed. Oh and it had to be a white car with a black hood. So I drew this up for her and colored it to match what she wanted. Apparently there is a Japanese cartoon with this car that she and her husband watch.
Drew the car and colored with copics. Cut the 3 with my cricut and stamped the happy anniversary with versamark and heat embossed in white. Popped the car on dimensionals.

F4$463 - Recycle A Christmas Card
SCSCCJAN19 - It Starts Up North - Added Snow
CCC19JAN - Let's Glitz It Up - The DP is glittery and I added stickles to the falling snow.
I made a ton of these CARDS and had a bunch of scrap edges left over that were too pretty to toss but not large enough to use on the background of a card. So I am recycling this out of my trash pile because I did not think I would use it being as it was so small.
Grabbed a piece of the scrap paper and layered on the red CS. Colored this image with copics and cut down. Layered the image and finished off with a ribbon.

Week of 12/29/18 Cards

 FS620 - the absolutely incredibly talented Melody aka lacyquilter is this weeks featured stamper. Can I just say her gallery is amazing and I am blown away at her talent. Congratulations Melody, I really enjoyed looking through your gallery today. I found this incredible CARD.

Blue and white cards are my all time favorite color combination and when I saw Melody's card I just had to make more blue and white snowflake cards. I am running out of time so I made this card for the masses. Super easy, stamped the sentiment, layered. cut down the glittery snowflake paper and layered on the blue and glued to the card base.

Snowflakes for the Masses

Thanks for the sweater Jan!

USEIT2018 - Teapot

I figure in the winter I like a warm cup of tea so this teapot reminds me of a wintery thank you.

I have spent the last week going through my box of die cuts and stamped images on my table trying to sort them out and find a way to use stuff up in that box. It seems to have taken over my table. This teapot was in that box.

Layered the papers, tied the ribbon and stamped the sentiment on this small tag that was in the box. Added some DP behind the teapot to match the red layer and finished off with this butterfly.

Teapot Thanks
IC682 - Unique Vintage where is found this stunning Headband.

The dress had a super stunning pattern and it drew me in for a closer look. I created wedding cards using this paper trying to us a paper to mirror the pattern in the dress. Then layered ribbon and lace paper and finished off with a large rhinestone piece in the corner and the rings and some string flowers.

These are more items from my stash of stuff to use up this year. There is still a very long way to go but I have a plan to get more of it used for my 2019 goal.
