Week of 3/1/19 Cards

 FS629 - the amazingly gifted Ankita (glitter.doodles). I love her gallery. I found this stunning CARD.

USEIT2019 - Balloons

I created a birthday card and used a bunch of balloons from my stack of stuff to use up this year. Added some glitter to the top balloon as the green and yellow was glitter paper. Popped a few balloons on dimensionals and tied bakers twine on them. Finished off with the sentiment banner.

 MMTPT553 - Storybook Tales - I use to love reading about Paddington. I added his tag to my card.

USEIT2019 - Tag & Flowers

Still trying to use stuff up from my table. The large oval was sitting on my table along with the tag and flowers and I thought they all worked well for my bear embellishments.

Stamped the bear, colored with copics and layered with embellishments sitting on my table.

 WT729 - Foiled Again

Wrapped aluminum foil around white CS and glued to card base. Die cut layers and stamped sentiment. Added hearts, pearls and finished off with bow.

I had a hard time trying to decide on a card for DH for valentines day and ended up giving him this card. I made 2 cards and my son liked the other card (last weeks WTUI) and I liked this one. Thankfully last weeks card did not say Valendine's Day and can be used for our anniversary.

 F4A471 - Flowers

MIX318 - Draw a line (yellow Ribbon)

USEIT2019 - Flowers

Heat embossed the swirl image in white on red paper, cut the layers and stamped the sentiment. Added the yellow ribbon and used up the stack of red and white flowers on my desk.

Thanks

IC691 - V&A Museum where I found this great FABRIC. The BG looked like Balloons.

USEIT2019 - Balloons

I loved that 1942 fabric. It looked like the couple was dancing in balloons. I have a huge stack of die cut balloons that was in the box my mom gave me a year ago for my birthday. I put them in the pile of stuff to use up and today's challenge was great to use a few.

Die cut the white layers and sentiments to coordinate with the colors in the balloons. Added bakers twine to the balloons and layered.

Week of 2/23/19 cards

 FS628 - the amazingly talented islandyu AKA Heejung Hunsberger. I found this stunning Card.

CT0219 - Fan Club Monthly Theme. This fits the monthly theme with these flowers. These are more thank you cards for my SIL to give out to her customers.

USEIT2019 - Flowers

I loved the layout I used on my cards for the IC challenge so I kept my same layout. Using the red and white theme from the FS card I found I had a bunch of red and white flowers in my stash to use up in the pile.

Shaped and layered the flowers, cut the scrap papers and layered. Stamped the sentiment, added the flowers and finished off with Nuvo Drops.

 MMTPT552 - Arman Avalon

Stamped the sentiment, Drew in the lines then embossed.

 TLC730 - Color on Kraft

I have really enjoyed coloring on kraft card stock here lately. I am also trying to get my Christmas cards done earlier this year. I need to make about 10 a month to have enough by Christmas. I thought this Unity girl colored in pencil on kraft would be fun.

Santa Baby
 WT728 - Fancy Folds

Die cut the hearts from a Memory Box die cut and layered on the card base, added the DP and the die cut Love. Created the easel with some layered hearts and dimensionals and finished off the inside with hearts that came out of the die cut strip.

Love is in the Air
IC690 - fineartamerica where I found this great Image.

USEIT2019 - Flowers

I am still trying to use up a ton of already punched flowers that have been sitting in my craft room for years. These flowers are about 4 years old.

The image looked beautiful on the black canvas so I used black CS. I spritzed white acrylic paint on the black CS then layered flowers in the corner. Heat embossed the sentiment and popped it on Dimensionals. Finished off with pearls.

 FS627 - The very talented Featured Stamper is Sally Merla (CraftyMerla). I found this stunning CARD.

I needed a quick masculine birthday card and Marla's card was perfect for inspiration. Stamped the trees twice to get them all across the card, colored with copics, layered and finished off with the sentiment.

Stamped the cute Unity image and sentiment and colored with copics. Finished off with some scrap papers as banners and a heart.

This is my teenage son's Valentine card this year. I sure hope I can get away with cute cards for a while longer as I really love these little critters. :)
