Week of 3/9/19 Cards

 FS630 - the very talented {memorykeeper} aka Olga Jewell. I love Olga's gallery as she is a Heartfelt Creations design team member and she makes incredible card with their products. Congrats Olga, Super stunning gallery. I found this CARD.

USEIT2019 - Stamped fabric, flower & Vines

Still trying to use stuff up that is on my table. A while back I stamped a large stack of fabric with this BG stamp from IO and now I am trying to use them up. It was a super fun technique that I am going to try again with a different stamp. I also need to use up a very large stack of die cut flowers and these die cut leaf swirls. Olga's card was a perfect inspiration for this card.

Used the stamped fabric for the base layer, added the ribbon, shaped the flower and layered.

Floral Thanks

This cute image was sent to me by Miss Boo in a teapot exchange. I colored it while I was on vacation and put it in my stash to use later and this challenge was perfect.

IC692 - Wedgwood where I found this amazing Ornament.

USEIT2019 - Snowman

I love blue and white cards so when I saw the ornament I just had to use that for my inspiration. I had a scrap of this blue and white snowflake paper and this snowman needing to be used up and put this card together in 5 minutes. Yeah for quick cards when I need to get stuff done.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
