Week of 2/8/20 Cards

 FS678 - the very talented JJ Barrett, aka IndigosMom has an amazing gallery filled with so much inspiration. I found this super adorable Card.

USEIT2020 - Elephants

When I saw JJ's card I remembered I had these cute elephants in my stash I needed to use up.

I cut the layer of paper on an angle and added a strip of CS to match the die cut sentiment. Added the elephants and finished with 3 dots of Nuvo Drops for the 3 sequins on JJ's card.

Congrats Elephant

 CAS571 - Use a die cut on your card

Super quick card punched out all the flowers from left over white bits and shaped. Added pink gems to match the pink die cut Thank You sentiment.

Thank You

 MMTPT602 - Use Only 3

Masking the center of the card I sponged the oval then stamped the image 3 times. Removed the stencil and stamped the sentiment.

My three is stencil and 2 different stamps

Hello

 CC777 - Cherry Cobbler, Rococo Rose, and Very Vanilla

When I saw today's colors I immediately though of all the scrap papers in my drawer and grabbed a stack of them. Punched and die cut a stack of hearts and layered the DPs. Finished with the love die cut in black and added Nuvo Drops to the sentiment.

LOVE

 WT778 - Sparkle

This image was hand drawn by me and I had Magnuson Stamp Company create a stamp for me with my own drawing. The sentiment was done by my son and I had it also made to a stamp.

Once stamped I colored with copics and added stickles to the hearts on the shorts.

This will be my hubby's birthday card this year. I am pretty sure my son will tell me he wants his own card for his dad this year. LOL!

Hope Your Birthday

 MIX367 - Have a heart

USEIT2020 - Sticker strip

This card is probably going to be my favorite card for Valentines Day. I even told DH that if he wants to give me a card for Valentines day that this is the card to give me. LOL!

I used a stencil and put gel medium through it then sprayed tan tattered lace over once the gel medium was dry. Cut the layers and used some scrap DPs and the top heart is old wall paper left from doing our kitchen at our old home. Finished with lace, button and fancy fiber made to a flower. The banner heart is a sticker in my stash of stuff I am trying to use up. 

Have a Heart

IC740 - Stencil Girl

USEIT2020 - Palm Trees

Oh now I need to go shopping after seeing that Stencil site. I found this great Stencil and immediately knew I needed to use these Palm trees from my pile I am trying to use up.

I stenciled the sunset and used 2 different DPs then hot glued the pal trees on to the card. I finished off with the custom sentiment my friend Jan (Precious Kitty) had made for me. I love calling friends Sunshine because they always brighten my day.

Hello Sunshine

Week of 2/1/20 Cards

 FS677 - This weeks Featured Stamper is absolutely incredibly talented Angela Bode aka ohmypaper! I have been in love with her cards for as long as I have been on SCS and am so thrilled to see her be the Featured Stamper this week. Congrats sweet friend!!!!
USEIT2020 - Teacups
When I saw this CARD I knew I needed to use up more of the stack of teacups from my stash.
I bought a bunch of doilies when I was making cards for the band because I was going to go the quick route and use doilies for the lace. Well we did not go the quick route and now I have a bunch of doilies so seeing Angie's card I thought perfect inspiration.
I used grey paper rather than coloring the card base and I did not have a teacup stamp but I had a bunch of these already die cut teacups. I popped mine on dimensionals and added already punched flowers. I finished off with a white gel pen adding the steam and some nuvo drops on the flowers.

Teacup

 CAS570 - Go for the Gold

Punched the leaves and sponged on different colors of green, teal and orange. Heat embossed the birthday wish in Gold on brown and embossed the kraft layer. Used dimensionals under the leaves edges to give them dimension.

I liked this design so much I made a few of them. Good thing because a couple of family members have asked for a few birthday cards recently.

Outdoor Birthday

 CC776 Flirty Flamingo, Poppy Parade, & Bermuda Bay

I colored this sweet image in today's colors (adding grey for my neutral).

Cut the layers and finished off with ribbon and popped the 70 on dimensionals.

My mom is giving this to my aunt for her 70th birthday. She asked for an elephant for her birthday card because those are her favorite animal. Well I found this great one from Whimsy Stamps and the trunk is up. It is good luck to have a trunk up so this was spot on perfect. I hope she loves the card.

Happy 70th!

Printed the image and colored with Pencils. Cut the layers and popped the image on Dimensionals. Finished off with Nuvo Drops.

My MIL got us our new calendar for 2020 and it is a outdoor Nature calendar. January has the cutest owls. I immediately thought of this cute image from Pink and Main.

Stamped the image and colored with copics. Cut the layers and added the pearls, ribbon and stickles to the hearts.

IC739 - Crayola Pintrist boards where I found this Row of Hearts.

USEIT2020 - Hearts

When I saw the row of hearts I thought of the pile of hearts on my table I am trying to use up.

I partially embossed the base layer with a small heart emboss folder. Then layered the hearts popping the large red and the top DP on dimensionals.

Sweet Valentine

This cute Magnolia image was sent to me in a teapot exchange and I colored her with pencil. Cut the layers and dug through my stash of DPs for adding some color to the card. Used a couple of the already die cut tulips from my stash of stuff I am trying to use up and finished with this dimensional butterfly sticker, some pearls and ribbon.

CCC20Jan - Special Fold

This is a modified Coffee Gift Card fold. It is a square shape but functions just as the Coffee gift card and pulls up when opened sliding the gift card up.

USEIT2020 - Heartfelt Creations card kit

I am trying to use up the last of the card kits I have from Heartfelt Creations. They no longer make them and I have a bunch that need put together. They came stamped and cut so I needed to shape, color, layer and embellish.

Sponged on color for the image and sponged the edges of the layers. Shaped the flowers and added dimensionals. finished off with gems and stickles.
