Another fun fabric card ~ For You

I thought I would share another fabric card with you! It utilizes the same fabric as yesterday's card, but I focused on other colors in the fabric square. Taken With Teal and Rich Razzleberry look fantastic together, don't they?I stitched the fabric to the Teal layer before adding it to the card front so that no stitching shows on the interior of the card. The frame around the sentiment is from SU's 'Gallery' stamp set, which I stamped and sponged with Teal, and then heat embossed the edges with shiny glittery powder! The flower embellishment was made with SU's 'For All You Do' stamp set, and attached with a teal brad from HOTP.
By the way, the threads I use for sewing are from an assortment I found on ebay which included about 50 different mini spools of colorful threads. It was a great buy at about 10 bucks. The spools are pretty little though, but fit on my machine just right. It was worth the money to have all these coordinating colors for my cards!


Well, that's a wrap for now! I am going to play accountant today, and get my father's bills in the mail. He has a mental disability from a head injury in 1986, and I am his Representative Payee for his moneys. It is not a difficult job, but can be time consuming about twice a month. He really made a mess of his finances after a divorce, and I am at the tail end of sorting it all out for him. I am so blessed to have all of my own bills paid and in good standings!! I would hate to deal with all of these collection agencies and bill collectors for my own finances! They are heartless and cold! But, people create their own circumstances, and have to deal with the consequences. I though, am just the representative for the slacker! So be nice!
Have a fantastic day! Stamp something!

Fabric Friendship Card

Good Morning! Today is Wednesday! Where did the week go? Yikes!
The card I am sharing with you today is super fun and easy. I love to add fabric squares to my cards, and this one has a designer fabric I found by Alexander Henry, at Hawthorne Threads.
What grabbed my attention to this fabric was that it matches the new In-Colors by Stampin' Up! perfectly. It contains every color! There are 4 diffrent swatches that I purchased, and I cannot wait to make more cards with them!
This particular card uses the butterfly fabric, which I layered and stitched onto Pomegranate, then Kiwi and onto the Melon base. I frayed the fabric edges carefully to show there is actually fabric there, not paper! Then I stamped the element and sentiment stamps from SU 'Great Friend' in Kiwi and Pomegranate, sponged it slightly and added a few dots, then attached it with foam dots over Melon grosgrain. I added Leafy Branch and Flower Fusion die cuts, and a couple of brads to pin it all down! Super sweet and easy to make! I like those kind of cards!


Inside, I stamped cute flowers from SU 'For All You Do' and sponged all around in Melon and Pomegranate, then stitched some more! Cute!
Well, I am off to pick up my little one from preschool, run to the bank and do a little shopping! Maybe I will find some great Christmas stamps! Or gorgeous paper! Wait....I am going to the grocery store!! Dang it!
Hope you find time to stamp today!
