HOGS and KISSES

This is for the ways to use it challenge at Splitcoast. We were challenged to use textiles on our card or projects. I have had material with these little hogs for about 8 years. I thought that it would be cute to use on a card. I glued the material to cardstock using Aleene's tacky glue, I then cut out around the hogs image. I made an origami box and lid and added two large hearts to the edges. I added a button with twine and ribbon and fibers. Of course I had to fill it with kisses.

Fabric Cards

All three of these cards were made for the Splitcoast Technique Lovers Challenge.

These flowers were stamped on fabric and then cut out. I used the same flower stamp to stamp the background on the base. I also used itty bitty background stamp to make the dots on the base of the card as well as the rectangle panel. I tied twine through the buttons. I also wound twine up on my pencil to make the flower tendrils. I used a light blue colored pencils to lightly color the centers of the flowers on the base of the card.

For this card, the flowers are also made out of fabric. I free hand cut the flower and layered them to give this card an Americana look. I tied twine to the panels and twine through the buttons. I stapled the panels at the top to add to the rustic look. I made this card for a friend who is having surgery today. Would you say a prayer for my friend Sue?

My last fabric card has little bunnies that were on the fabric. I cut around them and I have them up on dimensionals. I stitched around the edge of the card with twine. I then wrapped the top of the card with twine and finished it off with a button and a bow.
