Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C74

Hello Friends! Happy Saturday! It's Crazy 4 Challenges time again and Angela has challenged us with another fun and simple challenge! The challenge is to add something with a heart shape on your card! Well. . .I can surely do that! Actually I did one the other day and and last week!
LOL!

Before I chit chat about my card. . .be sure to stop by Crazy 4 Challenges and check out the super lovely cards the design team created or if you want, stop by the designers individual blogs.

Hey I just realized I used the same designer paper for my C4C challenge card last week! I must have loved this paper. Anyway. . .are you getting tired of looking at my shabby chic cards? Hope not because I'm really into it right now! Maybe I'll do something different and create something not shabby chic tomorrow.

Honestly I have a ton of lace, beads, flowers, etc. so I'm trying to use them up so I can buy more! Just kidding. Actually I have a ton of everything and it's almost to the point of being silly.

Okay, a little info on my card. I adhered the lace and beads on to the card using liquid stitch because I found that it dries fast and clear. I don't have to wait around and hold it down and it sticks really really good. I found the clear embellishment glues that are used for crafting does a really weird thing once it dries. . . .for some reason the embellishments fall off after awhile. . .not that the glue comes off but it seems the embellishments just separates themselves off the dried glue.

Remember the SU Paper Crimper pictured below? Gosh, I've had it for years and I can't believe SU still sells it. Boy, lately I've been loving it. . .see, old stuff always become new again sometime or another. I used it for the cards I posted the other day as well.

I stamped the sentiment using SU "Always" stamp set on to fabric using Versacraft ink which works nicely on fabric. Actually any pigment ink would work on fabric but Versacraft ink on fabric after it is heat set can be washed. . .I don't think pigment ink and certainly not dye inks are water resistant but I guess it doesn't matter if you're using the fabric for paper craft projects because you're not going to wash it anyway.

I did a bit of sewing too on my card! Whoohoo fun stuff! My old sewing machine is being put to good use with my paper crafting. I have a newer sewing machine for sewing on fabric. I used a dyed seam binding to create the bow. . :)

Here is the SU Crimper that I used on the heart. . .again, it's still available at SU. I love it because you can crimp cardboard and thin chipboards with it.

Anyway, I've said enough I think. . .LOL! Hope you all have a fabulous Saturday!
