My late husband set a T post for this vine to climb; I think it makes a beautiful shrub!

Bugle Vine Blooming in my yard.....
I have this vine blooming in my yard and I wanted to share it before I give it a hair cut. Each year it gets huge and hangs almost to the ground and after it blooms I cut it way back. The hummingbirds love it but it will take over if you let it!

Heartfelt Creations Wednesday....
Another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday has rolled around and I'm here to share another project! This Classic Wedding Collection is just amazing and with these papers and dies you can do so much for the bride and groom!

Instructions:
You can watch a video on how to make the Classic Rose here: https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/video/129/how-to-create-dimensional-roses
My card is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. Make card base and cover with a piece of the paper collection. Cut out the medallion and glue it to the bottom of the card front. Next stamp the sentiment and cut out using the Spellbinders die; use dimensional tape to adhere to the top of the card letting part of the sentiment lay above the card fold. Next stamp, cut out and color the rose petals and leaves. Shape the laves and set aside. When you finish making the rose use the Frosting Powder on the edges of the flower petals. This product is so unusual in that you can add a little heat and allow it to remain sort of clear as I have done on this card or you can heat a little more and it will go more white. I think it just gives a very classy look to the roses! Now place the leaves and the rose over the medallion and glue them down and your card is finished.
I hope you have enjoyed my card as much as I loved making it! Now it's your turn; you really need this collection in your stash because we all have weddings and the stamps and dies can be used for other occasions as well. With a little imagination you can create beautiful cards and make family and friends so happy!

https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/video/129/how-to-create-dimensional-roses
Instructions: My card is 6 X 6. Make card base out of watercolor paper. I sometimes use that because of the strength and stability of the paper. Cover the base with a card front and add glitter accents; set it aside to dry. Stamp, cut out, color and shape the flowers and leaves.(I used Rich Cocoa Memento Ink to stamp the flowers and leaves) Use the Frosting Powder on the petals of the flowers and set aside to dry. Once the petals are dry I glued them together and then decided where I wanted them to be placed. Glue them down. I cut out the sentiment and edged it with some ink and then used dimensional tape to adhere to the front of my card.

You can watch a video on how to make the Classic Rose here: https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/video/129/how-to-create-dimensional-roses
Instructions: My card size is 6 X 6. Make card base and cover with one of the card fronts. Die cut the oval layers using dimensional tape under the top layer to give it a bit more dimension. I also cut an oval using a piece of the pattern paper so that some color is showing through the white top die cut. Next adhere it to the card front covering most of the image on the paper. Using the hot glue gun, I glued the silver rings to the card front. Using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, stamp and cut out the wedding bells. Color them using the Dove Blender Pen and Memento Ink. Next I added glitter to the bells and set them aside to dry. Using Rich Cocoa Memento Ink stamp, cut out, color and shape the flowers. I colored some of the art stones using the Pearlescent Coral stamp pad; just rub them over the top of the pad until they look like you want them to. Glue them to the center of the flowers and let dry. Next I colored the seam binding by spraying water on it so it would accept color easily, then rub the stamp pad on the craft sheet and spray water into the ink. Swirl the seam binding in the color; scrunch and let dry. Next tie a bow and glue it down. Decide where you like your flowers and glue them down onto the bells and then glue the bells to the front of the card. Your card is finished.

Watch this video on how to make the Classic Rose: https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/video/129/how-to-create-dimensional-roses
Instructions: My card is 6 X 6. Make card base and cover with one of the card fronts. I used the Spellbinders dies to make a frame to bring attention to the center image. Next I stamped, cut out, colored and shaped the flowers, doves, and wedding rings. (The dove and rings are stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and the flowers are stamped in Rich Cocoa Memento Ink) I added glitter to the dove and her plumes and then glued her down onto the card front. Next I painted the crackle paint and sprinkled the Frosting Powder on the edges of the rose petals and glued them down. Now cut out one of the sentiments from the paper collection and glue it to the lower left hand corner of the card. I added the micro beads to the ring set and allowed that to dry and then I glued it to the corner of the sentiment. A very quick and easy card.
I hope you have enjoyed these as much as I have loved sharing with you. If you find yourself needing "more" just head over to the Heartfelt Creations Blog and see what the other designers have been inspired to make!

You can watch a video on making roses here: https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/video/129/how-to-create-dimensional-roses .
Instructions: My card size is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. Make card base and cut out the medallion on the card front. Next I cut a strip of card stock and embossed it with the folder. Glue this down onto the card front. Stamp, cut out, color and shape the doves, flowers and leaves.(I used Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the dove and the sentiment and Rich Cocoa Memento Ink to stamp the flowers and leaves) Add glitter to the plumes of the dove and set aside to dry. Paint the edges of the roses with the Crackle Paint and sprinkle the Frosting Powder over them; use the heat gun and set the powder. I also used the Frosting Powder on the Medallion on the card front. It gives the cardstock a bit more stability. Next I took some of the Art Stones and rubbed them around over the Coral ink pad until the color suited me. I glued them to the center of the smaller flowers. Now glue the dove, leaves and roses to the card front. I used hot glue to adhere these. I looped the rings over one of the tendrils of the leaves and then glued the end down to hold them and keep them from slipping off the card front. This lets the rings have movement. Now cut out a sentiment from the paper collection and I colored the edges to match my roses and then glue it down.
