A Slimline Card to Send Best Wishes....

Good morning from a frigid East Tennessee!  We are sitting at 19 degrees this morning but we are supposed to receive a bit of a warm up as the day goes along.  I'm here this morning to share another quick and easy card with you and it is flat enough to mail with one stamp.  Don't you just love that?  I do!

I used Heartfelt Creations Wild Asters flower stamps and dies.  Minnie Pearl Prills for the centers and I think the paper comes from the Floral Shoppe Collection.  The stitched die is from my stash!

That does it for me this morning.  No matter where you are or what you are doing...I wish you joy today!

Instructions: Using pieces of the paper collection, 11B, 9B, and 8B, cut pieces to fit on the three panels and glue down. Using white cardstock and the different dies, cut out pieces and glue them down. You can use your own judgement as to which dies you use but I used some of all 4 of the releases to give you an idea of the different uses for them.

Stamp the Happy Birthday Sentiment and cut out using the Ornamental Tags dies and edge around the piece with Magenta Hue ink. I used dimensional tape to adhere it to the card front.

Stamp the flowers with Magenta Hue ink and color with same. Stamp the leaves with Fern Green ink and color with Leaf Green ink. Cut out with coordinating dies. Lay onto the molds and spritz with water then run through the die cut machine. Allow to dry. I added prills to the flower centers and allowed that to dry then glittered them and allowed them to dry again. Decide on placement and glue down. I used flowers and leaves on the first two panels of the card.

Winter Snowman.....

Good morning friends!  I hope you are keeping safe and well!  This morning I'm here to share with you my very first Christmas card for 2021!  I know I can't believe it myself.  I'm hoping to keep making them along and when December comes maybe, just maybe I will be ready!  

I used the sweet snowman and gifts  from the Countryside Cottage Collection from Heartfelt Creations and the sentiment is from my stash.  When Heartfelt Creations created this collection they made so many of us so happy.  It has something for every season.  Everything was watercolored with Zig Colored Markers and a water brush.  Super easy and lots of fun!

Just For You Sunflowers....

Good morning everyone from a very chilly East Tennessee!  I'm here to share with you another card I made using the Heartfelt Creations Countryside Garden Collection and inspired by Tracey Fehr.  Thank you Tracey, you have me started making these cards and I love that I can mail with just one stamp! This is just another way to use the Countryside Garden Collection for quick and easy cards!

I stamped the image with Memento Rich Cocoa onto watercolor paper and colored with my Zig markers and a water brush.  The sentiment is stamped with Archival Jet Black ink and the sunflowers have Express-O Yourself Prills in the center!

Cut out the opening in card front using a die from Cut Mat Create dies. Also cut a piece of the paper 5A - blue and glue down inside the card so that when the card front is closed the blue piece fits the opening.

Stamp the cottage, snowman, snow covered shrubs, fence, birds and the red berries using Archival Jet Black ink. I colored everything with colored pencils and then using coordinating dies, cut out everything. Using Designer Dries White Glue, add snow to the fence and set aside to dry. Decide on the placement of everything and glue everything down. I cut out one of the tags from the paper collection and stamped the sentiment onto that and used the coordinating die to cut out. Adhere it to the card front. The card is finished.

Flat Card Suitable for Mailing....

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I'm here to share a card I made using stamps and dies from the Heartfelt Creations Countryside Cottage Collection.  I watched a video by Tracey Fehr and was so inspired and so I began stamping and watercoloring the images.  

I adore this sweet mailbox and you will be seeing more of it in the near future.  This card can mail using 1 first class stamp and I'm such a happy camper because of this.  Now I can send a little card to just let someone know I'm thinking of them and it doesn't have to cost $4 to get it there!  I don't send as many cards as I would like to because of the cost.  So this card goes into my box and may be showing up in your mailbox one day soon!

Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations...

Good morning friends!  I'm here to share another card I have made using the Heartfelt Creations Lush Lilac Collection.  These flowers remind me of my grandmother...she had a huge Lilac bush in her yard and that was the one flower we were allowed to pick.  When it bloomed it had such a sweet smell and we would pick blooms and carry them to our Mom and she would have vases everywhere filled with them! When Heartfelt Creations released this collection my heart was filled with such joy and I continue to re-visit the collection often! I hope you enjoy my creation as much as I enjoyed making it!
