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 size is 5 1/2 X 5 1/2.  Make card base and cover with a piece of the paper collection.  Hot glue a piece of white lace along the bottom of the card.  Stamp, cut out, color and shape the roses.  Use the Frosting Powder on the edges of the petals for a very encrusted look.  Next I stamped, cut out and colored the dove and added Crystal Clear to the doves plumes.  I used a piece of the dimensional tape to attach it to the bottom of the card. I used some glue on a sponge and dabbed around the edges of my card and then used the Frosting Powder to add some interest to the card.   Next stamp and cut out the Classic Wedding Roses stamp and use the dove blender pen to color using Memento inks.  Glue it to the front of the card and then glue your roses around the die cut. Your card is ready to go.

Next is the little album for the bride and it has tags tucked away inside for the bride to write thoughts about her big day.

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 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 using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink 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 using Rich Cocoa Memento Ink.  Shape the leaves and set aside.  When you finish making the rose use glue and 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. 

Thanks for sticking with me until the end, I know this has been a long post.  Now if you would like you to go to the Heartfelt Creations blog for more inspiration from the other design team members!

New Challenge for The sisterhood of Crafters "Photo Inspiration"

Hi everyone!  Today is a brand new challenge for The Sisterhood of Crafters and it is a "Photo Inspiration" challenge!  This challenge is headed by Lisa!

I just love the colors of this photo and tried to pull some of these colors and incorporate them into my card.

And I made flowers!  I love these pretty blossoms and their black centers with these printed leaves.

Come join us in this great challenge and make something inspired by the photo! You have until Sept. 20th. at 8 PM EST to link your project to The Sisterhood of Crafters blog.  I can't wait to see what you make.

Now a little announcement.  After much thought and prayer, I have decided that I will be stepping down and today is my last post as part of The Sisterhood's design team.  These ladies have been so kind and gracious and I'm really going to miss them.

I will be entering my card in the following challenges:
Crafting From the Heart
Craft Your Passion
Sisteract Card Challenge

Welcome to the Very First Challenge for Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog!

Good morning everyone and Welcome! This is Challenge #1 for Craft Hoarders Anonymous

The challenge for the next two weeks is:  "What's Your Style?"  For me that is a very good question.  I'm sort of  "Vintage", with a sprinkling of "Girly" and topped off with a smudgen of "Classic".

Share a project that showcases your signature style.  Dig into your hoard and pull out items that make you shout with crafty joy!  Whip up something that has your creative name all over it.  Do you, because no one is you-er than you!

One lucky winner will receive this prize pack, donated by Gloria Stengel Designs!

Here is my project:

I have to admit, this card is totally me.  I make my own flowers and I love pinks, greens and shades of browns together.  I use a lot of Heartfelt Creations, stamps, dies and papers.  Let's face it...I hoard them.  I confess. a few months ago I went through some of my "stuff" and sent three large boxes of supplies, along with some dies and a die cut machine to the nursing home.  Now when they have craft day, they have a few more supplies to play with.  I am now feverishly working to re-stock!

Challenge Rules are here: Craft Hoarders Anonymous  

OK, you have until February 16 PT to post your project on your blog and link to The Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog.  The design team projects will be posted there as well.

Moving Forward.....

Hope you all survived Turkey Day and are ready to start the march to Christmas!  I had a wonderful evening with lots of food and family and a good time was had by all.  Now we move forward!

This tag is made using stamps, papers and dies from Heartfelt Creations.  I think it has a quiet elegance to it.

OK people, let's get cracking!  Are you headed to the Mall for the Black Friday sales?  No me...I'm afraid I might have to hurt someone!  I'm very content to be here in my pj's and slippers watching it all on TV.  My tree is up and decorated, most of the gifts are purchased and ready to wrap, I'm totally in the holiday spirit and I'm poised to start making cookies and candy. How's that for being organized?  I'm just too old for it to be any other way!

OK this is it for me this morning.

Have a wonderful day and no matter where you find yourself, or whatever you are doing, take a little moment of time and ....... "Breathe"!

Welcome to Heartfelt Creations Wednesday.......

Good morning everyone and welcome to Heartfelt Creations Wednesday!  I'm here this morning to share another project I did for Heartfelt Creations using the Sweet Juliet Collection.

Heartfelt Creations Products Used:

HCDP1 237 Antiquity Paper Collection

HCPC 3566 Beautiful Juliet PreCut Set

HCD 740 Sweet Juliet Die

Other Supplies: Canson watercolor paper, Ranger Distress Ink, Memento Ink, White card stock, Spellbinders Exquisite Labels Eleven, brad, Scor -Tape

Instructions:  Card Size 5” X 7”
Make card base using watercolor paper for stability, and cover with a piece of the pretty paper.  Use Distress inks to shade around the edges of the card.  Next cut out one of the labels and stamp the image on the center. (I used watercolor paper for this piece too.)  Color the image and place piece back into the die and use distress ink to go around the edge of the center part of the die cut.  Attach this piece to the card base.  Next I cut out the flower petals and the leaves and colored them with distress inks.  I used the brad to mount my flower and glued down the leaves and the flower.  The card is finished.

I'm so glad you stopped by this morning.  Now if you would like some more inspiration, just head over to the HC blog and have a look around.  There is so much talent on display there today!   Also, if you haven't voted for the new design team you should do that now.  The voting ends on Friday.  We are all on pins and needles waiting to see who the lucky people are.  Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Well that does it for me this morning.  I'm off to visit my design team sisters blogs and have a good look around.  I always love to see what they have been doing!  So you have a good day and may it be filled with lots of joy!

Welcome to Heartfelt Creations Wednesday!

Good morning everyone!  I'm so glad you are able to visit this morning.  Grab a cup of coffee and get settled in and I will share my card that I made for Heartfelt Creations.

That's it for me this morning.  It's still raining and flooding here in East Tennessee; a little sunshine would be welcome!



Welcome to Heartfelt Creations Wednesday!!

I think my title says it all!  This is my first post for my third term with the Heartfelt Creations design team and I am super excited to be back among friends!  As you know I love this company and believe in what they are doing.  Their stamps are top quality and such beautiful images and dies and the flowers stamps and dies are simply amazing.  Can you tell I'm  happy to be back?

That being said, here is my first card:

 

Faith Is:

Heartfelt Creations Products Used:

HCPC 3500 Open Vintage Floret PreCut Set

HCPC 3502 Mini Vintage Floret PreCut Set

HCPC 3309 Faith Heb.11:1 PreCut Set

HCPC 3494 Delicate Asters PreCut Set

HCD 727 Vintage Floret Die

HCD 726 Delicate Asters die

HCDP1-226 Delicate Asters Collection Paper

Other Supplies: Canson watercolor paper, white card stock, Spellbinders dies (Std. Circles Large, Lacey Circles and Venetian Motifs) Ranger Distress Inks in Scattered Straw, Forest Moss  and Victorian Velvet, glue, Shimmer Spray, Scor-Tape, Wooden Skewer, Paper Blossoms Tool Kit, piercing mat, Memento Ink in brown and black

Instructions: Card Size 6” X 6”

Make card base out of watercolor paper, I use this for added stability.  Next I cut a piece of the design paper in a 6” X 6” size.  I sprayed this with the shimmer spray and left to dry.  Once dry, I adhered it to the card base.  Next I stamped my sentiment on a piece of watercolor paper and cut out using the Lacey die.  I created a frame using two of the circle dies and a piece of the paper from the stack.  I edged the frame with distress ink. Glue this frame to the sentiment piece and then adhere it to the card base.  Now it is time to work on the flowers.  I stamped and cut out the flowers from white card stock; then I used the distress inks to color the petals.  I sprayed the petals with shimmer spray and wound them around a skewer and then I pinched the petals to give them a more natural look.  As the petals began to dry I added more of the darker color of ink to the edges of the petals because the spray caused the ink to run and blend a little and I wanted the darker tones.  When the petals are all dry I use the spongy piercing mat and the embossing tools to shape them a little more.  Glue them together and set aside to dry.  While your flowers are drying stamp the leaves and cut them out as well as the swirls.  Position the flowers and the leaves and swirls where you like them and glue down.  I think the papers and the flowers give this card a soft elegant feel.

You can head over to the Heartfelt Creations blog for more beautiful creations and loads of creative ideas.  Also you can click on the design team names to the right on my blog to visit each members blog.  Go visit and leave a comment...we love hearing from you.

A Quick and Easy Tag.....

 

 

Good morning everyone!  I'm here to share a quick and simple tag I have made to go along with a Christmas gift.  Tags are so wonderful, I think, as they can go along with a gift or be tucked down inside a gift bag or they can just be a gift all on their own.  I just added some Distress inks and spritzed the tag with shimmer spray.  Once it was dry I cut out some Spellbinders dies and stamped the sentiment and a little ribbon and it is ready to go.  How easy is that?

 

Well that's it for me this morning.  I will be back on Wednesday with my first official post with the Heartfelt Creations Design Team.  Come back and visit, we'll do coffee!

Good morning everyone!  This is my second post this morning but I really wanted to show you this card I made for Heartfelt Creations   This was one of the projects I submitted for the final round of competition for the design team. 

Heartfelt Creations Products Used:

HCPC 3468 Tattered Blossoms PreCut Set

HCD 722 Tattered Blossoms Die

HCPC 340l Bella Rose Scroll PreCut Set

HCPC 3405 Leaf Medley PreCut Set

October Paper Pack

Other Supplies Used: Spellbinders dies (Squares Large, Lace Doily Motifs) glitter, Memento Ink, shimmer sprays, Ranger Distress Inks, glue, Scor-Tape, Canson Watercolor Paper, dimensional tape, green card stock, white card stock, Paper Blossoms Tool Kit

Instructions:  Card Size 6” X 6”

I used watercolor paper for the card base for stability.  Cut a piece of design paper just a little smaller and adhere to the card base.  Next I cut out the motifs using watercolor paper and set aside.  I stamped the sentiment on a piece of watercolor paper and cut out using one of the square dies.  Next I created a frame for the sentiment using two of the square dies.  I placed one inside the other and cut them out of watercolor paper.  I put some dimensional tape behind the frame and adhered it to the stamped piece and then glued that to the square motif.  Mount the square motif to the center of the card base and position the decorative pieces around the square and glue them down.  I then stamped and cut the leaves using the green card stock and some ink was added to the edges.  I sprayed these with the shimmer spray and while damp I used the tool kit to shape the leaves until I was happy with the look.  Next I stamped the flowers onto plain white card stock and used distress inks to color.  I used water to dampen the petals and shaped them and then laid them aside to dry.  Once dry I glued the layers together and added some glitter to the center of the flowers.  I positioned the flowers and leaves around the square motif until I was happy with the look and then I glued them down. 

White on White Holiday Card....

Good morning everyone.  Here we are with again ready to jump into the weekend and I for one am ready!  We have had a few days of rain and cooler temps and now we are warming back into the 70's...very nice!  I love this time of year! 

This morning I'm sharing another holiday card I made using the embossing paste and glitter and a brass stencil.  The glitter isn't showing that well, but it is there.  I stamped the sentiment onto white card stock and cut out the frame using a Spellbinders die.  A little white ribbon and it is finished.  This is much better in person.  Sometimes my camera just doesn't pick up everything the way I want it to.  It's not the camera...it's the camera operator I'm afraid.  My photography skills are greatly lacking.

Well I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned.  As for me, I plan to play as much as I can!  Most of my chores are done and I will have some quiet time just for me.  I think I'll "Breathe"!

supplies:
Dreamweaver Translucent Embossing paste, brass stencil, watercolor paper, white seam binding,
glitter, Spellbinders dies (Antique Frame and Accents) Ranger Distress Inks, glue

Fall Leaves....

Good morning everyone.  In case you forgot, it's Friday!  The weekend is just around the corner and all is right with my world!  This morning I'm here to share another card I have made.  I love making Fall cards and this little cutie is just perfect to grace the front of my card.

 

I colored her with Ranger distress inks and a brush and mounted her on a doily.  The rest is Spellbinders dies and designer paper.  The leaves began as plain white card stock from Wal Mart and I used the inks to color them.  Pretty easy once the image is colored.  This little cutie will be going to the nursing home so that patient can have a card to give when someone does them a kindness. 

 

Well I hope you have wonderful plans for the weekend.  This old broad will be hanging out close to home doing her thing.  We are expecting rain so I will be playing indoors!  Not a bad thing.  Whatever you wind up doing and no matter where you are, take a moment and "Breathe"!



Clean and Simple.....

Good morning everyone!  Welcome to my little corner of the world!  Do you ever just want a simple little card to have in your stash just in case?  You know, just in case you need a thank you card, or a thinking of you card.  Well MoJo has taken a road trip and I'm just cooling my heels waiting for her and decided to do just a simple card. 

I used my Pro Markers to color this image and set it up on a white background with a Spellbinders die under that...then a simple purple layer and a white base card.  Next I took the purple marker that I used on the flowers and colored a piece of seam binding, tied a simple bow and that's it!  How easy is that?  I'm forever more needing little thinking of you cards and now I have one more that is all ready to go.  All I have to do is write inside and send it on it's way. 

That's it for me today...if you see MoJo out there, tell her it's time to come home!  Have a wonderful Friday and enjoy your weekend!  I hope you find time to be creative!

My New Favorite Halloween Tag.....

Can you believe that Saturday has rolled around again.  It seems like the weeks are flying by and before you know it, the snow will be flying.  But before we get into the snow, I want to share a tag I made for Halloween.  I just love making tags; they are such little treasures!  There is almost as much  work in them as a card but they are just little works of art.  You can write a message on the back and slip them into a gift bag or they can be the gift itself.  So you see they are very useful!

I used some corner dies I had, painted black and then edged with Rub-N-Buff.  The birds are Tim Holtz and the little owls are from a piece of designer paper I have.  The clock is a Tim Holtz Stamp that I embossed in black and then cut out with a circle die.  Just layer a different color under the clock and it is ready to go.  The flower is some pre-made flowers I have that I spritzed with shimmer sprays.  How's that for quick and easy?

OK I am off to get my day started.  Have a great weekend!

A Holiday Card.....

As you can see, I can't make up my mind if I want to do Christmas or Halloween!  Today it's Christmas and I also have a Halloween Tag I will be sharing next!  So for today ... Christmas.  This is a card I made using Heartfelt Creations stamps.  I love these two sets and use them quite often.  HCPC 3309 Faith Heb. 11:1 PreCut Set and HCPC 3432 Magnificent spruce Trees PreCut Set.  Of course Spellbinders dies and pretty ribbon.  also embossed the large tree for part of the background.  You know, I just noticed, it looks like I might have gotten my background paper upside down!  Wonder if anyone else will notice? 

Well people, we are well on our way to another wonderful weekend.  Do you have amazing plans?  As for me, no plans, just hanging out and maybe a little crafting!  What could be better than that?
Have a great day

More Beautiful Roses.....

Good morning everyone!  I hope you are up and ready to face another Monday.  I want to share with you another card I have made.  This is a SU image I have had for awhile and have been playing with.  For some reason every time I ink this stamp, something happens and I never finish it, until this time.  I have used pencils, markers and finally distress inks as I experimented with this image.  I love it and finally decided the distress inks were the way for me.  I love green and pink together and  think these roses make a pretty nice card. 

So thank you Sylvia, my cyber friend, for encouraging me to finally finish this piece and share it with my followers! 

OK everyone, go get your second cup of coffee and let's get this day started!  The temps are cooling down here and the mornings have that crisp Fall feeling to them.  The days are in the 70's and 80's and you can just feel the seasons changing.  Have a wonderful Monday and no matter where you find yourself or what you wind up doing today, just remember to take a moment and Breathe!

Sunflowers....Some of my Favorites!

Good morning everyone and welcome to a Hot, Hot, Hot East Tennessee.  Knoxville reached a record high of 101 degrees yesterday and the little community where I live reached 96 degrees.  Now that is just too dang hot for this fat old woman!

If you visited my blog on Wednesday you might have noticed this flower sitting on my desk after I completed the bleaching technique.  This is the finished product.  I will be interested to see if I can add color back to the bleached areas but for this one I just left it as it.  It would be nice to have green leaves.  I have to apologize for the photo.  The yellow in the ribbon really didn't show very well, but the flower photographed well.  It seems it is always something with my pictures.  It just shows you all inept I am with the camera!

Well I hope you like my finished product.  I'm definitely going to play with adding color back after I have bleached.  Just to see what actually happens.    That about does it for me this morning.  I'm off to do a little coloring....just staying inside out of the heat.  The forcast is for climbing temps over the next few days and no rain in sight.  Take care of yourselves and don't over do while you are outdoors!

Magnolia Blossom Card....

Good morning everyone!  Happy Friday!  I'm so tired from all the chores, I would just love to sleep the day away.  But duty calls and I must answer.  I want to share another card.  Don't you just love Magnolia blossoms?  I think they are so elegant and we actually have a Magnolia tree in our yard.  But if you pick the blossoms, they immediately start turning brown and ugly.  I haven't been able to use them with other flowers and that makes me sad.  I colored the image using Ranger Distress inks and a water brush.  I have never caught on to Copics and actually sold all my markers earlier this year.  They were just lying here collecting dust, as I always color with the inks.  The sentiment is set onto a Spellbinders labels die and it happens to be from Heartfelt Creations.  A pretty piece of background paper some colorful card stock, a little ribbon and I call it finished! 

Enjoy your day and thanks so much for dropping by.  I always love hearing your comments, so be sure and let me know how you like the card. 
That's it for me this morning...remember to "Breathe"!

Welcome to Heartfelt Creations Wednesday.....

Since it is once again a Wednesday, I'm here to share another card I made for Heartfelt Creations .
This was so much fun to create and these wonderful stamps just make me want to use vellum!  You know I used to never use pink, but I have become attached to this color.  I'm sure you have noticed my frequent use of pink of late.  I also used heat embossing on this card and love the delicate look it gives to the flowers.  And don't you just love the cross? I do!  The stamp and die work beautifully together. 
Now if you are thinking....I could do this; why don't you head on over to the Heartfelt Creations blog and have a look around!  My card is there as well as the instructions and all the products used.  All the other creations from the other design team are there as well.  Just get yourself another cup of coffee and take a little time and look around!  You will be so inspired!  Make something for yourself!

I almost forgot to mention that Heartfelt Creations had a design team call going on.  You can get the details on the blog also!  Might be something you would want to consider!

As always you can visit all the design team blogs by clicking on their names on the side bar of my blog.

Well that about does it for me this morning.  Now go forth and create!
