So Grateful for You... Heartfelt Creations Card...

Good morning everyone!  I hope each of you had a wonderful Valentine's Day; I sure did!  This morning I'm here to share another card I have made for Heartfelt Creations.

Heartfelt Creations Products Used:

HCPC 3520 Botanical Oval PreCut Set

HCD 730 Decorative Butterfly Corner Die

Other Supplies:  Spellbinders Standard Ovals Large, Ranger Distress Inks, white embossing powder, pink marker, Memento ink, glue, pearls, Canson watercolor paper, blue cardstock

Instructions:  Card Size 6 X 6 

Make card base with watercolor paper.  Stamp the image and emboss onto a piece of white velum as well as a piece of pink velum.  Use a pink marker to add little dots to the image.  Cut out the pink flowers and glue to the white image.  Next I cut out two of the corner dies and cut away part of the die cut to achieve a different look.  Adhere to the corners of the velum piece.  I also cut the bottom portion of the die cut and adhered it to the bottom of the card.  Glue pearls to this piece of the die cut.  Next I stamped and cut out the sentiment and while it was still in the die I added some pink ink to it to match the pink of the flowers.  Adhere the piece of vellum to the blue cardstock being careful to glue down under the corners and under flowers so the glue will not show through.  Adhere this all to the base and your card is finished.

That's it for me this morning!  I hope you have a good Friday and that you are getting geared up for the weekend!  And remember no matter where you are or what you are doing, take a moment and "Breathe"!

My last Valentine.......

This little card should take care of my Valentine's Day cards.  I don't do nearly as many as I used to.  Just the one's for my grandsons and one or two for friends and I'm done. This little image was already colored and ready to go so all I had to do was cut her out and add a computer generated sentiment and the card is all ready to go.  Just a CAS card and one that will go in the mail with no problem.

Well that's it for me this morning.  I hope you have a good day and no matter what you are doing, I hope you find a little time to be creative!

Another Valentine's Day Card.....

Valentine's Day will be here before we know it and I still have a few cards to make.  I'm trying to keep them in a range where they will go in regular mail and not take extra postage.  Mostly I'm doing the cards for grandsons and they don't want frilly bows or fancy flowers so I've really had to rethink how I do things.

My card size is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 and is relatively flat so it should mail just fine.  I colored my little snow girl with Ranger Distress Inks and the sentiment is one I typed and printed on my computer.  A few Spellbinders dies and my card is all set to go!

Well that's it for me this morning.  Hope you have a good day and a wonderful weekend!

Another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday.....

Good morning everyone and welcome to Heartfelt Creations Wednesday!  I love Wednesday because it is right in the middle of the week and I get to share what I have been working on.

Antique Lantern

Heartfelt Creations Products Used:

HCPC 3512 Antique Lantern PreCut Set

HCPC 3303 Posy Patch Flowers PreCut Set

HCD 701 Posy Patch Die

Other Supplies:  Seam binding, cardstock, Memento Ink, Spectrum Noir Markers, Ranger Distress Ink, Scor-Tape, Zutter distress tool,  glue, pearls, dew drops in Dark Vanilla

Instructions:  Card Size 6” X 6”

Make card base using the watercolor paper for stability.  Cut a piece of the paper collection and distress the edges; add distress ink to the edges.  Glue this to the card base.  Stamp and color image; mat with a piece of brown card stock.  Stamp and cut out flowers and glue them to the image piece; attach the pearls.  Color seam binding and tie around this piece.  Cut out the corner die and then I cut some of the piece so my image would slide up under part of the die cut; glue and tape everything to the card base.

Now why don't you go on over to the HC blog and have a look around.  We all have been working hard to Wow you this week!

Another week has rolled around and it is time for me to share my work space.  I have missed a couple of weeks but am back on track and so happy to be playing along again this week.  If you want to hear about this madness, just go on over to Julia's blog and have a look around.

I have been working on some Valentine's Day cards and am in the process of coloring some cute little images and as always, I  have some flowers in the works.  I know this picture looks like it was staged, but trust me, it is not.  I have to keep my space tidy because it is such a small area and if it gets cluttered then I lose things that I really need at the moment.  Usually it's right under my nose, but it is so frustrating.  I zoomed in because I'm working on some things that I cannot show just yet.  So they are piled to the left...I'm a piler and a push to the back kind of girl!

Hearts and Flowers......

Good morning everyone!  I hope you had a good weekend!  I spent the days crafting a little and watching the big game! 

I'm here this morning to share a Valentine card I have made.  Remember when that special someone used to show up loaded down with hearts and flowers?  Well this little image just reminded me of those days and I just had to color him up and use him on this card. 

 

I colored my image with Rangers Distress inks and a brush.  My sentiment is computer generated and the heart is from the Heartfelt Creations Timeless Amour Dies  (HCD 728).

 

Well that is all I have this morning.  I hope you have a good day and that you have just a little time to be creative.  And as always, remember to "Breathe"!
