Happy Birthday ......

 Good morning friends!  I'm constantly trying to find new designs for the birthday cards I need to make each year.  I have been loving the slim line cards and do one every chance I get.  Recently I had a dear friend having a birthday and this is the card I made for her.

I used a Gina K Designs stamp set that is called Holiday Tapestry and was introduced as a Christmas set but this flourish can be used in so many ways.  I'm seeing a lot of this flourish in my life.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.  I just love the white embossing on that pretty blue background!  

Well that's it for me this Monday morning!  Hope all is well in your world!  Try and do something today that brings you Joy!

Good morning my friends and I hope you are keeping well!  It has been cold and snowy here in East Tennessee over the past few days.  No accumulations but just dusting roof tops and shrubs.  I love to sit by the window and watch the snow falling and so I have been content.  This morning I'm here to share another card I have made for Heartfelt Creations.  It is sporting some summer blooms so I'm hoping it makes you feel like we took a walk in the garden!

Other Products: White Cardstock, Dimensional Tape, Hot Glue Gun, Die Cut Machine

Instructions: My finished card size is 5" x 7". Make card base and cover with a piece of the paper collection. I used Sheet 8B Green. Next, using gold cardstock cut out the largest Royal Elegance Frames Die and using dimensional tape, add it to the card front. Using white cardstock cut out the next size down of the dies and using DDots attach it to the gold piece. Cut an oval from the paper collection; I used 6A it is a pinkish color, then attach this to the white die cut. Stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock and using one of the decorative die pieces cut it out and using dimensional tape, add it to the card front. This gives you some dimension and draws attention to the different die cuts.

Stamp the leaves with Fern Green and using daubers color with leaf green ink and then edge in Library green for some more depth of color. Cut out with coordinating die. Lay them onto the 3D mold and spritz with water and run through the die cut machine. Lay them out onto the desk and allow to dry.

Stamp the Flowers with the colors you are going to color them with. Use what color makes you happy. Next cut out the petals with coordinating dies. This time instead of using the molds to shape the petals I used the Golf Tools and a pair of tweezers to shape and curl the flower petals. It was fun to do this for a change. Next, layer the petals and glue together then add Prills to the centers. Cut up one of the sponges and add glue then dust with glitter and allow to dry. Decide on placement of the flowers and leaves and glue them down. The card is finished!

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!

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!
