Thinking of You....

Good morning everyone!  I'm here this morning to share my second card posted on the Heartfelt Creations Blog last Wednesday.

I just love this sweet little sitting hummingbird and let him carry the card .  My card is not over the top busy; just sort of clean and simple lines.

WOYWW #367

I have been absent for awhile as I got back in the swing of things with being on the design team for Heartfelt Creations.  With new design team work, yard work and working in my garden I've been away.  I have sorely missed  being with you ladies and am hopping I can be one of you again!  I'm hoping Julia is recovering nicely and that she will be among us again soon!  Until then we are gathering at Lunch Lady Jan's digs.

Not a huge amount on my desk this morning.  My usual mug of coffee and some new sponge daubers I had ordered.  Then there is my wonderful new set of dies from Heartfelt creations.  I love the lovely oval shape and all the different ways you can use the dies.  To the left there are three pill bottles that have Woodland Scenics pollen in them.  You can just put a dab of glue on the end of stamen for flowers and it makes for a stunning flower center.  I love this; it is so realistic.

That does it for me this morning.  I'm off to visit as many of you as I can!  Have a great day and Happy WOYWW!

Pleated Hummingbird Swirls...

Good morning everyone!  It is the beginning of a brand new week here in East Tennessee and it's very hot.  Our temperatures have climbed into the 90's and it is very dry here.  A few afternoon showers would surely be welcome!
I'm here this morning to share another card I created for Heartfelt Creations using the brand new Botanical Orchid collection.

Instructions:
My card is 4 1/2" x 5 1/2".  Make card base and add the die cut border and then cover with a piece of the paper collection.  Cut a piece of paper 3" x 11" and score at 1 1/2", 2", 3", 3 1/2", 4 1/2", 5", 6", 6 1/2", 7 1/2", 8", 9" and 9 1/2" . Next I measured up on the two short sides by 1 1/2" and on one side I cut from the 1 1/2" mark to the 5" score line.  On the other side I cut from the 1 1/2" mark to the 6" score line.   Fold paper in mountain and valley fold and adhere to card front.  Next cut a piece of paper 1" wide and glue to the top of the pleated piece.  Glue down the bling.  Next stamp and cut out the hummingbird and color with Distress Ink.  Use a Double Dot to adhere to the card front.  Stamp the sentiment and your card is ready to go!

This card is featured on the Heartfelt Creations Blog along with many other creations by the very talented design team. Go have a look around and I know you will be inspired!  This does it for me this morning, but be sure to come back on Wednesday when I will have something brand new to share with you!

A Special Hug For You.....

Good morning everyone.  It is once again Monday and my weeks are flying by. Summer is my busy time with the garden and yard work and I have been very busy lately.  My garden is in and doing well; my green beans are climbing and blooming and we had rain over the weekend.  It was just at the best time.  Now for just a bit I can turn my mind to my handmade blooms.  Everything outside is doing well and now these are stepping to the front of my card.

This tag in a tag is made using the Sunrise Lily collection from Heartfelt Creations.  You too create these flowers by following Emma Lou's video on how to create and shape these lovely blooms. https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/video/7/flower-shaping-101-how-to-shape-gorgeous-lilies-for-cards-papercrafts-and-scrapbooks

That does it for me this morning.  Hope you have a wonderful day and no matter where you find yourself, I hope you take time to "Breathe"!
