The Decorative Metal Fixtures Die compliments the ornamental lights, and cheerful Christmas themed stamps giving easy detail and decoration to any project. There are 6 new PreCut Stamp Sets, one 12x12 Paper Collection, and one beautiful new exclusive Spellbinders die designed for Heartfelt Creations. Leave a comment on the HC blog by August 14th and you will be eligible to win the entire release valued at $145.92 .

I'm so excited to show you the August Release for Heartfelft Creations!!!  These stamps and designer papers and dies are sooooo GORGEOUS!!!  I feel like a kid in a candy store to be able to "work" with all these!  It's the best job ever!  Can you tell I'm excited, lol?

Anyway, here is my creation for this new collection...



I love this birdhouse image, as it allows me to do my favorite thing...coloring.  The images and desginer papers coordinate with the Poinsettia stamp set and dies which I love!  The birds match the Brookside Manor Stamp Set and the Garden Romance Dies from the Garden Romance Collection.  I love to be able to use supplies I already have with something new!  (All the supplies and instructions are listed at the end of this post.)

I'm also submitting this is the latest Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #53 - bling with ribbon.  I bought this white silk ribbon from them a while back and have been saving it for the right project...it's so gorgeous the way it "falls".

Make sure to see all the gorgeous creations on the HC Blog and all the new products in the Collection this month!  Also, be sure to leave a comment there for a chance to win the entire collection!

Blessings!

Kathy
