Heartfelt Creations Inspiration Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

I have a couple of cards to show you today using Heartfelt Creations Stamps.  The first is called "Pumpkin Harvest Bounty" using stamps from the new July Release "Classic Editions Collections".

I combined a few of the stamp images together using masking, die cutting, and fussy cutting to create a little bounty scene.  It's fun to have all these images and designer papers coordinate together.  It makes designing a lot easier!


My second card is called "Special Puppy".

This is an older Heartfelt Creations stamp that I got recently.  I had cocker spaniels growing up that looked just like this sweetie pie and I just had to get the stamp!  I think it turned out pretty cute!

You can click on the pictures to see them better and all the supplies and instructions are at the bottom of the post.  Make sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the designers fabulous creations this week!

I'm also entering these in the following challenges:


Stampin' Sisters in Christ - Challenge #152 - creations that make you think of home, which both of these do.
Word Art Wednesday Challenge #41 - use scriture or uplifting words.


Blessings!
