Heartfelt Creations - Raspberry Swirl & Fall Notepad

Hi there!

It's Wednesday and that means it's time for some Heartfelt Creations' inspiration!  Today I have 2 projects for you using the Heartfelt Creations Classic Editions Collection released this month.  The first is a card I call "Raspberry Swirl".

I made this using the Ornamental Raspberries Set and Classic Editions Paper Collection.  I love this stamp from the set and all the swirls.  I thought it looked pretty with this Labels 20 die cut.  (Note: you can click on the photo to see this up close.  The complete details are listed at the bottom of the post.)

The second is a decorated junior notepad cover I call "Fall Notepad".

Here's a picture of the inside...

These make beautiful gifts, just add a pen and put in a clear cello bag with schreddies and a topper.  For the Fall Notepad I used the Antique Truck Set, Pumpkin Harvest Set, Classic Editions Set, and the Classic Editions Paper Collection.  The front image on this is one of the 3" x 4" images included on one of the designer papers that I added some stamped and die cut images to.  These 3" x 4" panels are AWESOME to use as a base when creating your cards or tags!  (Note: you can click on the photo to see this up close. The complete details are listed at the bottom of the post.)

For more inspiration, please visit the Heartfelt Creation's Blog here to see what the other designers have created!

Next week, it's time for the August Release!!!  Make sure to check back next Wednesday to see the gorgeous new collection!!!

 Blessings!
