Heartfelt Creations Inspiration Wednesday Times Two!

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for some Heartfelt Creations inspiration!  This week I have two creations to show you, one using the Vintage Floret Collection and the other with the Delicate Asters Collection.

This card is made using this month's Vintage Floret Collection.

I love the soft colors of the designer paper and decided to coordinate everything around it and have the card base made out of the designer paper.  The die I used is Spellbinder's Labels 23 Grand, which I purchase just so I could use it as a card base like this.  It's such a pretty shape for a card and I like the way it looks with the Floral Oval Die.  For a closer look, just click on the picture.  Complete details on this are at the bottom of my post.

The second card I made with the Delicate Asters Collection. 

I love this flower and vase image and how it fits perfectly in the Romantic Rectangles Die.  (Can you tell I like using dies, LOL?)  These flowers are so easy to color and die cut and always seem to come out so pretty without doing much to them!

I hope I've given you some inspiration to enjoy!  I really love "working" with the HC stamps, dies, and designer papers, and I pray I can continue as a designer for them.  I'm on pins and needles to find out if I made it through with the voting results!

If you would like more inspiration, please visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the gorgeous creations made by the design team this week!

Blessings!
