Joyfully Made Designs: Heartfelt Creations May Release!

Be Joyful

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the PEACE OF GOD, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7

These are verses I memorized years ago and they are written on my heart. There are times when I still need to remember not to be anxious, but I eventually listen to my heart saying these verses. I didn't really understand what the "peace of God" was until I experienced it. It's having peace inside you, even when you're going through heartbreaking situations and trials. It does "surpass ALL understanding" and you know it comes from GOD alone. Praise the Lord for His wonderful promises!

I love, love, love what I do. I am passionate about the things I create and the talents God has placed in me. I SO appreciate the time you take to look at my things and the comments you all leave me!

Blessings to you!

Heartfelt Creations May Release!

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's time the new release from Heartfelt Creations!

We are pleased to introduce the Sun Kissed Fleur Collection. This collection includes 2 dies: the Gift Ensemble die (yes, you can make a fancy box with this die!) and the Sun Kissed Fleur die which cuts out 10 different flowers at a time. How's that for value?
The paper collection, called Sun Kissed Collection, comes in vibrant aquas and oranges and fades to light greens and yellows. The paper pack comes with 24 12 x 12 papers that have designs on both sides and are acid & lignen free. There are 2 sheets per design; some are dramatic; others are subdued.
You also have a wonderful selection of floral stamps to choose from: fancy tags, an overflowing basket, beautiful patterned backgrounds, borders and corners.
Leave a comment on the Heartfelt Creations blog by May 14th and you will be eligible to win the entire release valued at $180.91

Here is my first creation with the new collection:

I used this beautiful basket image from the Sun Kissed Tags & Basket Set and added some extra flowers from the Sun Kissed Fleur Set that has the matching die. I colored the image with pencils and mineral spirits and fussy cut the image to pop in on the white embossed background inside the frame. I added a couple of leaf swirls from the Gift Ensemble Die, cut from the designer paper and added the extra flowers to them.

The green frame was made by embossing with the Scrollwork Folder, die cutting the oval and trimming the outside up to the scrollwork design. I kind of like how this came out!

You need to go the the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see Emma Lou's fabulous video showing you the collection! I love how she does these videos showing and explaining everything! You can also see all the designers beautiful creations this week, including all the new designers...wow, what a talented group of ladies!
