Heartfelt Creations & Scor-Pal Cross Promotion

Happy Wednesday!

Today we are doing a cross promotion with Scor-Pal. Please visit the Heartfelt Creation blog at www.heartfeltcreations.us/blog and the Scor-Pal blog at http://scor-pal.blogspot.com/. Prepare to be blown away with all the amazing project featuring the Scor-Pal and Heartfelt Creations products.

I love my Scor-Pal Products and have been using them for years!  I use the Scor-Pal, Scor-Buddy and Scor-Tape all the time!  I just got the new version of the Scor-Pal that has measures in 1/8" and love that too!  I would be lost without my Scor-Tape, I use it for all my trims, box making, anything that needs extra adhesive power!

For my card today, I used the Summer Season Set with this beautiful Summer image and the Ornate Gateway Die for the window.  This shows the gate closed that I decorated with flowers and vines.

 

 

Here is the gate opened showing the beautiful Summer Season Image.  I just love the pinks and greens in the designer papers and colored the image to match.  I used my Prismcolor Pencils and mineral spirits to color this...one of my favorite things to do!

Make sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations and Scor-Pal Blogs to see all the beautiful creations!

Framed Fall Season - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's time for more inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!  This week I used the Fall Season image to make a framed piece that would make a pretty home decor gift!

I used a simple wood frame, painted it and added some of the red designer paper.   I decorated the frame with various Fall images from the Classic Editions Release of last year which go perfect with this image.  The puppy inside the frame is popped on the image with pop dots.

Here's a closeup of the image inside the frame.

Some closeups of the elements decorating the wood frame.

Here's a little side view...

Most of the elements on the frame are pieces I made last year that never made the "cut" on a project.  I save everything I make in page protectors by release so that I can use them on fun projects like this!

I hope I leave you a little inspired!  Please visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to all the beautiful projects by the designers this week!  I am amazed at the talent these ladies have, you will be too!

Heartfelt Creations - One Sheet Wonder Cards & Box

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Today I have a fun gift idea using Heartfelt Creations designer papers, stamps and dies!  A while back I created a "one sheet wonder" for a 6" x 6" piece of pattern paper.  I loved how it came out, so I decided to do one with HC's beautiful papers!  Here are the 6 cards I made.

Click on photo for a closer view

I love how these all coordinate together, it makes such a pretty gift!  I also made a gift box to go with these using HC's stamps.

If you're not familiar with "one sheet wonders", basically you use a piece of designer paper (or make your own), cut it into pieces using a pattern and make cards with the pieces.  I made the pattern for these and posted it in February on this post here  if you would like to read more about it or try making one yourself for a gift!

For lots more inspiration, please visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see what all the talented designers have created for you this week!
