Heartfelt Creations Inspiration

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's time for a little inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!  Today I have a "You Are My Sunshine" Card and a matching wood hanger to show you!

 

 

 

(Click on photo for a better view)

The card is made using one of the journal blocks from the Daphne Paper Collection that I stamped with a sentiment and added some leaves and flowers.  I popped this on an embossed background and added some pearls and ribbon.  Very easy card to put together using these pretty papers!

I decorated the small wood hanger (8.66" x 4.53") by painting it and then adhered designer papers from the collection to it with Mod Podge. I then embellished it with the same flowers, leaves, pearls and ribbon as the card.  This would be perfect for hanging a baby dress in a baby's room or a pretty wall hanging in any room.  I think this would make a beautiful gift for someone!

Morning Glory Doily

Happy Thursday everyone!

Today I have a new card for you using CottageCutz' Morning Glory and Oval Doily & Frame Dies. 

I love using lots of white with a pop of color to show how beautiful these dies are!  The pieces were cut with white card stock and the flowers and leaves were colored with chalk inks to match this pretty lavender ribbon.  I then shaped them and added some White Opal Liquid Pearls to the flower centers.  I added the leaves and flower to the center doily with pop dots and added the outside piece of the doily to the card with pop dots.   Here's a closeup of the flowers!

The card base is made with Orchid Opulence Cardstock with a white mat embossed with Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.  The ribbon is Lavender Seam Binding from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I didn't add a sentiment to this, but it could be used for all kinds of occasions! 

Here are the dies I used:

Christmas Candle - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's time for some Heartfelt Creations' inspiration!  I have another Christmas Card for you this week using the new Christmas Card Collection.  Last week my card was a little labor intensive, this time I have a fairly easy card to put together using the new papers!

The main image on this, the candle, is stamped and colored.  The background, though, is taken from the Christmas Card Collection Designer Paper.  I added a green mat to it and placed it on a white card base.  If you click on the photo, you can see how easy it was to put this together!

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the beauties by the designers this week and to see who won the entire collection!

Fancy Cattails & Butterflies Card - CottageCutz

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I have a card using a new die from CottageCutz called Fancy Cattails & Butterflies.  Such a pretty little summer scene this is!

I cut out the die using Certainly Celery, then a piece of Real Red for the flowers that I cut and glued to it.  The butterflies and cattails were cut with Solar White, colored with chalk inks and glued the main piece.  This piece was glued to a white mat embossed with Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder that was matted with Real Red.

The white card base is matted with designer papers from Nana's Kitchen by DCWV.  I then added some red ribbon and bow, adhesive pearls and White Opal Liquid Pearls for the flower centers.

Here is a picture of the die I used:
