Snowman Waving Hello

Happy Wednesday!

This week I have another Christmas/Winter card for you using the Snow Kissed Collection from Heartfelt Creations! This time I'm using the other snowman image from the Frolicking Frosty Set. Last week I used the skating snowman, this week I'm using the waving snowman.

This little guy is so cute! I colored him and the ornaments with pencils and mineral spirits. The image was stamped twice so I could add a second snowman over the image to "pop" it over the first. There is a matching die for the snowman.

The snowflakes were stamped with Nautical Blue Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I also added a little color to some areas of the snowflakes using a Dove Blender Pen and the blue ink. These all have matching dies so you can easily cut them out and add to your card. I used foam tape to add them giving them a little depth.

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to what the talented ladies have come up with for you!

I'm submitting this to the following challenge:

Frolicking Frosty Skating

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's time for a little Heartfelt Creations inspiration! This week I have another Christmas card to show you this time using the Snow Kissed Collection that was released on August 10th.

Owl Always Love You

He everyone!

Just wanted to show you a card I made for my Husband for our 21st Anniversary a couple of weeks ago. Pretty clean and simple, but I thought it came out cute!

I used the Sugar Hollow Cling Set for the owls and sentiment and then die cut a second owl image using the matching Sugar Hollow Tree Die. The images were colored with pencils and mineral spirits using paper stumps. The background is embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder from Stampin Up. Complete instructions are below if you would like them!

Birthday Owl Swinging

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a little inspiration with Heartfelt Creations!

This week I decided to use the Sugar Hollow Collection from a couple of months ago. I love these cute little owls!

The owl, swing and tree are all from the same set, Sugar Hollow Hangout. They all have matching dies to go with them which makes it fun piecing them together! I colored all the images with pencils and mineral spirits and used chalks for the owl belly and eyes.

The flowers are the Berry Blossoms from the Berry Cafe Collection. These also have a matching die so they are easy to cut out and shape. Not sure how realistic the flowers are with the tree, but I liked they way they looked together:)

The birthday sentiment is from the Sunrise Lily Flute Set. Three collections all in one card!

Here is a picture of the inside of the card. I used the little floral corner from the Berry Blossoms Set for this.

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week!
