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 September Release!

Happy Wednesday!

We are pleased to introduce the Delicate Asters Collection. You are creative. Show your friends with this unique Aster collection. With beautiful elegant petals and Monarch butterflies, this set will represent you in a lively popping way. The typography makes speaking from your heart quick and easy. Our paper is a great value for those looking to get their money’s worth on materials. Since there are two different designs on the paper’s front and back, you get 24 different designs in one package. Now you have a variety of options when you get bored.

There are 6 new PreCut Stamp Sets, one 12x12 Paper Collection, and one beautiful new exclusive Spellbinders die designed for Heartfelt Creations. Leave a comment on the HC blog by September 18th and you will be eligible to win the entire release valued at $145.92 .


This collection is SO amazing!!!  The stamps and dies are gorgeous!  I love how delicate the flowers are and how beautiful the different sizes look together!  I'm not that experienced at making flowers, but I really love how these ones come out!  The designer papers are stunning and make creating with the stamps and dies an absolute dream!  It honestly took a little while to actually cut the papers because they are SO beautiful!  I wasn't the only one either!





The card I made here uses a sentiment block that I cut from one of the papers that has a bunch of different ones on it.  All I did here was frame the sentiment block with the Decorative Window Die, trimmed it, and add embellishments!  (Complete details are at the end of the post.)  These sentiment blocks are something new with this collection that I love!  The journal blocks are also included that I like to just stamp sentiments on and add to cards.  The other designers have created some gorgeous albums with this also!  Of course, you can always use them as actual journal blocks for scrapbooking! :-)

Please visit the HC Blog to see all the gorgeous creations by the designers!  Also, make sure to leave a comment there to be eligible to win the entire release!

I am submitting this to the latest Word Art Wednesday Challenge #45 using Scripture or uplifting sentiments or quotes.  Also, to the Stampin' Sisters In Christ Challenge #156 - create with bright colors only, no black, brown, or neutrals.

Thank you for stopping by and hope this gives you some inspiration!

Blessings!

Kathy
