Heartfelt Creations - Sunny Day Collection

Happy Wednesday!

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

For my project this week, I have a tri-shutter card made with the new Sunny Day Collection.  These papers are so gorgeous, I just love the soft colors on these!





I love making these cards as they look complicated, but are actually pretty easy!  There's lots a little areas to places elements if you want to also!  This card really shows the beautiful designer papers that go with the collection.  Here's a close up picture of the front of the card with the window image.  The image is fussy cut and then I place a piece of the designer paper behind it for a little scene.






Here are some more views of the card.







Please visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the designer's beautiful creations this week!

  15. I would love to make this card. Is it possible that you could make up a kit for this with instructions included? I am a very visual and hands-on card maker so I like to have everything needed at hand. After I have made one card, then I have no trouble getting inspiration and ideas to make more, but I initially need a "kit" to do the first card. Please help....thank you so much.
