Deer Special Moments


Happy Wednesday!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and wonderful time with friends and family! We spent it with our neighbors who have become like family :)

I have another card for you this week using the Woodsy Wonderland Collection! So much fun creating these cute forest scenes!





I used the Woodsy Critters and Woodsy Treescape Sets and matching dies for my scene. The deer and grass are all one piece and the trees were cut apart from a tree border piece.

All the images were colored with pencils and mineral spirits. The background for the scene and the outside panel are from the designer papers and are placed on a green card base and brown mat.

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations' Blog to see the wonderful inspiration from the designers this week!

I'm submitting this to the following challenge:

Woodsy Wonderland Side Step Card


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for the new release from Heartfelt Creations, the Woodsy Wonderland Collection! Love this collection, it's perfect for guy cards! Here is a little write up about it.

Heartfelt Creations invites you to lose yourself in an enchanting woodsy wonderland filled with magnificent wildlife, beautiful scenic expanses and delicate field flowers. A stunning paper collection showcasing a beautiful outdoor themed color palette of rushing river blues, orange and yellow sunset hues, grass like greens accented with the softest wildflower whites, deep purples, and posy pinks, pulled together and grounded with dark tree bark browns, sky blues and moss like greens.


For my first card with this collection I decided to create a forest scene using a side step card for the base. These scenes are so much fun to create!




The back fold has the 3-trees, the second has 2 of the foxes facing each other and the rest is all on the front of the base. All the images were colored with pencils and mineral spirits and cut with their matching dies. I like the way everything look on the black base, really makes it all pop!

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the awesome projects by the designers this week!  Emma Lou also has a new video on the blog showing you how to create a nature scene using a foldout card!

Golden Bath Time


Happy Wednesday!

Today I have another card using the Pampered Pooch Collection from Heartfelt Creations. This week with an adorable golden retriever having a bath! I love these golden images, especially where I have a golden retriever myself :) Here is my card!



Aren't they cute? As soon as I saw this collection, I couldn't wait to color this little guys!

The "frame" I created for the image is made with one of the card panels from the designer papers that I matted with green and added to a brown card base. The images were all colored with pencils and mineral spirits using paper stumps...my favorite way to color! The 2 little goldens were die cut with a matching die. The Best Wishes tag was die cut from the designer papers.

In case you're interested...here is my golden retriever, Bailey! The sweetest boy ever!




This picture was taken in my craft room by my desk...he's waiting for me to move the cords so he can lay down. Such a sweet face :)

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