Heartfelt Creations: Farmer's Market

Hello! I am sharing a card using Heartfelt Creation's new Farmer's Market collection. I love the jars in this collection. I used some 3D laquer to go over the jar to give it a glossy sheen. It is hard to photograph, but in "real life" it looks like glass.
I also created a fun layout using papers, stamps and dies from this collection. You can find the tutorial for recreating this layout HERE.

Heartfelt Creations: Christmas in August!

Hello! Today I have two Christmas cards to share using products from Heartfelt Creations. I used products from the Sparkling Poinsettia collection, and I love that I can get two completely different looks!
The first card is kind of shabby chic. I LOVE pink poinsettias, so of course, I had to make a pink poinsettia card.  This card takes a bit of time. Coloring, shaping and layering the flowers.
This card was easier to put together. I used a card panel from the paper collection, stamped the circle sentiment and cut it out using the matching die. Easy Peasy!

Heartfelt Creations: Blazing Poppy mini album

Hello! Today I have a mini album to share with you using different elements from Heartfelt Creation's Blazing Poppy collection.  I used cardstock Project Life sized cards (3"x4") for the base and cover of this album along with tags and other elements from this beautiful collection.
All of my photos are square in size (about 2.5").
I picked favorite photos of the highlights of our summer, thus far!
I have learned NOT to be afraid to incorporate florals (which I love) into my scrapbooking of my boys. I think this collection is perfect with the bold red, black, green and white color scheme.
When creating mini albums, I also like to mix both color and black and white photos together. If I have a specific color theme for an album, I will sometimes choose photos where the colors may not match and instead use a black and white photo that is more neutral.
I like incorporating pages from old books into my layouts. Just make sure that you look at the text. Wouldn't want anything "inappropriate" next to your beloved photos! ;)

Heartfelt Creations: Peacock Paisley and New Chameleon pens!!!

Hello! I am so excited to share this card today! Not only do I love this image, but I am super excited that it was colored with my new Chameleon Pens. :)  I only used four different markers to achieve this look. Not too shabby for my first time! I think they are genius and a real value. I can get pretty much the same look with only 20 markers that I can get 100's of copic markers.
You can find out instructions on how to make this card on the Heartfelt Creations blog!

Heartfelt Creations: So Proud Of You!!!

Hello! I am sharing a card today using more goodies from Heartfelt Creation's  Peacock Paisley collection. This card utilizes the beautiful paper panels. I stamped a daisy image, cut it using the coordinating die and colored. Easy peasy!
Heartfelt Creation paper collections are a must have. There are so many different sizes and styles of panels to make card making easy when you do not have the time for hours of coloring. I am a "less is more" kind of girl, so this card showcases the beautiful daisy all on it's own!

The Stamps Of Life: Cats2stamp!

Hello! Today I am sharing some cards using the cats2stamp set from The Stamps Of Life. I am not a lover of cats...not at all.  I am highly allergic, and they just don't do it for me. But....I really loved playing with this set! I think this cat is super adorable. It looks friendly, it doesn't make me itch or make my eyes swell shut, and it doesn't hiss at me and give me attitude. MY KIND OF CAT!
I do have several friends who LOVE cats, so I know just who to send these cards to! There is a matching die that you can purchase with the set, too!
:If you are a lover of cats, or know people who are...this is a great set to add to your collection!
