Heartfelt Creations: We Three Kings...

Hello! Today I have an easy card to share using papers from Heartfelt Creations Christmas Card Collection.  This card uses no stamps are dies! The sentiment, image and designer papers are all from the Christmas Card Collection paper pad.  I added some sequins and rhinestones, but this card was super quick and easy to assemble.

Make sure you check out the Heartfelt Creations blog for more inspiration from the design team!  You will also find the product list and instructions on recreating this card on the HC blog.

TSOL: Sweeter Than Honey...

Hello! I have a card to share today using stamps from The Stamps Of Life.  I love the these little bees and the hexagon background that goes perfectly with the bee sets.  I stamped the background in chocolate ink and then stamped the individual hexagons in a random pattern in mustard ink.  The bees are stamped and colored.  I used the coordinating bee dies to cut them.  I used distress ink on the edges of all of my paper to create depth.

TSOL: Good Old Fashioned Snail Mail!

Hello! I am so excited about the new set from The Stamps Of Life! The new club set for this month is snails2mail. LOVE!!  I had fun paper piecing the shell and body with patterned paper on the first card.
The second card uses the small snail and "hello" from the snails2mail set.  I also used stamps from the postage2stamp and postmarks2stamp sets, along with the coordinating postage die.  I added some sequins because it just needed something extra!

Make sure you check out the gallery on TSOL site for more inspiring card ideas from TSOL gals!
