Heartfelt Creations: Everlasting Love

Hello! Today I am sharing a card using the Romantique Garden collection from Heartfelt Creations. I just love the swan stamps and matching dies. I can't stop using them on my cards!  Once again, I used one of the card panels from the Romantique Garden paper collection. It looks like I spent hours layering, but that is just one piece of paper!

Heartfelt Creations: Warmest Wishes

Hello! Today I have a Christmas card to share using elements from Heartfelt Creations Festive Christmas collection. I love using paper collections for my Christmas cards. It makes mass production so much easier, as there is no stamping or coloring required! I simply added tinsel glitter to the frame around the lantern. I also added some diamond Stickles to the berries, poinsettia and flame.  I cut the sentiment from the same paper collection and used a die to frame it.

Sizzix new Step-up die!

Hello! I am sharing a couple of cards today, using the new Sizzix Step-up die by Stephanie Barnard. I never have the patience for cutting and scoring these cards myself, so this die makes it quick and easy to create a fun, dimensional card. I love that the recipient can keep it on their desk or table to display!
The first card uses the kites2fly set from The Stamps of Life.

The second card uses flower dies and flourishes that actually come with this die set! I just sponged them with distress inks and added some copper Gala Glitz beads to the centers.

You can purchase this die from Sizzix or from The Stamps Of Life site!

TSOL: Berry lucky...

Hello! I have a card to share today using stamps and dies from The Stamps Of Life. I think these strawberry stamps and dies are my favorite of the entire summer! I used the dies to cut the strawberries and leaves from patterned paper. I added some vintage buttons and burlap twine bows to the centers of the stems. I inked the edges of my card in Old Paper distress ink, and then used some of the reinker mixed with water to create the splatter by flicking it with a paint brush.
The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye but is several years old. I have no clue what collection.

TSOL: Crazy4daisies and making your own enamel dots!

Hi, there! Today I have a card to share using The Stamps Of Life set, crazy4daisies.  I used Stephanie's inks in Guava, Licorice, Tangerine and Artichoke.
 I also melted some yellow pony beads in the oven to create my own enamel dots for the flower centers! It is a bit stinky, so make sure you open some windows. I put the beads on a piece of parchment paper on a cookie tray. I stuck them in the oven for about 5 minutes at 300 degrees. I would watch them closely, as everyone's ovens are different. The first batch I burned a bit! LOL!

Have a great weekend!
