HEARTFELT CREATIONS - JULY 25, 2012

I hope you are having a good week!  I had a wonderful time at CHA.  It was wonderful to see the Heartfelt Creations booth and to see all the wonderful Design Team projects in person.  Computers are wonderful, but let's just say that pictures on the screen don't do justice to many of the projects.  I also met some great people and came away from the show with tons of inspiration.  However, I came home to our County Fair (which I am heavily involved in) so I haven't had time to start all the projects I have planned in my head.  Well with fall coming and the kids going back to school in a few short weeks there will be time for crafting soon.

I have two cards to share with you this week that I created with Heartfelt Creations Classic Editions Collection including the wonderful new paper line.

PUMPKIN CARD

BLACK BERRIES SYMPATHY CARD

Some come with their stamp images in them; others are abstract. This will add some fun and variety to your creations!

The Classic Edition Collection stamp sets and die release is gearing towards the fall season and colder days. A rustic truck, wooden wagon, playful dog, berries, apples, and pumpkins will keep you busy creating as the sun begins disappearing earlier in the evenings.

HEARTFELT CREATIONS - JULY 4, 2012

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!  It is so dry in our area that we are under a burn ban until July 10th so there will not be any area firework displays, but we still are going to enjoy the day with a cookout.  I hope you are having a good day with family and friends celebrating the holiday.

It's also Heartfelt Creations' Wednesday and I would like to share two more cards I have made with the sweet Garden Romance Collection.  This collection can be used in so many ways, it definately is a must have set.  In my Blue Birdhouse Card I used the HCD 723 - Garden Romance Die to die cut the birdhouse to create a 3D effect in the scene and I also die cut the butterflies and bent their wings slightly up before adhereding them with a glue dot in the center .  In my Mailbox Card I paper pieced the mailbox and shaded it with Copics to add dimension and then I also die cut it with the HCD 723 - Garden Romance Die and adhered it with pop dots.  These added touches really make the cards special for the receiver.
