HEARTFELT CREATIONS - JANUARY 30, 2013

I hope everyone is having a good week!  We are having another crazy weather week here in Indiana.  Last week with wind chills the temps were way below zero and here yesterday we had a thunderstorm and today the temperature is suppose to reach 60 degrees.  The weather here really keeps you on your toes!

Since it feels like Spring today I decided to show you a card that features a beautiful blue bird that I colored with Copics that uses Heartfelt Creations  HCPC 3511 - Melodious Songbird PreCut Set.  I just love the sentiment from this set and it goes just beautifully with the image!

HEARTFELT CREATIONS

Hi everyone from frigid Northern Indiana!  Yesterday morning when I woke up it was 6 degrees with a wind chill of 15 below zero and today is not supposed to be any better.  I think it sound like a perfect day to stay in the warm house and craft all day! 

 

The first card I made this week for Heartfelt Creations is a get well card that features a stamp from the Organic Fillers PreCut Set and the HC Vintage Floret Paper Collection.

 

FEEL BETTER SOON CARD

The next card I created is a thank you card featuring the Floral Fence PreCut Set and the HC Countryside Evening Paper Collection. 

FLORAL FENCE CARD

This month Heartfelt Creations is teaming up with The Robin's Nest. I added The Robin's Nest Dew Drops in Early Dawn on my  Floral Fence Card. Dew Drops come in all colors and different shapes and add just the right amount of accent to any project.

HEARTFELT CREATIONS COUNTRYSIDE EVENING COLLECTION

I have two projects to share with you today that shows off more of the beautiful paper from Heartfelt Creations' Countryside Evening Collection.  My first project is a tag and I used the  HCPC 3515 - Burlap Background PreCut Set for the background before adding the beautiful blue paper and the sentiment.

 

I AM THE WAY TAG

For my second project I created a picture frame for a vintage picture I purchased at the antique mall recently.  I have the new HCD 729 - Decorative Blossoms Corner Die peeking out from two corners and I added several posies to make a 3D frame.  I finished the frame with a bow made from seam binding and a couple pearl stick pins.  Display this picture frame on an easel and you have a perfect way to enjoy your picture!
