Prickley Pear Design Team

I am now also on the Prickley Pear Design Team, so be sure to look us up every Monday for new ideas and inspiration!!  Here is the GG0053 Love Birds stamp.  I embossed the image with clear embossing powder over a brown stamped image.  Then I colored the birds with Copic Markers.  Cut out the image with a square die, leaving the die over the paper, sponge with Victorian Velvet Distress ink.  Remove the die and mat onto the chocolate box paper from core'dinations.  It has pink on the back side, so when you distress around the edges, you will see some of the pink paper.  The background is embossed with the Cuttlebug folder on the same core'dinations paper.  When sanding the embossed area, the pink shows through.  Then add the ribbon and charm to complete the card.  Thanks for looking!

I love the Delicate Asters Collection.  These flowers are so dainty and elegant.  You can add layers of the same size flowers and the flowers look more like Gerber Daisies, but if you add layers of different sizes...A different flower!  This collection comes with open flowers and solid flowers.  I love them both.  The open flowers, I color with Copic markers.  They are easy to color.  Just a few strokes and the flowers are ready to be cut.  I like to color the solid flowers with the Distress Markers.  Add all the shading colors directly onto the stamp, stamp onto paper and it's ready to cut out!!  The matching decorative paper is absolutely gorgeous too.  Love the purples!  Be sure to check out the Heartfelt Creations blog for more inspiration.  Also get a sneak peek on the new designs that will be available next week!

Holiday Lists

Using the beautiful papers from Heartfelt Creations, I created this Holiday Lists book.  This was made with a plain manilla folder that is covered decorator papers and folded to crete this pocket book.  Then I made different lists for the holidays...a To Do Lists, a gift list, a Menu list and the grocery list.  The titles were made with a alphabet die.  You can be creative and make your own custom lists that fit your needs.  Then on the cover I decorated it with the holiday ornaments and cut them out with the Spellbinder dies that match these stamps.  Finally, I bound it with the Zutter.  These papers from Heartfelt Creations are gorgeous and they don't need a lot to add to them to have a stunning project.  Check out the Heartfelt Creations blog to see all the other beautiful projects and also to get a Sneak Peek at the new stamps that are coming out next week!!!

Ornamental Light Collection

We are pleased to introduce the Ornamental Light Collection.  This collection is a refreshing twist to the traditional Christmas genre.  The decorative metal fixtures die compliments the ornamental lights and cheerful Christmas themed stamps giving easy detail and decoration to any project.  There are five new PreCut Stamp sets, one 12x12 Paper Collection and one beautiful new exclusive Spellbinders die designed for Heartfelt Creations.  Leave a comment on the Heartfelt Creations blog by August 14th and you will be eligible to win the entire release valued at $145.92.

Here is a sample of the Holiday Mail Stamp set.  I made this for CHA to be put on display there.  The Metal Fixtures die set has many elements that are fun to use in a variety of ways.  I especially like the corner piece that I used here.  I used the weathered wood Distress Ink this time.  I normally love the frayed burlap, but this gives a more gray/silver look.  This may just become another favorite for me!!  Don't forget to check out the many wonderful projects and cards on the HC blog and be sure to leave a comment, so you have a chance to win this beautiful collection!

Fall is in the Air

These new Classic Editions stamps from Heartfelt Creations have so many elements that can create the perfect fall scene.  The pumpkins, apples, flowers and gourds look perfect in the wagon, the bucket, or the pick-up truck.  Both of these cards were colored with Copic markers.  The Frayed Burlap Distress Ink adds to the fall flavor and has a more vintage look...to remember those days gone by!  Be sure to check out more of these fall inspirations on the Heartfelt Creations Blog!
