Heartfelt Wednesday's

Hi, Welcome back to this week's Heartfelt Wednesday's! I just love this old photo of Roxy and so I am using it again! This layout was inspired by another DT member over at HC. Thanks Glenda for your beautiful inspiration of your Golden Rose Card. All the instructions for this lo can be seen at Heartfelt Creations Blog. Everything here is made with cardstock...NO patterned paper at all...super fun to make the roses...very addicting....you will be seeing more of these soon... :)

Here is a close-up of just some of the beautiful stamps from Heartfelt Creations.

Gotta love the Roses!

Stop on over to the Heartfelt Creations Blog for more inspiration from our amazing DT.

Happy Holidays! Stay well and safe!

Heartfelt Wednesday's

Hi, Im back with this week's Heartfelt Creations design. I used something old and something new and something blue...well, teal...lol... The full instructions on how I made this 12 x 12 layout can be seen at Heartfelt Creations Blog. All the flowers and ornaments are made with paper....there are sooo many beautiful creations you can make with their Stamps and Die Cus over and over again. The best part is all you need is cardstock...it becomes really economical during these crunch times. So here is something amazing and generous from HC.

Heartfelt Creations Christmas Gift Certificate Give Away: As a thank you to all our loyal HC customers, Heartfelt Creations will be giving away 50 - $50 Dollar Gift Certificates on December 21st at 9PM EST.

I had this paper from an old Scrap That kit...it is from Pion designs. Be sure to check it out! I also had this old Bo Bunny Paper that I have been wanting to use for a while...It became a perfect match to really enhance the whole design. I used whites, creams and teals.

This is a photo of my little niece Emma. I took this photo of her this past Thanksgiving, she was already wearing her Christmas dress. I asked her "Is Santa Coming?" she said "Yes" and I took this photo...perfect timing for her adorable smile with her curly hair.

Here is a close-up of the beautiful poinsettia stamps, rose die cuts and leaf swirls from Heartfelt Creations. Love them!

These elegant flourished ornaments can be made using the NEW Black Friday Gatefold Collection, this is the "Feather Grass Flourish"

Lump of Coal Cookie Packaging

Hi, last weekend, I went to my annual cookie exchange party and I knew exactly how I was going to wrap the cookies. Martha Stewart’s Gift Coal Boxes inspired me last year and I decided to make my version to accommodate the cookies.

First, the supplies:

6 inch Cookie Tins any color…I bought mine at the dollar store.

Black Cardstock

Black Glitter Cardstock….2 sheets at Target for 99 cents

Electrical Tape

Paper Trimmer

Scissors

Fabric Starch

Glue

Ruler

Ribbon

Tags…I made mine with Cricut and Microsoft word.

Second, cut 6 strips of black cardstock 2 ½ inches wide. Two of these pieces will be to wrap around the bottom of the tin. Glue them together. I also used foil and placed my cookies inside.

Third, crumble up the 4 pieces of black cardstock and tape it down with electrical tape on the lid.

Fourth, spray black glitter paper lightly on the NON glitter side of the paper with fabric starch and wipe off excess. DON’T over spray or it will rip the paper…..I made that mistake! Lol Then, wrap on top of the lid and crunch it up a bit. It dries super fast, no need to wait and no mess!

Lastly, add ribbon and tag. That’s it! I also put the recipe on the back of the tag.

Here is another view of your Lump of Coal.

Thanks for stopping by!

Heartfelt Wednesday's

Hi

Welcome back for this week's Heartfelt Creations Reveal Day and Blog Hop!

I have had these Anna Griffin papers since last Christmas and I could never seem to figure out what to do with them? I knew I LOVED them but everytime I tried to put something together it never worked out? Finally, with the NEW Artistic Gatefold Collection from Heartfelt Creations a light bulb went off! lol The whole tutorial can be seen at Heartfelt Creations Blog. Be sure to check out all the amazing designs from the rest of the DT. This week's theme is Christmas....Perfect ideas to get either last years photos and cards or this years photos and cards out. This layout is of my daughter Erica. I wanted to make it Vintage looking so I stayed with creams and greens throughout....

I even made the font on the tag vintage....check out the flower soft on the trees!

Love making these poinsettias with the perfect stamp and die cuts EXCLUSIVELY from Heartfelt Creations.

A closer view of the amazing NEW Die Cut "Layered Elegant Swirl Die" and more snow....Love it!

Be sure to stop over at Heartfelt Creations and the Blog Hop! There will be a 25.oo gift certificate for commenting over on the HC blog and many other prizes along the way! Fun!
