Heartfelt Wednesday's

Hi, welcome back for another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday! This is more of the fabulous New collection "Western Elements" Collection. As you see between the "My Guy" collection and this New "Western Elements" the two are meant for each other...

Of course, don't forget all the other great stamps and diecuts that makes this layout complete....lots to choose from!

These photos are more of my girlfriend, Crystal, she sure is a perfect "Western Lady" and it makes it easier for me to scrap these wonderful western collections.

Here you can see the beautiful "Western Elements" stamps and with the "Rustic Western Elements" diecuts...it makes the wheel pop. I added a little brad in the center.

I love the "Daisy Patch" flowers and "Daisy Patch Dies" to make these fun yellow flowers. I added Black Gala Glitz in the center for some bling. The ferns from "Woodland Growth" are great for a little foliage...I did fussy cut them out....so it is a bit tedious...but worth the end results. The circle with the title in the background was "Layered Scalloped Posy" a super wanted item this year! The crafters cord in green is the finishing touch...so western...lol

More flowers and the "Palisade Farmstead" fence and "Rustic Western Elements" die was a must for the strip of paper that I usually like on the bottom. See the black swirls? Those are from "Bella Rose" diecut. I just LOVE swirls!

Hope you enjoyed this week's layout....it was a sketch made by Nadia Cannizo....soooo beautiful! Thank you Nadia! Be sure to stop by Heartfelt creations Blog for more beautiful designs by our DT.

Have a great day!

Heartfelt Wednesday's "Pretty In Pink"

Howdy, Welcome back to this week's Heartfelt Creations Blog post! This is another fun layout that I used with the "My Guy" Collection....except this is very girly......pink pink and more pink!

I used another photo of my girlfriend Crystal....since she is such a southwestern girl, it goes perfectly with my theme... :)

I had to buy the fabulous Martha Stewart Punch for the loops...it is a must for the western look...at least that is what I'm telling myself! lol

I wanted to add some soft doilies with all the flowers and vines. I also made my own patterned paper with the horse stamp "Western Bronco Precut Set"

Here is a close up of the beautiful "Daisy Patch" Flowers and "Daisy Die Cuts", also the tiny "Posy Patch" and "Posy Patch Die"....don't forget the amazing horse "Western Bronco" and "Western Bronco Die"

These boots are just too stinkin' cute! They are from the "Birch Tree" stamps and there is a matching Die cut in the "Western Bronco Die" The title I decided to use pink instead of my traditional browns and blacks. The stamp is really western looking and it is from " Western Bronco" I placed it all on the "Fancy Tags 3" from Spellbinders

This small little patch of grass is from "Scenery Builders" and I just added some Crafter's Cord for a rope on top.....it was a little something extra from HC that came with our stamps....they are so generous! Thanks Linda and Emma!

Just more amazing flowers! I know I have said this before.....but.....I just LOVE to make my own flowers because they always match perfectly because they are from the same paper....gotta love that!

For full instructions be sure to stop by the Heartfelt Creations Blog this week....also don't forget to vote for the new and old DT for the next term!

Have a great day!

Howdy!

Here is a card I made with the NEW "My Guy" Collection from Heartfelt Creations! Even though it is toward more of a guy theme...you can make beautiful cards and add flowers for a girl theme too! I wanted to stay with the brown tones for the western feel, but then add a pop of yellow. Daisies are perfect for a western theme. I used "Daisy Patch" diecuts from HC and just added some brads in the center for a bit of bling. For full instructions you can see it at the HC Blog.

Here is a close up shot.....I didnt stamp on the daisies, but you can use the amazing stamp from HC to go with it....here. I recently found these sheer ribbons at the dollar store too....love when you can find a deal!

For full instructions be sure to stop by the Heartfelt Creations Blog this week....also don'tforget to vote for the new and old DT for the next term!

Hi, Today I wanted to share with you another layout made for this week's Heartfelt Wednesday's.... It is from their new release.... "MY GUY" Collection. This young man is a photo that was given to me from Linda the amazing artist who makes all these beautiful stamps at Heartfelt Creations.

I layered all kinds of browns and blue jean papers to give this a true guy look. I cant believe I didnt use any flowers, ribbons, or lace! LOL

For the full instructions go to the Heartfelt Creations Blog.

I just LOVE these amazing horse stamps " Western Bronco Precut" and with the "Western Bronco"Diecut it sure makes them a snap to make!

Stars are perfect to use for this rustic, cowboy layout....easy to make the cardboard star look with kraft paper and a crimper.

Be sure to check out more fun designs with our DT at Heartfelt Creations Blog!

There are 7 new PreCut Stamp Sets and one beautiful new exclusive Spellbinders die designed for Heartfelt Creations.

Leave a comment on the HC blog by March 20 to be eligible to win the entire release valued at $141.92. The winner will be announced on March 21 on the HC Blog.

So this layout was fun to make, however, while I was making it I was thinking it might be a bit too much? My DT friends have swayed me to believe it is not....so Im trying not to be so critical to myself...lol

This is a photo of my girlfriend Crystal....she has let me use her photos in the past and when I seen the New "My Guy Collection" I knew I would make it a western girly layout using some of her amazing photos...she was honored to let me use them....and thrilled to know they might be displayed at future convention... :)

I absolutely LOVE the horse stamps and diecuts! So very detailed and super fast to make with the diecuts! You can also see the crafters cord that was given to us DT members by Linda and Emma from Heartfelt Creations....thank you ladies...your sooooo generous!
I turned the title sideways and it really is beautiful embossed...have to see it IRL....You can also see the "Fleur De Lis Motifs" I recently bought them and they are wonderful to use for anything but I really liked them for a girly western look.

OK, gotta LOVE these amazing flowers! "Flora Grande 1 & 2" and "Blossoms 3" I used them once before in pink and now in blue.... and well, I think I like them even more now....also using the diecut....perfect! Look closely, there is also grass on the border...easy to make and gives it just a bit more detail. You can also see a glimpse of the "Shadow Flowers" by Spellbinders designed by Donna Salazar. They are beautiful! You will see more of these soon!

Here is part of the "Birch Tree" stamp shown....just kind of peeking through here...

Hope you enjoyed my design....been a while since I scrapped....been nice! Don't forget to go to the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see the other projects by the DT and a chance to win this amazing "My Guy Collection"!

Cricut 360 Challenge #7

Howdy Partners!

That is our theme this week over at Cricut 360! Do you have a little Cowgirl in you? Recently, I made some cowgirl layouts with Scrap That!...you can see them here! I live in AZ and well there is lots of southwestern inspiration here...but when I seen Campin Critters cartridge, I knew I had to have it for this week's challenge....its a good reason to shop for more cricut! wink!

I used a standard 5 x 7 card in kraft paper and lined it with brown and blue jean paper. I used lots of left overs from my Scrap That kit this month...so loved it!

The "Campin Critters" desert scene was cut at 3 inches and the horse from "Country Life" (another new cartridge, lol) was cut at 2 inches. The stars are layered using George Basic Shapes...I also used my cuttlebug Swiss Dots for the cactus and medium star...I'm really happy on how this Western Card came out!

Although, my oldest daughter says "How come its not my favorite horse" lol She loves the spotted ones the most....oh well, next time!

Here is a side profile...as you know how I love those pop dots!
A closer view of this cute horse!
So come on over and play with us this week at Cricut 360!

As you can see, I added brown pearls on the DA to give it a little rustic bling! All of this can be made using the main kit...be sure to order yours!
My third layout is the beautiful papers by Bo Bunny! It has a vintage feel and I added more pieces to make it a bit on the rustic side....Again the possibilities of these papers are truly endless! Included in the kit is the burlap...loved it for this layout!
Here is a close-up of some hearts I cut from the kit's cardboard and I added the leather string that is another wonderful piece included in the kit!
