Red Hot Valentine!

Hi, So if you may have noticed I'm on the Valentine Day Card streak....? Well, here is a card I whipped together last night...It was super fast and came out how I imagined too...

I wanted to use up the left over bling from my Cozy Winter Wishes Card and I also wanted to use some of the red stripped ribbon that I bought for Christmas. Here is the finished card....

It is a 5 x 6 inch card....I think I'm really loving that size lately because it fits really nicely in an envelope to mail. Sorry you cant see the embossing better....AZ light being funny on me....

Another angle and I used some of my old neglected tiny prima roses....I'm glad they were the perfect red to match the darker red paper.... :)

So this was an easy card to make and took under an hour....it is great for your valentine this year.... :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Heartfelt Wednesday's

Good Morning,

So Lately I've been on this Pink and Cream kind-of streak?? This is another old photo of Roxy and using lots and lots of products from Heartfelt Creations! 15 of them to be exact...lol I really love how this layout came out....so springy and yet soft. I even added touches of grey...plus it did match the background in the photo. I wish the camera could capture the true beauty of this layout....be sure to look for at this 2012 conventions.

For complete instructions on how I made this 12 x 12 layout go to Heartfelt Creations Blog. There will also be a the products that I used from their amazing Stamps and Exclusive Die Cuts.

Here are a few close-ups:

Such gorgeous stamps to make custom matching colored flowers.

I used two different fonts to make the title...I thought it made it pop a bit more.

Love the little birdie....I will admit you really have to be careful while fussy cutting the vines because it is so small....but worth the end result...

Many ladies have asked me in the past about my daughter Roxy's skin...Yes it is that flawless and Yes that is a true Beauty Mark....lucky girl....

Thanks for stopping by....also don't forget to check out this week's inspiration at Heartfelt Creations Blog.

More Chocolate Please!

Hi, so last night I wanted to use more of the scraps that I had from the first chocolate card that I recently made. Of course, I do love chocolate too and when I was trying to get ideas out there in the scrapbooking and card world...I really didn't see anything that really caught my eye....?

So I started to look at cakes and such, when I seen this amazing chocolate cake photograph! It had chocolate cake layers with cream filling, then it was topped with luxurious chocolate drippings and pink roses....It truly was a beautiful piece of cake, which became my color theme for this card. As I was putting it together, I remembered a verve sketch that I seen recently from last year...it also became incorporated into the perfect chocolate card. Like it was meant to be....

I was trying to think of how I was going to make the drippings....then it reminded me that I had the MS drippings punch...omgosh! I cant believe I forgot???? too many things in my room sometimes...but I love them all! The beautiful scroll is from Heartfelt Creations NEW Chateau Gate Collection....I love the delicate details of this new diecut. As you can see, more roses from Donna Salazar too...I honestly can not stop making these roses.....lol

Hope you enjoyed some yummy chocolate again!

Cozy Winter Wishes Card

Hi, so like im on this card craze....and well, this card colors was inspired by my sister who said a winter storm was coming through chicago recently...brrrr....i live in az...and if we have to were a jacket outside it is already too cold! lol...but seriously, i remember those cold winter days and that is the colors that i chose for this card....creams and whites...

the basic sketch is from my new favorie place verve....but i of course had to add much more to the original sketch.... :)

My daughter gave me tip tonight on how to make the card lighter on photoshop....can you believe it is kind of dark and gloomy here today in az? well, unfortunately that means it will be colder in the midwest and east coasts....sorry.... :(

hope you enjoyed my winter card....brrrr....

Love Pink Valentine Card

Good Morning,

Yesterday, I was on this Valentine's Day mode and here is another card I made last night. It is such a PINKY card...lol...as some of you know Im not too fond of pink...but yet I have been on a pink streak? I have had this gold paper for quite some time now and it was perfect for the theme because there is gold on the patterned paper by Martha Stewart. Lots of layer here....it started off as a new verve sketch and then too a bit of a twist....love their sketches...makes it easier for me to make something quicker than normal for me.

I tried to really get the right lighting this morning so you can see how the gold really shines...

Also more handmade roses.....and I love the swirls from Heartfelt Creations....hope they get more soon...I cant stop using them! lol

See you soon....

Chocolate Card

Hello ladies,

I hope your having a great Saturday! This morning I was thinking about making a Valentine's Day card and immediately I think of CHOCOLATE! lol

I just love chocolate and I wanted to make a card that look like you could eat it. So it is mostly browns and a touch of red. Hershey is my favorite chocolate but Godiva chocolates uses lots of red ribbons with their boxes, so this is how I came up with the color base.

It is a 5x6 standing card, I used some Heartfelt Creations diecuts, spellbinders diecuts, and Donna Salazar rose diecuts, (I cant seem to stop making roses now?) lol

The white rose is prima....my poor pre-made flowers have been neglected lately....

Here is the side view.....easy card to make and it literally took under an hour! that is super fast for me! lol
This sketch was inspired by verve stamps. I added lots of extra goodies to the base of the card.

First time using a card sketch...i will be using many more...they are soooo amazing!

Heartfelt Thanks #2

Hi, Im back today to share another funky folded card by Cheryl. I totally love the look of this card. I made this card for a friend of mine last night. She was having a bad day and I thought it might cheer her up...it did...:)

She LOVES PINK! So I wanted to make it the base of the card color. I made the intricate circle using the NEW chateau gate collection by Heartfelt Creations. Really simple to do with those amazing die cuts. I also used flower stamps from HC. You can never stop matching all of your papers again by using them....thank HC....

The punched leaves are from Punch Bunch. I love those tiny vines. I also added hearts and embossed the light pink background....no patterned paper here....perfect to make last minute.

Here is a side view of that cool card!

Heartfelt Wednesday's

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year! This year was a sad Christmas for us because we lost a family member right before the Christmas weekend.....

So I didn't have anything up last Wednesday...sorry to my followers looking for inspiration from me that week. However, I was able to make this card and it was made thinking of God and how we should all "Love One Another" all the time. The card itself is a funky folded card by Cheryl. It came be seen here. So super easy to make and it is a great size to send too. Vintage colors and papers are so in and I think this fell right into that category. The lighting makes it look more white but really it is cream with distressing inks. For the full tutorial go to Heartfelt Creation Blog this week.

Here is the side view of the funky card...thx Cheryl!

Be sure to stop over at HC Blog for more inspiration, and sneak peeks to our new and upcoming stamps!

Heartfelt Thanks Card

Hi,

Tonight I made this card that was scraplifted from the amazing and talented card maker Kittie. Her blog can be found here. I am so inspired by all of her amazing cards. This is just one of them...hers is much more beautiful....but I sure tried! lol

I used Donna Salazar, Punch Bunch, and Heartfelt Creations Die Cuts throughout....

I made this card for a dear friend, who recently gave me something and didnt ask for anything in return. So hard to find such heartwarming and generous God giving friends....so I sure feel lucky to know her....thanks sweetie!

With more flowers...after I remembered I had a tiny flower punch...lol

Original card....I like them both...but adding more flowers made it really flourish

Here is one of the side views.

Here is the other side view....I also added a tag made with my cricut and printed the "Heartfelt Thanks" on it.

Thanks for stopping by!
