 For my card today, I began with a 5 x 7 white card stock base to which I added panels from the newly released Cherry Blossom Retreat paper collection.  Using the pre-printed birds and leaves from the paper collection, I die cut them using the matching Tweet Cherry Blossoms die set.  I also added the sentiment tag from the paper collection.   I love mixing and matching the panels and papers in the collections.  It makes it so easy to whip up a beautiful card in no time.

Good luck and thanks for stopping by.

 For my card today, I began with a 5 x 7 white card stock base to which I added this beautiful Thinking of You panel from the newly released Burst of Spring Paper Collection.  Using the dies from the Cheery Pansy Die set, I die cut some of the smaller flowers and leaves also from the paper collection.  No need to color, they are all ready to go!   I used the fabulous new 3D Pansy Shaping Mold to give my petals and leaves some dimension.  After arranging them on the card front, I added some flower soft to the flower centers.  An elegant and easily created card.

Good luck with the hop and thanks for stopping by.

For my card today, I began with a 5 x 7 card base white card stock base that I cut out with the largest die from the Eyelet Rectangle & Basics die set.  Using the next die down, I cut a background paper from the Festive Holly Collection and added it to the base.  I die cut the deer scene panel as well as the Eyelet frame using the same set of dies.  I stamped the Wagon Wheel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then die cut both it and the Decorative Arch from the coordinating Festive Holiday die set.  I used a Copic marker to add some color to the scallops on the Eyelet Frame as well as the Decorative Arch.  I colored the Wagon Wheel with my Copics and then used Double Dots to mount it to the card.  Lastly, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink I added the Thinking of You sentiment from the Soar on Eagle's Wings Cling Stamp set.

For my card today, I began with a 5 x 7 white card stock base.  I chose 3 patterned papers from the Winter's Eve Collection and die cut them using the gorgeous Intricate Swirl Frames die set.  The Thank You is from the Butterfly Kisses Decorative Die set, I used white card stock for that.  I stamped Blossoming Coneflowers onto white card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and die cut with the coordinating Blossoming Coneflower dies.   I colored them with Copic markers and then arranged them on the layered frames.  I used spray adhesive on this card which is perfect for the intricate dies.  Another beautiful flat card!

For my card today, I began with a 5 x 7 inch white card stock base to which I added a patterned paper panel from the Winter's Eve Paper Collection.  I also centered a smaller panel with the cardinal and sled scene from the same paper pack.  Next I die cut the Eyelet Lace Frames, all three pieces using white card stock.  I colored the smaller lace frame with a Copic marker to match the background paper.   I stamped the sentiment from the Winter's Eve Cling Stamp set with Memento Rhubarb Stalk Dye ink.  The last step was to stamp and die cut the Festive Holly and Cardinals and color them with Copic markers.  This card has lots of dimension for being a flat card.

Thanks for visiting and good luck with the blog hop.

For my card today, I began with a 6' x 6" white card stock base to which I added several panels of gorgeous paper from the Buttons and Blooms Paper collection, including the Happy Birthday sentiment.  I stamped an assortment of flowers and die cut them using the Buttons and Blooms Cling Stamps and matching Die set.  I also stamped and die cut some leaves from the Classic Rose Vine Cling set  and dies and the Classic Rose Cling set and dies.    I colored them with Copic markers and then used my Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit to give both the flowers and leaves some dimension.  I die cut one of the pockets from the paper collection using my Patchwork Pocket and Patterns die set.  When I adhered the pocket to the card base, I arched the center of the pocket so I could slide a tag inside which I cut from the paper collection using the Ornamental Tags die set.  You could also add a gift card if you wished.  After adding the flowers and leaves, I added some Glossy Accents to the button centers of the flowers.  

Thanks for visiting and good luck with the blog hop.

For my card today, I began with a 6 x 6 white card base and added this beautiful paper from the Festive Holly collection.  Create a small border centered horizontally on the card.  Add the Believe in the Magic panel backed with white card stock.  Also add the small Christmas Blessings panel, again backed with white card stock.  Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, stamp and die cut the holly pieces from the Festive Holly and Cardinals Cling Stamp Set and coordinating Die Set.   Color with Prismacolor pencils and add snow accents with a Marvy Snow Marker.  Adhere to the card with dimensional foam.

Heartfelt Creations Tropical Three

One of the great things about Heartfelt Creations collections is how easy it is to make a stunning card in very little time using only the paper collection.  Here are three cards I created using only the Tropical Paradise Paper Collection.  Simply choose a panel you like and trim the outer edge off.  Then mix and match the papers until you find a combination you like.  Create a 6" x 6" card base and add a background DP.  Back your trimmed panel with card stock and pop it up on the card base.  For this type card, I like to use two layers of chipboard rather than dimensional foam.  It gives a firmer platform for the panel and a more professional look.  Trim out a matching sentiment from the paper pack, back it with card stock and chipboard and mount that to the card as well.  You can glitz them up with glitter if you choose but I think they are stunning as is.

Heartfelt Creations Tropical Paradise

If you like to color, I have a fun card for you today using the newly release Heartfelt Creations Tropical Paradise collection.  Begin with a 6" x 6" red card stock base.  Add the DP with the tropical wreath on it.  Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and Curious Cryogen card stock, stamp the Toucan and then cut out with the coordinating die.  Color with Copics and then dry emboss on the back to give the image a bit of dimension.  Add to the center of the wreath with dimensional foam.  Using the coordinating die, cut out a ticket sentiment and add to the corner.  Beautiful and so much fun to color!

Today is new release day for Heartfelt Creations and they have a fun new collection called Tropical Paradise.  For this card, begin with a 6" pink card stock base, adding a DP background.  Find the narrow Plumeria panel, back with pink card stock and center on the card.  Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and Cryogen Metallic card stock, stamp both Flamingos as well as two leaf accents then cut out with the coordinating dies.  Color with Copic markers.  Using white dye ink, stamp an assortment of plumeria petals onto vellum and heat emboss with Diamonds and Pearls embossing powder.  Cut out with the coordinating dies.  Add color to the back of the petals with a dauber and Memento Lilac Posies ink.  Using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit, curl each of the petals and then assemble the flowers.  Adhere to the card as shown in the photo adding the leaf accents up each side.  Add some Heart of Gold Prills to the flower centers with Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.
