Fun and Fast Cardmaking

For this card, I'm using a fairly large image (Blomsterflicka from Carinas Freebies) as the anchor - embellished with a posy from Heartfelt Creations.  I used Photoshop with red, black, and white to tie the image together with the cardstock used from Bo Bunny.  

This card is being entered into the challenge at CCC Digi Creations - Anything Goes.

Posy Patch

Birthdays give us the opportunity to tell all the special people in our lives what they mean to us.  The Posy Patch stamp set by Heartfelt Creations makes great birthday-card embellishments.  

In Love with Dove - and Heartfelt Creations

At the last Scrapbooking Expo, I learned about Dove Blenders - I know, not a new product. Hard to believe I could be scrappin' so long without learning about these! But it is now one of my go-to tools - a must have for every scrapper who colors images.

My first project with the blenders is a graduation gift for my hair stylist. She loves western, so I used Heartfelt Creations Western Collage stamp (embellished with Heartfelt Creations Posy Patch - oh, and the paper is Heartfelt Creations Raindrops on Roses). I colored the image with my ink pads and Dove Blender. For me - a Copic amateur - this process went much faster.

Celebrate National Scrapbooking Day

National Scrapbooking Day was May 2?!?!??!?  Ooops...missed it.  LOL!  But I thought for sure it was always on a Saturday!  So here we are, with National Scrapbooking Day upon us (okay behind us) - I feel this special day should be spent in celebration of paper!  Whether you're making a scrapbook, card, or other papercraft project, I welcome you to my blog for another day with a little inspiration.  I do swear I have a limitless pile of paper that I am always attempting to dwindle - but little of my paper will find its way to a landfill before being embellished with flowers, butterflies, and glitter that transforms paper into beautiful and functional works of art and a small gift for someone special.

The Posy Patch

Hi, All!

Today I'm posting cards that all include Heartfelt Creations Posy Patch and sentiments from their Timeless Sentiments stamp set. Enjoy!

Gratitude - Day 4

Hi all! Sorry for today’s post being up so late. Since traveling most of the week, being sick on top of that, and having to work late the past couple days, it's bee a struggle catching us with stuff.  :D

Anyhow, for today's cards, I'm sharing a couple more thank-you cards.  I used a free digital sentiment from Bits of Positivity, and then finished the cards off with posies from Heartfelt Creations.

So, enjoy today's cards.  Also, watch for step-by-step instructions to make a box card using Heartfelt Creations Delicate Aster's collection this week.

Gratitude - Day 2

Is there anything more fun than using one sentiments in different ways?  I am always inspired when I find a sentiment I like and have fun combining it with scraps to come up with simple, clean cards.  Here is another card using the freebie digital sentiment from Bits of Positivity.

  

Queen of Cards - Week 5

Special thanks to Linda Moore on the Cardmaking and More Facebook Page for putting these challenges together for us! This week's challenge includes a Fancy-Fold card, Shabby Chic style, Spring themed - with three patterned papers, ribbon, dry embossing, stamped images, and 3D embellishments. Whew! Got tired just reading about it! And here is my design.  

Watch for future postings on Scraps to Treasures - Teach-Me Tuesday. I will be making a similar card and posting step-by-step instructions. This card makes great use of scraps because all the panels are so small - which brings us back to that question "What size scraps do I save?"

Layered Scraps

Just another couple cards as I continue my journey to use up my scraps.

Sketch Challenge - Operation Write Home

Today's post is my submission to Operation Write Home's Sketch Challenge #174.  Here is their sketch - and my version.
