Wow it has been a busy week for my first week of summer break from teaching so Heather and I needed a quick and easy spread so we grabbed our Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Collection and all of the stamps that correspond to them and made this Wedding Spread. I admit to this not taking all day because sometimes we all have weeks like this one where it is difficult to do much of anything. If this is the case for you than these sets are perfect because you don’t have to think too much about whether or not your paper and everything else will match you just have to basically put it all together. When Heather and I pulled out this paper we both thought that we needed some wedding pictures for it because it is so elegant. lastly we added some ribbon from American Crafts and just like that it was finished.

Hope this helps when you are in a pinch for time. These heartfelt Creations packets are very helpful and make such cute pages is very little time.

If you are like me, you have tons of flowers, pastels, and frilly, girly products to work with, but what about Father’s Day cardmaking products? Do you scramble through all of your supplies to find something “manly” enough to put together a card for you dad, husband or grandfather? If you are tired of doing this, then we can help!

Father’s Day is in a week and a half, so you will want to act NOW! We have a variety of manly products that will enable you to make great masculine cards for any occasion! You can find these items by clicking HERE or going to the Father’s Day Theme.

No matter what type of guy your special man is, I’m sure you can find something that will fit his personality whether is is embossing folders, stamps, dies or paper. Take a look at some of the things I found that will fit my dad. He can fix just about anything, so he is mechanically inclined. He was in the navy. He wears plaid shirts a lot and he loves crossword puzzles and being outdoors!

I found products from Sizzix, Heartfelt Creations, Spellbinders, Authentique, Quickutz and JustRite Stampers, but there are a lot more than this!

Have fun shopping for those special items that will help you make your dad that special heartfelt card!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Heather and I just got a sampler of markers from American Crafts and we both wanted to play around them so we both did some cardmaking and here is what we got in the end. on mine, I used  Hero Arts Tag Collection for the most part for the stamps and used the markers to add the color, The markers were very smooth and had great transition colors so you can get the look of shadows. I also love this tag set because it has everything to finish a card, I made the flower separate from the card and added foam stickers to the back so there was a shadow edge around it.

Heathers used the Heartfelt Creations Sun kissed Fleur background set for her Thinking of You card. I think she did a great job with the markers as this was really her first time using markers with things like this.

These markers are so much fun and are so easy to use so give them a try.

Father’s Day is just around the corner and I know you’re wanting to get that special man something wonderful. This is where the Heartfelt Creations Sweet Serenity Collection comes into play. Yes, at first glance, this paper does NOT look masculine in any way, shape, or form, but I promise that you can make it manly with a twist of fancy…ahem…dare I say fancy and manly in the same sentence? You betcha!

I don’t know about you, but my Father is IMPOSSIBLE to shop for. I think I may have mentioned this on more than one occasion. Impossible. Since I will be in the middle of moving and unloading boxes in my new Texas home, I wanted something easy to send to him that I know he can get what he wants. What does that mean? Yes, you’re right. A giftcard. Gift cards are a little impersonal, so let’s get this decorative holder going to show that you really do think of him and spend time on his gifts (although you don’t have to spend hours). Start with your QuicKuts Pocket Envelope, make it snazzy, and walah! Father’s Day complete.

Also in this beautiful collection comes the Vintage floret stamp, which I couldn’t pass up in making a card. This is just incredibly gorgeous and so fun to make. It looks like you’ve spent a ton of time, but really haven’t because the product does all the work for you. I like to color in the details on stamps like these to give it more color and dimension. I used a fine tip marker to make the flowers pop and draw more attention to the center. Also a great Father’s Day card idea!

Heather and I love making these cards that could really fit any occasion in case we need a last minute card or even if there isn’t really any occasion and we just want to say hi to cheer someones day up. What is so cool about this card is that if you have the Decorative Blossom Corner from Spellbinders and the Remember Your Kindness stamp set from Hero Arts, you could follow this same design and make so many different cards with each one being unique. I have said this before but I love these 6×6 paper stacks from Bo Bunny because if you are card making you don’t have to go looking through all of your paper just to find paper that matches, all that work is done for you because you really can go through and choose any paper and you know that it is going to go well together–Simple! Really this card looks way more complicated that it really is, just grab some card stock and fold it for the card. Next, cut the Decorative Blossom Corner out of any corner and place a decorative paper behind it. Lastly add some designs on top with a saying that you stamp.

Who doesn’t want a Authentique Thank You card?  Not only do I love using Authentique paper but I love using Spellbinders dies as well.  I could’nt resist using Spellbinders Les Papillions Die for this Thank you card and Heartfelt Creations has a beautiful stamp collection so of course I couldn’t resist that either.  I always use card stock for the base for my cards.  I then used Authentiques 6×6 paper called Renew on the top.  This paper is double sided so it all blends together really well.  I used Hero Hues Chalk Ink to ink around all my corners of my card and I also used some Scor-Tape to secure my paper and string to the front of my card.  After cutting out my die cuts I used some pop up stickers on the back of my butterflies and taped them down around the string.  And of course I used Want2Scrap bling on my butterflies and on one of the corners of the card.  This card is so fun to make and I know it will let anyone know that you appreciate all they have and all that they are to you.

I am practically giddy today for the Heartfelt Creations Balmy Breeze Collection release because this collection is right up my ally! Even though I live in a desert state, I love the ocean! I love scuba diving, and walking along sandy beaches, sunsets over the water and the sound of breaking waves. Ahhh…. so relaxing.

Everyone likes getting something in the mail box, so I made this “A Note For You” A2 card for someone I know who could use a special note. I totally love the blue and brown color combo in the Authentique Hope 6×6 paper pad, not to mention the elegant patterns!

Hope includes twenty-six doublesided sheets of reduced designs with two solids. The Hope collection is in an elegant color palette suited to the splendor of the Easter holiday printed on a special textured finish akin to the weave of an Easter basket. The feelings of renewal with a nostalgic design pattern stir up emotions of hope. Reminiscent of Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit and other classic icons, the patterns are also suitable for any spring celebration. The Hope collection is well-rounded and useful for all age ranges and projects. Also comes in an 8×8 paper pad and a 12×12 collection kit.

The patterns I chose gave this card a vintage look and a little inking around the edge gave it an aged feel. Perfect!

By now you should all know that I am all for fast and easy, but I want my finished product to look good, and with the right tools, that can easily be achieved!

Here are the list of tools I used to create this card in just a short time (while sick and on the phone with my traveling hubby at the same time!).

I love the Hero Arts ink pads and how the image fills in while the ink dries! They are really nice to use. You can see their awesome selection HERE!

I would just like to tell all of you who call in and tell me about your latest projects, that you inspire me! You help me stay motivated and give me lots of ideas. Even though I can’t really see what you are doing, I develop a mental picture, which inspires me to create my own version! I love hearing what you are planning with the products you purchase! I hope our designers inspire you as well in our blog posts!

I usually like to create two page layouts to keep my scrapbooks uniform, but this time I decided to put my photos on one Horsin’ Around 12×12 scrapbook page instead of spread them over two pages, since I only had 3 photos of this occasion. As you can see, my grand kids love riding the rocking horse. They love that it actually whinnies and makes a clip-clop sound while they ride. They even know which ear to press when it stops.  I hope they don’t think they can do that with a real horse, ’cause I don’t think a real one would like his ear pinched!

Okay, so I actually used my scissors to fussy cut out some of my details out of my DCWV Bouquet De Fleur pattern paper! Can you believe it? I actually saw something similar done on one of the blogs I follow and I really liked it, so I thought I’d give it a try.

Now the horses were a different story. I totally cut them out by making a template first, then putting the template and die over the stamped image and ran them through my Big Shot! SOOOOO much easier than scissors!

Die Cuts With A View has come out with some extremely fun new paper lines! I know, it is super hard to choose which one you want, but I had my eye on the Blue Citrus pack and, let me tell ya, it’s gorgeous! I have so many fun projects that I want to use this paper for, but a treat box quickly ran to the top of my list. I am a piano teacher and had a huge wicker basket loaded with treats for my students. After a couple of years, I have gotten really sick of how huge it is and that it’s always full of stuff other than treats. So, I got what I think is a brilliant idea to make a darling treat box.

First, I just grabbed the only box I thought might work. It was way too tall for what I had in mind, so I cut it down to a 4 inch height. Then, all I did was size my paper and Mod Podge it to the box. I had a friend sitting with me and she suggests that an adhesive spray would be faster too if you’d like to try that out.

Next, I used my QuicKutz Sunrise Doily and Heartfelt Creations Vintage Floret dies to embellish the box. Oh, and the adorable Eyelet Circle Punches are a new fav! I love a die that gives you several pieces by one run through your machine! Seriously, they are so cute! I just glued them to my box and put the treats inside. I love that it’s cute. I love that it’s small. And I love, love, love the Blue Citrus!

Looking around at all the snow on the ground and then I see a bird in the tree and I think, You Are The Song In My Heart.  Oh how I can’t wait for spring and the beautiful colors of the flowers to bloom.  That single bird put me in the mood to make a card and hopefully it will brighten someone elses day.  I always start my cards with a 5 1/2x 8 1/2 size paper and then I fold that sheet in half.  I took my Distress Ink and inked all the edges to my card.  I choose some paper from Bo Bunny and then used Heartfelt Creations stamp and stamped the lower left corner of my card.  I did this first so that I was sure my stamp would fit on my card before I added all my Die Cuts.  I then used Spellbinders, Double Delight die and first embossed, then cut, to cut out the embossed die cut. And then used the rest of the die’s for all my die cuts.  This set is one of my favorites!!  I then used scor tape to add some string to my card and some Want2Scrap adhesive pearls to finish off my card.
