Tender Moments New Baby Card

 Thanks to the hot weather I have been able to find time to do some crafting.  Our new neighbors had a beautiful baby girl last week.  I decided to make them a baby card using Heartfelt Creations Tender Moments collection.  I haven't used this in awhile and I forgot how cute this collection is.  I am so disappointed that they are closing their store.  I'm glad I have a few of their collections.

I used the DSP/dies to cut out everything.  I die cut extra little animals in white CS so they would stand out better and then popped them up in the balloon basket for dimension.  I also popped up the little sign as well.  I was so happy how the card turned out!

For the inside. I die cut the adorable elephant just for fun!  

Their DSP has so many extras.  I die cut a little bear to use as a stamp!

At Christmas I got the Spellbinders wax seal set and have had a great time playing with it.  It is definitely addictive!

Right now the only seal I have says "For You" but I see more in my future!  I put a pink one on the envelope.  I made a whole bunch of them for another project I'm working on.  I also got some of the tiny circles that you adhere on them and they are all ready to go when you need one.  

I had so much fun making this card.  When we dropped it off with a little gift we got to see the baby who is so cute!  It is so nice to have a little one growing up in the neighborhood again!

Heartfelt Creations Birthday Card

 In the midst of making some Thanksgiving cards, I made this card for my friend's birthday.  I used some of my Heartfelt Creations dies - Elegant Pocket, Diamond Basic and Lacy Diamond.  Their dies never cease to amaze me.  The base card was also made from one of them as well.  

I was so happy with how this card turned out.  I used the Tweet Cherry Blossoms stamp set and dies for my flowers.  This is one of my favorite sets from Heartfelt.  

We had a busy weekend.  Jennifer went rock climbing.  I get dizzy just looking up but she absolutely loved it!  I don't know how high it is but she went right to the top!

Saturday was our 56th Wedding Anniversary.  Ask me where the time has gone!  I feel like it was just yesterday that we got married.  We all went out to dinner and had a great time.  My daughter posted these pictures on Facebook.

Looking at them we wondered who are those people!  Jennifer was looking at our wedding album and said - Nanny you and Poppy look so skinny!!  Out off the mouths of babes! LOL!!

Treasure Heart Gift Box

 I hope everyone is having a great week!  The weather here in PA has been so nice and the weekend looks like it is going to be nice as well!  I wanted to make something to put some goodies in for my daughter's along with the cards that I had made them for Mother's Day.  I decided to make this cute little box from a die called Treasured Heart Gift Box from Heartfelt Creations.  The little flaps open up on the top.

I made the butterfly one for my daughter Jeannie as she loves butterflies.  I used the larger flower from the Cherry Blossoms Collection from Heartfelt Creations using Pretty and Pink ink.

This next one I made for my daughter Margaret using the same flower but making it in Real Red.

I loved how they turned out.  I am definitely going to be making more of them.  Heartfelt Creations just released their new collection for this month - Butterflies!!  I can hardly wait till I get mine!  I can see lots of butterflies in my future!

Here is a picture of Rachel and Margaret at the ceramic place on Mother's Day.  Unfortunately, Sarah had to work.

Here is a picture of the crew.  We had such a good time.  We had to leave our items to be fired.  I can hardly wait to see how they turned out.  We had breakfast first and it was nice to be out and about.  It looks like masks might be a thing of the past.  Let's hope so!!

Mother's Day Cards

 I decided to use one of my favorite dies from Heartfelt Creations - the 5x7  Decorative Frames - to make some Mother's Day cards.  I simply love how these dies fit so great together to make a card.

It was hard to fit them all in one picture.  I decided to make them in different colors and use the Heartfelt Creations Cherry Blossom Collection for my flowers.  

This one I made in Old Olive.

The next one I made in Pretty and Pink.

This was my favorite one that I made in Highland Heather.

The last one I made in Melon Mambo.

For my inside, I used an oval scallop to write on.  It's hard to see but I put some glitter on the flowers.  The weather is very cold here with rain scheduled off and on for the next few days.  All the girls are meeting for breakfast tomorrow.  I would rather go out for breakfast than dinner so I'm a happy camper.  Since we all like to do ceramics we are then going to a local place to have some fun!  I hope everyone has a great weekend celebrating with family and friends!

Rachel's Birthday Card

 Well, here I am making Rachel's 21st birthday card - now this is hard to believe!!  It seems like yesterday we were rushing to the hospital to see her being born!  No matter how old she is she loves her sweets, so I decided to make her card with the Sugarspun Collection from Heartfelt Creations.  I have used this set on numerous occasions and love how it all comes together.

I made a 6" x 6" base card and layered it with some of the collection's DSP.  Then I used their Petite Pockets Accents and Eyelets Oval dies and embossed the smaller oval with my Swiss Dots folder.  I used some of the other stamps and dies in the collection and colored them in with Zig markers.  I sprinkled some glitter on the sweets and added some prills for decoration on the cupcake.  I even die cut the cute little tag from the collection as well.

I used some more DSP from the collection for my inside layer.  I love how everything matches.  I was really happy how it turned out!  We woke up this AM with a dusting of snow!!  This weather is crazy!  It is suppose to warm up next week thank goodness!  Have a great weekend!

Sarah's Birthday Card

 It seems like everything comes in bunches.  I have a few projects on the back burner but, I can't seem to get back to them.  I have a bunch of birthdays coming up so everything stops so I can get their cards made.  Then on top of this there are Easter cards and goodies to be made and we go on and on!  Well, the first card I made is for  Sarah's birthday.  Talk about where does time go - she will be 19 years old!  That seems impossible!  I decided to make her a more grown up card this year.  Of course, I went to my Heartfelt Creations stash and came up with this card.

I used the Burst of Spring collection.  Why?  Because it has pansies in it!  This card came together really quick.  I used some 12"x12" white CS and cut it down to a 6"x6" base card.  My first layer is some purple CS I had in my stash and the next layer is from their DSP collection.  I used their Petite Pocket Accent die to cut out another piece of purple CS and the two decorative pieces of that die on white CS and used some foam tape to pop it up.

This is the first time I used some ribbon behind my flowers.  It is a sheer purple ribbon and hard to see.  The next time I will make my bows bigger so they will stand out more.  My pansies and leaves are from the same collection and I used gold prills for the center.   Even the little tag was included in the collection.  I also decided to add some gems at the last minute.

 

For my inside paper, I used a 6"x6" panel from the DSP collection.  I love how everything goes so well together.  Well, one card down and a few more to go.  Believe it or not it is snowing here tonight.  We are not suppose to get any accumulation but it is nasty and cold again!  I was so happy yesterday as I saw some ore robins!!  I think that is a good sign.

Thinking of You Card

I needed another Thinking of you card and even though Christmas is over, I decided to use Heartfelt Creation's Snowy Pines Collection that I used for most of my Christmas cards!  I just love this collection - especially their DSP.  For this card, I used their Rounded Window Frame Dies, Eyelet Circle and Basic Small Die and Fanci-Fold Pocket & Accents Die. 

I used SU's stamp set Beautiful Day for my sentiment and the flowers I made with Heartfelt Creations Poinsettia stamp set and die.  I always use SU's Real Red to color my poinsettias - I love that color!  The leaves were stamped and colored with SU's Old Olive with their Leafy Accents Collection.  I used some gold prills for the centers.  I was so happy with the results.

Jennifer went back to school Monday and this is Daisy as she left in the morning!

And, this is Daisy when she came home!

It was a long day for both of them! Thanks for stopping by today!

Thinking of You Card

 I had some left over sunflowers I had made, so I decided to make a Thinking of You Card.  I'm trying to replenish my stash.  I love making these flowers.  They are from Heartfelt Creations Sunflower stamp and die set.  I also used their Decorative Circle Frames Die and the Leafy Accents stamp and Die.

 I used their Luxe Gold CS which is absolutely beautiful.  It cuts like butter with their dies.  For my sentiment, I used SU's Treat Time stamp set and their old Olive ink.  I left the inside blank for the time being so I can use this card for various occasions.  

Jennifer is back doing school remotely.  My daughter sent this cute picture of her and Daisy this morning!  These two are inseparable!  Have a great week!

Sunflower Birthday Card

 Today's post is a birthday card that I  made for a friend.  I used the 6"x6" Interlocking card base from Heartfelt Creations.  One thing I like about Heartfelt Creations is that it has help expand the different types of cards that I make.  I usually make a standard A2 type card, but Heartfelt Creations has so many different types of card bases and shapes that I really have enjoyed the challenge.  I also love the many types of dies that they carry.  For this card, I used their Rounded Scallop Window, Rounded Lattice Window, Rounded Sunlight Window, Tickets & Tags and the Window Hinges Dies.  

The DSP I used came from their Window Scenes Collection and the flowers from their Sunflowers Collection.  I also used a magnet for the hinge closure.  

This is a picture of the inside of the card.  It was kind of hard to photograph with the rounded edges.  I really like how this card turned out.  I loved making the sunflowers.  The birthday sentiment came from SU's Avanti Garden using Pumpkin Pie ink.  I'm trying to work on making some Thanksgiving cards.  We'll see if I make them in time for this year or next!!

Tender Moments Card

 Here is another card that I just finished to send to Jennifer this week!  We were over to see her yesterday and had a great time.  I always like to send her a card when I don't see her on the weekend.  I made this card from the Tender Moments Collection from Heartfelt Creations.  I purchased this collection as I have plans to use it to make an album of Jennifer's baby pictures, but the little creatures are so adorable I decided to use my favorite one on this card - the elephant!  My base card was made in their Deluxe White Flower Shaping paper layered with some DSP paper I had in my stash.  There are three dies cut out in white layered together.  

I used their Decorative Frame dies for this card and for the sentiments I used SU's Harvest Hellos and Beautiful Day.  I also used some left over pansies I had in my stash and the leaves were made with Heartfelt Creation's Leafy Accents stamp and die.  

Here is a picture of the inside sentiment.

Jennifer took these pretty pictures of a Monarch butterfly in her yard.  We used to have a lot of these but this is the first one I saw this year.

Jennifer and Jeannie went to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday to get a pumpkin for Halloween.  This first picture is Jennifer firing apples at an old truck.  She was pretty good at it.

Here is Jennifer in the corn field.

And the last picture is Jennifer with her Mom.  They had a great time!

It is suppose to warm up some this week which is fine with me.  We still have some plants to bring inside.  I'm sure the first frost will be here soon!

Christmas Glimmer Card

 I hope everyone had a great weekend!  I got to spend some time in my craft room and finally finished another Christmas card!  The weather here has been so nice it is hard to stay inside.  I used Heartfelt Creations Snowy Pines Collection again for this card along with some of their Decorative Royale Square & Circle Dies.  It is a 6"x 6" shutter fold card.  I really like this type of card.

I made this card which was in their gallery for inspiration.  After I stamped, colored and die cut the pine cone I used some 3D Lacquer on it with some crystal glitter.  I also added some large red stamens.

This is the inside of the card.  The DSP is from the collection as well along with the sentiments.

My daughter sent me this picture of Daisy waiting patiently for Jennifer to come home from school  Friday.

Snowy Pine Cabin Christmas Card

 I'm back with another Christmas card using the Snowy Pine Collection from Heartfelt Creations.  This time I used the cabin and wreath stamp and dies.  It is the first time I used my Zig Markers.  I definitely need more practice, but I liked how it turned out.  

I used their Rounded Window Frame die with their Luxe Gold CS.  Their dies are so wonderful and they cut right through this CS which is great.  The little hearts are from their Treasured Heart Box die.

I used their Dries White Glue for the snow and added some glitter.  I love the little birds in the wreath.

Here is the inside of the cards.  I used some of DSP from this collection and the sentiment is from SU's Season Like Christmas.

Joe and I ended up watching Daisy again this past week as they went to Niagara Falls for a few days and Rachel went with them.  They had a nice time.  They had to stay on the US side as Canada is not allowing anyone in.

 Here is a picture of them when they first arrived.  The hotel was right by the falls.

Here is a picture of Jennifer and her lamb which went with her of course!

This picture is of her waiting to get on the - Maid of the Mist - boat tour.

Jennifer said she got pretty wet!

Here is a night shot of Jennifer and Rachel.  They loved looking at the falls all done in color!

Here is Mom and Jennifer the last night by the falls.  Joe and I have visited the falls twice.  Both times we were on the Canadian side. Well, school starts for Jennifer on Wed.  She is supposed to have 1/2 days for the first two weeks, so we will see what happens.  She is so excited to see her friends again.  She really hasn't played with any kids her own age since March when they shut everything down.  It is hard to believe that she will be starting 2nd grade.  These kids have been through a lot and I hope this year will be better for them.
