Be Joyful

Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in EVERYTHING by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the PEACE OF GOD, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:4-7

These are verses I memorized years ago and they are written on my heart. There are times when I still need to remember not to be anxious, but I eventually listen to my heart saying these verses. I didn't really understand what the "peace of God" was until I experienced it. It's having peace inside you, even when you're going through heartbreaking situations and trials. It does "surpass ALL understanding" and you know it comes from GOD alone. Praise the Lord for His wonderful promises!


I love, love, love what I do. I am passionate about the things I create and the talents God has placed in me. I SO appreciate the time you take to look at my things and the comments you all leave me!

Blessings to you!

Blazing Poppy Layered Circle Card


Happy Wednesday!

Today Heartfelt Creations has a special produce launch - Layered Cards, Shadowboxes & Dies! These are perfect for that special wow gift! For my project this week I used one of the circle layered cards in black.





There are 4 separate pages to this card which is more like an album. I decorated the front, but you can also decorate each page with plenty of room for embellishments in-between the pages. There's about a half inch between each for layered embellishments. Here is a side view so you can see the layers better.



The designer papers and the flowers are from the Blazing Poppy Collection. The leaves are from the Peacock Paisley Collection. I used the designer papers for the base of both. Here's a little close up of the floral arrangement.

Festive Holly Christmas


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a little inspiration with Heartfelt Creations!  This week I have another Christmas card using the new Festive Holly Collection of stamps, dies and designer papers.




I used one of the card panels for the background of the card die cutting the center with a circle die.  I then added white behind the opening with a sentiment stamped on it.

The holly images were all colored with pencils and mineral spirits using paper stumps, cut with the matching dies and then popped onto the card around the opening.  Fairly simple card to make, but comes out pretty and festive.

Cardinal Berry Christmas


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for the new collection from Heartfelt Creations! This time we have a Christmas collection for you called the Festive Holly Collection!

I LOVE cardinals so of course my first card is made with one of the beautiful cardinal images from the collection!




It's hard to see in the photo, but I love how the coloring came out on the image. I added white glue and white glitter to the "snow" on the branches which looks really pretty, but it's hard to see in the photo.

The red die cut is from the Festive Holiday Die. This is actually two pieces cut and glued together. This die is beautiful and will have lots of use I'm sure.

The background mat is designer paper from the collection. This is my favorite print from the paper!

Italiana Riviera Tile Coasters


Happy Wednesday!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Forth of July yesterday! We had a great time with family and friends!

Today I have a simple gift you can make using tiles from the home improvement store and stamps and inks.






These are a set of four tiles that I simply tied ribbon around and added a tag for gift giving. Here you can see how the tile looks. I did each with the same image.




For the back of the tiles I used cork backing which you can see here.






I've made a bunch of these in the past for gifts and also made single tiles with gift packaging to sell at crafts fairs. You can see previous posts for these here and here.

I hope these give you a little inspiration for gift ideas. This image is perfect for giving to a friend for a house warming gift.

Other Products: Ink: Staz-On Jet Black, Olive Green, Royal Purple, Saddle Brown; Accessories: purple sheer ribbon, natural twine, sand paper, 4 Tumbled Marble 4" x 4" Noce Tiles (Home Depot), make up applicators, cork Con-Tact self-adhesive, Staz-On cleaner, steel ruler, cutting mat, paper towels, craft knife

Instructions: Sand rough edges of tiles, clean off dust with water, wipe dry and let dry overnight. Stamp sentiment from Italiana Riviera Set on top of each tile and Italiana Grape Cluster image on bottom using Jet Black Staz-On Ink. (Note: Apply reinker to ink pad before stamping to make sure ink pad is very juicy when stamping.) Let tiles dry overnight or heat set well with a heat gun.

Using Staz-On inks and make-up applicators, dab colors on tiles to color images. I use paper towels to dab off excess ink before applying to tile and then go back and add more color to shadows. After coloring is completed, bake tiles at 300 degrees for 20 minutes. Let tiles cool.

Cut cork sheet into 3 5/8" squares using cutting mat, metal ruler and craft knife. Adhere cork squares to backs of tiles.

Create these in a group of 4 for gift giving. Cut a piece of sheer ribbon and tie the group of tiles together.

For the tag, die cut the pre-made label from the Italiana Riviera Paper Collection using the matching die from Luggage and Tags Die Set. Ink the edges of the tag with Saddle Brown Ink and tie to ribbon with twine.

Flowering Dogwood Branch Anniversary


Happy Wednesday!

I have another clean and simple card today using the Flowering Dogwood Collection from Heartfelt Creations, this time with an anniversary card.



I love this flowing dogwood branch and thought it went perfect with the Botanic Window Die! I colored the image with pencils and mineral spirits and also did a separate small flower the same way to add to the bow. The sentiment is stamped directly on the window center. I did an anniversary sentiment, but it would be nice with a wedding sentiment also.

Birthday Petunia Border


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a little Heartfelt Creations inspiration!

This week I have a very clean and simple card using the Classic Petunia Collection.




The sentiment was stamped directly on the card base. I used a birthday sentiment, but you could use any sentiment you like.

I die cut the beautiful border using one of the Regal Borders & Pocket Dies. I love this die, definitely one of my favorites! On top of the border die I added a flower border colored with pencils and mineral spirits. The flower border is from the Large Classic Petunia Set and die cut with the matching die from the Large Classic Petunia Die.

For finishing touches, I added Clear Wink of Stella and glitter to the flowers and a few adhesive pearls to the border die cut and card base.

Petunia Birthday Cluster


Happy Wednesday!

Today I'm back with another card made using the new Classic Petunia Collection from Heartfelt Creations! Love this collection for spring cards!





This is a rather clean and simple design which I like to do sometimes. I stamped the sentiment directly on the white card base and added a little cheesecloth under the flowers to add interest. The flowers were colored with pencils and mineral spirits using paper stump. Love that these have matching dies to cut them out. Here is a little close up of the flowers for you.




I added Clear Wink of Stella and Shell White Glitter to the flowers after shaping them. I also used Prills for the flower centers.

Birthday Petunias


Happy Wednesday!

It's the second Wednesday of the month which means it's time for the release of the new Heartfelt Creations collection! This month we have the Classic Petunia Collection!

For my card I used the Classic Petunia Paper Collection for the card panel and added petunias and leaves from the Small Classic Petunia Set and a hanging plant from the Classic Petunia Bouquet Set.





I color the images with pencils and mineral spirits using paper stumps. They were added to the card panel using a combination of glue and Scotch Mounting Tape to give varying height.

Tropical Cockatoo


Happy Wednesday!

It's time for me to share a little inspiration using Heartfelt Creations stamps, dies and designer papers! This week I have another card using the new Tropical Paradise Collection! Love this collection!





I used the cockatoo image along with a plumeria flower for the focal image. These were colored with pencils and mineral spirits and popped onto an oval shape with a sentiment stamped on it. The background mat is a card panel from the matching designer papers. I liked the way the oval shaped looked with the flowers in each corner.
