A Valentines card for my Sweetie using Heartfelt Creations new “gateway” dies, a few blossom, and swans from their Calla Lily paper collection. I added a bit of glitter to the swans on the front, probably overdid it!
Here are the close ups:
Probably too much glitter on the front swans, and it is very red, but I hope you like it!
Today is the anniversary of my fathers death 4 years ago. It’s still hard on all of us, despite our getting to keep him for 80 years. I made this little card for my mom, who lives 12 hours away from me, alone with her 2 cats, and German Shepherd.
I used Mintay’s “Dreamer” paper, and dressed it up with some flowers I created this morning, the “Roses” are just made using an old Martha Stewart punch, the little tiny lavender flowers from a generic punch as well, and the leaves are from a G45 die. The silver oval is an Heartfelt Creations die cut that I trimmed a little bit to show more of the pretty paper.
If you prop it just so, it is an easel card as well. I hope you like it!
Using a mix of papers from Heartfelt Creations, I’ve created a very special card, for a very special someone. This card has tags, and room for a Special photo, (or two) as well!
These little birdies are just so stinkin’ cute!! Also I’m in love with all the decorative Lacey dies, and you can see I incorporated several in this card. Here is a little video for you to see.
Just a couple of designs, mixing it up, and trying for the Shabby chic look.
I used several doily type die cuts, gossamer ribbon, and Vellum flowers on one of them, the other has a standard paper flowers in the center and vellum for the others, all handmade, using the Heartfelt Creations dies, of course!
I even used vellum for the butterflies!
Paper is some Tim Holz I found at Tuesday Morning, it’s about 5”x 8” and has a fabric feel to it – very interesting and fun to work with.
Heartfelt Creations came out with some beautiful and ornate dies at Thanksgiving last year, they are called “Gateway” dies.
Using two different selections, paper from my stash, and previously made Asters, I played around a little bit this morning.
No ribbons on this card. The blossom are made from wired “posies” that you can pull off in about 5 minutes.
Finish off with a sentiment, and your card is done!
Merry Christmas to the Young at Heart!
This is using Heartfelt Creations Candy Cane Cottage collection. I just think the polar bear and little penguins are so darn cute!
Merry Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everybody! This is my final card of the season, I have a lot of company coming this week, and really must clean off my desk!
This is an easel card, using a retired Heartfelt Creations paper collection – I am really upset with myself for not buying more of it before they retired it! I just love the cardinals, especially since our yard is full of them!
There are a couple of photos here to show more detail, enjoy!
I found the cutest little cakelet pan at the store a while ago, and lost it in my closet, lol! So I was cleaning out things, and found this pan, and thought it would be the perfect time to try it out, as it is very Fall themed, with Turkeys and Pumpkins and such. It came with a recipe which, was amazingly enough, incredibly close to a Keto type recipe, so I thought I would alter the recipe and see how it went. It’s freaking amazing! These little cakelets are moist and springy, kind of like sponge cake, and have NO Xanthem gum in them at all. And I have modified the recipe so it makes exactly 12 little cakelets, just right for these cute little pans.
Recipe
1/3 Cup Milk or Cream
1-1/2 tsp Almond Extract
2/3 Cup Butter or Real Margarine
2/3 Cup Lakanto Monk Fruit
3 large EB Eggs
1 Cup Almond Flour
1/4 Cup all-purpose Flour
1-1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/8 tsp salt
Heat your oven to 350. Mix in the Eggs, Butter and Monk Fruit until smooth.
Add the Cream and dry ingredients, blend until smooth again.
Add in the Almond Extract, and pour into your cakelet pan.
Bake for about 20 minutes at 350° F.
Trust me, you will be Amazed!!
