A beautiful way to celebrate the fall, yellow, blue, and white, with some greenery mixed in!
This card was super simple, just make a couple of lacey borders with the …………die, cut and color your sunflowers and daisies (I actually used the Wild Aster die to make my daisies), add some leaves and glue them on! Presto, a beautiful card that is sure to impress.
Another sure winner from the Heartfelt Creations artists!
I fell in love with this paper – I am in love with Steampunk, and adding Santa with poinsettias to the mix, was just too much to pass up!
The above card is my absolute favorite one, not sure why, maybe I liked the flowers I made a little better, not sure, but I sure had fun! I grabbed some “floral picks” up from Hobby Lobby to fill in the foliage around the flowers, they came with large berries and tiny pinecone, that added just the right touch!
This card (above and below) is fun because it is something to interact with – you kind of twist the top part, and it props itself up (see right at “tis the Season” – mounted on a bit thicker cardstock), but also opens up even beyond this for a message or sentiment page.
Loads of fun, a little fiddly – I really like the cardstock clock on this as well. Absolutely gorgeous paper!
Thanks for stopping by!
I love my Heartfelt Creations Papers! This particular paper pad is being discontinued after this year, so sad, because these penguins are just too cute!!
I’m also in love with the little polar bear!
Here’s the inside!
I have another little card I made from this collection, it’s got quite a bit more folds to it, but is super cute:
Hurry on over to the Heartfelt Creations website, and you might be able to score yourself some of this cute paper before they run out!!

This is my entry for the “Anything Goes” Fall (November) Four Seasons Challenge. I had to interrupt my Christmas Card production, but was itching for an excuse to make some of my “Rustic Sunflowers” again, as I just recently got the cool Redlands Elements “prills” to use for their centers!
I actually went to Hobby Lobby and found some pumpkin stickers, which I mounted on white cardstock to add some dimension to them, and then fussy cut them out.
The paper is from Heartfelt creations “Dazzling Dahlia”, and the dies are HFC as well as the flowers. I love to stiffen and gloss my flowers with “Diamond Glaze” – another Hobby Lobby find, that makes the paper much less resistant to losing its shape. It also will bring the color of your ink out more too, if you want a deeper color. The sentiment die is from Creative Expressions, I believe Sue Wilson is the artist – she is frankly amazing, just like Linda Bontrager at Heartfelt Creations.
Thanks for dropping by!
I’m having trouble getting in the mood to make Christmas cards this year, because it’s nice and warm here in Florida! Not that I’m complaining!! I’m basically just using Graphic 45 papers this year, although I have to admit 99% of the flowers are made using Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies.
That being said, this is one of my more recent cards using “Joy to the World” by G-45.
Thanks for stopping by!
This is my favorite card so far this Christmas Season. It’s also my very first Santa themed card. This is a retired paper pad from Graphic 45, and unfortunately I could only find one 8” x 8” paper pad.
This involved a lot of “cut and paste” in an attempt to conserve paper. Luckily, I know how to make flowers and bows, so they covered up where some of the paper joins are.
So I made 6 little “wild roses” – the white ones, 2 red rosebuds, and then the full rose – all from Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose dies. Didn’t even bother to stamp them, but I did gloss them up a bit.
This is the inside of the card – the paper pad has two entire sheets of these little “stamps”, and the stamp was found at a local craft store several years ago.
Thanks for stopping by….it’s almost the weekend, so I’ve gotta get back to the craft desk!
So I have a goal of creating 50+ Mother’s Day cards this year, to give to a Nursing Home on Mother’s Day. You will see the “Happy Mother’s Day” message a LOT this coming year! This is one using a collection from the spring, the Climbing Clematis, and is on a 6” x 6” card base.
I also added a cute little pop of butterflies from the Floral Butterfly collection, and stuffed some tiny pale pink blossom in there which I fashioned from the Wisteria die, just to fluff it out a bit.
Thanks for stopping by!
I attended a class on-line, and made four adorable Mothers Day cards, ranging in difficulty from extremely simple, to rather difficult.
I worked on these ALL of the Mothers Day weekend, so obviously I was doing exactly what I wanted to do!!!
Of course I forgot to post this in a timely manner, so now it’s more of a TBT, as I made these cards in late April!!!
Hope you enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!!
In the evenings, I like to make flowers, and dream up designs for cards. On Fridays and Sundays I try to actually make the cards or folios. I’m even trying to branch out from Heartfelt Creations, but they just have such adorable designs!!! This is more Climbing Clematis and a Sweet Magnolia card.
Thanks for dropping by!
I have been remiss in posting on here! Life has gotten much busier, now that it is summertime, and we are spending our spare time visiting Florida’s Natural Springs, beaches and family!
I actually have been crafting, and have been enjoying working with Heartfelt Creations Sweet Magnolia, and Climbing Clematis collections.
In fact, I’ve been tweaking the Clematis and making it into smaller Dahlias. The magnolia has many possibilities, and each of these stamp and die sets have three different sizes. I enjoy generally clustering my flowers in odd numbers, like 3 and 5, and will often make three of the larger flower, and two smaller, or one large and two smaller.
