More Trifold Cards – Using Graphic 45 Papers

On By celestelindIn Crafting1 Comment

I have enjoyed making these trifold cards so much, I had to make more!! I have one other, but forgot to take a photo of it! so I suppose I’ll have to do another one.

The first here is made from the “Let it Bee” paper Keepsake collection. It was re-released in the Spring. Flowers are hand crafted using old heartfelt Creations dies.

This card has a little tag on the back panel.

The next 3 phots are from the G45 collection “Blossom”. This was another keepsake collection, and included the lattice die, and dragonfly die you see here. The bumblebee came from the Let it Bee keepsake collection. The butterfly is an old Spellbinders die, I use it A LOT – and I will be using the dragonfly, bumblebee and lattice dies a lot now too!!

The middle panel has a little foldout, which can have a private message written, and still allow the card to be displayed.

This is my most favorite collection currently. It is called “Flights of Fancy” and has the most amazing hummingbirds and butterflies!

This one also has a little foldout for writing a message.

I have loved making these trifold cards. I can see making many more in the future! I hope you enjoy playing with paper as much as I do!

IF you want to be able to fit this in an envelopelope to mail, simply cut off the top part where the ribbons and grommets are, and don’t use dimensional embellishments. (I don’t see that happening in my future, but perhaps for yours?)

Mini Tunnel Album with Heartfelt Creations

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

This is my third tunnel album. I’m actually posting out of order, as I told someone I’d get this one up today!

This mini is a little bit bigger than my previous, at 2-1/2 x 3-3/4” inches, because some of the images were quite a bit bigger than I could use in the smaller booklet. I also made quite a few mistakes putting it together, but I was plenty stubborn, and determined to make it work!

I used two paper collections, the clematis and the Dragonflies, and was lucky in that I was also able to use several die cuts to get my images instead of fussy cutting everything! (I’m not a big fan of fussy cutting). Anyway it was really a fun (and distracting) project that turned out rather well, I think!

Thanks so much for looking and stopping by!!

Dragonfly Dreams

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

This paper from Heartfelt Creations is delightfully decorated, in some of my favorite colors. It is rather whimsical, and I purchased it specifically with my grandchildren in mind. They will love the fanciful dragonflies!

As for myself, it is the solid sheets that are most appealing as a backdrop for the lovely flowers I can create from the Heartfelt Creations flower dies! I tucked a piece of lace beneath the flowers. I took a very old sentiment cut out (from some cute frog paper HFC put out many years ago, and was in my stash) that happened to have a Dragonfly on it – I just had to use it – even if it doesn’t match perfectly.

For the inside, simply a piece from the paper pack, just delightful. Thank you so much for stopping by.
