Garden Lilies for the Win!

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

This “cover photo” gives you a tiny glimpse into my little scrapping area. It is all, just a corner of my family room – but everything is also basically within arms reach, as well.

I loved making this card! It has about 5 layers of card-stock on the front, and has a delightfully heavy feel to it.

I used the Garden Lily, and added some small Hydrangeas to tuck in there.

On the inside I stamped an image directly to the card, and had fun water coloring it last night. Just in time for Easter – obviously I don’t have the sentiment (from Creative Expressions) glued in yet – because I can’t decide if it’s for Easter or Mothers Day!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Now get to crafting!!

A Z-fold Card with Dimensional Flowers

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

I scrap-lifted this from the Heartfelt Creations Facebook page, an on-line tutorial by Carrie Giletto. Hers included a pocket for a gift card or money – mine does not – I placed a sentiment there instead.

I made a couple of Wild Roses in light pink, and a couple of lilies in yellow, plus small white blossom tucked in here and there. This slimline die is my favorite!

I used a little flower from the Tender Moments collection to add to the heart on front, and a sentiment from Creative Expressions is tucked inside, on the middle panel.

The large “empty” area has been left blank intentionally, to allow for a more personal message.

Garden Lilies on Cards

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

Just a couple of cards to quickly share, using Heartfelt Creations Garden Lily paper Collection.

Additionally, I have utilized one of the newer slimline card dies, and one of the arched gateway dies as well. this first card has my newest sentiment from Creative Expression “On Your Wedding Day” – I’d been looking for it forever!!

The lower card also has a sentiment from the Floral Frames die cuts.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Garden Lilies and Roses for Mothers Day

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

It’s never too soon to start making Mothers Day Cards, or Christmas Cards – especially if you have 75-80 to prepare to give out!!

This card uses pale blue Classic roses, two of the Garden Lilies, several little lilacs and many different types of foliage.

I love the newer slimline dies from Heartfelt Creations, this has the cute scalloped edges, which is replicated on the inside of the card, and adds a nice little touch.

Thanks so much for stopping by – new get to making your own Mothers Day Cards!!

Beautiful Lilies on Cards

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

If you play with some of these flowers, and springtime colored papers long enough, you might be able to forget that it’s not actually Spring outside yet!

Heartfelt Creations has come up with another sure winner in the Garden Lily collection – not that they ever fail to disappoint – but this is one of my top three favorites (the other two were the Wild Rose, and the Sweet Peony).

Now I recognize that Valentines has come and gone, but I still wanted to share these beautiful lilies, some call this the Star Gazer Lily, I always called it the Rubrum Lily – it’s one of the favorites of brides (back in the day when I used to make Wedding Cakes, this had to be made for almost every other cake) – and so I enjoyed fashioning out of paper, and adding some speckles, just like the real flowers have.

These yellow lilies remind me of early summer in my backyard. Tiny white snowdrops to accent the lilies help set them off, as well.

I love sharing my cards with you, my friends! Thank you so much for stopping by. Now get crafting!!

Using Leftovers to Make Cards

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

I made a challenge for myself to only use flowers from my stash. The cards are simple – Heartfelt Creations paper pads has a couple pages designed to be cut apart for simple card bases, and that’s where I started.

For thin sides, I used the Floral frames stamp and die cuts, to fancy them up a bit – those were also made preciously and in my stash.

This one I layered with some gold foil to fancy it up.
Close up of some of my flowers – rejects, left over from previous projects that I just need to get out of my stash, as it is becoming way too large.

Arched Gate-Fold Christmas Cards

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

I’m having trouble deciding which of these two cards I like best! Can’t decide which one looks better – I love the silver ribbon, but the flowers seem too big on the second one – on the first one I like the flower placement, but seems like the colors don’t match up just right. In any case – I have completely used up this paper pack – 35 cards, mostly rather embellished. Anyway, please help me pick – it’s for a VIP!

Below is the inside of the first card – both are practically the same.

This is the second card – you can see subtle differences.

And of course, a couple of closeups of the flowers from each card:

Thanks for stopping by, and truly, I need your help on deciding which one to give!!

Gate-fold Christmas Card

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

The problem with my Christmas card production is my love for embellished cards, with lots of florals. I tell myself, “just 2-3 cards a day, simple, flat, easy to mail” and what do I end up with? Big fat cards that need to be hand delivered, that’s what! but I am in love with this latest one. I started out rummaging through one of my drawers looking for something, inspiration, I suppose. Anyway, I found some old card bases, and thought maybe I could play around with it, so I had to rummage some more, and found some dies that were designed to go with these type of card bases.

For this card, I used Heartfelt Creations Holiday Star paper, and one of the 6”x6” shutter fold cards, as well as the small Festive Poinsettia stamp and die set.

Here is a close up of the flowers

I did something a little different, at the bend of the shutters, I threaded in an organza ribbon to tie it together, and I used some little Velcro dots to keep the shutter flaps together (now that I think about it, I guess I could have glued them together). Then I just started fiddling around with flowers – decided to stamp these in lavender to go with the paper color – and hot glued them down. I have a little video below of the full card.

I think it turned out pretty good, and I really like it! I hope you do too. Thanks for stopping by, and please leave me a comment sometime!

More Winter/Christmas Cards

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

All of these are using Heartfelt Creations Holiday Star paper, and the first two also use the Small Festive Poinsettia, and the Holly Berry stamps and dies.

The second card uses the same sets, and as you can see, is a very winter cool, ice color – the picture, unfortunately, makes the poinsettias look all blue, but they are in fact, only stamped in light blue (on fomiron) but it gives a very icy feeling.

This last card uses only the Holiday Star collection. I personally think the lovely silver and blue lend themselves delightfully well to Hanukkah cards, as silver and blue are the traditional Hanukkah colors (at least in my house) – so wintery it could even be used as a birthday card!

Two Cards from the Weekend

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

Work has been so crazy lately, I forget to post my photos! I craft all weekend (like a crazy woman!) so I have two to share with you today – insides too. I found some VERY large shaker box kits from Creative Embellishments and was trying to figure out a way to use them.

The first card is from Heartfelt Creations Sweet Peonies paper – my all time favorite (so far! have you seen the sneak peak of the Elegant Rose? woah!)

I fussy cut this from one of the 12×12 sheets – such gorgeous artwork!!
I didn’t add a sentiment, because I’m not sure what this card will be used for.

and the second card uses their Rustic Sunflower from last fall.

Thanks for looking!
