G45 Slimline Easter Card

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

It’s a rainy weekend – we’ll at least today & tomorrow – I am unashamedly enjoying the fact that I only work 4 days a week! Of course these are generally 10 hour days, but still….

So this weekend I’ve been focusing on Graphic 45’s “Bloom” paper, which I’ve had for quite a while – in fact I have an entire mini- album using this paper – (here) – but it was calling to me again!

As per usual, these are handmade flowers, using the delightful dies from Heartfelt Creations, and Momento & Ranger Ink pads. I think my favorite part of making cards, is making the flowers dimensional ones. In fact, I plan on doing a little you tube soon using the G45 flower dies that came with the long tag, just to show how easy it is.

The gold sentiments are also die cuts, and I’m sorry I don’t remember the brand names, possibly Creative Expressions.

A Simple Thank you Card

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

This card is a true example of simplicity – the image is a preprinted 4×6” card front from the Heartfelt Creations “Cottage Garden” (Hydrangeas) collection, that has a little scalloped edge around the center & some glittery accent sprinkled in it. The sentiment was easily stamped in, and then I just added some blue flowers and leaves on top of where they were in the image to give dimension.

Now go make your own! (Easy peasy!)

A Blue Thank You Card

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

I was looking at some of my cards, and realized that nearly all of them seem to be pink and/or purple shades! Granted these are my favorite colors to work with, but I love blues and turquoise too.

So I decided that I would hunt in my paper stash and find some blues…this paper comes from Heartfelt Creations Cottage Garden. I don’t actually have the Hydrangea flower dies, so I used my Dogwood stamps and dies instead! They turned out very similar, I think!

I also used the Rustic Sunflower to make the turquoise flowers (with the green prills for the centers). The light blue is he Classic Rose.

The sentiment of course is from Creative Embellishments. I have a few other elements for variety, as well.

I had to turn the card around so you could see the other flowers!
Here is a peek at the inside!

Hello Sunshine!

On By celestelindIn Crafting2 Comments

This is a conglomeration of several things in my stash. Of course I hand shaped the Peonies this afternoon, using Heartfelt Creations dies. I also used some of the Peony leaves, but I also had some leaves from my Graphic 45 set of dies (came with that really long tag) and of course the sentiment is from Creative Expressions. The paper is seriously just some from my stash – no name brand.

The metal elements are from Tim Holtz and G45 (the little clock). I needed to include the key for a challenge from “A Place to Start” April ‘22 DT inspiration, so that inspired me to add the little wreath and clock – I love doing things in 3’s, 5’s and 7s – gives it symmetry I suppose.

I mixed in a little tulle, some thin gold strings, and stuffed a lot of stamens in the flower centers.

I had a lot of fun creating this card – probably should’ve been doing housework or something, but this was way more fun!

Wild Rose Happy Birthday Card

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

This is a shaped card, they are so fun to make and receive! This uses almost exclusively Heartfelt Creations products, with the exception of the sentiment, which is from Creative Expressions – I have several of their dies, and they are perfect for people like me who have messy handwriting!!

The paper is from HFC Sweet Peonies paper, and the die to create the shaped card is called the Fancy Classic Oval. Flowers and leaves are hand made, using the HFC dies, with a little ribbon tucked in for eye appeal.

I love the little fern like die there – it came in the most recent HFC Christmas collection, and I had no idea I’d use it so often when I first got it, but I seem to find a place for it all the time!!

I even used coordinating shaped paper for the inside, and I have to say, I love the way it turned out!!

Two Tweet Birdies and Two Pink Peonies

On By celestelindIn Crafting11 Comments

This is another lovely slimline card – these things are super popular in Europe! I follow a blog from Poland, and I think these are practically the only size they post!!

The background papers are a mix from Little Birdie Crafts “Birds and Blooms” and Heartfelt Creations Butterfly Medly. The wee birdhouse came from Heartfelt Creations Climbing Clematis collection. The white doily is a HFC die, and the flowers are medium size clematis, and small peony. Leaves again are a mishmash! Sentiment is from Creative Expressions, and I suppose I should’ve selected white, instead of gold, but I do so love glitter and shine.

Have to admit, I messed up on this, I always seem to “have “ to add a ribbon/bow, but in the image here, you can’t see the cute paper I (so carefully selected, lol) inside of the doily!!

Below you can see a closeup of my flowers – I really love making my own flowers, there are so many varieties, and you can have such a different look, using the same ink, depending on how much ink you use, and if you add a crystal lacquer. Such fun!

The sentiment is another from Creative Expressions: So Glad We’re Friends – and that really is a nice sentiment, isn’t it?!

Below is a card using more of the pink peonies – really large ones, combined with a “newish” octagonal die from Heartfelt Creations. It was really rather simple to put together, but is just so elegant! (Less really is sometimes more, isn’t it!)

I used Momento Vibrant Fuschia for the ink on these flowers, and the die cut overlay is from a glossy/metallic paper I found at a local craft shop.
Here is the inside! I stamped, colored & die cut the rose image, and the message is from Creative Expressions, using the same glossy/metallic paper I used for the overlay on the front.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Pastel Greeting Card

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

This delightful greeting card uses Heartfelt Creations Floral Borders papers, and HFC Classic Rose and Lush Lilac dies for the flowers. It measures about 9″ x 4″, and features a sentiment from Creative Expressions.

I roughed up the edges of the white border and the pale turquoise paper, and although you can’t see much of it, wrapped a couple of strips of thin organza ribbon around the paper, before attaching the flowers. There are several different leaves used here – two of which are not even remotely associated with the flowers I chose! And of course a ribbon. No lace this time, but I almost felt like that would be a bit too much. Less is more sometimes.

Thanks for stopping by! I’ll try to be more regular, now that the holidays are behind us!!

Love is in the Air!

Design #3 for February, and then I’m done….gotta play with something other than red for a while!!
The background paper is from G45 “Floral Shoppe”, the white die cut, swan and peonies & leaves from Hearfelt Creations dies (hand made by moi), and the lily of the valley are from an old generic punch. I’m sorry the gold embossing is catching the light there so much, couldn’t be helped!


Thanks for looking!

Love is in the (Lacy) Air

I have to give credit where credit is due, this was an idea I stole from a Facebook friend, and then I had to tweak it, and turn it into my own.

She had many many roses on her card, and they must’ve come out smaller than mine, but that’s ok, because I also added a shaker box where the heart is! Cute, huh?!!

Then I had to figure out how to keep it propped up, so I put a couple of pieces of paper in the middle to act as a brace.

This is definitely NOT a card you could mail, lol! It would get totally ruined in a box, or mailbox!

I had a lot of fun with this one, I really need to get off this Valentines kick, but I fear, there is more ahead!!

Happy Everything card

Forgot about this lovely, and created her before Christmas! (I think!) The arched gatefold card is probably my new favorite, it is just so darn versatile!!

I used my favorite Heartfelt Creations paper, Sweet Peony, and an ornate arch gateway die. My sentiment comes from Creative Expressions – they make more things than sentiment dies, but that’s one of my favorite tools! I just love, love, love, my die cuts!!

The lighter colored flowers were made with the Climbing Clematis, medium sized flower, and the Peonies, of course, one large, one smaller – I have a lot of fun making flowers!

The inside has another one of the arched gateway dies, and the center sentiment came from Creative Expressions, as I said before, placed between the flowers on the Floral Borders Sweet Peony die – those floral border dies are so versatile!

I just love this card, hope you do too!!
