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!!

Hydrangeas

Sweet Hydrangea from Heartfelt Creations….inspired by a card from the ubiquitous Kathy Clements. I haven’t used this collection for quite some time, but spent part of my Sunday playing around with it. I have fallen in LOVE with shaker boxes — it’s hard to tell without a video, but behind the little window are some tiny silver sprinkles (star shaped!) – shaker boxes are so easy when you have a kit! Thank you Creative Expressions!!

This starts off with generic cardstock -about 5×7” for front and back, with a 1/2” gusset, and a 1-1/2” pocket inside. I cheated and die cut the window from the paper pack, and used a kit for the shaker box (hidden behind the window), that made things super easy!!

The flowers were fussy cut from the paper pack, as I (stupid stupid!!) didn’t purchase the die that goes along with them, and used light blue small pearl stamens for the centers. The bows are cute little ribbon found at a local craft store, and the lacy piece on top is one of HFC dies as well.

Inside I have a couple of interactive pieces, including a card with mini tags, and there is room on the pocket for a treat, like a honey stick, or slip candy bar, as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by & I hope you’ve enjoyed it!!

A Simple Thank you Card

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!)
