Trifold Cards from Heartfelt Creations Scraps

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

I saw a post by a lady on Facebook, using Heartfelt Creations paper and dies to make a tie-fold card (Kirsten Muehlen). It was adorable!! Anyway it got me going on a roll, and I have here, 5 little tri-fold cards made from 5 different Heartfelt Creations paper collections. They each measure about 4×6 when closed. The middle panel cover on all these hides a sketch pad – the nice kind meant for water coloring!

Anyways, I had a fun week! Thanks for looking!!

Mini Tunnel Album with Graphic45 Fairy Dreams/Wishes

On By celestelindIn Crafting1 Comment

I saw a video of someone making a tunnel album which was ATC size (about 2×3”) and thought this paper would be fantastic for it! So many of the images are tiny anyway, since they are fairies, after all.

The hardest part of this was getting all the pages to line up – even with a tutorial, I had trouble, but lucky for me, I am also stubborn!

I didn’t quite know what to do with it once I was finished – this paper has been discontinued, and I was working with scraps as it was – the image I was trying to emulate had the mini album on top of a much larger (but still mini-sized) photo album, and I didn’t have nearly enough paper to pull that off, so decided to create a card, and instead of the emphasis being on my dimensional flowers, the emphasis is on the mini tunnel album.

The butterfly is from my stash, picked it up at a hobby shop quite a while back, and flowers are from Heartfelt Creations – theoretically small petunias, but I just turned them into blossoms.

Personally I think it’s adorable, but I know I’m biased! Thanks for stopping by and looking!!

Cottage Life & Friendship

On By celestelindIn Crafting1 Comment

I was rummaging around upstairs and found this lovely paper from last year. Graphic 45’s “Cottage Life” collection – I have quite a lot of it, not sure how it got hidden away!

I also happened upon this pink floribunda rose that I thought would set it off beautifully. I used the Heartfelt Creations large Wild Rose die, and added a bit of glitter to the edges of the petals, and leaves. Too fun! ( Glitter is my middle name, lol!) I tucked a couple of spare hydrangeas around it, and added a gussied up bow too.

I found a little oval die cut in my stash that I used behind the statement in front; it’s amazing, really, how much stuff I used from my stash in this little card! Even inside – I had found 3 honey sticks given to me by a friend, so I added a little extra glue on the inside pocket to keep it from sliding (making a very narrow pocket especially for the honey stick) and put a little flag on top of one to catch the eye.

And voila! A pretty card in just a couple of hours!

You are more Amazing than a dress with pockets!

Tender Moments Baby Album

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

A friend of mine from the pool was delighted to welcome her very first grandbaby on July 2, apparently they had thought this was never to be, so an especially welcome surprise for the entire family!

I copied the idea for this sweet album from Nikki Craft, and of course modified it as I went along. This uses the Heartfelt Creations Tender Moments collection – the baby animals are so darn cute!! I have page by page the entire album, but if you’re in a hurry, skip to the bottom for a little video walk through.

Thanks for looking!!

Throwback Thursday

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

I made these cards quite a while ago, but for some reason never posted them here.

They are really sort of gift cards, and a unique element is the hangar on top, which allows the recipient to display it on a knob – like I have here in my kitchen.

The pink one is just a single sheet of paper decorated on both sides, the purple is an actual card, and even has a thin magnetic closure, which was required because of the heaviness of the back (see below).

It’s the chocolate bars, frankly, but maybe also because these are sorta “stuffed” with tags and mini-booklets!

Personally I think they are adorable, but then, I’ll admit, I’m kind of biased!

Thanks for stopping by!

This Card is so Extra!

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

Using a mix of papers from Heartfelt Creations, I’ve created a very special card, for a very special someone. This card has tags, and room for a Special photo, (or two) as well!

These little birdies are just so stinkin’ cute!! Also I’m in love with all the decorative Lacey dies, and you can see I incorporated several in this card. Here is a little video for you to see.

Swing Fold Card

For this card, I used the Romance Novel paper from Prima, and a couple of little blossom from Prima as well.

This was very fun to make! It is a little “fiddly” , and I was limited on the size of my card, because the paper pad was only 6” x 6”, however, look at the sweet images (which are going to be covered up by photos I suppose!).

More Peonies!

On By celestelindIn ContemplationLeave a comment

I’m loving the HFC Sweet Peony papers! Such a beautiful shade of pink, and it is so versatile, you can make cards for any occasion – from Sympathy to Anniversary! This first card has a “hidden” large tag for a little letter to the recipient.

The second one has a magnet holding the flowers on to the card. it was very simple & easy to put together. The hardest part was deciding which of the beautiful papers to use!
