A Hodgepodge Greeting Card

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

So this is a hodgepodge of Floral Banners paper for the background, gold lux beneath that. The “lace is from the “Sweetheart Borders”, with a ribbon left over from a dress I made for one of my granddaughters ages ago. The flowers are from the Classic Rose, Perfect Posies, and foliage from two different Christmas collections, plus leaves from the Leafy Accents.

Sentiment is the only thing not Heartfelt Creations, comes from Creative Expressions.

Personally I think I over did it on the flowers, but once I drew the circle and glued the first bit of foliage down, I was trapped!

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope you enjoyed it!

Hollyhock Flowers in the garden

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

This lovely card is a copy of one I saw on the Heartfelt Creations website a few months ago. This uses the Hollyhock Garden flowers and papers, and the Palace Garden die. Don’t you just love the shaped cards?

The sentiment here is from HFC Elegant Rose Frames – I cut it out 2-3 times to give it a bit more dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Blooming Magnolia Gift Envelope

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

As some of you may be aware, one of my favorite Scrapbook paper companies, Heartfelt Creations, will soon be closing its doors. While I am sad about this, I am also a little bit relieved! because now I can feel less guilty for branching out to my NEW favorite companies, all of which seem to be based in Poland! (Odd, I know – and I don’t think I have a drop of Polish blood in me!!)

This lovely paper is from Scrapandme’s Blooming Magnolia. I have used a HFC die or two, for the lacy bits, and the Magnolias. This came together super easy with a 6 x 12 base, folded then Col erred with the decorative paper.

A bit of fussy cutting on the very back, to include more lovely flowers.

Thanks for looking!!

Bright and Soft Mini-Album

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

I was on a roll with Mini-Albums, so decided to copy my format with Scrapandme’s beautiful “Bright and Soft” papers. These have become my favorite papers, but they are difficult to obtain here in America. I got lucky on Etsy, and found some from someone in England & ordered two packs of four or five different collections, so I’ve got things to play with for a few weeks! (Actually, who are we kidding here? When I die, there will still be scrapbook paper in my crafty space!!)

This is the first collection that I dove in to! So beautiful! I will share some still pictures, but here is a little video!

Thanks for looking!

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!!

Actually NOT Heartfelt Creations Papers

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

Actually I don’t think I’ll ever be able to stop using HFC paper and dies, I own so many of their collections, I’ll probably have paper left even when I die.

This first card uses LemonCraft paper, a wooden chippie for the clock (so cute!), and HFC flower dies to make the Hydrangea and Lilies.

This second card comes from Scrapboys, wish I could remember the name of the collection right off, but isn’t that center image just gorgeous!!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope I’ve inspired you to create something beautiful today!

Thinking of You Today

On By celestelindIn CraftingLeave a comment

A lovely card for someone, using Spellbinders dies to make my window frame (cut it out about 4 times, and carefully glue on top of each other, let it dry, and boom! Almost a thin piece of wood!) and Heartfelt Creations Garden Lily paper and dies.

I guess I did throw in a few vellum blossom there, too, didn’t I?

Thanks for stopping by! And I hope I’ve inspired you to create something beautiful today!
