March 7, 2015

It has been a couple of months since I've posted, but I have been busy learning and practicing to make pretty cards through Heartfelt Creations (HFC). It has been such a miserable wintery January and February that I've had more time than usual to make cards.  Here are some cards I've made. They are not of the caliber of the real HFC artists, but I'm learning:

These cards are from HFC  card kits.  They are great for learning how to produce the flowers et all. 

I created the next ones with HFC stamps and dies.

Here are cards with assorted types of materials:

So for now, this is what I have to display.  I have been having fun with dies and flowers and interesting paper.  I still take classes for new techniques with Diana Kovacs from Hampton Art.
   Thanx for stopping by!

The end of 2014:
This has been a hectic and emotional year.  I am looking forward to the next year being more stable and happy. I wish all my friends and family a happy and peaceful New Year for 2015.
  Meanwhile, i have been making some cards for various occasions.

I made very few Chanukah cards this year.  Here are examples of the few that I made:

Some birthday cards:

Some basic cards:

Some cards using HFC elements:

So that is all for now.  Comments are welcome!

Something a little extra this month.

   I had a lot of fun making these cards and just had to post them:

The card above was made with elements from the Heartfelt Creations new collection, All Geared Up.  I love the colors and the assortment of stamps and papers, and the dies that come with the whole set. 

 The card below was made with some scrap paper, washie tape, an HFC flower, that I colored with Copics, and two HFC elements of leaves/swirls.  Everything just fell into place for this card.

Now, it's time to say, toodle-loo until next time.

Some New Stuff

I have been busy with a few new card ideas.  Here is what I have for now:

Made  this one for a 1 year old's b-day.  embossingm stamping, washie tape...lots of fun topped off with blue bow.

A simple embossed card with liquid pearls on all the dots and a Top Dog Dies Happy Birthday.

I've used this stamp before but this time I did the coloring with more contrast. 

This is just a simple design with pretty paper and use of peel offs with Prisma Pencils.

 I have always been a bit collage challenged.
These two cards were inspired by some pretty paper and flowers.

I made only one Rosh Hashana card this year and it was for my fellow card craftswoman Barbara Snyderman.  Barbara is a master card maker.

I do love butterflies and creating with dies.  This card didn't scan well.  There is embossed paper, die cut center pieces and pretty metallic paper.  The tones are brown and copper and gold.

Pretty paper, ready made embellishments, a hand made bow and a die cut fence.  This also is so much prettier than this scan.  I'll have to photograph a few of this cards.

More Heartfelt Creations card kits.  I'm getting batter at flower making and coloring.

These two  are more butterfly cards.
I'm a sucker for pretty paper and butterflies.
The top card is a stamp and the right card is a stamp that I cut out.  I like the coloring of both stamps.  There is bling but the scanner doesn't really pick it up.










So, September was a busy month and October is starting out that way too.
