Let’s Celebrate

Kia Ora Koutou

Welcome back.  I don’t know about you but I feel that I have been coming out of hibernation after being in lockdown for so long.  Here in New Zealand we are in the fortunate position of very few new cases and a country opening up again but I am still very wary of going out and meeting people.

Today I want to share a card showcasing the gorgeous new decorative dies from Heartfelt Creations and the lovely pansy image from the Burst of Spring collection.  I have recently done an online course on how to use Zig Clean Colour Brush markers with Rajni Chawla (please contact her on Facebook for more information) and my colouring has improved immensely.  I love how the image pops out against the gorgeous dies.  I have also used some pearlised vellum from Lawn Fawn for a contrast with the white cardstock.  The photos doe not do this card just with all the glitter and contrast.

Products Used:

Heartfelt Creations Decorative Circle Frames Die

Heartfelt Creations Burst of Spring Stamp & Die set

White cardstock

Iris Cardstock

Zig Clean Colour Brush Markers

Lawn Fawn Pearlised Vellum

Pearls

Please stay safe and well.  Kia Kaha – stay strong.

A Little Bit Pink, Blingy and Glittery!

Kia Ora Koutou

Welcome back and today I am sharing a card that I made for my daughter’s friend’s birthday.  The brief was that it had to be pink and lots of glitter and bling.  Of course Heartfelt Creations helped me meet the brief easily.

I love how you can mix and match collections and I have used papers from the Purr-fect Posies and Burst of Spring collections to make this card.  I was inspired by how Rajni Chawla makes cards using lots of layers and foam tape and I hope that I have given it justice.

Best Wishes With Bursts of Spring

Kia Ora Koutou

I am so excited with the release of the new Bursts of Spring with gorgeous papers and pansies.

Celebrate the highly anticipated arrival of the upcoming spring season with the new Burst of Spring Collection from Heartfelt Creations! A favorite among flower enthusiasts, the delicate pansy flower is often one of the first florets to be added to the freshly worked soil as the glorious garden season arrives. The soft, velvety petals of these cheerful blossoms always invite a quick caress while being transplanted near the front of the garden bed, where they are sure to be admired by all! Awaken your senses dulled from the winter season with an enchanting and deeply hued decorative paper collection filled with sweet and amiable pansy flowers, along with whimsical fluttering butterflies! Beautiful blues, happy yellows and deep purples set the tone for charming pansy clusters and bouquets encompassed in finely illustrated details from lace like accents to intricate brocades! A wonderful compilation of beautifully detailed cling stamp sets and coordinating dies bring an assortment of sprightly pansy floral sprays, perky arrangements, as well as elegant pansy frames, perfect for adding a cheerful springtime feel to all of your handmade greeting cards, layouts and altered art pieces. The coordinating pansy flower stamp, die, and flower shaping mold come together to create several differing sized pansy flowers ideal for creating your very own dimensional pansy bouquets as realistic as those found in the flower bed! So, join together with us in craft rooms everywhere…before the frost is out of the ground and gardening season arrives…as we anticipate and create our very own version of the appearance of spring with the Burst of Spring Collection!
