WEDNESDAY WITH HEARTFELT CREATIONS


It's time to slow down the daily pace, take a deep breath and embrace life with the new Heartfelt Creations Italiana Riviera Collection.  We invite you to stroll down the Italian coastline taking in the spectacular seaside views, open markets, and amazing architecture while allowing yourself to relax and get lost in an easy going way of life.  Feel the gentle breeze, breathe in the aromas of salty mist and mouthwatering eats as you pass by a harbour lined with delightful cafes and quaint little shops calling out to you to pause for a visit. Step through towering stone gates to meander through perfectly manicured vineyards boasting rows and rows of coiling vines filled with dense foliage and  plump clusters of exquisitely purple hued grapes.  Then as the sun sets, continue to take in the old world charm and beauty of the area as you relax in your villa, enjoying a glass of fine wine aged to perfection while jotting down all of the days wonderful adventures on an old fashioned postcard, pausing occasionally only to peer out the old stone window that reveals the most surreal view of lush gardens, stately mountains, beautiful flowers and that perfectly manicured vineyard.  At Heartfelt Creations we dismiss the misconceived notion that you are required to leave your craft room to experience the finer things in life...so come along with us as we invite you to explore the charm and elegance of the Italiana Riviera Collection!

WORLD CARD MAKING DAY!!

Hello and Happy Sat.  It is raining cats and dogs here today so it's a great day to stay in and create! Exactly what I am doing....
This is a card I made to go along with the Suit Case Mini Album I am working on.
All items in the card (minus the sentiment) and most of the Album are from Heartfelt Creations.



The card is 5 1/2 x 7 1/2.  I started with one of the card fronts from the 250 Birds and Blooms Paper Collection.  Then I stamped 3545 Open Leaf and colored with Spectrum Noir markers LG4 & 5.  Cut those out with 736 Classic Leaf Die, shaped and adhered to card. Then I stamped the 3651 Botanical Rose flowers 3 times using Versa Mark and Fall Splendor embossing powder.  Cut those out using 758 Botanical Wings Die, colored the center with Stampin Up Rose Romance Ink, shaped using the Flower Shaping Kit and adhered to card.  Added glue to the center of each flower and yellow glitter.

You can get instructions on how to make the Mini Album at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLIY7hwM1cI   It's by Designs by Shellie
I did a few things different and the front is by no means finished...the top handle is real leather and I attached those using brads.  The straps for the buckles (Tim Holtz) are a vinyl I picked up at the local fabric shop and cut to the correct length and with I needed.  Those also are attached using brads.
Okay, yall have a wonderful weekend and I hope the weather is great where you are, cause here it is WET!!!!!
