Heartfelt Creations

Here's a fun card I did using a company called Heartfelt Creations.  This company makes dies that match stamps.  For example, many of you are familiar with spellbinders, this company created rubber stamps that are the exact same size as the cutters.  So you can stamp the image and cut it out.  They also make their own like of die cutters.  It's a bit hard to tell on this card because it's flat, but there are layers of flowers here.

Three different flowers on this card have layering where the images were stamped and colored and cutout.  It's wonderful for making dimensional type images.  I also have been on a design team where these cutters and stamps were sold.  That store is Scrapalicious.  Unfortunately Scrapalious is shutting down, but because they are, their cutters and stamps are WAY discounted, so their product is on sale.  It's 30% extra off the prices marked.  Just email the store's owner (Cindy--scrapalicioususa@yahoo.com) with a list of what you want.  May take her a day or so to get back with you, but she's super sweet and always gives a great deal.

Oopsie!

Here's a darling Tilda who's made a little mess, but I guess if you are going to learn to be a cook at her age, you could grow up and be a great Chef one day!  Just got to keep scrambling those eggs up.  This adorable stamp I got over at Scrapalicious.  She is selling out her store and the Magnolia stamps are 30% off the discounted price!  Yum. I couldn't resist this cutie.  The gorgeous papers on this card are all from Paper Temptress.

The card base is a stunning shimmery Mica cardstock called Amethyst, it glimmers, so I added some black paper on top that also has an amazing golden sparkle to it.  The Black layer is called Incandescent Nero.  The image has been stamped on Neenah Solar White and the corners were die cut from the same cardstock.  The light blue cardstock used for layering is called Pop Tones Berrylicious.  It may look darker, but I used some colorbox chalk ink to rub on the edges with ink on both the Pop Tones cardstock, the Neenah Cardstock and the corner diecuts. 

Coloring on the cute image is done in Copic Markers and the adorable diecuts are from Cheery Lynn.  I had to add a cute flat back button that says Chef to top the card off.  I wish you all could see it in the light, these cards shimmer so much thanks to the mica and glittery of them!

Cheers, Holley
