Heartfelt Creations Stamp and Dies

These are samples for the new stamps and dies that Dutch Paper Crafts has for sale this week.


For this card I stamped the image from HCPC3443 with Veramark ink, embossed it with gold embossing powder and colored it with pencils. I added an oval with the sentiment and a swirl die cut from Marianne Designs LR0116 which is also avalable from DPC.


This image is from the stamp set HCPC 3445


 For this card I used one of the Decorative Chateau Gate dies. For the background I used HCPC 3441 and for the door a stamp from HCPC3442. Behind the door is an image from HCPC3444.


A much different look for this card...more me! I used the window die to cut the negative space and one of the stamps from HCPC2448 for the flowers.


Another use for the window die. I cut two and joined them in the middle! The image is from the HCPC3446
stamp set.


A very masculine card this time using all the stamps from HCPC 3447 and the topiary from HCPC 3446! I used a kraft card base stamped with the woodgrain stamp. The window is stamped and cut so that it opens. Behind the window is the fireplace. I stamped, colored and cut the topiary and then stamped another flower pot which I cut out, curved and adhered with dimensional tape.  The little sign in the pot say's 'gone fishin''

Letter Love 101 Class

It has been quite a busy week with the assignments for the class and the other things I have been doing. This is just a peek at my class assignments.

This is a sign we had to make and display where we can see it!


Practice fonts using different pens, We were given names of fonts and had to do a font that fit the name.




Three samples from yesterday's lesson.

There will be another post today with the sample cards I made for Dutch Paper Crafts featuring Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies.

Birthday Fairy

I have been making some cards with African American images from MO Manning. This is one of them. Isn't she cute?

LetterLove101

I signed up for an online class with Joanne Sharpe which started yesterday and lasts for 29 days, the whole month of February.


Our first assignment was to decorate a composition book and glue the pages together in pairs to make a lettering journal. This is my journal.


 As time permits I will be sharing my progress with you as well as cards. As you can tell my lettering has a long way to go so I hope to see some progress!

Quick and Simple

Finally I have finished the cards for the fundraiser and they are in the mail. Most I did not take pictures of but those that I did I am sharing today as my last post for January.




These were all made using scraps and Buckle dies from Memory Box. I made sets of 6 varying the color of the buckles and the strip behind the DP.


This is a card I made as a single card. I find it hard to make masculine cards especially for teens but I think this one hits the mark.

Angel

I have had this dig already colored and cut out hanging around for a long time. I found it under a bunch of stuff on my table and thought I had better use it before it got buried again!


The digi is 'Twilight' from Crafts And Me colored with Prismacolor pencils. The border is a Martha Stewaart Punch around the Page. Behind the angel is frame made with Spellbinders Labels 10 and behind that is a medallion made from part of a Hearfelt Creations gate fold die set.

Medallion and Digi

Along the same lines as yesterday I made another card using  parts of a medallion and a digi stamp.


The medallion I used here is an older from Marianne Designs LRO 129. The butterflies are from a Martha Stewart punch.The diasy corner digi is from Dianne. That is all the info I have. If digi designers would put their url as part of the digi name it would make it a lot easier to give credit where credit is due!
