"Leaping " Inspiration from Heartfelt Creations

Hi bloggers. Time for some great big ol' froggy goodness! I think these little guys are so darn cute! Heartfelt Creations really hit a home run with these little guys! You should stop in at the online store and check out the Winking Frog Collection. I mean who could not love a frog when they are up to antics of theses sweet babies? Now my card today is a pop-up card. I haven't made one for a long time, but I think it turned out really cute. My neighbor saw it and ordered one just like it for her sisters birthday because she LOVES frogs.

Here's the front of the card and I believe the sentiment says it all!

 When you open the card this little pop-up surprise waits inside!

Here's a close up of the happy froggys and mushrooms.

You can find complete instructions for this card on the Heartfelt Creations Blog & a ton more inspiration from my teammates so be sure to hop on over and check it out.

Heartfelt Wish for You Wednesday

Hi bloggers! How are you this wonderful Wednesday? The sun shone all day here yesterday & that lifts my spirits to a whole new level, yay!!

i have a simple card for you today, trying my hand at CAS again & I must say I am pleased with the outcome this time. With my "more is better" way of designing it's very hard for me to do clean and simple and be satisfied, but I am with this one, hoorah!

Heartfelt Creations is making it easy with the new pages of the paper collections that have images that can be cut out and ready to go on to your cards, no muss no fuss. I personally love to color the stamped images, but every now and again I throw my hat into the ring with the clean and simple folks. I so admire that style and there are definitely times when you need it, so I am trying to perfect my ability. Here's my baby this week using the Sunrise Lily Collection.

You can find the complete instructions for this card along with my teammates gorgeous creations over on the Heartfelt Creations Blog, so be sure to stop in over there and get inspired!

Thanks for coming by today for a visit.

Happy Birthday Lilies

Hi bloggers, time to change up the color a bit. I've gone to the "sunset" colors for my card today. After all this collection from Heartfelt Creations is called "Sunrise Lily" so I thought I'd pay homage' to its name. We've had no sun whatsoever for the past few days and this card warms me up!

hre's a close-up of the pretty lilies and butterfly. Now if that doesn't warm you up, we're in big trouble!

Thanks for joing me today and be sure to hop on over to the Heartfelt Creations Blog and check out all the beauties on display this week.

Hugs, Maureen

Sunrise Lily Happy Birthday Steps

Hi bloggers. Time for a Heartfelt Creations Happy Birthday! This is an "I'm not sure what it is" project. It does fold flat, so I guess you could say it's a card, but today, in my world, it's steps.

I love how it turned out, but then anything you put this Sunrise Lily Collection on is stunning!

Here it is turned a bit to the side so you can see the steps.

Thanks for stopping in today & be sure to see my teammates wonderful projects over at the

 Heartfelt Creations Blog.

Heartfelt Creations Sunrise Lily Release Day!!!

Hi bloggers, guess what day it is?   RELEASE DAY!!

We've a dandy for you this month.........Sunrise Lily Collection, and it's as beautiful as it's name.

Rich and regal in appearance, along with a divine fragrant beauty and ornamental trumpet shaped blossom makes the lily flower a well known garden variety and a sure sign that spring has sprung.  Heartfelt Creations invites you to prepare to welcome the season of new beginnings, fresh starts and the bursting forth of nature with the new Sunrise Lily Collection. As the title of this assemblage suggests, it is filled with the romantic hues of a beautiful sunrise or sunset...glorious shades of pinks, oranges, and yellows  which also reflect the stunning color palette of the lily blossoms as they appear in the gardens themselves. Ravishing shades of greens, creams and whites bring a crispness and a breath of fresh air just as the spring season itself. Patterned papers reveal regal ornamental iron like scroll work, dainty lace elements and lovely vintage like floral details.  Beautiful imagery of lily filled vases, pretty flower adorned garden hats and luscious floral bouquets grace varying sized card panels, scrapbook layouts and embellishment tags, and are replicated in five sets of delicately detailed stamp illustrations.  The crowning glory to the collection itself is the dimensional lily flower that will add a touch of reality to each of your springtime creations.  So, chase away those winter blues brought on by old man winter, combat spring fever by filling your creative space with a touch of splendor as you begin creating with the Sunrise Lily Collection for the upcoming spring and Easter season. 

Here's a bit of Floral Designer trivia for you today, left over from my many years at that trade. The botanical name for this flower is 'Alstroemeria" or it is also known as a Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas, and some like to call it the Parrot Lily, how cute are those names? This sweet little lily is native to South America, but has been naturalized in six different countries including the United States. The symbolic meaning of this flower is wealth, prosperity, fortune and friendship. Oh and one last thing, this little honey has a vase life of two weeks or more, talk about more bang for your buck!  Now on to my two cards I have to share with you today!

This one is my "out of the box" sort of Valentines Day card, who says Valentines have to be red?

Now hop on over to the Heartfelt Creations Blog for complete instructions for my  cards and some stunning things from my teammates!

Thanks for letting me share the new Lilies with you today!

Hugs, Maureen
