Thinking of You Orchid Inspiration

Hello bloggers. How was your 4th of July. Mine was quiet, mowed lawn all afternoon. I mow about 2 1/2 acres so it consumes most of the day. My sister came out on Saturday and we had our celebration then & power washed the deck, yay! So Sunday was rest day, & then back at it on Monday. I like to mow late in the day because when you have Lupus as I do, the sweet sun is NOT your best friend!

My card today is made with the beautiful Botanic Orchid Collection from Heartfelt Creations, of course, and it's a little different. I wanted to try my hand at neutrals instead of pink, white, or another pastel for this shaker card. I love this look. I think it's dramatic and the pops of gold mirror paper add a tad bit of elegance. I hope you'll give these colors a try.

You can find complete instructions for this card and lots of other beautiful projects on the

Heartfelt Orchid Journey

Hello bloggers. Time for some inspiration from Heartfelt Creations. I decided to think a little out of the box and do some turquoise centered Orchids for my card today. This Botanic Orchid Collection is becoming one of my favorite flowers to make. Believe it or not, they are one of the easiest flowers to put together, that end up with a stunning result! I've used the Botanic Window die for my background and added the fancy Regal Hummingbird too. I hope my card today gives you a little inspiration and you have enjoyed it.

Heartfelt Wednesday Orchids for my friend

Hi bloggers. I have a card today using more of the Heartfelt Creations Botanic Orchid Collection.

I love the feminine flair of this collection, just absolutely super pretty. I also used the Regal Borders and Die set to add the sides of my card. Don't you just love it? The little vase is from the Sunrise Lily Collection die set called Sunrise Lily Bouquet.

I hope you enjoy my card today.

Wednesday Heartfelt Inspiration

This weeks project is not a card, but a fun little tag. I LOVE how this came together. This collection, Botanic Orchid, from Heartfelt Creations is so elegant and I think it's super feminine. the sweet little Humming birds are just the perfect enhancement for the Orchids. I've been trying my hand at dying and scrunching my own vintage look seam binding, and I am having a blast!

Here's a close-up of one of the sweet humming birds.

Heartfelt Inspiration Wednesday

Hello bloggers. I am changing it up a bit today with what I call a 'Man" card. I make so very few of them but I need to practice every once in a while so I don't forget how. I still seem to struggle with them, no matter how often I make one. I like this one and it was relatively easy. I hope you enjoy it. Father's day is coming up soon, so here's a bit of inspiration for you.  I used the Under The Sea collection from Heartfelt Creations. 

You can find complete instructions for this card at the Heartfelt Creations Blog, so stop on over and check it out. There are tons of beautiful projects from my teammates as well.

Thanks for stopping by today.
