Amberly Grace Flower for a Friend

Using something several times is the surest way to remember it. So here is a third card I made using Heartfelt Creations' stamps and matching Spellbinders dies.



This card utilizes The Angel Company's Amberly Grac paper collection. The background is distressed and edged with Gingerbread Versa Magic ink. The flower is Heartfelt Creations' Innoscents Flowers chalked in blue with a glitter border. The edge design is Spellbinders' Fleur De Lis, cut, embossed and inked with Ocean Depth Versa Magic ink. The sentiment panel is cut from Spellbinders' Beaded Circles Nestabilities die, also embossed and inked with Ocean Depth Versa Magic ink. The sentiment itself is from The Angel Company's Tag Tidbits set.

Blossom Birthday

This is another card I made using Heartfelt Creations stamps with matching Spellbinders dies.



This card uses The Angel Company's Juliette paper collection and matching ribbon. The background is embossed with one of Stampin' Up's Sizzix folders. The sentiment is T.A.C.'s from Trendy Greetings stamped in Burnt Umber Palette ink. The border at the bottom is a Martha Stewart border punch. The flowers are stamped from Heartfelt Creations' Flora Grande stamp set, cut with Spellbinders' Blossoms 3 Nestabilities, with a coffee ground and glitter center.

Birthday Sunflowers

Last spring at the Adventures in Stamping show, I bought several stamp sets from Heartfelt Creations that had matching Spellbinders Dies for cutting them out. There was a demo at the booth that showed how to make a template to line up with the stamped image so that the cutting came out just right. I finally got a chance to play around with those stamps and die cuts.



This card is made from brown, yellow and turquoise solid papers. The turquoise panel is embossed with the Dot embossing folder by Darice. The sentiment panel and mat are cut from Spellbinders' Labels Nine Nestabilities and the flowers are Aztec Gold Sunflowers by Heartfelt Creations cut with Spellbinders' Blossom 2 Nestabilities. The flowers and sentiment panel are accented with chalk. For the centers of the flowers I used leftover, dried out, coffee grounds mixed with glitter. The sentiment is from The Angel Company's Trendy Greetings stamp set.

Another Vintage Birthday Card

I seem to have accumulated a lot of scraps on my craft table, so I'm trying to use some of them up. This card is made from scraps of the Basic Grey Sweetpea Alyssa paper that I used on the CBL's Vintage Birthday card post last month.



The sentiment is from Stamping Sensations, Thoughts Just for You #1 stamped in Black Momento ink, over a swirl from a clear stamping set that I got somewhere. I don't know the company name, but the name of the set appears to be Monarch. The swirl is in Sage Green Versa Magic ink. The pointed flower at the corner are stamped from a Heartfelt Creations set meant to be used with the Blossoms 2 Nestabilities and the rounded ones come from a punch. I gave them a little umph by coloring part of them with the RV95 Copic marker and adding Cinnamon Stickles to the centers. The smaller ones are edged in Jumbo Java Versa Magic ink. The ribbon is from Michael's Christmas ribbon sale bin.
