Just for you


Yay it's Heartfelt Wednesday again!
This week I created a card with golden Enchanted Mums
and teamed them up with the Sunflower papers
to create an Autumnal card!!

I was inspired to make this card as I was sorting out some things,
in the process I had to move  some of my Grandparents old photos
and out of the album fell this photo! 
It was like I was getting a tap on my shoulder
from my Grandad!! (he used to do that)
He LOVED to grow things but he LOVED especially
to grow chrysanthemums !! Every year he got
his pots all out, cleaned lined up and ready.
We used to always have a display of them in the hall
in a beautiful tall vase, it was one of the defining things of walking into
their home at this time of year!!

So here it is!! My card!! 
He would have loved this card! He loved anything any of us made him!!
Lol even the toffee I BURNT one year he still loved!!! lol!
But Chrysanthemums were his favourite!! 
So Grandad, this one is just for you !!

Make sure you stop by the Heartfelt Creations blog,
there are some beautiful projects over there!! 

To make the card I used the following:
HCST1-401 Flower Shaping Kit
105637 Cut n Boss Machine
HCD1-760 Delightful Daisy Die
HCPC-3656 Delightful Daisies Cling stamp set
HCPC-3354 Classic Message cling stamp set
HCDP1-247 Classic Sunflower Paper Pad
HCD1-768 Enchanted Mum Die
HCPC-3691 Enchanted Mum Cling stamp


Other Products Used : White card, beads, glue, 3D foam pads, beads, Peeled Paint,
Wild Honey and Scattered Straw Distress inks, glitter glue

Watch this video HERE to learn how to shape the Enchanted mums

Cut a folded piece of white card to create a 6" x 6" tent fold card. Cut two card fronts 
from the paper pad and adhere one to the inner of the card. Cut the inner square from 
the other card front. Lay the piece so the bucket is on the bottom and stamp the sentiment 
in brown ink. Glue the outer piece to the card and adhere the centre stamped piece with
3D foam pads. Stamp, colour, cut and shape the leaves. Create your flowers as in the video
and adhere beads into the centres. Adhere the leaves and flowers along the bottom of 
the centre square. Glitter the flowers and your card is complete.

Christmas Bauble


Here is my last project for Crafter's Companion for September! 
Mmm I just sneaked in then with it!! lol!!

I thought this Christmas die would make an 
awesome decoration for the Christmas tree!!!
