Farewell To Heartfelt Creations

Hello bloggers!  I have a Heartfelt Creations card for you today which will be one of the last that you will see from me using this range.  We have decided not to carry this line any longer as we feel that the direction we would like to take the Creative Expressions range lies in a different direction to Heartfelt Creations.  Nikki Payne has also left our team and has chosen to do the shows directly for Heartfelt Creations on Create and Craft.  I know that many of you wait to see just what I will do given a specific stamp or die set from Heartfelt Creations, but after I post through the last few samples from my January show, there will be no more samples of Heartfelt Creations put up on the blog.
I started this card by stamping the Majestic Blooms on to silver card using a Clear Perfect Medium pad.  I heat embossed the stamped image with Silver shine embossing powder for a tone on tone look.  Rather than cutting out the flowers, I decided to use the stamped piece as a background for my card.  I added a scored strip in white to the bottom of the card.  I cut a border from an older set called Lace Doily Accents which I added to the join between the two pieces.  I tied a messy bow out of white seam binding and spritzed it with water and crumpled it for a shabby chic look.  I added it to the side of my card and made a flower to add to the centre of it.  The Bella Rose Swirl was added as an accent to it.  The focal element started with the Raindrops on Roses die cut in white.  I cut it in half and taped it so it showed behind the silver oval.  I stamped my sentiment and embossed it in silver then cut it out with the Fancy Tags Two die and mounted it in the centre.  I made a few more flowers from another stamping of the Majestic Blooms and added them to the upper corner of my focal element.  I finished the card with a double white pierced mat layer.  Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

As much as I like some of the Heartfelt Creations, I would love to see a CC show featuring your own dies and stamps Sue. Still haven't had a moment to play with mine yet - it's been such gorgeous weather I've been catching up with my allotment gardening (as have others I gather!) Been a huge fan of Creative Expressions for years and I look forward with interest with the new developments. It's bound to be fabulous so I'd better start saving up again I guess! X

Hi Sue
I love this card you always manage to create such stunning creations. It is a shame that you are not going to promote HC any more as I do love what you create using these dies and stamps. At first I thought well at least I will save some money but then I remembered all the sets of CE new dies that I have bought and it sounds like there are more in the pipeline so I am sure I will be tempted to buy more of these as they are amazing.
