From the Heart Special

September is almost over, and so is your chance to take advantage of this month's special: From the Heart. It took me a while to mess around with my special, but the stamp set is beautiful! The gold foil on the edge of the cards is such a nice touch, and the interactive cards are very unique.



I started out with a color scheme similar to the samples on the instruction sheet. I made one for of the four main sentiments. It is hard to get a good pictures of the cards with the gold foil; they look much prettier in real life.



Then I decided to mess around with a new colors scheme. I pulled some darker colors with purple and teal, and added a lighter green color with the leaves.



And finally, I decided to go with an overall lighter color scheme keeping the colors more pastel. I can't decide which scheme I like better -- they all turned out so pretty. I just wish I knew how to take better photographs with the gold foil!



There are only a few days left in September, if you haven't taken advantage of the special yet -- contact me right away!

September's stamp of the month set: Feel So Blessed

Isn't this late season warm weather wonderful? I definitely feel blessed by it, which is perfect for September's stamp of the month set, Feel So Blessed. The set has 26 stamps, including numbers, and thankful sentiments and images. I love the feather image!

This first card is using a striped patterned paper from Falling For You. I stamped, colored, and cut out three feathers. I attached them, then stamped the sentiment 'thanks' directly on the patterned paper. Same with the small hearts, which then I colored in; and finished the card off with some Bronze Sequins and Gold Glitter Gems.



This next card is again using patterned paper from Falling For You, a polka dot design. I cut out several circles in coordinating colors from the pack. I randomly attached them, trimming off any overhanging pieces. Then I stamped the sentiment 'Feel So Blessed' and attached some White Dots to finish it off.



This card is crated using a variety of prints from Falling For You. Red Shimmer Trim was attached between the two background prints. The large leaves were paper pieced out of the larger patterned print, with Feel So Blessed stamped in a circle.



This card is using a print from the Beary Christmas paper pack and a border design from Falling For You. I stamped the sentiments, hearts and leaf design; then colored them in. 



This last card is using prints and borders from Beary Christmas again, including one of the Picture My Life designs. The sentiment 'There are so many beautiful reasons to be thankful' was stamped then colored in with a couple strips of White Shimmer trim for accent.



Enjoy!
