"Be" Yourself with Two Paper Divas Stamps

The September release at Two Paper Divas Stamps is still in full swing and today I'm featuring the

"Be" stamp set, which is perfect for journaling, card making, scrapbooking and DIY projects.

Each one of us is unique and, whether you believe it or not, we each have a purpose in this life. I love that this stamp set celebrates the many aspects of an individual and whatever particular place you may be in your life; overcoming an obstacle, celebrating your creativity, or just honoring those little moments that bring happiness and joy.

I chose to stamp my image in a stacked format and pair it with the Everyday Heroes and Coffee Talk paper collections from Heartfelt Creations. I wanted to create a beautiful environment around my words, showing the inner beauty of each us. There's enough ugly in this world; let's make beautiful remembrances!

Some of the featured accents on this Shabby Chic card are; 3-D paper flowers and butterflies, stencils from The Crafters Workshop, lace and canvas ribbon.

Purchase "Be", here.

Day 5 Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring Blog Hop and Heartfelt Creations

Today marks day 5 of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Spring Blog Hop. Let me just say, there's an awful lot of coffee, tea and cocoa drinking papercrafters out there. Count me as a lover of all three but, coffee? Yup, that's my go-to. Every day, multiple times a day.

I thought it was the perfect time to, again, ink up this amazing stamp from the Heartfelt Creations Coffee Talk collection, including the papers that I'm using.

Since it's a Spring themed hop, I chose spring colors for my cup which was stamped with distress ink and colored with Zig Clean color brushes. I added some dots with my gel pen and texture with a scrunched up paper towel and white pigment ink. I really do love this stamp, which, by the way, is just a partial stamped image. I thought it would be interesting to only stamp part of the cup which is amazingly huge at around 4".

Additional features on my card include stenciling with The Crafter's Workshop stencils, Powder Puff chalk ink and more distress ink.

I'm thrilled that Heartfelt Creations is a Super Sponsor of this blog hop. If you haven't discovered all that Heartfelt Creations has to offer, start with the Coffee Talk collection. It's absolutely amazing.

How does a $10 Starbucks gift card sound? Good luck!

Vintage Truck for Two Paper Divas

This week, I'm featuring an amazing stamp from Two Paper Divas. Back in the day, my dad used to work for Chrysler in New York City. He was a company man his entire life and an avid race car fan as well, working in a pit crew at one point and racing stock cars as well. He loved to drive and drive fast! Of course, I had to put some ink to this cool, vintage stamp called "Truck".

I used one marker only; Kuretake Zig Clean Colors in Oatmeal. I did use a white gel pen on the headlights but nothing else. The papers from the Heartfelt Creations "Every Day Heroes" collection paired absolutely perfectly, don't you think?

Got to have this stamp for yourself? Of course you do! Visit the link below and check out other project ideas for this stamp. There are some amazing creations.

My father passed away many years ago, but my Step-father, who is also an amazing dad, used to own an old red pick-up truck. I think I'm going to give this to him for Father's Day. I know he will absolutely love it.

Product Review for Heartfelt Creations Coffee Talk (Part 2)

(FTC Disclosure: I have been compensated in product for this review. All opinions are my own and are reflective of products that I use and love.)

Welcome back to the second half of my product review for the Heartfelt Creations Coffee Talk collection. Last week, I shared my review of the Coffee Talk paper collection and if you missed it, you can see my scrapbook layout and review, here. Today, I'm going to share my insights into their new Coffee Mug Cling Stamp Set.

I've learned a lot of techniques over the years and you can learn many of these techniques at the Hearfelt Creations website by scrolling through their blog or tutorial links found on their home page. Today, I'm going to watercolor this stamped image and create a mug shaped card;

without a die.

Before we get started, I wanted to show you the size of the stamp. It's massive. Seriously. You're going to need a 4"x 6" acrylic block for use with this cling stamp. It spans nearly the entire length of my hand, at 5" x 4".

I wanted to make a mug shaped card, however, I didn't have the die. That's where a little creativity and ingenuity comes into play. I pulled out a pencil and started tracing the outside image of the cling stamp with the stamp placed faced down. Next, I carefully flipped my stamp over, traced the outside edge of the stamp with the image face up. Those arrows indicate where I plan on scoring my paper, which by the way, is watercolor paper (Bristol Strathmore 300 series).

Here, you can see the final outline. It's not a perfect science and I did use my fine tipped scissors to completely clean up any uneven edges. Do I recommend that you purchase the accompanying die? Yes! It would certainly increase productivity, particularly if you want to make multiples of a mug shaped card. You can find the die, here. Take a peek at some of the other Coffee Talk cling stamps that are available, here. As my budget allows, I certainly plan on adding to my collection.

Your best bet, would be to purchase the Coffee Talk Creative Essentials Collection, receiving the paper, mug stamp and dies at a collective discount.

Now, let's wrap this up. Before, trimming the outline of my mug shaped card, I watercolored my stamped image using Ranger distress inks. My favorite technique, and it's an easy one, is to stamp your distress ink onto an acrylic block or craft mat, spritz with a water mister, then grab a wet paintbrush and start painting with your diluted ink. For more intense color, add more ink and less water.

For the inside of this card, I've stamped onto some patterned paper and trimmed it to fit inside my card. You'll want to leave a little bit of an outer rim to your card and not trim it completely to the edge of your stamped image.

I used a craft knife to trim a little circle, bringing the "inside" of my card, for viewing on the outside, trimming the inner part of the mug handle, as well. For a little added sparkle, I added some tiny sequins and Mod Podge Dimensional Magic glue to the colored coffee.

Thank you so much for spending this time with me today. I know you are going to love this new collection from Heartfelt Creations, as much as I do. I would love to see what you make too, so please share be sure and share your creations at the social media sites listed below. If you're not already following the various links below for Heartfelt Creations and myself, I encourage you to do so. You don't want to miss a thing!

Product Review for Heartfelt Creations - Coffee Talk (Part 1)

(FTC Disclosure: I have been compensated in product for this review. All opinions are my own and are reflective of products that I use and love.)

When I heard that Heartfelt Creations was coming out with a coffee themed collection, my heart leapt. I'm slightly obsessed with coffee. Pair that with an added craft obsession and we have a
win-win, folks. Introducing, the Heartfelt Creations Coffee Talk collection.

So, what separates this collection from others? Well, first, we're talking Heartfelt Creations, folks. We're also talking earth tones; the basic beginnings of any good cup of brew, or delicate, porcelain pot of honey sweetened tea. Add to that, varying shades of blue, which any good color analyst will tell you, represents peace and tranquility. Do you see where I'm going with this?

I've used elements from several different pages for the scrapbook layout above. Trying to decide which background to use? Difficult. They're all so lush and detailed and well...... amazing! I finally settled on this wordy background full of quotes and sentiments.

Heartfelt Creations has really put a lot of thought into this collection. There are so many special elements from tags and borders to framed images that are perfect for card making. I could make cards all day with these lovely papers; the list of coffee lovers in my life is literally endless.

I had to add one of the sentiments above, that says "I like my sugar with coffee and cream." That is SO, me. Below, I've listed my current top 3 favorite coffee blends.

There was so much to discover with this new collection. I thought I'd split my review into 2 parts and feature their large Coffee Mug Cling Stamp, later this week. The stamp is so large, it nearly spans the entire length of my hand. I love it!

For now, feel free to shop and peruse the Coffee Talk section at Heartfelt Creations, here. Take a peek at Emma Lou's video which is chock full of delightful tips, techniques and creations from the design team. Look for my post later this week, featuring the Coffee Mug Stamp, water coloring and a mug shaped card. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Fathers Day with MPC and Heartfelt Creations Everyday Heroes

The design team is celebrating Father's Day over at Mountain Plains Crafters. We're all coming up with our own take on celebrating the men in our lives.

Be sure you "like" us on Facebook as we have a fun challenge and giveaway coming up later this month that you don't want to miss! Here's our Community Facebook page:

Mountain Plains Crafters on Facebook and Twitter Page

I chose to make a Father's Day card for my Dad who was a Navy man and retired Army.

I'm using the Heartfelt Creations, "Everyday Heroes" Collection. I wanted to leave as much of the quote on the paper exposed which says, "You stood the test of time with honor, integrity and commitment. Thank you."

To begin, I made a faux dog tag, those metal tags that identify every soldier. I used my Spellbinder's Celebra'tions Tag die and cut from a scrap of white cardstock. Next, I did some heat embossing in white, then painted over the entire tag with the Spellbinders Silk Luster. It was the PERFECT shade!

I used my We R Memory Keepers Trimmer/Scorer to score around the edges of my tag for that little something extra, then scrounged around my sons room and found this unused little chain that was just what I needed to complete my faux dog tag.

Some of the little touches on my card are paper piecing and 3-D pop ups that I made out of the Every Day Heroes paper, such as this dimensional time piece.

I was able to use my hole punch to punch out some of these tiny words on my paper and have a little focus on this corner where I tore and distressed the papers. I also created some knotted "ropes" as a throwback to my Dad's Navy days. I used May Arts Ribbon black/white twine and natural twine and

tied loose knots with approximately two 16" sections of twine gathered together.

You can also see that I did a little embossing with my Cuttlebug on the top paper, with a cork embossing folder for added texture, and some ink blending as well.

More images from the collection, fussy cut and popped up.

I know my Dad is going to LOVE this card! I really can't wait to give it to him.

Additional Supplies:

Ranger Black Onyx Liquid Pearls, Ranger White embossing powder, Versamark clear embossing ink, FabScraps metal embellishement, Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Ink Brushed Corduroy, gemstones (maker unknown), Bo Bunny Pearlescent, Tombow Mono adhesive runner and foam squares.

Heartfelt Creations Every Day Heroes Collection Product Review

The lovely folks at Heartfelt Creations allowed me the opportunity to test and review their new paper release, Every Day Heroes and I'm so happy that they did. This collection celebrates the every day heroes in our lives and is the perfect product to create layouts and cards that honor those heroes.

(And, for legality purposes.... I have been compensated in product for this review. All opinions are my own.)

My dad is a retired Army man and served in the Navy as well. It's definitely a no-brainer that I will be using some of these fabulous pages to document some of his achievements. However, I also know that amongst many paper collections, there's a silver lining; a collection that serves duality. In other words, I could see that these papers were not just for heroes but also the perfect compliment for other special remembrances as well.

With that in mind, I chose my first creation with this layout to showcase that duality, so you can see that this collection is not a one trick pony! True, it celebrates the every day hero but it also does so much more.

I've chosen a favorite photo of my son, from a casual outdoor family wedding (please note, that is a mason jar with sweet tea in his hand. ;)

I also decorated some chipboard with these papers for the striped border and the word "adore". I'm only working with the paper collection, not the coordinating dies or stamps, therefore, I chose to get super creative with the paper, to show you other things you can do to jazz up a layout, if you are limited in budget.

I wanted to tie in more of the tan colors from the striped border, so I stenciled a section of the page with distress ink and a blending tool.

I traced my chipboard on the backside of the paper that I wanted to use, then cut with my craft knife. To easily adhere, I ran the trimmed word through my Xyron 2.5" sticker maker.

I also glammed up some of the flowers by distressing with the same ink and adding dimensional glue.

Lastly, I cut one of the tags from the paper shown below. Are you handwriting your journaling? You should. It not only adds a personal touch, but future generations will be able to look back, identify, and remember your handwriting. Consider that a bonus tip!

I hope I inspired you to utilize this collection in more ways than one. Feel free to share your thoughts, I would really appreciate it.
