"This is the second card I've made for my friend. It looks similar to the first one, but this time I've added some texture to the card using my embossing folder. The flower on the card is purple, and the bottom border is also in a matching hue."

  A friend asked me to make some cards for her, so I have created a different style today.  It was so much fun!  I was very happy to learn that Heartfelt Creations has gone digital.   So, I purchased The Lily Paper pack and elements because several months ago I ordered the dies and the shaping mold. I was unable to order the paper as it had been discontinued.  So, I was a happy camper to be able to download it.

However, this time, I digitally created the flowers and the border and used the print and cut feature with my Cricut, cutting out all the flowers, the oval, and the border.  Then I used the pen feature to write the sentiment.     I also cut out another border that matched the card and added it to the envelope for fun.

I would love to hear your thoughts, so please leave me a comment.

"I saw a card designed by Hanndie Bestin. I really liked how simple it looked, but when I tried to make it myself, I realized it was much more difficult than I thought. I spent hours on it, trying to get the points just right. I can't even count how many times I had to cut it out, but I was determined to make it work. Finally, I got it almost perfect, so I decided to share it anyway. I used the print and cut feature of my Cricut."

I love hearing from you, so please leave me a comment.

Today's card is for a special friend with a life-changing situation, and I want to encourage her.

I digitally created the flower arrangement as I had trouble finding the perfect flower.  I printed and cut the small heart out of the duplicated flower on the card.  Score lines were added for texture and added five small pearls. Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know how you are doing. 

My geraniums are blooming beautifully right now, so I decided to create a card using a digital drawing of a geranium flower. I duplicated the image to add depth and dimension to the card. For the sentiment, I printed it from my computer and scored lines at the top to create interest. These cards are simple and clean, which is a departure from my usual style, but I am really enjoying it. It still takes me a while to figure out exactly how I want to design each card.

Thanks for visiting me today. Please let me know if you are enjoying this style of card.

I created this card by first printing a digitally drawn flower and sentiment on it. To add some interest, I scored the left edges using my scorepad. I also used an embossing folder that I have owned for years to add more texture to the card. Although it still has a clean and simple design with a lot of white space, it turned out to be an interesting card. What do you think about it?

This is another clean and simple Thinking of You card that I designed.  I found this beautiful image on Etsy as I scrolled through the thousands of different flowers. The Print and Cut, along with the writing feature were used on my Cricut.  For added accent, I scored 7 lines down the middle of my card.  I left the inside blank so I can write a personal note to the receiver of the card.

I love hearing from you, so please leave me a comment.

I needed some Thinking of You cards, so I have been creating this week and will be sharing one each day.  I discovered a Facebook site that has some great ideas for creating simple cards.  I guess I am into simple mode these days.  It still takes me a long time to figure out what I want to do, but I so love it.

I found this beautiful flower on Etsy, printed it and then cut it out with my Cricut. I have added 5 score lines in the middle for texture and interested.  I printed and cut the images so I could use dimensional tabs to pop them up on top of each other.  I like this look on a card.  My Cricut will write the text, but in this case, I decided to print it as I printed the flowers.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me at jfricker@fourway.net.

Would love to hear what you think about my "simple cards".

This fall, I embarked on a creative journey, crafting notebooks from the exquisite Mintay Paper. For this particular notebook, I chose a design from the Vacation series. To ensure durability, I used two pieces of craft board, resulting in a sturdy notebook. The best part? The tablet is refillable, allowing me to continue using it.

Inspired by MayMay, I made it my own design.  I added a delightful touch: a piece of the same paper inside the pen. This infusion of color and pattern makes writing even more enjoyable. To achieve precision, I employed my trusty Cricut to cut out the pieces, ensuring they fit perfectly.   I have made over 50 of these notebooks, using different designs.  They are so much fun!!!

SENIOR FLAGS

Many of you have followed me for a lot of years and you have watched Lily, our Great Granddaughter grow up.  Can you believe she is a senior this year?  What a year to graduate??

One way I want to help Lily (and other seniors) remember their special year is by making them a "Senior Flag".

Garden Flags

Garden Flags are the rage right now and I am so very excited to introduce those to my product line.  This is my original design and I will be introducing more in the near future.  The flags are 12x18  and  I can customize one especially for you personally, or you can order one for a gift that I can send to someone.  The flags are $20.00 plus shipping.  I can sell you the pole too, but my suggestion is to order it from Amazon with free shipping if you have a Prime Account.  That is what I did.  Someone also says the Dollar Tree has them and I am sure you can find them locally once our country opens up again.  This particular flag is a Linen/Polyester fabric and I used my new Sublimation process. Someday soon, I will take some pictures of my new equipment for you to see. 

 (I need a bigger room :)

Flags congratulating our graduating Seniors are a big hit and I will be creating one very soon for you to see.

Please contact me if you would like to place an order by email with subject line FLAG at jfricker@fourway.net or you can text or call me at 574 514 1423.
