This is a scrap book page of my son's and daughter-in-law wedding this past month.  The gorgeous paper, tabs on the right of the photo and bottom white oval die cut are from the Heartfelt Creations Classic Wedding collection.

You will most likely see ribbons and flowers on all of my projects.  I made these flowers from the Heartfelt Creations Sunrise Lily and Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose die and stamp sets.  You can view how I made my cottage roses by click HERE to view a You-Tube video that I created for you. 

 I love using the NUVO Mousse to color my flowers.  This time, I used the NUVO Calypso Coral, Mother-of-Pearl and Peony Pink and sponged the petals of the flowers before assembling each flower.  

I typed in "Tying the Knot" using a Word software and Vivalda Italic font.  Did you know that most printer inks have ink that embossing powder will stick to it.  I printed this sentiment on shimmer card stock and immediately embossed the printer ink with silver embossing powder and heated it with the embossing tool.

I have a card made with Heartfelt Creations  Wish stamp set, Heartfelt Creations Botanic Window, Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose  die and stamp sets and Blue Fern Studio Anticipation paper all from The Rubber Buggy on-line store.  

The butterfly was made with the Heartfelt Creations Butterfly Medley collection and colored with NUVO Calypso Coral Mousse and Copic red and yellow markers.  

The Heartfelt Creations Classic Roses were stamped with coral colored ink on yellow paper and sponged with NUVO Calypso Coral Mousse for two roses and the other two with NUVO Lemon Sorbet Mousse.  I added the gorgeous US Artquest Mini Prills-Go Man Go to the center of the small burnt red flowers that were cut out with the small Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose die.  I stamped the Heartfelt Creations All Classic Rose leaves with green ink on light green paper and sponged the edges of the leaves with the green ink.  I have a U-Tube tutorial and by clicking HERE you will see  how I made my cottage roses.

I have a birthday card made with Heartfelt Creations collections all from The Rubber Buggy on-line store.  

My card measures 6 1/4" x 6 1/4".  I made the Heartfelt Creations roses using the Ranger white embossing powder and vellum.  Before molding and shaping the petals for my roses, I used my fingers to apply on the back of each petal the NUVO Embellishment Mousse- Coral Calypso and NUVO Embellishment Mousse - Mother of Pearl.  I just love how the NUVO Mousse colors matched the roses in the patterned paper and how lacy the roses appear with the white embossing powder on the vellum.  I struggled using glue for the vellum flowers so I used a hot glue gun to assemble the roses.  I plan to have a tutorial on how to do these roses within the next few weeks after harvest is over.  I adhered the roses to the rose vine in the Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose stamp and die set.  

The gorgeous patterned paper is from the Heartfelt Creations Classic Wedding Collection Paper and the beautiful birds are found in the Heartfelt Creations Dogwood and Dove stamp and die set.  I colored the dove's breast with a light lavender Copic marker.  I adhere the dove using 3D foam adhesive tape onto the Heartfelt Creations Botanic Window die that was cut with white card stock.  

I added a coral seam binding bow and used the 1/2" Scor-Pal Tape which is double sided to adhere to the card.  I applied three drops of the NUVO to each corner of the card.  If you don't have the NUVO in your supplies, I would suggest you purchase this and from The Rubber Buggy.  This is my favorite of all of the NUVO Crystal Drops and it makes a perfect flat back pearl every time.

Welcome back to my Saturday blog for The Rubber Buggy.  I made this card using the quality paper crafting name-brand supplies from The Rubber Buggy on-line store.  Their customer service is wonderful along with fast delivery.  

The card measures 7" x 7" and the background patterned paper is from Lemon Craft New House of Roses 6" x 6" collection.

I love making cards using the Heartfelt Creations coordinating dies, stamps and paper collections.  I am still perfecting my roses using the Heartfelt Creations white embossed stamped and die cut roses with Ranger white embossing powder on vellum paper.  Some of the white embossing rubbed off the vellum card stock but actually it looks more lacy now.  I used NUVO Embellishment Peony Pink Mousse on the back of each petal of the vellum roses before gluing the petals together to form these rose.  


I added NUVO Crystal Drops Rhubard drops in the center of each rose to cover up the white flower buds or aluminum foil that I used in the center to start forming each rose except for the small rose.

The Heartfelt Creations orchid flower was stamped with a rose pink ink and I used my fingers to spread the NUVO Embellishment Coral Coralypso Mousse on top of the petals.  
I cut out the tiny hummingbirds from the Heartfelt Creations Botanic Orchid paper collections.  I stamped and die cut the hummingbird and orchid using the Heartfelt Creations Boutique Orchid stamp and die set.  I colored the hummingbird with Copic markers from The Rubber Buggy on-line store.

Hope you had a very good Christmas. After Christmas, I made Thank You cards.  I just love the Tutti Designs Swirling Thanks die now available at The Rubber Buggy.  I cut this die with white paper and colored it with Copic markers.  

Tutti Designs Swirling Thanks

I always love to add flowers and ribbon/bow to each of my cards.  
Blue Fern Studio - Sweet Heart has this gorgeous paper with a printed ribbon on the side and I just added a seam binding bow that almost matches this colored ribbon.

Blue Fern Studio - Sweet Heart

Heartfelt Creations flowers are so much fun to make.  I used the Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose and Heartfelt Creations Blushing Rose dies and stamps and colored the roses and leaves with Copic Markers but first I stamped the flowers in dark pink before using lighter Copic pink markers.  




My favorite butterfly die is the Poppy Stamp Theo Butterfly.   I added NUVO Crystal Drops Oyster Gray on the center of the butterfly, center of one rose and  each little flower on the Tutti Designs Swirling Thanks die cut.  Take a closer look at the NUVO Crystal Drops Oyster Gray dots- very gorgeous!!!
