Rainy Day Fun

| HeartFelt cards by Sandi

Hi Stampers…

Finally a good rainy day with a chunk of time to get some things done in this craft room. I even tested all my Stamp and Blend Pens to see which ones needed to be replaced.  I can still purchase only one (light or dark) of a color until June 2nd and then they are only sold in pairs of light and dark in the new catalog.

I had so much fun playing with paper piecing this UNDER MY UMBRELLA  stamp set with retiring  BEST DRESSED DSP.  So happy to see the umbrellas back in the new 2020-2021 Annual catalog.  You can use almost any DSP and it works…so do the great sentiments in the set.

New kits are on the Front Porch using the Ornate Floral DSP and others…come on over and choose a few.

152488S

The Front Porch also has some new short packs of DSP, tag kits and design your own kits.  Everyone seems to be enjoying the smaller purchase of colors rather than a whole package of paper.  I’m happy to cut and share…just let me know your preferences.

When  my order arrives with the new colors I will be putting short packs of the new colors together for anyone who wants them – email or call to order. This is the last week for the special of $2 on kits with no minimum.  Beginning June 1st kits go back to $2.50 each or buy 5 for $10  .

Good morning Stampers!

Graduation  time is here !  Even though celebrations may be delayed it doesn’t stop us from making some cards to send to the graduates. Here a a few ready to go graduation cards that are available on the “Front Porch” if you need one in a hurry.   By the way – shopping on the Front Porch is becoming more popular…card kits, sentiment packs, cardstock and DSP coordinates, stamping supplies, special orders and more.  No traffic jams, always a parking spot, hourly shopping for social distancing. “Did you notice the sweet May Day basket fro Hive and Hollow?”  Be sure to set up an appointment.

Well my 2020-2021 new catalog arrived today!!!  Another great selection of 192 pages,  It is designed for beginner and casual stampers.  The mini catalogs are designed for the seasoned and avid stampers.   The lovely bundles and suites make it so hard to decide what to order.  I want it all! I fell in love with the Sunflower suite that shows off all the new in colors so perfectly.  Who wants to play with sunflowers at the June buffet?

WHAT’S HAPPENING??  

Obviously the May Buffet is cancelled…so i am working on the card rack that is located on my porch.  Please let me know when you are coming so we can practice social distancing.  Come pick up a card kit or two or a card already put together.  Just let me know what you want and I’ll take sure it is done.  Need Mother’s Day, Graduation, Father’s Day kits?  Just ask.  Look over some of the previous blogs that are categorized and see if there is anything that strikes you fancy.

MORE CREATIONS from Heartfelt Designers

| HeartFelt cards by Sandi

 

Hello  Stampers!

If you participated in the last challenge or requested an Ornate Garden CASE the Catalog kit you should have received a package in the mail last week with some goodies to play with. It looks like the card designers are holding their own halfway through the 2nd month of STAY AT HOME!

Take a look at these ideas and let Karen and Rosie know what you think of their creations.  Be sure to send yours in so we can send them out to everyone.  What they have created with this DSP you can do with other DSP….it’s a matter of switching your brain to “create”.  Use something that makes your heart sing and create your own.  I can’t wait to see how you use your talents.   YOU CAN DO IT!

 

Karen Ford has been a busy little bee in her craft room.

Rosie Giertz is another busy stamper.

FLOWERING FOILS DSP CHALLENGE; CLEARANCE AND a 2021-2022 catalog

| HeartFelt cards by Sandi

Hello Stampers,

It seems strange not to be setting up for the April Buffet. In fact, everything seems strange including this massive snow storm on Easter Sunday that continued into the night with ice and snow covered streets!  We were so blessed by the Easter week services on line that kept us connected during this special double Passover/Easter time.

FLOWERING FOILS  from the Heartfelt Designer Team

I am so glad we decided to do a challenge for the month. Look at these beautiful entries that warmed my heart. Each participant was given a piece of Flowering Foils DSP that was a FREE SAB item and a piece of white cardstock.  There were no directions except to use the DSP to design their own cards. Here they are in numerical order and YOUR job is to respond with your first, second and third choice.  The winners will receive a gift from me.

Interested in Card Kits?

I had planned to have a kit for the Ornate Garden suite at the April Buffet…sorry no buffet today :{….then the idea came to me that you might like to work on a kit at home. So I’m turning these into kits to mail out to you.  …watch the next blog for details on how to get more.   I know some of you don’t have all the supplies you need at home to make cards…just let me know if you want a few kits mailed to you or some sentiments stamped, etc.

As I posted on our last blog, know that Gary and I miss you and continue to pray for you to live in Divine Health.  We encourage you to stay positive and uplifted during this unpredictable time.  “Stay off the news – its filled with the spirit of death…move to the light and the spirit of life…. jump into your crafts…make something delicious to eat and praise God for taking care of us.  After all,  He takes care of the birds…why not you???  Send a card to encourage someone today!”

Thanks for stopping by today.  May your day be filled with sunshine and peace.

Miss you all….

ORNATE GARDEN – FOILS CARD CHALLENGE – SAB ENDS – 2020-2021 Annual Catalog

| HeartFelt cards by Sandi
Hey Stampers…
Just checking in during these interesting times. I am loving the quiet and slowed down pace of everything…how about you?  It’s reflective and refreshing and I refuse to walk in fear of that wicked virus from hell.  My craft room is a  busy little place.  How about yours? Aren’t we blessed to have a place to create and have fun…letting the cares of the world pass us by?  If you haven’t been taking advantage of your craft room supplies I encourage you to stop what you’re doing and go create a card or two.  AND I have a supply of a few things here if you run out and cant get what you need to finish a project….just email me…the mail is still working!!!
I was hoping we could get blooming  at the next buffet on April 10th with an exclusive early release from our new annual catalog. If not, what a great way to bring spring into your craft room. What do you think of these little creations? (Right out of the new 2020-2021 Catalog.)
Numbered from top left (1) to top right (2-3) and bottom (4)..Which is your favorite?
Please vote and comment on this blog so I know how many to prepare…and oh be sure to sign up for the buffet.  I am believing this social distancing quarantine will be over by then.  We have already deep cleaned our crafting space at the hotel with On Guard so we are disinfected.  IF NOT – I will be happy to mail you a kit of your favorite to work on – send me an email.  
Be sure to click on the link to see the early release video.03-03-20_th_videoscreen1_ornate_garden_na.jpg

WHAT’S ON THE MARCH BUFFET?

| HeartFelt cards by Sandi

Well a bit o’ Irish for sure…with a new design in the CREATIVE  CORNER for St. Patty’s Day!   If you don’t see what you are looking for just ask me…I will have some additional supplies that might strike your fancy!     Here are some ideas to chew on:

IMG_4661

Additional card kits include those very cute bees (BTW -the beautiful Honey Bee paper is SOLD OUT!!! ),  paper piecing, lily pad sympathy  and butterflies returning for a last call, a special “looks like watercolor”  card technique, and maybe a graduation gift card holder with that flowering foils DSP that’s FREE for a qualified order.

SO WHAT ELSE IS  NEW?

RESERVE YOUR CARD – when you submit a review and comment on a card that I have specifically addressed in my post,  I will reserve that card for you.  Be sure to comment about what draws you to the card.  There are 2 of those cards on this buffet…coffee with a friend  and Happy Easter vellum card.

These cards will be especially prepared for those who followed my request…your name will be posted on the NEW CARD HOLDER.  Please only make one unless you specifically requested that I cut extra paper for you.  This is being put into place to make it easier for my on line viewers to find the page.  Many of you visit and see what’s happening with no response or a thumbs up.  That’s fine too but will not qualify you in the future to make the card.  There’s a method to my madness...and my goal is to get more viewers.  If you haven’t done this already, you can help by going to the site to rate Heartfelt Designs Page then  make your comment on the card posted.

You will see our NEW CARD HOLDERS  on all the kits…a new idea to keep sample cards clean, neat and for everyone to share without removing them – they will always be in the right place for all to see.  There may also be tips for the card posted to help you compete your card.

WHAT ARE MY MARCH SPECIALS???

  • When you order on line by March 13th:    $50 order – receive a free silicone sheet from me;
  • $75 order – receive an embossing folder of your choice.
  • ALL precut card kits are on sale in March when you buy 3 or more they are only $2 each instead of $2.50.
  • ALL pre-cut paper packs reduced by 50 cents.
