It's a Perfect Partner with Crafters Companion

I love this sweet shallow spring box that I created with Crafter's Companion and the Sheena's Perfect Partner Sweet William.  Of course I'm a softie to anything called Sweet William and this stamp and matching die set is just stunning.  I love everything about it. 

TIP: You can use the Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens either straight on the paper for a more intense color or you can place some of their ink on a palette and water them down for a more subtle coloring.  They are so versatile for your shading. 

 

Sara Davies is coming to HSN March 16 with so many goodies you won't believe it....HERE"S A SNEAK PEEK!!!

Here's a picture of the box open so you can see how shallow it is and it's ready to hold a love note, pictures or small little keepsakes. 

Need to know what I used on this project?  Here's a complete list of Crafters Companion goodies used:

 Spectrum Noir Sparkle: Cosmos, Holly Leaf, Olive, Jade, Amethyst and Pink Garnet, Friendship Sentiments Stamp, Sheena Perfect Partner Victorian Floral Metal Die: Sweet William Die and Stamp set, Gemini Set 3 Metal Die Pack, Ultimate Tool, Die'sire Decorative Dies: Square Doilies

I so love Butterflies with Crafter's Companion

 

 Well my new passion is butterflies.  When my son Will was alive I adored bees.  They are one of those things in nature that just can't be explained and yet they are a miracle of God...so that became Will's little mascot the honey bee.  Now that he has transformed and is made whole again in heaven, butterflies have become something that remind me of him.  Oh I bet there are butterflies all over heaven like we have never seen. 

 

This is a card I created for Crafter's Companion and I love the butterflies throughout but I was able to make it extra special and sparkle with the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens....YUM!!!!

 

I love the butterfly and the way he is going to take flight and just flitter off the card....

 

 

Need a tip?  Don't be afraid to blend your colors with the Spectrum Noir Sparkles.  You can use a stamp block to blend the colors.  It makes for a perfect little palette.

The Sparkle is POPPING out with Crafter's Companion

 

If you didn't know, Poppies are my favorite flower.  They are just stunning with their red and pop of black....What a beautiful creation of God.  This stamp set is one that lends itself to being a poppy or any other flower depending on how you color it...great versatility. 

 

I cut along the stamped line and curled my petals up just a bit to add some dimension.  Of course I had to add it to the card with some foam tape, because foam tape makes everything better, LOL.

Let Crafter's Companion Inspire You

 

 It's so lovely to be able to sit down with some colorful pens and plan papers and be able to create a beautiful card, such as this.  I love the scene I was able to achieve stamping and coloring in with the Spectrum Sparkle and Spectrum Aqua markers.  It really did inspire me.  Have you been able to check out Crafter's Companion's new sparkle pens?  I'd love to hear what you think?

A Little Bird Told Me with Crafter's Companion

The new Spectrum Noir Sparkles are really fun to use.  You can use them as straight markers but did you know you could also use them like watercolors....now that's some fun.  This little blue bird is sparkling away though I'm afraid it's really hard to capture with my camera...but trust me, he is.
Gotta love those Crafter's Companion goodies.  You can always find a complete list of products used on this project below along with the link to the Crafter's Companion site. 

 

I hope you have a wonderful crafty weekend and if your at CHA....HAVE A BLAST AND WISH I WAS THERE.

I Love You Latte Heartfelt Creations

 

I just love, love, love Heartfelt Creations, but you guys probably have already guessed that, LOL.  This month's collection something else that everyone seems to love....Coffee.  Coffee talk is such a cute collection that makes the cutest coffee shaped cards.  In fact I made this one into a coffee easel card. 

This entire card was created on plain white card stock and stamped to create all the various patterns...and all from the Coffee Talk collection.  So just imagine curling up with a warm cup of coffee, chatting with friends and then being able to give them this card to tell them how you much you care.  I've got complete directions for creating this card on the Heartfelt Creations blog, so go see how you can create this easel card yourself.  Oh and while your there I know you find lots more inspiration from the rest of the HFC design team.  See you soon!!!!
