Hello, All!!
Welcome to my blog!!
It’s December already. I really wonder 2021 has gone really too quickly. I have been busy enough with my family responsibilities for, past one and a half years. I thought I will be free after the marriages of both my kids but…it’s different totally. I got occupied more prepping first festivals for both my kids and then spending time with new extended families. It surely was is so much fun. I have always tried my best to fulfill all my responsibilities as a designer and shared a lot of inspirations every week to inspire all my crafty friends but I could surely have done more.
Here is my weekly inspiration for Heartfelt Creations using their Cyber Monday release. I have 3 cards to share using the same which I will be posting in my separate blog posts. Do check my following next posts for inspiration.

Other Supplies Used: Smooth white cardstock, Die Cutting machine, Score Board, Glossy Accent, Sharp pair of Scissors
Instructions: The ready card base measures 7 1/2″ by 7 1/2″. To prepare the card base, cut 2 panels from smooth white cardstock, one measuring 7 1/2″ by 7 1/2″ and the other measuring 8″ by 7 1/2″. Score the second panel at 1/2″ on the 8 ” side and crease well. Glue the first panel on the scored hinge and press well.
Choose the paper from the designer paper collection and cut 7″ by 7″ panel. Mat it on Luxe gold cardstock, making a delicate border of 1/16″ on all the sides. Layer the panel on the ready card base.
Next, Cut 2 white die cuts from Fancy Flourish Border Die and 2 solid covers using the same die from Lux Gold Cardstock. Mat white die-cut on the gold base and finally layer it on the ready card front as shown. Next, Cut the circle from teal color cardstock using Eyelet Circle Die and layer it in the center of the card front as shown.
For Sunflowers, stamp multiple images of flower petals using Sunflower Archival ink and cut these using its coordinating dies. Paint the flower petals using Sunflower ink and Orange Tangelo Archival inks and shape them using a Deluxe flower shaping kit. Prepare 2 large and 4 medium-sized flowers. Prick the holes in the center and secure the pollens with a heat tool. Stamp one size smaller petal from the same set using Library green/ Cobalt Blue archival ink on green color cardstock and cut them using coordinating dies. Using the crushing technique, create calyx and complete the flower by securing them behind each flower for the complete flower look.
Stamp 3-4 sets of leaves using Leafy Accent stamp and Olive Green Archival ink and cut them using its coordinating die. Color the leaves using the same inks and shape them using a deluxe flower shaping kit.
Stamp, color and cut a few wisteria flowers using Leaf GreenFlower Archival ink and shape them using a flower shaping kit. Add flower pollens using a glossy accent and use these flowers as fillers.
Once, all the elements are ready, assemble the card as shown and complete the card by adding a sentiment from Special Birthday Sentiments Cling Stamp Set.
