Black Friday Release with Heartfelt Creations...

Hello and Welcome!
It's a special release for Black Friday today with Heartfelt Creations!
Have you seen the new Insta-Album and Pocket Dies? 
They are stunning! 
I have not had a chance to work on an Insta-Album as of yet, but they sure look like fun...as well as quick and easy!

A few months ago, I was working on my niece's wedding album when these pretty pocket dies arrived in my possession. I was almost finished with the album, but was happy I had one page where I could work in one of the new pocket dies! (Just in case you've been wondering, all of these pocket dies will work perfectly and incorporate beautifully into the Flipfold Album System as well!)

I fell in love with the lace like, V shaped pocket found in the Ornate Pocket Accents Die and thought it would be perfect for creating a pocket on the bottom of a page. 

Here's how that page came together...


Don't you just love that intricate die cut! It's so dainty and delicate and is perfect for any album...but especially a wedding album! 

You can't see it on the photo, but I've glittered the entire pocket die cut with Rajni Chawla's Crystal Clear...it absolutely sparkles and shines! So very pretty!

Of course I had to create a tag to put into this precious pocket...


The large tag found in the Album Tags and Accents Die fits perfectly into this pretty pocket. This collection of tags is definitely one that you will need in your crafty stash for quick and easy creating for albums, cards and decorating special gifts!

My niece had roses, hydrangeas and peonies as her bridal flowers. 
I was so happy I was able to replicate each of those in her album!

There are so many different pocket dies that have been released today!
Be sure to head on over to the Heartfelt Creations blog to check them out and to see how the rest of the design team have utilized them! They're perfect for cards as well, and I know you'll see some samples of of these pretty pockets featured on card fronts on the blog. 

I've included all of the supplies and instructions below for your ease should you want more information on any of the products I've used!

I do hope you've enjoyed my share today!

Until next time...
