Good Morning, Afternoon, or Evening...depending on where you
are reading this in the world!
It's new release Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations!
I'm sure by now you've seen the sneak peeks of the Wild Aster Collection!
It is stunning, and has become a fast favorite of mine!
...here's a little more about the collection...
Warm summer breezes have begun to cool, and daylight
hours have started to shorten…tall grasses rustle in the wind preparing to make
their way to seed, and leaves slowly begin their tumble to the ground to
insulate the earth for the cooler upcoming season. As summer begins to fade,
and the bright hues of heat loving florals dim, it is then that the graceful
aster takes the limelight and becomes the crowning glory of the autumn season,
lending it one last burst of color with their blends of pretty purples, pleasing
pinks, and blazing blues! Join us as we bid summer farewell and celebrate the
arrival of the autumn season with the Wild Aster Collection from Heartfelt
Creations! Take a walk among the last perennial wildflowers of the waning
summer season as you delve into a paper collection draped in light and airy asters
hued in vibrant fuchsias and pretty purples, all accented with glorious greens,
precious pinks and tranquil creams. Enjoy alluring backgrounds filled with
dainty lace like accents, grand vintage style stripes, and beautiful brocades,
all ready to set the stage for captivating aster arrangements! A lovely
assembling of cling stamp sets filled with pleasing aster illustrations unite
to create pretty wildflower sprays and elegant bouquets, while a stunning
collection of beautifully illustrated aster petal images, when paired with the corresponding
dies, join together harmoniously to create light, airy, dimensional aster
flowers perfect for creating elegant autumn inspired floral clusters! So, grab
your sweater and join us for one last walk through the garden as we take in the
simplicity and beauty of the glorious wild aster!
I can't tell you how beautifully these asters shape...both by hand, as well as in the 3D Basics Shaping Mold! If you're new to the flower shaping crafting adventure, this is definitely a flower that will help you build your confidence quickly!

Beautiful singles, gorgeous double blossoms, blooms just starting to open, and gorgeous full blossoms filled with multiple repeating sizes which have yet another look!
...let's take a peek of the card I created for this release...
A pretty white die cut behind the cluster to add some interest, a variety of asters shaped in different ways, along with some gorgeous filler accents and foliage, and this pretty card didn't take too long to put together!
...and here's a close up of one of the floral clusters...
A simple sentiment from the paper collection finished off the card quickly and easily!
