Hello! Hello! Hello!
Are you as excited as I am!
It's Heartfelt Creations 20th Birthday and I'm over the moon that you're here to celebrate this very special company with me!
Have you ever read the story of how Heartfelt Creations began?
It's such an awesome story of having a dream and working hard to make it happen!
If you've never read the about this company's humble beginnings, you can find all the details here.
Speaking of dreams, designing cards and altered art pieces for Heartfelt Creations was a dream of mine ever since I found the company and fell in love with it! I've been so happy to have been able to have that dream come true! The dream didn't stop there though, I have been blessed to be able to write the descriptions for all of the beautiful products that come out monthly. Such exquisite collections with stunning artistry makes this more fun than work!
My hope is always that these words paint a picture for you of each collection encouraging you to fall in love with each and every one of them!
To honor this very special company we are playing musical blogs for the next week!
I hope you're ready to have some fun!
Each of the blogs included in this musical blog hop are offering a different prize to one lucky winner each day of this exciting event!
All you have to do is leave a comment on the "blog of the day" when the music stops on that blog to be eligible for the prize being offered that day!
The day that the music "stops" on my blog, this is the prize one lucky participant will win!

For my birthday project I chose to work with the Pampered Pooch Collection.
For this blog hop we are showcasing the Foldout Card Collection and coordinating dies and I thought the Pampered Pooch Collection would be so cute on one of these card bases!
Here's a tour of my special card honoring 20 years of art from the heart with Heartfelt Creations....
The foldout card bases make creating an exquisite card with lots of visual interest so easy!
I chose to work with a kraft colored card base as I thought it would look great with the Pampered Pooch collection!
Above you see the entire card as it would appear sitting on someone's desk or coffee table.
You can look down into the different layers somewhat, however the suspense of what lays behind those layers draws you in and flipping through an interactive card is half the fun!
...here's how the card would appear laid out on a flat surface...

I love that adorable puppy face, and couldn't resist adding the birthday party hat from the collector's/limited edition stamp and die combination which coordinates with the Pampered Pooch Collection! I thought it would be cute to make it appear that he was bringing a bone as a gift to the party tucked in among all the flowers!
...here's a view of how the card looks fully opened...
...how about a close up look at some of the detailing on the panels...
I chose to use the eyelet version of the coordinating border dies to accent the cards as those pretty loops reminded me of mini pawprints! Using the coordinating dies with the foldout cards is so very easy and makes your card look so very elegant!
If you've never seen how to use these delightful borders with the foldout cards bases, Emma Lou has been so kind as to create a video showing you how easy it is!
You can find the video here!
...moving along to the rest of the foldouts in this view of the card...
...and here's the view of the backside of the card when fully opened...
You'll notice that I finished the back of the card on this project as well. I just think it always looks so nice with that back panel covered as well.
Don't you just love all those pooches that accent the foldouts of the card!
...here's a few more close ups of the backside panels as well...
I just love that happy pooch!
All of the coloring you are seeing on this card has been completed with the Stack and Store daubers!
If you haven't given them a try yet, I encourage you to order the small package to test out the beautiful detailed coloring they can do! It's so quick and easy to use them to add color straight from the ink pad! The triangular shape lets you get into all the detailed areas you wish to bring out in your coloring!
...and the last few panels on the backside of the card...
The fact that you can make these fold out cards quite dimensional allows you to add your layered flowers and embellishments throughout the card itself on the various foldouts. Here you can see that I've created one that when open has quite an floral embellishment display on the back, but has been designed so that it works with the card front as well!
I've finished off the card by glittering it all over...the flowers, the preprinted images, etc.
Dries clear glue and glitter is such a nice finishing touch and always makes your card look so professionally made with that little element of extra interest!
I wanted to give you one last view of the card from above so you could see how
the foldouts all come together to create this dynamic project!
You can see how I've added prills to the centers of the daisies in this close up. You can also see how the flowers have been layered up with a bit of dimension!
The finishing touch on this project was the fancy die cut I've added to the top of the card.
It really gives the card a wonderful height and a grand appearance...perfect for celebrating a company that has blessed us with their beautiful collections for 20 years!
I hope you've enjoyed my share with you today!
