Good Morning, Afternoon, or Evening depending on where you are reading this today!
I'm so glad you've taken time out of your day to visit!
As you know, it's another new release day with
Heartfelt Creations...and this collection is just absolutely "purr-fect"! It's the Purr-fect Posies Collection featuring adorable illustrations of pretty kitties and gorgeous posies!
...here's a little more about the collection...
Irresistibly charming and oh
so amusing, watching the carefree, fun filled antics of playful kittens
bounding through the summer flowers beds, or hiding behind large leafy foliage,
ready to pounce on whatever comes their way, provides endless hours of
entertainment and can quickly turn one’s frown upside down! Warm snuggles with
a furry friend, whisker filled kisses, the soft sound of purring, and a gently
twitching tail are always welcome affections and never fail to cheer up the
soul. Whether your favorite kitty is timid, or filled with sass from the tip of
their nose to the tip of their tail, we invite you to celebrate your
“purr-fect” fur babies along with us with the new Purr-fect Posies Collection
from Heartfelt Creations! Leap into an elegant paper collection featuring soft
hues of baby blanket blues, subdued catnip greens, squeaky toy pinks, and
soothing lilacs, all scattered with adorable illustrations of kittens at play,
pretty posies and beautiful garden scenes. Littered with enchanting premade
card panels, this “catty” paper collection makes assembling and gifting special
handmade greeting cards effortless, while charming scrapbook pages allow for
creating fun and entertaining layouts showcasing those treasured photos of your
favorite feline! Three cute and captivating cling stamp sets along with
coordinating dies, feature finely illustrated images of loveable kittens at
play, and are “purr-fect” for creating furry, fun filled scenes on all of your
paper crafting creations, while a “purr-fectly” charming floral cling stamp set
and coordinating die, lend themselves to assembling pretty, whimsical
dimensional posies “purr-fect” for accenting your summer themed paper craft
creations! So, whether you’re an avid card maker who’s crazy about kitties,
enjoy documenting your favorite furry friend through scrapbooking, or love
creating memory keeping albums for family and friends, we’re sure you’ll find
this collection “the cats’ meow” for all occasions…and pure “purr-fection” for
brightening the days of both the young and the young at heart!
Now, I will be the first one to admit that I am a cat person!
While I love our dog to bits and would miss him terribly, the cats always manage to worm their way into my heart...especially orange and white cats...I have a soft spot for them as they seem to have the sweetest personalities! So, it will come as no surprise that my project has a sweet orange kitten on it!
...here's the shaker card I created for my first project with this sweet collection...
I thought a shaker card would be so much fun to do with this adorable collection!
I created a 6x6 card base and went to work with layering different papers together.
I die cut the circle center out of one of the premade card panels and started assembling the shaker portion of my card.
...and here's a close up for you...
I've colored all of my stamped images using Zig Color Clean Real Brush Markers and have used Ranger Archival Inks for all of the die cut florals and foliage. I won't bore you with those details...you can find all of the colors, etc. in the instructions listed at the end of this blog post.
Of course I've used the new Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper from Heartfelt Creations for all of the florals and foliage. These posies are so easy to shape using the coordinating 3D Purr-fect Posies shaping mold...and this paper just shapes so beautifully in the mold!
You will love it ...I promise!
Did you catch that I've also used one of the new pocket dies as accents in the background? I've glittered them up with Rajni Chawla's Crystal Clear so that they really glisten when the light hits them!
I've finished off the posy centers using Go Mango Prills and have added Baby's Breath Ultrafine Transparent Glitter to all of the stamped and die cut images so that the card has a beautiful shimmer!
Thanks so much again for stopping in to visit with me today!
I do hope you've been inspired with what I've shared with you today!
Be sure to stop by the Heartfelt Creations blog to see all of the wonderful projects the rest of the design team have come up with featuring this "paw-sitively purr-fect" collection!
Until next time..

Create a 6” x 6” card base from white card stock.
Locate background paper in Purr-fect Posies Paper Collection shown on card
sample and trim to fit slightly smaller than card base. Using Ranger Archival
Ink – Deep Purple, ink all edges with Stack and Store Dauber. Adhere to card

Circle & Basis Small Die, cut out circular center image. Set illustration

length of the card and just slightly larger than the premade card panel. Ink
all edges on both pieces using Ranger Archival Ink – Deep Purple.
Using a circle die slightly larger than the size used
to cut out premade card panel center, die cut a circle window from clear
cardstock. Using the same circle size you used to die cut the premade card
panel center, as well as the size you just used to cut the clear cardstock,
place the smaller circle die within the larger and die cut several circles from
craft foam. Using foam circle to gauge where you want your sentiment, use MISTI
to stamp sentiment onto premade card panel using Ranger Archival Ink – Deep
Purple. Using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive, glue the two foam circles
together. Next, using the same center circle from the combination you just
used, pair it with the eyelet border circle to create a frame from white card
stock. Using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and hydra sponge, add Rajni Chawla’s
Crystal Clear to eyelet circle frame. Next, again using Designer Dries Clear
Adhesive, adhere die cut foam circle pieces over sentiment where shaker portion
of cards will be placed. Adhere clear window die cut to white eyelet card
frame. Add sequins, seed beads and small beads to shaker portion over
sentiment. Adhere clear window frame on top of circular foam layer using. Set
aside to dry.
Die cut two of the decorative pocket accents from the
Regal Pocket Accents Die. Using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and hydra sponge,
add Rajni Chawla’s Crystal Clear to each. Set aside to dry.
Stamp two inkings of each size posies from the
Purr-fect Posies Cling Stamp Set onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper using Ranger
Archival Ink – Magenta Hue and Deep Purple. Color the posy centers with Stack
and Store Daubers using Ranger Archival Ink – Buttercup, the purple flower petals
with Ranger Archival Ink – Majestic Violet, and the pinkish flower petals with
Ranger Archival Ink – Pink Peony. Stamp two inkings of the posy foliage from
the Purr-fect Posies Cling Stamp Set onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper using
Ranger Archival Ink – Olive. Color using Stack and Store Daubers and Ranger
Archival Ink – Leaf Green. Die cut all posies and foliage pieces using
coordinating dies. Place in 3D Purr-fect Posies Shaping Mold, spritz lightly
with water and pass through die cutting machine to shape. Set aside to dry.
Stamp kitten image from Playful Miss Kitty onto smooth
white water color paper using Ranger Archival Ink – Jet Black. Stamp one of the
large draping posy plant image from the Purring & Playful Cling Stamp Set.
Water color all images using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and water color
brush. Die cut each using the coordinating dies.
Adhere shaker portion of card to pink patterned
background matting using dimensional foam tape. Adhere decorative pocket die
cuts to card base as shown, and then add shaker portion to card base using
dimensional foam tape.
To assemble floral cluster, adhere draping posy plant
alongside card as shown allowing one of the blossoms to drape near the
sentiment. Next position stamped and die cut kitten image and adhere to card
base using dimensional pop dots. Add posy flowers over top posy plant as shown,
as well as around kitten die cut. Add several flowers around bottom and
