A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

THINKING OF YOU

Hi Everyone

I hope your week has got off to a good start.

Quite a bit of my time has been spent on re-arranging my craft pod .. .. .. I am nowhere near finished yet and already I can't find everything I am looking for LOL!!

Just jumping in and out of blogland  quickly tonight with a make I finished today:




This used:

Sizzix:  3-D Embossing Folder "662716" Botanical
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set "664163" Wildflower Stems #1
Sentiment:  Digistamp Boutique (sadly no longer trading .. .. boo hoo!!!)
Border Die:  The Works
Distress Inks:  Speckled Egg, Peeled Paint and Fossilized Amber
Gold Gilding Wax
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine

Apologies if you are getting fed up with seeing this die set and embossing folder, but I love them soooo much!!

.. .. .. and that is me for today.

Catch you again soon.

Shasta daisies, I love these big bold stems of pure happiness. Really like the contrasting background with the gilding and rich gold trim... it's a very elegant looking card.

Take care Jules, stay safe n snug x

Brilliant card on all counts - loving the embossing folder and the colours chosen and you already know how much I enjoy the TH wild flower dies - might have to CASE this one!! Good luck with your rearranging.

Stay safe.

Wow! This is beautiful...what fabulous colours, they all go together so well and that little touch of opulence with the gold wax and border die. I can quite see why you love the embossing folder and dies. Also you must have a staging flower that co-ordinates with every card you make. As for the craft room...its funny how moving stuff around confuses the creative brain. I still haven't found my proper wobblers!..lol xx

I love that embossing, and the border you used. Again, so elegant! Organization.....it's get worse before it gets better. Hugs, Brenda

I'm afraid to tidy my craftroom, I know where everything is at the moment (or do I). I love this gorgeous card, it had a wonderful vintage feel to it.
