Glory To God...

Good morning all, hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday. Just thought I'd do a quick post, just to share this newest card.

For some reason, I love snowman images. I think they are the cutest and probably the easiest to work with. You don't have to toss back and forth on what shade of color you will use on them, just leave them all white (lol).
Card Details:
Image: TAC Stamp
Paper: DS Paper (TAC), Stock Paper (SU)
Accessories: Gold Metallic Fringe, Clear Embossing Powder, Dew Drops & Pop Dots
Ink: SU Markers, SU Ink Pads, Versa Craft (black)
Sentiment: TAC Stamp

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by. Aloha!~

Jesus is the reason...

Okay, okay, okay...I'm sorry, I played hooky yesterday. My intentions were to post my new cards however, my girls and I got caught up with cleaning and prepping our home for our Christmas tree and our holiday decor. The finishing touch is ALWAYS our family's nativity set. Which I thought was such a perfect setting for my cards.

First of all, I am so very proud of ME, hee-hee (I say this humbly). This is my very, very first ever, in my three years of stamping, ever, ever...creating anything in multiples. Never have I ever created ANYTHING and duplicated it. This is really, really my first time. Do you believe me, by now (lol)!?! I'm sure there's many of you that are the same way. Honestly, I've just never had the patience to duplicate the process and always just wanted to rush on to the next project. Until... I came across a stamping sister's blog, and was so inspired. Most, if not all, of her cards are done by sets. Such beautifully created cards, I tell you. I just had to give it a try. So thank you to Cheryl of God and I on The Railroadtracks for being such an inspiration and a sweetie.

Well what can I say...there are many reasons why I love the Christmas holiday, but first and far most is because of what it truly stands for...the birth of our Lord and Savior...JESUS. Which is why, I decided to select this next image. It fits so perfectly.
Pop Dots were used behind the little drummer boy's and each one of the animal's heads. Puffy Velvet was also used for the wool of the lamb (sorry photo is not clear).

TADAAAAAAAAAH...here's my first set ever created (I guess you probably got that by now, huh!?! lol). This set actually consists of (4) cards but I didn't have space to display all four. Just in case you're wondering...the photos were taken in front of our nativity set so, the little hand above the top card belongs to Joseph. It's not mine (hee, hee). When I looked at the completed card I then tossed back and forth, whether I should use more embellishments at the lower right corner but, quickly decided NOPE! Why??? Because...over embellishing will take from the image and the message behind that image.

Card Details:

Image: High Hopes "My Best for Him..." ( Little C's )

Paper: DS Paper (3 Bugs in a Rug-Little C's ), Stock Paper (SU)

Accessories: CB Embossing Folder, Fiber Yarn, Ribbon, Clear Embossing Powder, Puffy Velvet & Pop Dots

Ink: SU Markers, SU Ink Pads, Versa Craft (black)

Sentiment: TAC Stamp

Thanks for stopping by and blessing me with your visit. God Bless~

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone and...Gobble, Gobble!!!

No posting today. Off to have a beautiful day with my family....and...the turkey...and... lots of pumpkin pies...yum, yum, yum.

Above all, may you have a wonderful day in Jesus. Have a "Thankful" heart for not what you have, only for today, but for eternity. Always keep close to your heart, what was done on the Cross. Pray for our men and women of our armed forces who aren't home with their families, on this day, because they are off fighting, to keep our country safe. Praise God for all the volunteers that are out at this very moment, serving and spending their Thanksgiving with the homeless. Most importantly pray for your husband and children (or if a single parent...for you and your children), because "Home" is where it all begins.

I appreciate all of you. The blessing that you are to me, is unmeasurable. Your talent, your friendship & sisterhood, and...your love. Thank you, thank you, thank you and Jesus loves YOU!

See you all tomorrow, with my first Christmas cards. Yep, I know...I'm behind (I think). I won't be out shopping. Instead, I chose to create. YAHOO!!!

Not One but...Twooooooo Awards. Oh My...

Yep, you're reading correctly. Not one but two awards have been awarded to Heartful Stamping. Wow, wow, wow...what can I say except that I again, am so honored. Thanks so much to my new friend and sister in Blogland, Shirley over at Card Art, Etc. for this great blessing. She has such a special gift in creating and it's very evident in her cards. A very elegant touch. "Mahalo Nui Loa" (as we would say in Hawaii) Shirley.

Now, one of the great things about receiving BOTH awards from Shirley is that BOTH are for 8 people and all of the same rules below apply. Just as given to me, I in turn will award several (although there are many) sisters who have been an inspiration to me, BOTH AWARDS.

This first award is in Portuguese (how cool!!!). Please see below for translation.This second one well, it explains itself. How beautiful it is.The rules are:
1). Display the award on your site.
2). Put a link to the person who sent you the award.
3). Give the award to 8 more people.
4). Notify them of receiving the award.
5). Advise them to pick it up at your site.

Following is the translation of the Portuguese words and the rules for the award:
"This blog award invests and believes in proximity -(creating friendships)!" [meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' -being close through proxy]. These are the other words to be included with the award:

These blogs are exceedingly charming. These bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbon of these awards are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these bloggers!

Deliver this award to 8 bloggers who must choose 8 more and include this written text into the body of their award.

"Award" recipients and sisters that inspires me are: (again, there are many, many, many)
1). Jen from Pieces of Me & Little C's... Of course I couldn't leave Jen out, she has always been there to encourage, inspire, and take those (many) baby steps with me. She still continues to build me up, always showing and displaying the many possibilities. You want a good laugh!?! check out her blog. Better yet, check out her many blogs (lol). She is one of many gifted sisters.

2). Teri from Big Ideas From A Little Girl... Who has also been there (as mentioned before) since my infant stages of stamping. Her creativity and the elegance of her creations, inspires me and many others, daily. She's always giving of herself and her talents. Attend her workshops and you'll see...and don't forget to introduce yourself to Wini. Teri's other half, next to her DH, of course (lol).

3). Joy from A place to be me... If you're looking for great project ideas, encouragement, or just some true inspiration, check out Joy. In my eyes, this sister takes on challenges in creating and makes it look so simple. Her projects OMGosh, are stunning. She has a very special friend, that we all NEED to get to know (lol), which is why she is my next recipient.

4). Enjoli from Stamping Under the Sun...Talk about cute bags...I've been so blessed by Enjoli's creations posted on Joy's blog. Which then, directed me back to hers. She has some very nice and cute stuff. Go on over and check her out. Try and make friends with her because...she sends out some cool RAK's, ask Joy (hee,hee). We all NEED to make Enjoli our "Friend" (lol).

5). Marie from Aloha and Mabuhay!... Oh my, if there is anyone, who's work will inspire me and my love for embellishing, Marie's cards will do it. She puts those embellishments to work. Pop on over to visit her and you will see for yourself.

6). Maria from Stampin Inspirations by Maria & Card Inspired by Maria... Maria probably has tons of these Awards lying around somewhere. Because her work is BEAUTIFUL! Very, very BEAUTIFUL! Before I had my own blog, I would "Stalk" her from Jen's blog. Now, that I have my own, I now "Stalk" her from mine (hee, hee).

7). Michelle from Mushi's Creative Inspirations...is another talented sister with projects. I was so blessed to have had her pop in and introduce herself. When I think of the Portuguese Award, Michelle was right in there.

8). Jean from Stamping Spot Studio...is another sister with such beauty in her cards and scrapbook pages. I admire her work. Check out her blog and you will see why.

Each one of these ladies have something very special. Not only in their creations but most importantly (whether they are from Hawaii or Hawaii at heart), exemplifying the Aloha spirit. It's evident that they deserve to be acknowledged for their gift of creativity. But above all, when it comes to the "Portuguese Award", building friendships, is second nature for these ladies. So please pop in to visit and show them some love. It will come right back to you! Till then...

A L O O O O O O O O O O H A!!!

and the winner is...MALIETA (RISA) of... "LIFE'S SIMPLE PLEASURES"

Thank you everyone for playing along. Once again, you were ALL very much appreciated. Hope to see you the next time around, if not, sooner. God Bless!

Friend...

It's A L O H A Friday everyone and the weekend has just begun, at least in our home. Because we homeschool, the Principal (my DH) and I, decided to give our girls the day off from school today. It's been a really busy week for them (educationally), and they have been in such good spirits throughout, that we wanted to reward them. So...they are off meaning, I am off...YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!! Okay enough, now let's get on with business (l0l).

Today's featured card is another "Blast from the Past". Again, some of you may remember (a little while back), this card too, was shared through Little C's Gallery. So, I thought I'd bless those that have not yet seen it. For those of you that have, I bless you, all over again.

I just loved working with these colors. I think they work so well with the Sarah Kay images. This SK image is Margaux Is Painting.

Now...

Here we have an Angel Mama, from Whipper Snapper Stamps. I recently posted this same image, in a different layout, different color combo. But...I think I like this one better, hmmmmmmm!?! I dunno, what do you think??? Okay, well as you can tell, I used CB Embossing Folder for the background. I just love those folders. They just add a different look to whatever you create. In my opinion, it brings it to a whole different level. DS Paper, hmmm...sorry, I don't recall where it was, I purchased it from. Again, I played with my Puffy Velvet pen to add a little dimension to the bubbles and also used a Pop Dot behind her head, so it protrudes out. I used my oval Nestibilities and my Oval Punches. The sentiment was computer generated, reading..."Cherish All Your Happy Moments" (sorry it's not too clear). Added some ribbon and...Tah Dah!!!

Here's a little (or shall I say...,huge, lol) up close shot of the bubbles. I forgot to mention, SU Markers were used for the coloring.

Card Details:

Stamps: Whipper Snapper ( Little C's )

As always...thank you for visiting today. Be Blessed!

Spring Time Hanna...Near Christmas Time, Huh!?!

Oh, Oh...OMGosh, silly ol' me. Only now, this very moment, I realized that I did not place a sentiment on this card. Although there are many, that I intentionally leave blank, this was not one of them. Do you believe, I didn't even take notice, while hubby was taking the photo. Hmmmm...I must be going through mentalpause (hee,hee...only kidding).

At first when creating this card, I had no clue as to what I was trying to achieve. All I know, is that I wanted to play with my Spring Time Hanna stamp set (and yes I know, I know...we are nearing Christmas but...), along with my almost new Fluffy Ewenice from High Hopes. (Both images were purchased from Little C's).

Let's see, first the sky and the grassy hills were created by dabbing, with a sponge. I then, paper pieced Hanna's skirt and...

used Puffy Velvet to create the fluff for Ewenice's wool. I also used (as you can see), CB Embossing Folder for the background, (TAC) DS Paper and Ribbons. All Inks and Markers are from SU.

I am actually pleased on how this card turned out (except for the missing sentiment-lol). Hope you enjoy it, as well.

Thank you for stopping by...have a blessed day!!!

Thinking of You...

Aloha Everyone! Happy Tuesday! Here's a card I thought I'd share with you. It happens to be one of my favorites, which I had created a little while ago for the Little C's Gallery . Some of you may be familiar with it and may have even shared your kind comments on it. However...now that Heartful Stamping is in existence, gives me a good enough reason to showcase it for the rest of you.

I love my Hanna Stamps . Yep... EVERYONE of them. If only there were more hours in the day, I would put those Hanna's to some serious work...burn rubber and... create, create, create (like I'm sure all of you, probably would, right!?! Don't be shy...). On this card...is "Cafe Hanna", sportin' an all glittered dress.

Along with her dress, she also sports an all glittered head band with an orange gem stone attached to it.

Glitter was also used to decorate the brad, holding the prima flowers. As well as, on the matting for the sentiment.

Card Details:
Stamps: "Cafe Hanna" (Little C's)
Paper: SU Cardstock
Accessories: CB Embossing Folder, Nestibilities, Prima Flowers, Ribbon, Martha Stuart (ultra fine) Glitter, Brad, Gem Stone, Pop Dots.
Sentiment: SU
Ink: SU Markers

I look forward to sharing the rest of my creations, previously made, with you. For a quick peek, hop on over to "My Card Gallery" slide show and enjoy. Thank you and have a beautiful day!

Okay, okay, okay...I Care...

Just because I care...I have to be truthful and tell you that I did not create this card, all by myself. I had a lot of help from none other but... Jen of Pieces of Me. She really deserves the credit. I just assisted by selecting the DS paper and attaching the sentiment with pop dots and a gold cord. My part was sooooooooo easy. A piece of cake, wouldn't you say!?! Thanks Jen!!!

Stamps: Whipper Snapper (Little C's )

Everything Is Meaningful...

Happy Friday everyone (in Hawaii we say...It's Aloha Friday!!!). Wow, how the week just flies by. Yesterday, was such a busy day in our household, it took a lot (like my 4 year old), to keep me away from my laptop. Before I knew it, my husband was home from work and the day was almost near an end. Wow, where did my day go??? Boo hoo hoo...no posting.

Well, I decided to post this card today because I was in an orange mood. This is another image from Whipper Snapper Stamps, that I fell in love with. I just had to put it to use. It was a fairly easy card to work on and I love embellishing. So here is the finished product.

Card Details:
Stamps: Whipper Snapper (Little C's )
Paper: DS paper (TAC)
Accessories: CB Embossing Folder, Prima Flowers, Ribbon, Pop Dots

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by. Much Mahalo

BLOG CANDY GIVE AWAY...COMING SOON!

In celebration of our 1000+ hits in the very first week, of being in Blogland, we will soon be giving away some yummy candy. So please be on the look out for details, soon to come.

Before I go any further...HAPPY VETERANS DAY, to all of our Vets. Give a Vet a hug today and tell him/her "Thank you" for serving our Country.

Now...Today's card features Kiss The Cook Hanna. Which was CASED and inspired by Candice of Rubbah Soul. I liked what I saw and decided to give it a try. Honestly, I am actually pleased with the color selection. For those of you who knows me (and those who will soon come to know me), my favorite colors to work with are earth tones, greens, & purples. But I must say, I'm glad I stepped outside of my little circle of tones and went with this shade. It's kinda hard to tell (I'm sorry) but the spaghetti bowl is 3D, attached by a pop dot and the decorative staple holding the ribbon reads..."Sweet".

Card Details:
Stamps: Kiss the Cook Hanna, Cafe Hanna (Little C's )
Paper: DS paper (TAC)
Accessories: CB Embossing Folder "D'vine Swirl", Ribbon, Decorative Staple, Pop Dots
Technique: Paper Pieced

Thank you for visiting and have a Blessed day!

It's a "Rainy Day" but... (updated:)

Not in Hawaii. It is sooooooo beautiful outside. The sun, with the palm trees swaying. OMGosh, it's such a nice day. If only I had my camera on hand. Oh well anyways...Happy Sunday everyone. Today will be an awesome day in the Lord (as always). But we are on our way out the door, to church. I just wanted to hurry and quickly post my recent card, for you all to see. Details to follow, when we return home. Thanks for stopping by, Aloha!

Creating this card, brought me back to when I was a little girl and we use to make our own paper dolls/clothes. Boy, those were the days. Anyhow...it's Rainy Day Hanna (from Little C's ) in which I paper pieced her clothing with DS paper (from TAC). Embossed the back ground using CB embossing Folder: bloom dots and used the flower & circle punch (from SU!). To touch it off, I added a Prima Flower (also from Little C's ) and another mini flower created out of the DS paper.

Supplies: "Rainy Day Hanna", CB Embossing Folder: Bloom Dots, & Prima Flowers (all purchased from Jen at Little C's). DS paper (TAC), Flower & Circle punch (SU!)

Again...thank you so much for stopping in. Have a blessed day~

"Whiff of Joy" Blog Candy...

Candy, candy, candy...yummy...I found fantastic WOJ stamps, along with some other goodies, up for grabs. But you'll have to hurry, deadline is ...Nov. 11. Stop in over at Bev's Blog for the details. Good Luck!!!

Picnic anyone???

Okay here is my last Sarah Kay (I think...). If you haven't guessed by now, I am a great fan of the "SK" images. Can you tell??? OMGosh...is that a huge, gigantic yellow spot I see, at the upper left corner? Oh please tell me "No". Okay...let's just pretend it's not there (lol). Anyhow...this card was (as usual) fun to do. The image Picnic of Daisies, can be purchased at Little C's along with the Prima Flowers. In the center of the flower, two pearls were added to spiral wires with the sentiment hanging off of one. This layout was actually taken from a previous card I had created for... Little C's Home .
Supplies: Sarah Kay "Picnic of Daisies", & Prima Flowers (purchased from Little C's Stamps n' Things), Sentiment, Window Punch, Corner Punch, Oval Punch, & DS Paper (SU).

By the way...before I go, I MUST share with you all about my "Hot" date I had last night. OMGosh, it was amazing, it was unbelievable. Well... first of all, it started with a phone call from Jen . Inviting me to Cirque du Soleil - Saltimbanco. Without hesitation, I accepted but of course, checked with my DH first. I was so excited when he said..."Sure, go and enjoy but...be safe". You see, the excitement wasn't only because he was okay with me going. It was more so, because he was willing (without hesitation) to sit in, on my behalf, at our daughter's Girls Scout meeting, so that I can go on my date. Wow...what a Man!

Although it wasn't my DH, I could not have asked for any better date(s) than Jen and our other stamping sister Barb. It was awesome! The cast, the costumes, & the movements. If any of you have ever attended one of their productions, you will know what I'm talking about. We left there in awe. I remember, when I use to be able to tumble around just like them (back in the days...long, long, long ago...like 100lbs. ago...hee,hee). After returning home, I was so inspired and motivated that I considered showing my DH and daughters, some new moves I had learned from watching the cast. But...I quickly changed my mind, when I thought of the serious injury I could cause to myself, if not, them (lol). Oh well...maybe next time.

Thank you CY3 (Jen 's DH) for the tickets, we really enjoyed it! Most importantly, thanks all, for stopping to visit. Have a very blessed day!

Painting We Shall Go...

"Marguax is Painting"...yep, another Sarah Kay image for you. This time I added a few stitches, used 3D lacquer/glaze on my image (sorry, it's kinda hard to tell), SU's slit punch to create scallop, a designer brad, and prima flowers. I love this turquoise color, you think!?! Well...I hope you're enjoying this ride with my Sarah Kay's. Because ummmmmm...I actually have a few more to share with you (lol). But...it may have to wait until later. Till then, thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day in Jesus!
Supplies: Sarah Kay "Marguax is Painting", Cuttlebug Embossing: Swiss Dots, Prima Flowers, 3D lacquer/glaze, & Pop Dots (purchased from Little C's Stamps n' Things), Sentiment, Circle Punch, & Slit Punch (SU), DS Paper (TAC).

Sisters are Forever

How precious is this stamp, another one of my favorites from Sarah Kay. I guess because I have little girls (oops...I mean "Princesses") of my own, I really took to this one.
Supplies: Sarah Kay "Little Help from Margot", DCWV Paper, and Pop Dots (purchased at.... Little C's). Sentiment (computer generated).

I'm so blessed you stopped by. Have an awesome evening!

You're So Special

Aloha all…oh my GOSH!!! I am so humbled by all of you who took the time to pop in and give a shout. You don’t know how blessed I truly feel. So encouraged! It’s been about two days now, since entering into blogland, and i’ve learned so much (I feel) in just that short time. But what can I say, I have one of the best & most patient teachers. Thanks to my BFF & sister…Jen of Pieces of Me, “Heartful Stamping” was created.

By the way...
Happy Election Day!!! (is there such a celebration??? of course there is...). Celebrate being an American, celebrate the "Freedom" we are so blessed to have, celebrate your right to be heard and hope you went to...vote, vote, vote!

On with my newest card..
Created with one of my favorite Sarah Kay images (Precious Moments), this one was kinda fun to work on. I have this thing with Browns, Earth Tones, etc...so this is what I came up with.

Initially I intended to attach the sentiment, using Pop Dots. Instead, I decided to use hinges, adding a little swing to it. That ended up being fun to do. As for the coloring, I don't recall the exact shades used. Please, please forgive me.

Well...thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed your visit. Have a blessed evening!



Supplies: Sarah Kay Image, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, & Hinges (all purchased from Jen at Little C's). DP & Sentiment (from SU).
