Scrapbooking Layout using Heartfelt Creations' Tropical Paradise collection

Hello! Kim here again today shining our CSM spotlight on a company that is dear to our hearts, Heartfelt Creations! I hope to share some fun facts about this family company as well as a layout using their Tropical Paradise collection, just one of many favourite product lines they create.WHO THEY ARE

This lovely family owned company got started in 1997 by Linda Bontrager, wearer of many hats: CEO, main artist, passionate scrapbooker, stamper, mother, wife…the list is long! I encourage you to read Linda’s fascinating letter about discovering and growing her passion for her creative life and family!

I have always sensed that passion and love runs this company, even before taking the time to learn more about them, as women we often have good intuition! My thoughts are validated when I read this: “We exist to dynamically inspire, uplift, and add value to each person that comes in contact with our creative inspiration and crafts.” Those are company values we can all get used to in 2017!

WHAT THEY DO

If you are not familiar with Heartfelt Creations, they create designer papers, co-coordinating stamps and detailed dies! Combined you have all the tools needed to create timeless cards for giving, scrapbooking pages to preserve memories or work “off the page” to create some altered art!

CREATIVE THERAPY

When life gets crazy and chaotic…take a time out with a Heartfelt Creation collection! It’s the perfect creative therapy! If you have a hard time knowing how to use some of the product or what to learn new ways of using them, this company has you covered! They have wonderful video tutorials, a blog full of inspiration and a creative team that has it figured out!

I am blessed with a nice collection of Heartfelt products and can honestly say I’d find it hard to pick a favourite, though I am “crushing” on the new “Young at Heart” collection!

TROPICAL PARADISE COLLECTION

I put together this layout using the Tropical Paradise collection, I love the colours, flowers, leaves, birds…and of course they all play so well together!

Heartfelt Creations 3d flowers created with stamps and dies / ornate border die / Tropical paradise collection — Close up of the flower embellishments and ornate border. I used little micro beads for the centres.

Heartfelt Creations Tropical Paradise collection / fussy cut for embellishments / layer love — More close ups…the birds were fussy cut from some of the paper in the collection.

Heartfelt Creations Tropical Paradise collection / embellishments from stamped images / diecutting / co-ordinated products love — Combination of stamps, dies and paper used for these embellishments…the bird was die cut from the patterned paper! How smart is that!

Heartfelt Creations stamps, dies and shaping kit / tools the trade / Tropical themed products — These are the stamps, dies and shaping kit I used with Tropical Paradise papers.
