Shaker pocket Gift card holders

Getting ready for my month of fall craft shows and have these cute shaker pocket gift card holders ready to sell!!  The middle is a full pocket so you can put a lot into it .... like money, lottery tickets, gift card, full size candy bar, small gifts etc.  I have included a small note card to add your personal message and an envelope.  Yes (depending on what you put inside them) they can be sent in the mail!!  The shaker pieces are in the front section of the pocket.

I used all Heartfelt Creations supplies for these.  Love using there papers and images and the dies cut so nice with such detail.

Come see them this Saturday at my first show at Lake Catholic High School in Mentor on Rt 306 from 9-3.

Sunflower Easel Card

This past week I have been making so many cards that are different folds than a standard A2 to sell at markets, stores and craft shows.  I get caught in a cycle of one type of paper and keep making more and more cards using just that collection.  I will be showing you only A FEW of the card I made using the Heartfelt Creations Sunflower Collection in the next few days.  I usually embellish with Crystal Lacquer, Wink of Stella, ribbons, dies and mounted layers.  On this one I also added some fancy dies from Our Daily Bread Collection along with the stamp words on the base by them.

Stamp-a-Stack Winking Frogs

 I am loving making cards form the Heartfelt Creations papers!  These are the cutest cards I think I have ever made.  I am also planning another Stamp-a-Stack with actually NO stamping in it at all for Monday Oct 10 and again Saturday October 15 from 1-4:30 at my church in Mentor.  I created 8 cards using Heartfelt Creations Winking Frogs papers with 3 having pockets for gift cards etc (if you prefer), one larger square card, and 5 being different folds.  I haven't figures the cost yet since I am playing with the idea of giving you the extras from the papers I use but it will be between $25-28.  I will need to know the number attending by the middle of Sept so I can get the papers ordered.  So let me know if you are interested in this class also.

Owl Card in a Box

 Happy April!!!


I made and sold so many of these card in a box cards last year that I took a vacation from making them!! LOL  I started making them again a couple of weeks ago and have over 25 made so far and will make more getting ready for this year's farmer market season.  They fold flat so they can be mailed.  I love the way this one came out.  I colored the stamped owls with Copic markers and applied Crystal Lacquer on the eyes so they would pop out more (like an owl!).

Tri-Easel Flower Photo Card

Happy Spring!!  This tri-easel card features some of my photos of flowers.  I am making these for sale at the markets this summer and can create a personal one with your personal photos if you like.  I will need three photos that can be cropped into a minimum of  3 -
3 1/4" square.  I would need at least a week to complete it.  Colors will have to match the photos.

I'm here!

Hi Everyone! Happy Easter!!! I had computer challenges and it took me a while to figure out how to get everything working together again.... all better now.  Sorry it has been so long since I posted.  I would like to have a shout out to see how many people are reading this to see if I should continue.  I only had one person notify me that she missed me.  So please post a "hi" in the comments if you would like me to continue to post what I have been making.  Thanks!!  Also, if you are one of my local stampers let me know if you would be interested in a spring stamping event May 7 or May 14. 

I have been making all kinds of fun cards for preparation for the markets opening in May!!  I will be doing the Willoughby Farmer's Marktet on Saturdays from 8-noon starting in May till the end of Sept. and the Mentor Market on Fridays from 2-6:30 starting in June.

This is one of the new types of cards I have been making. They are  tri-easel card.  I put three of my own photos on the card and heart felt words with embellishments.  They fold down and I have an envelope that it can be mailed in included.  They are approximately 4 1/4 x 10 1/4" in size.  You can sign your own words on the back of the card.

Step Anniversary Card

Here is a special order I made for a customer to give to a couple for their 25th wedding anniversary.  I used the step die from Sizzix, the heart dies are from Spellbinders, the flowers and leaves are from Heartfelt Creations.  I love the way it came out. 

Fields of wheat

I used die from Spellbinders of wheat in a double layer for this card with birds (from Heartfelt Designs) and leaves (from a punch) for this card in a box.

Butterfly Card in a Box

This card in a box was made with butterflies from Hunkydory, leaves are from a die from Our Daily Bread Designs and the followers are from vellum from a die from Heartfelt Creations. 

Fall tree with Bridhouse

This fall tree with a swinging birdhouse and birds is made with Jillian Stamps dies, birds are from Heartfelt Creations and the leaves are a small punch.  The words are a from a set called Forest Words.  It will be available at the markets this weekend.

Center Step - Birds on a Wire

Please forgive the next batch of photos, I forgot to take them at home so I took them at my market with my iphone.  The photos are not too bad but the backgrounds are really busy, sorry.  This is a center step card made from a Sizzix die.  It will be fun to play with since it has ALOT of extra dies to decorate it with.  The ones here are not from the set, I have not had the time to play with them yet.  I decorateded it with the leaf vine die from Our Daily Bread Designs, small flowers and leaves from Birds and Bloom collection of Heartfelt Creations, and the birds on a wire die from Die-namites. 

I now have a Facebook page, ritasangelicimpressions, where you can go to see what I am making to sell.  Please go and 'like' me if you want.

Side step card - Blue floral with dragonfly

Wow I have been so busy making cards that I have not had time to take photos of them all.  I did take a few today and will get some projects posted.  If you have not come to visit me at the farmers markets yet you should ... great produce now and I have lots of cards and photos that are new.  I have been playing a lot with my new Sizzix die to make side step cards and really like this one.  This die has 23 dies in it and is so versatile.  Here I used printed paper and words from Our Daily Bread Designs, dragon fly die from Elizabeth Craft Designs, Flowers from Heartfelt Creations and leaves are from Sizzix.
