Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations...

 Good morning my friends and welcome!  I'm here this Wednesday morning to share a card made using Heartfelt Creations products.  You can find my card in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery with all the details.  


My finished card is 5" X 7".  Start with Gateway Fold card and using pieces of sheets 6A, 1B and 4A from the paper collection, cover the different pages of the card.  You can choose the papers that make you happy.




Cut two of the Teardrop Lattice Gateway die; one in white and one in silver and layer so just a bit of the silver shows through behind the white die.  Glue together and glue to card front.  I used the Eyelet Frame Gateway Die to cut the paper to fit the other pages behind the front cover of the card.  

Stamp the Elegant Rose Sentiment using French Ultramarine blue three times onto white cardstock.  Cut out with coordinating die.  I cut the words out of the die cut and glued together.  The three layers really gives this piece height and detail.  Glue to the card.  

Stamp the flowers using Cantaloupe Memento ink and color with layers of color using Dandelion, Sunflower, Goldenrod and Rhubarb Stalk inks.  Cut out with coordinating dies.  Lay onto mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine.  Stamp the leaves with Leaf Green ink and color with Vivid Chartruese and edge with olive.  Cut out with coordinating dies and lay onto the mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine.  Lay out onto the desk to dry. When leaves and flowers are dry use Crystal Lacquer and a brush to paint the petals and leaves and allow to dry.  When dry layer two flower petals together and add Prills to the centers.  Decide on placement on the card front and use hot glue to glue down. 


 I hope you like this card...I had so much fun creating it.  I do love these beautiful sunflowers!

Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations....

Good morning friends.  I'm here this Wednesday morning to share another card with you using Heartfelt Creations products!  You can find my card in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery.   


Using the Simple Centerpiece Dies make the shaped card. Cover with a piece of Sheet 6A of the paper collection.

Cut out the Elegant Hearts Centerpiece dies using white cardstock.  Glue to the card front then set aside. 

Stamp the flower petals onto the Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper in Rose Madder ink and color using Buttercup and Pink Peony then cut out using coordinating dies.  Stamp the leaves in Leaf Green ink onto Deluxe Flower Shaping paper then color using Pink Peony and Vivid Chartreuse and cut out with coordinating dies.  Edge the leaves with Olive ink.  Lay the petals and leaves onto the mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine.  Lay out onto the desk to dry.  When dry use the Golf Tool to punch a hole in the center and curl the edges under.  Thread through the stamens and use hot glue to hold in place.  I used two petals to form one flower.  

Stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock with Rose Madder ink and cut out with the Banner die and use dimensional tape to adhere to card front.  Next decide on placement of the flowers and leaves and glue down.  The card is finished.

Can You Handle The Pressure...Anything Goes with a Twist of Birdhouse/Bird...

Good Monday Morning my friends and it is also Memorial Day today!  I have been having so much fun playing along with the Can You Handle The Pressure Challenge since it started.  Now that Heartfelt Creations is closing I only have two more months to post as a member of the Design Team so I find myself looking for cards to make.  I do plan to start making Mini Albums and Folios again but for now I'm just hanging out playing along with this challenge.  Why don't you come join the fun!  


Recently I spent a few days making flowers and leaves with various flower stamps and dies and these are a few of those paired with a sweet little birdhouse and bird.  All Heartfelt Creations supplies except for the lovely embossing folder which is one of the Anna Griffin folders (Ornate Quatrefoil)

I didn't use a sentiment because at this point I'm not going to use this card but when I need it all I have to do is add a sentiment banner and off it goes.  I hope you enjoy this card as much as I have enjoyed making it.

Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations....

Good morning my friends and welcome to my Wednesday post!  I'm here this morning to post another Heartfelt Creations card using the  Floral Sentiments Collection. I made a slimline card with a cut out for the sentiment to show through. You can find my card in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery   All the products used are listed there.


My card base is 4" X 9" and I used the Deluxe Flower Shaping paper because it is a perfect weight for cardmaking.  Make card base and cover inside and out with pieces of 1B of the paper collection.  Using a die from the set cut out an opening in the front of the card.  Cover the cut out piece with a piece of Sheet 3A of the paper collection and glue to the inside of the card.  This then becomese the piece that will hold the sentiment. Stamp the sentiment in Rose Madder and cut out 3 times and glue together so the piece is very dimensional.  Glue to the inside panel.

Stamp the flower petals onto Deluxe Flower Shaping paper using Rose Madder and color the centers with Buttercup and the edges with Rose Madder.  Cut out using coordinating dies, lay onto the mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine.  Turn out onto the desk to dry.  When dry add Prills to the center and allow to dry.  I glued two petals together to make the flowers.

Stamp the leaves in Leaf Green, color with Vivid Chartruese and cut out with coordinating dies.  Edge the leaves with Olive ink, lay onto the mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine.  Turn out onto the desk to dry.

Die cut the Slim Elegant Rectangle Die out of white cardstock and glue to the card front. Decide on placement of flowers and leaves and use hot glue to glue down.  Dilute some Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and paint with a brush onto the petals and sprinkle with glitter.  Allow to dry and the card is finished.

Amazing Friend...Can You Handle the Pressure Challenge...

Good morning friends and welcome.  I'm here sharing another card for the Can You Handle the Pressure Challenge.   I have a few embossing folders but never seemed to use them and this challenge has me looking through them trying to find just the right one for making a new card.  The challenge this time is "Anything Goes with a Twist of Floral" and it's right up my alley!


I used a coating of light blue ink to the inside of the folder to color the background and I think it is just beautiful.  The flowers and little bird are from Heartfelt Creations.  

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it!

Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations....

Good morning my friends and welcome!  I'm here again to share another Heartfelt Creations card made with the Floral Sentiments Collection. This is a great collection for making a card and I find myself reaching for it again and again!  You can find my card in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery for all the details for making one for yourself.  


My finished card size is 5" X 7".  Make card base using Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper.  Cover with a piece of Sheet 3B of the paper collection.

Die cut two of the Simply Classic Oval Frame Die and glue together.  Add to card front using dimensional tape.  

Stamp the Special Floral Sentiment Cling stamp 2 times.  Once in Leaf Green, once in Vibrant Fushia.  Cut out using the coordinating dies.  Color the green piece using Vivid Chartreuse and add glitter using a mix of the two glitters.  Set aside to dry.  Color the flowers on the pink piece and then use a scissors to cut off the flowers.  Glue them over the green piece and allow to dry.  Glue the pink sentiment center to the green piece and then use the die to cut out a gold "Special" word and glue over the pink word.  

Stamp the little butterflies using Vibrant Fushia onto vellum and cut out using coordinating die.  Cut out the little pink butterfly from where we stamped the pink piece and adhere the vellum butterfly to that.  Glue onto the green stamped image.  

Adhere this piece to the card front using dimensional tape.  The card is finished.  It's a quick and easy card that packs a punch!
