Heartfelt Creations Special : Art FoamPaper and Stamens.....

Good morning everyone.  There is frost on the pumpkins in many of the areas close by this morning.  Definitely a feel of Fall in the air!  I have to say I love this time of year and welcome not having so much outside work to be done!

This morning I'm sharing a couple of cards made with the Heartfelt Creations Foam Paper Flowers and Stamens!  I love these wonderful products and hope to have more time to play soon!

You can watch this video on using the Foam Paper and Stamens:   https://youtu.be/Oma6ctVmUD0

Other Supplies:  White Cardstock, Art Color Oil Pastels, Aged Mahogany Distress Ink,

20 Gauge Wire, Dimensional Tape, 6mm White Half Pearls, Hot Glue Gun, Dry Baby Wipe

Instructions:  My card is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2.  Make card base and cover with a piece of the paper collection.  I edged the paper with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink.  Next cut out the Window and glue it to the card front.  Now the fun begins; Using Black Stazon Ink stamp the flowers and leaves.  I used a dry baby wipe and applied oil pastels to the petals of the flowers and leaves.  Cut everything out and then use a heat gun to curl the flowers and leaves.  Now turn them over and apply pressure to the center with one of the burnishing tools just until the Foam Paper cools and then it will hold it’s shape.  Next I added a bit more color as manipulating the petals causes the ink to fade.  I used a small hole punch to cut a hole in the center of the petals so I could feed through the stamen. Now add the stamen and I used the wire to help feed them through the center of the flowers. Put a bead of hot glue to help hold them in place.  Decide on placement for flowers and the dove and hot glue everything down.  I waited until now to add the glitter to the dove and flowers.  Allow to dry and this is when I glued the half pearls down.  Once everything is dry the card is ready to go.

Another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday.....

Good morning everyone and welcome to my little corner of the world!  I'm here to share another project I have made for Heartfelt Creations. 

Products Used:
HCDP1-283 Young at Heart Paper Collection
HCD1-7158 Young at Heart Die
HCD1-7159 Simply Classic Die
#159723 Designer Dries Clear Adhesive
#352854 Metal Tip for Adhesive Bottle

Other Supplies:  White Cardstock, Scor-Tape, Dimensional Tape, Wooden Knob, Green Acrylic Paint, E6000 glue

Instructions:  My little box is 2 1/2 X 4. The instructions for the box were found here:
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/windowtreatbox/    I followed the instructions but didn't cut out the window.  Before you put the box together measure and cut the panels to decorate and glue them down. I used Scor-Tape to put the box together because of the strength.  I cut a strip of the paper to go around the bottom of the box as well as the top. Next I painted the wooden knob and set it aside to dry.  Once it is dry use the E6000 glue to adhere it to the box top.  I just happened to have a color of paint that perfectly matched the paper.  How often does that happen? To decorate the box I just found a sheet of the designer paper that had these images and I fussy cut the little scooter and used dies for the flags and signs. Dimensional tape is used to adhere them to the sides of the box.  I just love how this turned out and it would hold quite a bit of something to be given as a gift.

Instructions:  My card is 5 1/2 X 5 1/2.  I wanted to showcase how quick and easy it can be to get a card ready to go using the designer papers.  I made the base card and picked out one of the many card fronts and I went around the edges with the Spiced Marmalade Ink before I glued it down.  Next I used the word die to cut out the word Journey with a piece of the coordinating papers. I cut out the sign and glued the word to it and used dimensional tape to adhere to the card front.  I stamped, cut out and colored the leaves and glued them down around the sign.  The card is finished.  I just love it when I can get something ready to go so quickly.
