Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations....

Good morning everyone!  I'm here this morning to share another card I have made using the Merry and Bright collection from Heartfelt Creations.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it.  Before you know it Christmas will be here and this just might be the card I send to family and friends this year!

Instructions: Liz Gaze has a video on the Heartfelt Creations Facebook page that showcases making shaped cards with the Botanical Window die. See the video here.  Make the card base. Score and fold a piece of cardstock and slide the window die over the scored fold and cut out. This will create a hinge so your card will open and close. Cut another window and glue it over the folded piece and this gives the card all the decorative edges. I cut out the vertical strips on the front of the window and inserted one of the card front images so that you are looking out over a magical snow scene. I added glitter and set aside to dry. Dimensional tape was used to adhere to the front of the card.
Using VersaMark ink stamp the poinsettia and then emboss with the white powder. I then used a dauber and Lilac Posies ink to color the petals and cut out using the coordinating dies. I stamped all leaves and pine boughs with Stazon Olive Green ink and cut out using the coordinating dies. The holly leaves were colored with Bamboo Leaves Ink and a dauber. Run the leaves and flower petals through your die cutting machine using the 3D Poinsettia Shaping Mold. Glue the flower together and add the prills to the center and set aside to dry. Glitter the pine boughs and set aside to dry.
Find a ticket on the paper collection and cut out using the Luggage and Tags Dies. Use dimensional tape to adhere to the front of the card and then arrange the flowers and pine boughs around the ticket.

This is just a beautiful card Glenda. Reminds me of long ago winters. Serene beauty in the snowy trees. Thanks for the visit. His garden is about done also. I may even buy tomatoes, I lOVED the roasted oven ones I did last year and would love to freeze Lots of them I was thankful we had lots of cucumbers, and sweet corn for our family fun times. Perfect weather for mom's 90th. Have a fun week. I cannot believe school starts next week.

Oh, my, that window die is gorgeous, and what a beautiful scene it looks onto! I was looking at this paper collection and thinking how fun it would be for making the year's Christmas cards. You've shown how prettily you can decorate with special touches. Brilliant, Glenda!
