Instructions: My card size is 5 x 7". Make card base and cover with a piece of the paper collection. Using the largest Album Tag, cut out a piece of white cardstock. Now using the smaller die, cut a piece of purple and glue them together. Cut out the Ornamental Tags Die pieces to make the sign and then cut out the wording and glue it down. I cut the base using white then a piece of purple cardstock was used for the layering piece then the words were cut out of white. I used dimensional tape to adhere this to the Large Album Tag.

Next cut out a scallop lace piece using another of the dies from the Album Tags and Accents Die. I used white cardstock for this piece. Glue it to the bottom of the large Album Tag and then use dimensional tape to adhere the Large Album Tag to the card front.

Stamp the blossoms onto white cardstock using Majestic Violet ink and then color the centers with some of the Grape Jelly Memento Ink. Use Bamboo Leaves Memento Ink to color the leaves. Using the coordinating die cut out the blossoms and leaves. Lay the blossoms and leaves onto the 3D Mold and spritz with water and run through the Sizzix Vagabond 2. Lay out the pieces to dry. Once dry add glitter and Prills and leave to dry. Layer the blossoms and make the flowers. Decide where you want the flowers and leaves and glue them down.

Using Majestic Violet ink, stamp the butterfly onto white cardstock. Use Grape Jelly and Bamboo Leaves Memento Ink to color. Add glitter and Prills and allow to dry. Glue the butterfly down onto the card front.

Instructions: My Album is 5 x 7. I was totally inspired by Kathy Clement's video for her Heartfelt Creations Butterfly Medley Tri-Fold Folio and followed along to make the album. See the video here.  Once I had the basic album made out of white cardstock I used Scor-Tape to adhere white ribbon on the front and back page of the album to make a closure. I covered the pages with pieces of the paper collection. I also covered the 1/2" space between the pages with the paper collection.

Stamp the flowers with Rouge and Majestic Violet ink onto white cardstock and color the centers with Rose Bud for the pink and Grape Jelly ink for the purple flowers. Stamp the leaves with StazOn Olive Green ink and color with the Bamboo Leaves Memento ink. Use coordinating dies to cut out the flowers and leaves and place them into the mold and run through the Vagabond. Lay them out to dry. Once dry add prills to the centers of the flowers and allow to dry. Add glitter to the flower petals and allow to dry.

Stamp the cottage with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink onto white cardstock. Cut out using the coordinating die and color with Memento Inks, the daubers and the Dove Blender Pen. Add glitter to the piece and set aside to dry. I cut out extra sets, so I could use dimensional tape to adhere to the cottage to give it more dimension. Adhere this piece to the album front and add flowers and leaves and glue down.

The first page on the inside of the album is a waterfall for adding photos and I used pieces from the Flip Fold Inserts packet. I used Scor-Tape to glue the flaps down then cut out card fronts from the paper collection to fit on these flaps. Next, I cut out two pieces of the long die out of the Ticket and Tags Die and covered them with pieces of the paper collection. This was the time when I glued down the magnets to make a closure for the waterfall. I glued a flower to the top flap just to give a bit of decoration to this piece.

The center piece of the inside of the album has a pocket on it. I just used Scor-Tape to glue 3 sides of a piece of white cardstock to the bottom of the page. Next cut out a piece of coordinating paper and adhere to the white cardstock pocket. Cut out 4 of the corner pieces from the Album Tags and Accents Die using white cardstock. Glue these pieces to the corners of the pocket. Add a flower and leaves to the pocket as well. Next using the tags die, I made tags to fit in the pocket. I used white ribbon to tie in the hole of the tags for interest.

For the back page of the album I just wanted a medallion saying Happy Birthday. Out of white cardstock I cut out one of the Accent pieces and then I cut another out of the paper collection. Using Grape Jelly Memento Ink, I stamped the sentiment from the Special Birthday Sentiments Cling Stamps. Glue the two pieces together to make a medallion and use dimensional tape to adhere to the back page.

Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations

Good morning friends!  I'm here to share a tag I made using products from  Heartfelt Creations. I love tags and feel they are great tucked down inside a gift bag or they can sometimes become the gift themselves!

Instructions: Click here to view a larger photo of this project. I made the tag by cutting two 4 X 8" pieces of cardstock. Next I used the banner punch board to cut the V bottom. You can also do this by measuring half of the tag and then measure up 3/4" and cut diagonal to meet at the half way mark. Now glue the two pieces of cardstock together to make the tag. Using two pieces makes it stronger.

Cover the tag with a piece of the paper collection. I chose a green color and edged it with the Memento Bamboo Leaves Ink. At this point I punched a hole in the top center of the tag. I cut a length of seam binding, wet it and scrunched it up. Lay it aside to dry. Once dry tie a bow and using Scor Tape to adhere the tails to the card front. This gives it a ruffled look and keeps it secure as well.

Using Stazon Olive Green Ink, stamp the Holy leaves onto white cardstock. Color with Bamboo Leaves Memento Ink; cut out using the coordinating die. Using Rhubarb Stalk Memento Ink stamp the poinsettia petals onto white cardstock and color with Lady Bug Memento Ink. Use the coordinating die to cut out the petals. Using the 3D Poinsettia Mold lay the petals and leaves inside, spritz with water and run through the Sizzix Vagabond 2. Lay them aside to dry. Once dry add the glitter to the petals and then glue the petals and leaves together to form the flowers. Glue the Prills to the centers and allow to dry.

Using one of the tags die. cut out a ticket from the paper collection. Mat it several times with coordinating pieces of the paper collection and then white cardstock. I edged the mats with Bamboo Leaves Memento Ink. Also use dimensional tape to adhere the top layer to give it a bit more dimension.

Decide on the placement of the flowers and the sign and glue them down. The tag is ready to go.
