Use the Eyelet Swirl Gateway die to cut a decorative piece using white card stock and cut a piece of purple Sheet 10B and glue to the center back of the decorative die. Cut a piece of sheet 9B to layer on top of the white decorative piece. This will be where we put the flat back pearls. Glue this decorative piece to the card front.

Cut a Piece of sheet 5A and glue to the inside of the card, then cut a piece of sheet 5B for the back of the card and glue it down.

Stamp the flowers onto the Flower Shaping Paper using Majestic Violet and color with a Stack and Store Dauber. Use coordinating die to cut out the flowers. Stamp the Leafy Accent leaves using Fern Green Ink and color with Leaf Green Ink, then cut out with coordinating dies. Place the flowers and leaves into their coordinating 3D shaping molds and spritz with water then run through die cut machine. Turn out onto desk to dry. Once dry, add prills to the flower centers, decide on placement and use hot glue to glue down.

Stamp the sentiment onto white card stock using Majestic Violet Ink and cut out with the arrow die. Edge the white cardstock with Majestic Violet and adhere to card front using dimensional tape.

Using Dries Clear Adhesive glue down the flat back pearls onto the green accent piece on the card front allow to dry.

To finish the card, add Crystal Clear glitter to the flowers and allow to dry.

INTRODUCING THE AMAZING PAPER GRACE BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT VIGNETTES..




The Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection is made up of 7 different die sets and 
a stamp set.  I used the stamp set here:

I used S5-436 Grand Cinch and Go Flowers  by Becca Feeken to make the pretty blooms gracing the front of my card.  I also used Embossing Folder SES-007 for the beautiful background!

My card base is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" and it has a layering piece of Floral Butterfly Paper from Heartfelt Creations and then the next layer is using the SES-007 Embossing folder.  It gives a very clear image and is just the perfect place to put the sentiment which is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto another piece of the Floral Butterfly Paper.  

The blooms are cut from a light weight watercolor paper and colored with Archival Cactus Flower ink.  The leaves were colored with Archival Leaf Green and Cactus Flower inks.

Other Products: White Cardstock, Die Cut Machine, Scor-Tape, Purple Ribbon, White Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Magnet, ColorBox Frost White Pigment Ink

Instructions: Using white cardstock, die cut the center of the Rounded Window Frame Die. Using the circle die, cut out a piece of the paper collection. I chose sheet 9A which is blue. Glue to the Window Frame Die and set aside.

Stamp the Clematis Trellis using Rich Cocoa Ink. Color in the flowers using Majestic Violet ink and a dauber. Cut out the Trellis using the coordinating die. Then use a circle die from the Eyelet Circle & Basics dies and cut the trellis. Adhere to the center of the piece. Glue the magnet to the back of the decorative circle and cut another circle out of white cardstock and glue to the back to cover the magnet. This will also keep it from scratching your refrigerator.

Stamp the flowers using Art Foam Paper and Lulu Lavender ink. Using a dauber and Majestic Violet ink color the center of each petal. Cut out with coordinating dies and then shape using a heat gun. Add Prills to the center of the petals and allow to dry. Stamp the leaves with Fern Green ink and color with Leaf Green ink. Use coordinating die to cut out the leaves and shape with heat gun. Set aside.

Stamp the butterfly onto vellum using white pigment ink and then emboss with white embossing powder. Use coordinating die and cut out the butterfly. Color the butterfly with Majestic Violet and Sunflower ink then I added just a tiny bit of Tiger Lily. You can color on either side of the butterfly but I chose to color on the back which gave it a more subtle look.

Tie a bow in the ribbon and use Scor-Tape and glue to adhere to the bottom of the refrigerator magnet. Decide on placement of flowers and leaves and glue down. To finish, decide on placement for the butterfly and glue it down.

These magnets are a quick and easy project and can be given as a little gift to a friend or loved one. I also have several gracing the front of my refrigerator as well. Enjoy!

I hope you enjoy this...I really enjoyed making it!  For more inspiration you can head over to the Heartfelt Creations Blog and see what the other design team members have made.

Forever in our Memory....

Good morning freiends,  I'm here this morning to share a card made using a new release from Spellbinders S5-457 Forever in our Memory Vignette by Becca Feeken.  I have been a long time lover of all things Becca Feeken and Spellbinders so it is an honor to make and share this card. 










My finished card size is 6" X 6".  Make card base and cover with a piece of designer paper.  
Using white cardstock cut out the pieces of the die and then cut out a shadow piece using a coordinating piece of the paper collection.  

I used S5-436 Grand Cinch and Go Flowers by Becca Feeken to make these sweet little roses to grace the edge of the card.  These dies are so very easy to cut and make flowers. I just cut them out of light weight watercolor paper and colored using various shades of inks.  The centers are Lettuce Entertain You Prills.

The gold butterfly is from S4-987 Flutter Wing Shadowbox Butterflies also by Becca Feeken.  

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I have enjoyed making it.  It makes a lovely, tasteful rememberance card,  If you would like to see more of the new release just follow this link over to the Spellbinders site and have a look around.  I know you are going to find something you just can't live without:    Beautiful Sentiments Vignette

Other Products: Die Cut Machine, Heat Gun, Misti Stamping Tool, Dimensional Tape, White and Black Cardstock

Instructions: My finished card size is 4" x 6". Make card base and cover with a piece of Sheet 3B of the paper collection. Next, I found one of the card fronts on the paper collection Sheet 3A. Mat that onto a piece of black cardstock to give it a more dimensional look and then using dimensional tape, adhere to the card front.

Using white cardstock die cut the center part of the Regal Lattice Gateway Die and the Royal Elegance Frames. Use the Eyelet & Ovals Basic die that fits best into the center of the Royal Elegance Frames and die cut an oval out of the lattice piece. Glue this lattice oval to the back of the Royal Elegance Frame and allow to dry. Using a sponge and Dries Clear Adhesive, add glitter to this piece and then glue it down onto the card front.

Stamp the flowers with Lulu Lavender ink on Art Foam and I allowed them to dry overnight. Using the stack and store daubers, color the centers of the flowers with Majestic Violet ink and then use coordinating dies to cut them out. Use the heat gun to shape the flowers. Add prills to the centers of the flowers and allow to dry.

Stamp the birdhouse with Rich Cocoa and the little birds with Tuxedo Black onto white cardstock and cut out with coordinating dies. Color with the Dove Blender Pen and various colors of ink to suit your taste. I used the flower shaping tools to add a bit of dimension to the birdhouse. Glue the birdhouse to the right side of the card front and add the flowers and the little birds and allow to dry.

Stamp the sentiment onto white cardstock. I covered part of the stamp with tape then inked it and pulled off the tape and stamped the one word. This allowed me to use one word of the sentiment. Mat this piece onto a piece of the Sheet 12B of the paper collection and then use a bit of dimensional tape to adhere to the card front. The card is finished!

Other Products: Die Cut Machine, Hot Glue Gun, Heat Gun, White Enbossing Powder, Seam Binding, Stormy Sky Distress Ink, Scor-Tape, ColorBox Frost White Ink

Instructions: My finished card size is 5 1/2 x 7 1/2”. To make card base, use a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11” cardstock and cut at 5 1/2". Score one piece at 1" and fold. Add glue to this scored flap and glue the other piece of cardstock to it. Now cut off the 1" off overhang so that both pieces are the same. Cover the card base with a piece of the paper. I used sheet 9B for this.

Using white cardstock cut out the Regal Lattice Gateway Die and glue it to the card front and set aside while you work on the other elements of the card.

Stamp the flower petals onto Art Foam Paper using Sky blue and stamp the leaves using Fern Green ink. Set aside and allow to dry. It takes quite a while, so be patient. I actually let mine dry overnight. Using coordinating dies cut out the flower and the leaves. Using the Stack and Store Daubers add pink peony ink to the petals and then edge the petals with more Sky Blue ink. I added Leaf Green to the leaves and then edged them with more Fern Green. Using the heat bun and a pick to hold the petals, warm the petals until they begin to curl. I used a sponge and dries clear adhesive to add the Frosting Powder to the leaves and flower petals. Form the flower using hot glue and then adhere to card front with the hot glue as well.

Stamp the little butterflies with white ink and emboss with white embossing powder. Color using Pink Peony and Danube Blue inks. Glue them across the top of the card. They are so delicate, and I just love them fluttering there!

Now cut a piece of white seam binding and color using Stormy Sky Distress ink. Scrunch and allow to dry. Tie a bow and adhere to the card front. I used Scor-Tape and Dries Clear Adhesive to adhere the bow.
