Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations...

Good morning friends and welcome to my blog!  I'm here this morning to share another Christmas card with you using the Holiday Ornament Collection!  This is another beautiful collection and the last collection Heartfelt Creations will be releasing.  You can find my card in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery  with all the details listed there.

My card is a shaped card made by folding a piece of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper and laying the die over the fold and running through the die cut machine.  Cut another Elaborate Oval Frame out of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper and glue to the front of the card.  Cover with a piece of Sheet 3A of the paper collection.

Cut one white and one gold of the die and layer them together so the gold shows behind the white just a bit then glue.  Glue to the card front.  Stamp the sentiment onto the card front using Rhubarb Stalk ink and set aside.

Stamp the ornaments using Bamboo Leaves ink onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper and add ink using Stack and Store Daubers.  I used Bamboo Leaves and Rhubarb Stalk ink. Cut out using the coordinating die.  I used a paint brush and 3D Crystal Lacquer to paint the ornaments so they shine and allow to dry.  As they are drying sprinkle with Rajni Chawla's Crystal Clear Glitter and allow everything to dry. Use hot glue and glue down the ornaments to the top of the card front. Tie a piece of red seam binding into a bow and hot glue to the top of the ornaments and the card is finished.  

Debuting the Holiday Ornament Collection... Heartfelt Creations...

Good morning my friends and welcome!  This morning I'm here to introduce the brand new Holiday Ornament Collection with Heartfelt Creations!  I just love this collection and will use these products to make my own Christmas Cards this year and for many years to come!  I have a card for you this morning and you can find it in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery.   

My card is a shaped card.  Make card base by cutting the die just over the fold of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Cut a piece of Sheet 3A of the Paper Collection using the die twice.  Cover the front and the inside of the card with this.  Using the Stack and Store Daubers edge the paper with Memento Bamboo Leaves and sponge some ink over the whole shape to make the green just a shade darker on the inside piece.  

Stamp the ornament onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper using Leaf Green Archival Ink and emboss with gold embossing powder.  Die cut the piece using coordinating dies and glue to the card front.  I stamped and embossed the ornament twice so I could cut out the center star to give me an additional piece of the image to use.  I used a cut up piece of the double dots and used that to adhere the star to the card front.  This gives it a bit of dimension.  Set aside to dry.

Stamp the sentiment onto a piece of the Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper using Memento Bamboo Leaves ink and die cut using coordinating die.  Clue to the inside of the card being careful to place it over the part of the paper that had more ink sponged to make it darker.  This allows the sentiment to show up better when it has been glued down.  

This makes a very beautiful shaped card and could also be hung on the tree when received.

Stamp the windows, doors and the the snails using Toffee Crunch ink and cut out with coordinating dies.  The shutters are colored with Danube Blue and the light shining through the windows and doors is colored with Dandelion ink.  The frog and leaves are stamped with Leaf Green and colored with same then cut out using coordinating dies.  I used the Dove blender pen to color the frog's tongue.
