Instructions: My finished card size is 6" X 6". I used the Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper as the card base as it is very thick and a great weight for cards. Cover the card base with a piece of the paper collection. I used Sheet 11-A and chose one of the 6 x 6 panels. I used jet black to stamp the barn and most of the elements. I also used Rich Cocoa to stamp the plants and the fence. I colored the sunflowers with Leaf Green, Fern Green and Sunflower. I used the Deluxe Flower Shaping kit to add a bit of dimension to the flowers and plants. Add Prills to the center of the sunflowers and set aside to dry.

I used various inks to color the goat, rooster, milk can and the barn. This is a great place for you to use whatever color you like. Once everything is colored to your liking you can decide on the placement and start to glue everything down. I started with the barn then I added the milk can and the goat and rooster. On the other side of the barn I glued down the sunflowers and I glued the cow in front of the flowers. I cut up the cow's neck so it would fit down over the fence better. Next, glue down the fence and add the dog in front of the fence.

I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of white cardstock and cut it out with one of the Ornamental Tags Die then I distressed the edges with Distress Ink and used dimensional tape to adhere it down. Next, I tied a bow and used Scor-Tape to glue it to the corner of the sentiment. The card is ready to go.

Instructions: My finished card size is 5" x 7". Make card base and cover with a piece of purple cardstock. Using white cardstock, cut out the Decorative Circle Frame. Apply the Crystal Clear glitter using a Hydra Sponge and Designer Dries Clear Adhesive. Just add glitter to the edges. Set aside to dry. Once dry, use DDots and glue to card front.

Cut the largest circle in the dies using purple cardstock and glue inside the Decorative Circle Die. Stamp the sentiment using Majestic Violet ink and cut out that and the shadow piece using the coordinating dies and glue together. Adhere inside the purple circle on the card front.

Stamp the leaves using Archival Fern Green then color with Leaf Green using Stack and Store Daubers. Cut out with coordinating dies. Lay onto the mold and spritz with water then run through the die cut machine. Turn out to dry.

Stamp the flower petals using Memento Rich Cocoa ink then color with Vibrant Fuchsia, Leaf Green and Dandelion ink and the Stack and Store Daubers. Cut out using coordinating dies and then lay onto a mold, spritz with water than run through the die cut machine. Turn out onto your work surface to dry. I shaped a bit more using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit just to add more dimension. When the petals are dry, glue several layers together then add Prills to the center. Add Crystal Clear to the flower petals and allow to dry.

When everything is dry, decide on placement on card front and glue everything down. Your card is finished.

Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations

Good morning friends!  I hope this post finds you well.  I'm here on this Wednesday morning to share another Heartfelt Creations card I have made.  It's a fun fold "slide and lock" card and I hope you love it!

It is a gatefold card with a locking medallion piece that slides down over the two gates.  I loved the design when I first saw it and just knew I had to try it.  

This next image is the inside of the card with the gates open.  I just chose a pretty piece of the paper collection to cover this part.  You could add a sentiment here or write a private personal message to the recipient of this card.

For more tips on creating with the Cascading Petals Collection watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/DqhvfrsTI00.

Instructions: My finished card measures 5 1/2” x 5 7/8”. I used the Flower Shaping Paper to make the card base as well as any other pieces for the card. I found a YouTube video for the card base and the locking medallion and just followed along. You can find one that you like and do the same as there are several videos showing different sizes. You just make a tri fold card and then cut 4 pieces of 4" x 4" cardstock for the locking piece. Score two of the squares at 2" and fold in half. Next you glue these two folded pieces to another one of the squares and then you lay the last square over this and glue it down. This allows the center part of the piece to open sort of like butterfly wings. This is what you slide down over the two front sides of the card to hold it in place (sort of like a modified belly band). I am a visual learner, so the videos are a great help for me to help me understand how something works.

Once you have all the pieces cut and together as well as the base card, it is time to decorate. I covered the two front panels with the paper collection and then I cut a piece for the inside of the card that has a picture on it and glued that into place. You can stamp or write on this panel or if you want you can just leave it as is because it is beautiful.

Cover the locking piece with another piece of the paper collection and set aside to dry. I stamped the sentiment with Cactus Flower ink and used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also used the shadow die to cut the silver cardstock. Glue the two pieces together. I cut an Eyelet Circle out of white Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper and then used a smaller circle die to cut another piece of the pretty paper collection. Glue the two circles together and the sentiment piece glues down onto that. Using Double Dots to pop up the circles, attach the circle to the locking piece.

Stamp the flowers using Cactus Flower ink and cut out using the coordinating die. I hand shaped the petals and glued two together to form the flowers. I added Prills to the centers and then using the sponge daubers I went around the edges of the flowers with Cactus Flower ink to add a bit more interest to them.

Stamp the leaves using Fern Green ink and then color them with Leaf Green ink. Using coordinating die, cut out the leaves. Lay onto the mold and spritz with water then run through the die cut machine. Turn out onto the desk to dry. Once dry, decide on the placement of the flowers and leaves and glue down. The card is finished.

Inspiration...

You know how sometimes you see something and you are totally inspired?  Well Emma Lou did a Heartfelt Creations Facebook live on September 15 using some discontinued products and I have to admit I am totally inspired!  

 I watched her video and immediately whipped out two cards to add to my Christmas stash!  Thank you Emma Lou and Heartfelt Creations!  These came together so quickly and I think they are beautiful!  
I used HCD1-7144 Decorative Medallion Die, HCD1-7199 Noel Ornament Die,  and HCPC 3834 Noel Sentiments Cling Stamps.  These are on the Limited Edition List so if they are still available hurry and get yours now!

I have totally enjoyed seeing all the inspirational videos from Heartfelt Creations during this Covid isolation.  I have learned so much and hope these keep coming even after we are able to resume our lives!

Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations...On Your Special Day....

 Good morning friends and welcome to my blog.  I'm here this morning to share another card using the Summer's Garden Collection.  I love making these flowers because they are a large "statement" piece and when used on a card you need very little else to go with them!

For more ideas on creating with the Decorative Royale Square & Circle Dies, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/tqmtn_TiVVw.

Instructions: My finished card size is 6" x 6". I cut a piece of the flower shaping paper 6" x 12" and scored at 6". Fold to make card base. Using Sheet 8B of the paper collection use the scalloped edge die to cut a piece to add color to the card front. Glue down.

Next, using white cardstock, I cut out the decorative pieces of the dies leaving the center square in place to hold the sentiment. Glue this piece to the green layer and set aside. I glued the pearls next and left to dry. Stamp the sentiment using Vibrant Fuchsia ink and cut out using the square center.

Stamp the leaves with Fern Green Archival Ink and color using Leaf Green. Cut out using the coordinating die. Lay on the mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine. Turn out to dry. While the leaves are drying, stamp the flower petals using Rich Cocoa ink then color using various inks. Here is where you can select what color you like. Cut out the petals using coordinating dies. Lay onto the mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine. As you turn the petals out use the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit to add a bit more dimension to them. Allow to dry. Layer up several petals and glue together. The more dimension the better. Next add prills to the center and allow to dry. This is the time to apply glitter with glue and the sponge. Once everything is dry, decide on placement and hot glue in place. The card is finished.
