Cascading Floral Basket ... Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations

Good morning my friends and welcome!  I'm here this morning to share another card using the Floral Basket Collection from Heartfelt Creations.   It has been cold and snowy here in East Tennessee so this basket just says "Spring" to me.  Most of us have been experiencing terrible weather so I hope you enjoy my card!  You can find it in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery with all supplies used.

My finished card is 5" X 7".  Make card base and cover with a piece of Sheet 6A from the paper collection.

Using HCD2-7384 Fancy Classic Rectangle Frame Die, cut pieces using Deluxe Flower Shaping paper and Luxe Gold cardstock.  Glue white shadow die cut onto card front and glue the gold die cut onto that.  Cut a plain piece of white like the gold piece and use the center portion to layer ontop of the gold die cut.  I used Double Dots to pop it up to give dimension.  Using the smaller oval die from the Royal Elegance Frames,  cut two pieces;  one in gold and one in white.  Use the plain oval die that fits inside this more decorative die and cut a piece of sheet 6A and glue to the center of the oval.  Layer the gold piece behind the white piece shifting slightly so the gold shows through behind.  I used dimensional tape behind this piece to add dimension and give it the appearance of a medallion.  

Stamp the basket onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper using Memento Toffee Crunch ink.  Cut out with coordinating die and color using Stack and Store Daubers and Toffee Crunch ink.  Glue the handle onto the basket and glue the basket down onto the medallion piece on the card front. 

Stamp leaves using Leaf Green ink and color using same Leaf Green ink.  Cut out with coordinating die and edge the leaves with Olive ink to give them more dimension.  Lay leaves onto the mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine.  Lay aside to dry.

Stamp the flowers onto Deluxe Flower Shaping paper using Buttercup for the yellow flowers, Magenta Hue for the pink flowers, Cactus Flower and Majestic Violet for the purple flowers. Color with same colors and cut out with coordinating dies.  Place on coordinating mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine.  Turn out onto the desk to dry. Once dry add Prills to the centers of the petals and allow to dry. 

Once everything is dry, decide on placement and glue down onto card front.

Inspiration Wednesday with Heartfelt Creations....

Good morning my friends and welcome to my Inspiration Wednesday post for Heartfelt Creations.  We have entered the final count down for Christmas and everyone is in a mad dash to get everything finished.  Let's take a moment to breathe and you can enjoy my card I have made.  I think the best thing about this card for me is it isn't a Christmas card.  It was a marathon here in my craft room to get all my cards made and ready to go but it is all done and I think I'm ready for this wonderful holiday!

You can see my card in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery with all the supplies used to make this one.  

My card size is 5" X 7".  Make card base and cover with a piece of Sheet 1B of the paper collection.  Set aside while we work on all the elements.

Stamp the basket and floral using Rich Cocoa and color the basket with Rich Cocoa ink and a Stack and Store Dauber.  Color the florals with Prisma Color pencils, odorless mineral spirits and blending stumps. Stamp the bow with Goldenrod ink and color with a dauber and Goldenrod ink.  Cut everything out with coordinating dies and glue everything together to make the floral basket.

Stamp the sentiment with Goldenrod ink and cut out with Ornamental Tags Die and set aside. 

Using white cardstock and the Luxe Gold Cardstock cut out one each of the Regal Lattice Gateway Die.  Glue these two pieces together with the gold piece under the white and offset a bit so it shows through.  

Use the archway die from the set to cut out a piece of white cardstock and place it in the Embossing Folder and run through the die cut machine.  Glue this piece on top of the two die cuts creating a sort of medallion. 

Now glue the basket to the top of this medallion piece and using dimensional tape glue down the sentiment.  Now add dimensional tape to the medallion piece and adhere to card front.  The card is finished.  

 

Introducing the Floral Basket Collection from Heartfelt Creations...

Good morning everyone and welcome as we happily introduce the brand new Floral Basket Collection from Heartfelt Creations!  Let me just say you are going to love this collection.  It brings memories of garden parties with tables filled with baskets of flowers!  You can find my card in the Heartfelt Creations gallery with a listing of all the products used.  

My finished card size is 5" X 7".  Make card base using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper.  Cover with a piece of Sheet #8B and set aside.

Cut out the Fancy Classic Oval Frame twice, once with white cardstock and once with Luxe Gold cardstock.  Glue the two pieces together off setting just a bit so the gold shows through behind the white piece.  Glue to card front.

Stamp the florals for the basket onto watercolor paper using black ink.  Color with a brush and the Zig colored markers.  Add glitter to the Baby's Breath and allow to dry. Cut out with coordinating die.

Stamp the basket onto white cardstock using Rich Cocoa ink and color with the Stack and Store Daubers and Toffee Crunch ink. Cut out with coordinating dies.  Glue the florals onto the basket and cut a slit in the flowers then slip the basket handle into this and glue down.  Slide the base of the basket into the bottom of the Fancy Classic Oval Frame and glue down.  I added Double Dots to the top part of the flowers to add some dimension.  Glue down.  The card is finished.

wild Rose Curved Border....

Good morning my friends!  It's Wednesday and once again time to share another card with you that I have made using Heartfelt Creations products.  You can find a photo of my card and all the details in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery.

My card size is a slimline 4" X 9".  I used The Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper and made the card base.  Cover the front with a piece of Sheet 3A of the paper collection.  Cover the inside of the card with a piece of Sheet 1B of the paper collection. Using the curved border die and one of the decorative dies that does not cut an edge, cut the front piece of the card giving a beautiful cut out border to the card front.  I think the die I chose is quite simple but elegant and I just love the way it looks.  

Stamp the flower petals using Magenta Hue ink and color the centers with Golden Rod ink and then the edges with Magenta Hue.  Cut out with coordinating dies. Spritz with water and lay onto the mold then run through the die cut machine.  Turn out onto the desk to dry.  Stamp the leaves with Leaf Green and then color with same Leaf Green ink.  Cut out with coordinating dies and then edge them with Olive ink to give them more dimension.  Lay onto coordinating mold and spritz with water then run through the die cut machine.  Turn out onto the desk to dry.  

When everything is dry hot glue two petals of the flowers together then add Prills to the centers of these.  Decide on placement and glue down using hot glue.  The card is finished.  

Sunflower Love....

Good morning friends and welcome!  I have a card to share with you this morning using the new Cyber Monday Die from Heartfelt Creations.  This is another gorgeous die and I can see myself using this quite often in the future.  You can see my card in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery as well as all the products used to make it!

I love this die and think it makes a lovely slimline card and it's very quick and easy!  

My finished card size is 4" X 9" which is a slimline card size. Make the card base using white cardstock and cover with a piece of Sheet 8B from the paper collection. Set aside while we work on the rest of the elements.

Die cut the Star Lattice Rectangle Die out of white cardstock. Then cut the outline die for the smaller center piece of the die. I did one in white cardstock and then I cut another piece using a piece of Sheet 7B of the paper collection. Glue the three pieces together making a sort of center medallion for the card. Using a Hydra Sponge and Designer Dries Clear Glue add Crystal Clear Glitter to the larger die cut of the Star Lattice Rectangle Die. Set this aside to dry. Once dry glue down on the card front. Now take the smaller medallion and adhere it to the center of the card front using Double Dots to add dimension.

Now we are going to work on the sunflowers. Stamp the petals onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper using Memento Cantaloupe ink. I colored these petals in layers of color beginning with Dandelion, then Sunflower and lastly I used Goldenrod. Die cut these petals using coordinating dies and add Morocco ink onto the edges of the petals as well as the center of the petals. Next using Leaf Green ink, stamp and color the leaves and cut out using coordinating dies. Use Olive ink to add dimension to the leaves by going over the centers as well as the outside edges of the leaves. Now lay the petals and leaves onto the shaping mold spritz with water and run through the die cut machine. Turn out onto the desk to dry. Once dry using 3D Crystal Lacquer and a brush paint the flowers and leaves. This deepens the colors and adds a beautiful sheen to everything. Allow to dry. Once dry use hot glue to glue two flower petals together and then add a clump of hot glue to the centers and spoon Power Outage Prills over this. Once the glue hardens your flowers are ready to go onto the card front. Decide on placement of flowers and leaves and hot glue down and your card is ready to go.

Heartfelt Creations - Black Friday Release....

Good morning friends and welcome to the Heartfelt Creations Black Friday Release!  So many dies...so little time!  I have absolutely fallen in love with these dies and I just know you are going to as well.  You can find my card in the Heartfelt Creations Gallery with all the products used.

My finished card size is 4" X 8 1/2".  Make card base and cover with a piece of Sheet 10B of the paper collection.  Cut a piece of white cardstock 3 1/4" X 7 3/4" and use one of the Slim Basics Rectangles dies to cut a piece of sheet 3A and glue together.  Adhere to card front using dimensional tape to add dimension.  Cut the Slim Lattice Oval Die out of white cardstock and then cut it apart about half way down.  Using a Hydra Sponge and Designer Dries Clear Adhesive add Crystal Clear Glitter and set aside to dry.  When dry glue down on the card front.

Using a piece of Sheet 6B cut out the small oval in with the Slim Lattice Oval die and then cut another out of Sheet 9B.  Stamp the sentiment onto the light pink piece and glue it into the center of the dark pink die on the card front.  

Stamp the flower petals onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper with Magenta Hue ink and then color the edges with Magenta Hue as well.  Color the centers with Leaf green and then cut out with coordinating dies.  Lay on the mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine then turn out onto the desk to dry.  Glue two petals together to form the larger flower and add Prills to the center.  Also add Prills to the centers of the smaller petals as well.  

Stamp the leaves onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper with Leaf Green ink and color with Leaf Green ink as well as some splashes of Magenta Hue ink.  Cut out with coordinating dies and place onto the shaping mold, spritz with water and run through the die cut machine.  

Stamp the Dragonfly onto the Vellum and again on Deluxe Flower Shaping paper using Paradise Teal ink and emboss with gold embossing powder.  Color using Leaf Green and Paradise Teal inks and cut out with coordinating dies.  Glue the two pieces together making the dragonfly look like it is in flight.  

Decide on placement of flowers, leaves and the dragonfly.  Glue down and the card is finished!

Christmas Card ... 2022

Like most of you I have been working on my Christmas cards lately and I will be sharing one or two with you in the coming days.  I have really been striving to make cards that can mail with a first class stamp because of the very high postal rates.  A card with 3D flowers and packed in one of the plastic boxes Heartfelt Creations has in their shop can cost almost $5.00 to mail.  I have a few that I spend that kind of money on but not many.

The hero of this card is the Filigree Accents die which is one of the latest released by Heartfelt Creations. I layered a bit of gold behind the die to jazz it up a bit.  Then Heartfelt Creations pretty poinsettia and some gold fillers and it will be all set.

I hope you enjoy my card!  Have a lovely weekend!
