Heartfelt Creations - Mini CAS Cards

Good Evening! Thank you all for the lovely comments on my recent Christmas cards.  As it's Wednesday, I have two mini cards to share made using products from the Cut, Mat, Create Collection.  These are featured over on the Heartfelt Creations blog today.  Really simple to do!  A few weeks ago, I made a box and two other small cards which I'll share later in the week, and decided to add another two to the collection which are now all on way to the Heartfelt Creations office!




Card Sizes :  8cm x 8cm (3 1/8" x 3 1/8")
Instructions:
Card 1
Create a card blank from white card. Stamp the Caroling Bird image using shades of blue inks directly onto the front of the card as shown. Stamp the sentiment onto white card using blue ink and heat emboss. Die cut using the label strip die.(I made the label shorter by refeeding through the die to trim). Die cut the daisy cluster from white card and arrange around the sentiment.  Add this to the card front using foam pads, complete with some gems.

Card 2
Create a card blank from white card.  Select the paper shown from the paper collection and cut to fit the card front. Adhere to the card front using double sided tape. Stamp the sentiment onto white card using blue ink and heat emboss. Die cut using the square die. Add the same ink around the edges and heat emboss again.  Add the blue ribbon around the card as shown and secure on the inside. Die cut the small leaf and small vine from white card, arrange around the sentiment and adhere in place( I did cut a few swirls off the vine).  Add this to the card front using foam pads. Add the pearls to complete.

Heartfelt Creations - Red and White Ornaments

Good Morning! Hope you all had a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend.  Mine was spent catching up with various jobs at home and shopping for a new iron - how difficult that turned out to be!
I have another Christmas card to share today.  A simple CAS card in red and white.  This one sort of just came together and again could easily be made in batches!

Card Size :    12cm x 12cm (4 3/4" x 4 3/4")
Instructions:
Stamp the background image onto white card using the red ink and heat emboss using clear embossing powder. Using two heirloom ornament dies, die cut the shapes.  Emboss a piece of white card with the dotty background embossing folder.  Cut down to measure 11 1/2cm x 11 1/2cm (4 1/2" x 4 1/2"). Add red ink to the edges and heat emboss.  Add a piece of red/white twine to the tops of the die cuts. Add these to the embossed panel using foam pads and secure the twine on the reverse.  Adhere to the main card blank using double sided tape.  Create 2 double bows from red ribbon and secure to the top of the baubles using hot glue to complete.

Heartfelt Creations - Special Christmas Wishes

Good Afternoon All! I'm back home and catching up with things slowly but surely. Please give me a few days and I will visit your blogs.
This month has seen a new release from Heartfelt Creations - The Festive Christmas Collection.  I have made a CAS card so that this beautiful sentiment could be the focal point - love the font used. ( Also, I was trying to think ahead of a simple card that I could make lots of for the festive season!)
As you may have seen, Heartfelt Creations currently have a Design Team Call open, which also means the current Design Team is being voted on.

Card Size :    12cm x 12cm (4 3/4" x 4 3/4")
Instructions:
Cut down the paper shown from the collection to measure 11 1/2cm x 11 1/2cm (4 1/2" x 4 1/2"), adhere to the card front using double sided tape.
