Heartfelt Creations - Best Wishes

Good Afternoon All and Welcome this Friday!
Today, Heartfelt Creations have released the Romantique Garden Collection on their website with some Special Black Friday Offers!

My project on the blog today is a card made with the sentiment as the focal point. I thought it really stood out on the black card when I heat embossed it using white embossing powder.

The products used can be found on the Heartfelt Creations blog, along with many more ideas and inspiration from the design team this week.






Card Size :    12cm x 12cm (4 3/4" x 4 3/4")
Instructions:
Select the paper shown from the paper collection and cut to measure the card front. Add pink ink around the edges and heat emboss with clear powder. Adhere to the card front using double sided tape. Stamp the sentiment onto black card using VersaMark ink, heat emboss using fine white embossing powder. Die cut using the second largest circle die. Die cut a lattice piece from pink card. Adhere to the sentiment using glue.  Adhere to the centre of the card front using foam pads. Create a double bow using pink ribbon on the bow maker, add to the card using hot glue. Add the pearl to complete.

Heartfelt Creations - Celebrate The Season

Good Evening All and thank you all for the lovely comments on my last card.
My project on the Heartfelt Creations blog today is one more Christmas card, mid November already! Have you all started on your own Christmas cards yet?  If not, then this is a really easy Christmas card to create.  I loved this verse which is in the paper collection and wanted to make it the focal point of the card, with a delicate framed edge.

 The products used can be found on the Heartfelt Creations blog, along with more ideas and inspiration from the design team this week.



Card Size :    13cm x 16cm (5" x 6 1/4") (including the framed edge)
Instructions:
Select the sentiment piece from the paper collection and cut out.  Add green ink around the edges
and heat using clear embossing powder.  Die cut 3 lattice pieces from dark red card. Cut two in half and add around the sentiment to create a framed edge.  (Start with the corners first.)  Then cut down the last lattice piece to fill in the gaps.  Secure with glue.  Create a loopy bow from gold twine on the bow maker, add to the card as shown and secure on the reverse.  Create a card blank to fit and adhere with glue to complete.

Heartfelt Creations - Holly Berry Christmas

Good Morning All! Thank you so much for all your lovely comments on my card yesterday.
As I posted a Christmas card yesterday, thought I would post another one today. This one is very different and has more of a vintage feel, made using traditional colours. 




Card Size :  10 1/2cm x 15 1/2cm (4 1/8" x 6 1/8")
Instructions:
Cover a white card blank with the gold linen effect paper.  Using the largest rounded rectangle and the largest medium rectangle, die cut these shapes from dark red card.  Using the smaller rectangles, die cut these shapes using paper from the collection as shown.  Cut down the smaller rectangles into a banner edge. Adhere these together. Stamp the sentiment onto vellum using green ink and heat emboss using clear embossing powder. Cut down to measure 3 1/2cm wide. ( 1 1/4"). Adhere the banner shapes into place using foam pads, then wrap the vellum around the card securing on the reverse. Add this to the main card using double sided tape.  Stamp the holly onto cream card twice with green inks and die cut using the matching die. Blend in more green ink to cover the leaves.  On the second die cut, cut off the berries, dip into red ink and heat emboss.  Add the holly to the card as shown and complete by adding the berries.


The products used can be found over at Heartfelt Creations along with more ideas and inspiration from the design team.

Heartfelt Creations - Merry Christmas

Good Morning All and apologies for my absence last month.
We had a family wedding which took place in Scotland and with all the last bits of prep to do, I had no time for blogging.  Arrived home on Saturday after a lovely 9 days away on the outskirts of Edinburgh.  I will share a few photos soon.
I am a bit behind with blogging my projects for Heartfelt Creations, so will catch up with these over the next week also.  My project on the Heartfelt Creations blog today is a Christmas card, November already!
This card is really easy to make and I hope to make more to send out as my Christmas cards for this year!  The products used can be found on the Heartfelt Creations blog, along with more ideas and inspiration from the new design team.




Card Size :    11cm x 13 1/2cm (4 1/4" x 5 1/4"). 
Instructions:
Create a card blank from white card.  Add the two distress inks colours to the stamp.  Lightly spray with water, then stamp the image onto white card and allow to dry.  Using the pine needles ink and some water, use your water brush to paint on some white card, allow to dry.  Using the Large Rounded Rectangle: 3 1/2" x 4 1/2", die cut the festive notes background. Using the  Large Rounded Rectangle: 3 3/4" x 4 3/4", die cut a mat from the green painted paper.  Adhere these together using double sided tape.  Stamp the sentiment onto a separate piece of the same green paper and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.  Die cut using the middle sized Heirloom Ornament Die. Create a loopy bow from bright gold twine on the bow maker, add a strip of cord around the top of the card as shown and secure.  Add the ornament using foam pads, adhering the end of the cord behind.  Add the bow using hot glue.  Cut a mat from dark red card and round the corners using a punch - mine measured 10cm x 12 1/2cm (4" x 5"). Adhere together using foam pads.  Add to the card blank using double sided tape to complete.
