Heartfelt Creations - Only One Like You

Good Evening All!
It's Wednesday, so I have a Heartfelt Creations card to share which is also featured today on the Heartfelt Creations Blog. 

I created a Clean and Simple Card using the Sun Kissed Fleur Swirls stamp.  Such a lovely, detailed stamp that I wanted to use gilding flakes with it. ( I tried my best to get a good photograph, but it still doesn't show the beautiful shine of those gilding flakes.)
The card instructions are:
Card Size 10.5cm x 14.5cm.
Using the flower swirl stamp, stamp four times onto a piece of plain white card using the flitterglu.  Cover the images with gilding flakes and clean up using a texture sponge.  Cut down the card to measure 10cm x 14cm. Add some more flitterglu to the edges and add gilding flakes.  Cut a piece of plain white card to measure 2.5cm x 10cm (this was the width of the ribbon I used). Add this to the card.  Add the ribbon over this card and adhere on the reverse using double sided tape, then add the twine and tie into a small bow.  Adhere this to the main card blank with glue.  Stamp the sentiment onto white card using black ink and heat emboss.  Die cut using a Spellbinder circle die.  Adhere to the card using foam pads.

All details of the products used can be found on the Heartfelt Creations Blog, please have a look and see what the other designers have been creating this week also!

The card instructions are:
Cut a piece of paper from the Sun Kissed Paper Collection to measure 11.5cm x 11.5cm.  Add blue ink to the edges and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Add to the card using double sided tape.  On separate white card stamp the sentiment in blue ink and heat emboss. Die cut using a Spellbinder circle die.  Add blue ink around the edges and heat emboss.  Die cut the leaf swirl using the reverse of the paper used previously.  Add the swirl to the reverse of the sentiment die cut and adhere to the card using foam pads.  Stamp the lower five flowers of the Sun Kissed Fleur stamp onto acetate using StazOn black ink and leave to dry.   Die cut the flowers using the matching Sun Kissed Fleur Die.  Overlay the three flowers onto the card, adhere using glue and add a pearl to the centres.

Baby Boy Card

Good Evening Everyone!
A New Baby card today using a baby giraffe stamp that I have had for so long!!  I stamped onto some Bazzill Basics cardstock and then cut one out and layered it up.  The sentiment was computer printed and I used a Spellbinder tag die underneath.  I used the Swiss dots embossing folder for the top half and added some ribbon and twine to complete.

Birthday Card

Good Evening Friends!  
I found this lovely vintage paper on my desk and it had to be used.  I opted for the same layout used on recent posts and used some more gold twine!  I am really enjoying using it as you can probably all tell, it just gives the card that 'finishing touch'!

Birthday Wishes

Good Morning! I really liked the design of my last small square card, so adapted it to make this birthday card. I had a tidy up and found this lovely Anna Griffin paper to use and a topper from Craftwork cards.  I have done a few more cards in the same layout with different papers, makes a really quick card.  My swiss dots embossing folder has been used again, must use an alternative next time!

Have a lovely day everyone,

Home Sweet Home....

Good Morning All!
A simple New Home card today. I bought this stamp some time ago and this was the first time I have used it!  I have lots more unused stamps, must dig them all out!  The green paper was a freebie with a magazine and the top shiny whitish card has a silky finish, which when embossed looks beautiful. (bought this pad for a bargain £2 at a recent craft show.)  The stamped image has been coloured in with my Promarkers and then some ribbon and gold twine added.

Have a lovely day everyone,

White and green......

Good Morning All!  Apologies for my absence recently, I was busy completing my semi-final projects for the Heartfelt Creations Design Team Call.  Also, thank you so much for your votes, very much appreciated, the wait is now on until the 1st of May when the finalists will be announced!
My card today is one that has been on my desk for some time and I have finally completed it.


I stamped the background using a Tim Holtz flourish stamp, used Spellbinder Floral ovals and a Marianne die for the focal point.  The border die is from Cheery Lynn and some ribbon was added.  Such a simple card, but I really like the colours I have used.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenge:

I would also like to say thank you very much to Nikki for my Liebster award.  She is another of the HC semi-finalists and has beautiful creations on her blog found here.

WOYWW - Week 200

Good Afternoon Everyone! 
I have a short post for WOYWW as my desk isn't very interesting today.  I have a card that I need to assemble which I have been trying to finalise a layout for since last week! I have purchased a new hole punch, storage box and blending mat this week, the mat is fantastic, holds the inks and makes blending so easy!  
All the details for WOYWW can be found on Julia's blog Stamping Ground.
