WOYWW (Thurdsay) - What's On Your Workdesk? # 293

Good Morning and thank you for the lovely comments on my card yesterday.

I thought I would participate in WOYWW (on Thursday) this week to share some work in progress.

These are some bits that are currently on my desk this week. In the first photo I have used the same stamp as yesterday but with distress inks.  Below, I have stamped, die cut then coloured with promarkers.

Need a few more elements and cardstock to finish these projects!

Thanks for visiting me today,

Heartfelt Creations - Birds and Blooms Collage

Good Morning all on this cold, winter morning!
It is Wednesday and we have a new release today by Heartfelt Creations, the Birds and Blooms Collection.
For my project this week, I opted to use my gilding flakes as I had not used them in a while to create an elegant but simple card.  I also used cream linen card and when you apply the gilding flakes, they also take on the texture from the card! This card was difficult to photograph and looks much better when seen up close.

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 :  13 1/2cm x 17cm (5 1/2" x 6 3/4").

Instructions:

Stamp the collage image onto cream linen card using the flitterglu and apply the gilding flakes. Using the largest Matting Basics die, die cut a frame from the same cream card.  Cut down to the size required, Adhere over the main image using foam pads.  Cut down to leave a small border around the frame - mine measured 13 1/2cm x 17cm (5 1/2" x 6 3/4").  Create a loopy bow on the bow maker and tie around the card frame. Add a separate piece of card to the back to complete the card.

As always, the products used can be found on the Heartfelt Creations blog,

Card Size :   12 1/2cm x 14 1/2cm (4 7/8" x 5 5/8").

Instructions:

Create a card blank from cream linen card. Cut a separate piece of the same cardstock to measure 12cm x 14cm (4 5/8" x 5 3/8").  Centre the Lattice piece die and die cut.  Die cut 2 Large flourishes from the same card stock.  Adhere one flourish on the reverse securing with glue.  Use the other flourish to fill in the area until filled as shown, cutting down pieces to fit. (I used this tutorial ). Add foam pads to the reverse and cover the aperture with green cardstock.  Adhere into place onto the main card front. Die cut a Large Juliet flower, form into shape and secure with the green brad. Die cut the daisy cluster twice from yellow card stock. Snip off the flowers and mould into shape.

Heartfelt Creations - Tea Bag Holder

Good Evening All and Happy New Year! Hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed your New Year celebrations!
Here is my project this week for Heartfelt Creations using the latest collection.  I made a Tea Bag Holder using papers and dies from The Romantique Garden Collection. Really pleased with how it has turned out and it was easy to create.  I have filled mine with 2 individually wrapped tea tags, but you could also put chocolates in there too - could make it into a small Valentine's gift!


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

Instructions:
Use this tutorial to create the Tea Bag Holder.  Select the paper shown from the paper collection to make the inner part.  Use white card to create the outer holder, then cover with matching paper. Stamp the flower blossoms with black ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.  Use your promarkers to colour the flower blossoms, use a blender to lighten some areas and add some dimension using a shaping tool. Adhere the tea bag holder together, adding some ribbon on the inside.  Die cut 2 branches from cream card.  Adhere into place on the front.  Arrange the blooms as shown, adhere using foam pads.  Die cut the sentiment using the ticket die.  Adhere into place using foam pads to complete.
