Heartfelt Creations - Blue Bird and Blooms

Good Evening All! Hope you are all well and keeping safe in this January weather. I got soaked this morning and my umbrella was blown inside out.  My niece's umbrella broke and ended up stuck in her hair!  Was very glad to get home for a nice hot cup of tea!
As it is Wednesday, here is my project this week for Heartfelt Creations.  I took a photo of my work in progress once again at the start.  So from this.....

to this very CAS card.

Card Size :    12cm x 12 1/2cm (4 3/4" x 5").

Instructions:
Dry emboss a piece of white card using the brick wall embossing folder.  Cut down to measure 
11 1/2cm x 12cm (4 1/2" x 4 5/8").  Run your scissors down the sides of the card to create a rough edge. Add to the main cardfront using foam pads. Select the message topper shown from the paper collection and die cut using the matching die.  Go around the edges with a light blue promarker. Add to the main card with foam pads.  Stamp the blossoming branch image onto white card using black memento ink, die cut using the matching die and colour using promarkers.  Shape the flowers using the shaping tools and add the blue beads to the centres. Add to the card using foam pads behind the branches and leaves, but glue the flowers direct to the card. Stamp the bird onto white card using black ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder.  Die cut using the matching die, colour with the promarkers.  Adhere to the card using foam pads to complete.

Heartfelt Creations - Pink Birthday Blooms

Good Morning All! 

 Here is my project this week for Heartfelt Creations.  I took a photo of this card when I first started  putting the elements together.  I wanted it to be pinkish, pink flowers and a topper with pink in it.  So from this.....

to this ......my finished card!  So pleased with how it turned out!

Card Size :   10 1/2cm x  13 1/2cm (4 1/8" x 5 3/8"). 

Instructions:

Select the card topper shown from the paper collection and cut out.  Add the pink ink around the edges and heat emboss using clear embossing powder.  Create a card blank with the above measurements and adhere the topper central using double sided tape.  Stamp the sentiment onto white card using black ink and heat emboss using clear embossing powder. Die cut using the largest oval die ensuring the sentiment is just off centre to the right.  Using the largest lacey oval die, die cut this shape using the pink card. Adhere these together using foam pads and add to the card using double sided tape.  Stamp the blossoms onto white card using pink ink and die cut using the matching die - do this 3 times.  Add yellow colouring the the centres and pink to the petals using the Fantastix blending tools.  Shape the flowers using the shaping tools and add the yellow beads to the centres.

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!

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.

(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.
