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.

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.....

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

Instructions:

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.

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.

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!

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.

Heartfelt Creations - Romantique Birds

Good Morning All! We are getting very close to Christmas now, where has all the time gone? I still have so much to prepare and get ready and no tree up yet! When I was growing up, we used to put up the tree on my Birthday as this then counted down the 12 days to Christmas! Hoping to do it one day next week to make the house more festive whilst making more dried orange decorations - just love the smell around the home from them! Made some a few years ago and they have lasted, just need to make some more to give as little presents.

Here is my project this week for Heartfelt Creations.  A very, very simple quick and easy card to create, with a little silver twine to complete.  I have added glitter accents to the flowers, but it was really difficult to photograph - it is there I promise!

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

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

Instructions:
Create a card blank from white card.  Select the paper shown from the paper collection and cut to measure the card front size. Add pink ink around the edges and heat emboss with clear powder. Adhere to the card front using double sided tape. Create a loopy bow using silver twine on the bow maker, add to the card corner as shown.  Secure on the reverse. (I made a tiny hole on the top fold and threaded the cord through).  Add silver twine to the oppopsite corner too.  Add glitter highlights to the flowers and flower centres using a glitter pen.

Heartfelt Creations - Romantique Swans Swimming

Good Morning All! Hope you are all feeling festive now that we are in December? I have my Birthday this month too, which  gets mixed up in all the festive preparations!  I still have lots to do as always and the frosty weather is not helping!

Here is my project this week for Heartfelt Creations.  I wanted to use the beautiful swans and water stamps and created my own inked background.

This card is fairly easy to make and the instructions can be found below.  The products used can be found on the Heartfelt Creations blog, along with more ideas and inspiration from the design team.

Card Size :    11 1/2cm x 11 1/2cm (4 1/2" x 4 1/2")

Instructions:

Create a card blank using white card.  Cut a piece of white card to measure 10 1/2cm x 10 1/2cm 

(4" x 4").  Using stencil tape, create a narrow edged frame on your card. Using the ink dusters, gently add colour to the card. Begin with the pink, then add blue to the lower half.  Add black ink to the water stamp and stamp several times on the lower half - any gaps I filled in using a Promarker pen. Remove the stencil tape carefully.  Using a black Promarker (with a fine nib) and a piece of spare card, create a frame around your work. Cut another piece of white card to cover the card front.  Use the ruler to create a pierced edge.  Adhere to the card using foam pads. Stamp the swans onto white card using black ink and heat emboss with clear powder. Die cut using the matching dies.  Add some detailing with a grey pen and colour in around the edges.  Add the main image to the card using foam pads and also the swans. Create a loopy bow from silver cord ribbon. Add to the card as shown.
