Just for you.

Thought I'd share a card I made for my Aunts wedding anniversary!

I've been itching to have a go a this style card with the Decorative Medallion die!

It really is EZ to do! I had this made in less than 30mins! Shh.... don't tell her lol!

I have a box of flowers already made that I used. 

I love having a stash of flowers on hand!

There is a real mix of collections here! 

But don't they go well together?

That's what I love about Heartfelt Creations!

I love how blue and pink work together so well!

Good job as I love these colours to work with!

Have a fabulous day and lots of crafty fun! 

Sunflower Tutorial

I LOVE this time of year! I get to make lots and lots of sunflowers!

I use them for some Thanksgiving cards I have to send to the USA and I 

have a few birthday cards in autumn too!

Here is a quick & EZ tutorial for you to make them too!
Have fun!

Stamp the Classic Sunflower in brown ink on white card and shade with Cantaloupe ink.

Die cut the flowers with the Classic Sunflower die and shade the petal tips with

Memento Potters Clay ink.

Using the flower shaping tools spray the backs of the flowers with water and then

shape each petal so that they come inwards.

Turn the flower over and using a circular motion around the line shown in the

picture above shape so that the petal come upwards.

Pinch the tips of the flowers for added shape. Using a sponge

apply glue over the flowers and cover with Crystal Clear Powder.

Add Prills to the flower centres and your flowers are complete!

Have fun making flowers, these sunflowers go perfect with the new

Beary Fun Retreat collection! Perfect for all your autumnal cards! 

To make these flowers I used the following:

Fairy door Card

Just had to share this Fairy Door card I made!

I made it for a family member as they have a cute Fairy garden!

Now if only I had made it so the door opened and you could look inside!

A thought to do tho!!! lol! 

I made it using the Botanic Window die, You can see other

cards made using this and a tutorial HERE

Have a great day and lots of crafty fun! 

I used the following on my card: 

Make a Window shaped card - Tutorial

Creating a shaped card with the Botanic Window Die is EZ

and can be done in 30 mins or less!

I was LIVE on Heartfelt Creations FaceBook Page 

showing you just how EZ this really is! Watch HERE

There are two ways to make a card, a side fold or a tent fold.

Here is how to make a tent fold card first.

Step 1: Take a 4 1/2" wide and 6" long tent folded piece of card.

Step 2: Lay the card over the die so you have a gap in the top

of the arch as in the pic below.

Step 3: Run through the die machine and you should have a die cut like the one below.

Step 4: Cut a single die cut and adhere this to the front of the card

and you have a card base to work from.

For the card above I die cut the outer of the inner window die,

inked the edges, stamped a sentiment and adhered with 3D

foam pads  and added flowers and leaves and it's done!

To make it as a side fold card you will need a side folded piece of card

4 1/2" wide and 6" long.

Step 1: Lay the folded side of the card onto the die and tape down. 

The fold needs to be on the inside of the outer cut line down the 

bottom side of the die as in the pic below.

Step 2: Run this through your die cutting machine and your die cut

will be as the pic below.

Step 4: Cut a single die cut and adhere this to the front of the card

and you have a card base to work from. I cut mine in pink paper

from the Winters Eve collection.

For the above card I cut the outer die of the inner window using

paper from the Winters Eve collection and then die cut the inner part

to create the window bars from pink paper. 

Adhering both to the card front and adding flowers and a sentiment.

There are so many options of how you can make this card, use clear card to 

see through the front to the inside and add scenic papers inside the card!

Add a scenic die cut to the front and decorate with flowers.

Make the front with clear card and see right through so the inside becomes part of the front!

Or just cut out and layer all the bits on the front!

The choice is yours! Just have fun making some cards with this die!

This shape is perfect for wedding, christening, baptism, 

confirmation and sympathy cards and invitations!

Happy crafting! 

I used the following on my cards:

Christmas Poinsettia Tutorial

You know I love all things sparkly! Lol!

Here is a step by step tutorial for you to create

quick & EZ flowers for your Christmas projects using 

the Celebrate the Season collection from Heartfelt Creations.

Have fun making lots of these!

Step 1: Stamp the Poinsettia flowers from the Celebrate the Season collection in black ink. Using the Precision Daubers shade over the leaves in green ink and the flowers in ColorBox Berrylicious ink.

Step 2: Using the coordinating dies die cut all the flowers and leaves.

Step 3: Add color to the petal centres by using the triangular tip of the dauber

and shade upwards from the centre.

Step 4: See the photo for what your flower should now look like.

Step 5: Using the Deluxe Flower Shaping tool set shape the leaves from the back of the die cut.

Step 6: Turn the leaves over and press down into the centre of the leaves.

Step 7: Shape the flowers from the back with the shaping tool.

Step 8: Turn the flower over and press down in the centre so the petals raise.

Step 9: Using a sponge and dries clear glue, apply the glue over the flowers and cover with Crystal Clear Powder to create a sparkly flower! TIP: Press down in the centre again with your shaping tool to bring the petals back up.

Step 10: Adhere prills to the flower centres. Use your beautiful flowers on your Christmas projects!

Have fun making these flowers, they are perfect to use with the Winter's Eve collection!

I Used the following to make my flowers:

Christmas Shadow Box

I wanted to share with you a project I made LIVE on Heartfelt Creations

Facebook page before I went on holiday!

You can watch the video HERE to see all the measurement and
how I made this wrap around shadow box.

I was inspired by the one Rajni Chawala made when these

Foldout Card blanks and dies were released.

I finally got to make one too!

I made a pocket on the inside so messages and photo's can be added.

And the shadow box itself I put all the presents inside to make it feel as though they 

were beneath the tree Christmas morning!

I wanted to create a story from the front, it's like you are looking inside through the window

and then when you open it up you see all the gifts and the little girl

by the Christmas tree. Of course I used lots of glitter on this!!! lol! 

I had such crafty fun with this project! I can't believe I have only just used this shadow box now when it was released last year! 

Have lots of crafty fun!

I used the following stamps and dies to make my project.

Happy Birthday

Thought I would share this card I made for a friends birthday.

My little girl bless her wanted this one! 

Maybe I will make her one for her birthday! Bless! 

I made the card blank using the Decorative Medallion dies

and have a tutorial HERE for you to make one too.

I used the Wildwood Cottage collection to decorate the card with.

The image is all glittered up, you know me I love my sparkle!!! lol!

I just love the effect of this shaped card!

Have lots of crafty fun everyone!

Sparkly Christmas Shoes & Tutorial

Join me LIVE on Heartfelt Creations Facebook page today at 3pm UK time

for some crafty fun making these two gorgeous sparkly shoes and

vellum poinsettias!

Don't worry if you miss it you can still watch!

The show above was made to look like it had been walking in snow,

I am just loving the Frosting Powder to make snowy effects with!

For this card I used a technique inspired from Emma Lou using the

stamps from the Festive Holly collection and lots of glitter and glass shards!

I made the shoe sparkly and left the flower not!

Here is a quick tutorial on how I made sparkly vellum poinsettias that

were inspired by designer Patricia Manhire. You can see her beautiful project HERE.

I used paper from the Festive Holly paper pad and decoupaged up the pattern

on the heel. I did think this would make and amazing winter wedding card!

Here is how I made the beautiful flowers:

Step 1: Stamp the flowers on vellum and heat emboss with a gold embossing powder.

Die cut the flowers with the coordinating die.

Step 2: Colour the backs of the flowers with red ink.

Step 3: From the back shape the petals using the flower shaping tool.

Turn them over and press down in the centre to raise the petals.

Step 4: Using a sponge apply glue gently over the petals and cover

with the Crystal Clear powder.

Step 5: Adhere prills to the flower centres.

Use your sparkly flowers on your Christmas projects and have fun!
