Believe - Heartfelt Creations

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas with family and friends!  We're looking forward to a fun day together here in our new home!

Today I have a Christmas card to show you for Heartfelt Creations using one of the card fronts in their Christmas Card Collection Designer Papers. 

These card fronts make card making so easy!  I didn't do any stamping or anything on this!  I cut the card front from the designer paper, matted it with tan cardstock, wrapped it with some twine, and added it to a card base with pop dots.  It doesn't get much easier than that!

To embellish my card, I added bows, a button with twine, and a tag also cut from the designer paper.

I'm submitting this to the following Challenge:

I pray you all have a wonderful and blessed Christmas!

Blessings!

All About Christmas

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I have a couple of Christmas projects to show you!  The first is a very simple card I made for MY Christmas Cards this year!  I wanted something elegant and simple...this is what I came up with!

I just love the white and red combination on this showing the beautiful Elegant Flurry Snowflake Die cut.  Very easy card to put together!  I used a red card base and a white mat partially embossed with a snowflake die.  I stamped a sentiment on the bottom, wrapped some red ribbon around the mat, then added the snowflake and a bow!

My second project is a gift card holder I made using the Fancy Envelope Die, my new FAVORITE die!  It's perfect as a gift card holder, I love it!  I know I'll be using this one a lot!

To make the holder, I cut the envelope with white cardstock and again with some Christmas designer paper (Botanical Noel by Recollections).  I trimmed the designer paper piece to cover the flap and another piece for the back (taken from the inside of the pocket). 

The Poinsettia Spray was cut with various cardstock scraps that were shaped and slightly inked.  I also cut a bow with red cardstock using the Homemade Christmas Gift Set and added a button with a twine bow.   I also cut an additional poinsettia flower to decorate the flap with a couple of leaves.

These are the dies I used:

(Note: I don't have a picture of the Fancy Envelope Die.)

Key to My Heart

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Can you believe Christmas is only a week away?  Yikes, I'm so not ready for it!  Hopefully you're more prepared than I am!



Well, it's Wednesday, and that means it's time for some Heartfelt Creations inspiration!  Today I have a card I made using three of the Floral Key Collection stamp sets: Keys and Roses, Journey of Love Keys, and Burnished Key Sets. 

I wanted to place these images together and have the Timeless Rectangles Die framing it for something simple and elegant.  I stamped the images on white cardstock and colored them in pencils using pinks, browns, and a little green.  I love this flowered key image, it's one of my favorites from the collection.  I added the extra heart lock and keys "popped" on top of the original images.

Elegant Christmas Bell

 

 

Happy Thursday!

Today I have a Christmas card for you using Elegant Christmas Bell, Holly Berry Mini, and The Homemade Christmas Gift Set dies from The Scrapping Cottage.

(Click on photo for a better view)

For my card I started with a red base and added a white mat embossed with a snowflake die.  The Merry Christmas sentiment is cut using The Homemade Christmas Gift Set and red cardstock.  I ran it through my XYRON Create-a-sticker machine to make it easier to adhere to the card.  The Elegant Christmas Bell was cut with red and green cardstock and gold designer paper from Glad Tidings Mat Stack.  I glued the bell to the mat and then added branches that were inked with green and shaped a little.  The bow was inked with red and shaped it a little before adding it the to bell with pop dots.

I wrapped the plaid ribbon around the mat and added a bow made with the Bow-Easy.  I used the Holly Berry Mini with red and green cardstock to add holly to the bow center after shaping them a little with my fingers and a stylus. 

To finish the card off I added a button with a floss bow.

These are the dies I used.

Card recipe:

Paper: White (Recollections), Rain Forest, Ruby Slipper (Bazzills), Glad Tidings Mat (K & Co)
Ink: Real Red (SU), Vintage Photo Distress, Forest Moss Distress (Ranger)

Especially for You - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's time for a little inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!  This week I have another card made with the new Floral Key Collection.  This time I used blues with the beautiful browns in the collection.

The mat behind the images is one of the card fronts from the designer papers.  These card fronts make things a lot easier!  The flower image was colored with pencils and fussy cut.  The key is an extra key colored and popped over the image.  The sentiment oval was stamped on the designer paper, colored, and a extra key was popped over it.

Prayer Journal - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for some Heartfelt Creations inspiration!  This week I have a spiral notebook that I bought at Michaels for $.50 and altered into a prayer journal.  The notebook is 6" x 6" so it's perfect for the 6" x 6" designer paper blocks in the Floral Key Paper Collection.  Here is the "before" picture showing how I removed the covers.

Here is the front of the book after altering it.  Looks a little bit nicer doesn't it?  You can click on the photos for a better view.

 Here is the inside cover with image of Matthew 7:7.

 Here are the back covers.

Grandma's Goodies Tag

Happy Monday!

Today I have a cute gift tag I made using the Fancy Insert Card/Tag and In the Kitchen Clear Stamps by Cottage Impressions!

This tag die comes in handy for lots of things and I thought it would be perfect as a tag for baked goodies!  I LOVE the images from this stamp set, they're so cute and fun to color!  (Unfortunately, I just realized the stamp set is retired now!)

Here's a close up of the pie and cookbook images.

Aren't they cute?  I stamped them on white cardstock with black ink and colored them with pencils.  I then fussy cut them which was very easy, and inked the edges a little with black.

I die cut the tag using Visions of Christmas paper by K & Co. stamped it with "Grandma's Goodies" sentiment from the set, and inked the edges with brown ink.  I added the images to the tag with pop dots and added some baby rick rack.  I punched a hole in the tag and added some white jute for a tie and then added a bow, button and twine.

Here are the Scrapping Cottage stamp and die I used:

 

Tag recipe:

CottageCutz Die: Fancy Insert Card/Tag
Stamps: In the Kitchen Clear Stamps (Cottage Impressions) (Retired)
Paper: Visions of Christmas (K & Co), Solar White (Neenah)

Jolly Penguin

Happy Friday everyone!

Today I have a Christmas card for you using the Jolly Penguin CottageCutz Die from The Scrapping Cottage!

Aren't these little guys cute delivering presents on their sleigh?  I love the little one sitting on the sleigh with his candy cane!

I used a bunch of different colored cardstocks for the die pieces and a little bit of designer paper called Botanical Noel by Recollections.  I inked and shaped most of the pieces before gluing them together.  I added an extra sleigh to go under the sentiment and added some adhesive pearls to embellish it.  I embossed the upper part of the white mat with Perfect Polka Dots to make it look like it was snowing behind the penguins, I then matted it with Ruby Red Cardstock from Bazzills and popped it on a green card base using Forest by Coredinations.





Here is a picture of the Jolly Penguin Die I used.

CottageCutz Die: Jolly Penguin
Stamp: Teeny Tiny Wishes (SU)

Spellbinders Platinum Party Blog Hop - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Thursday everyone!

Welcome to the second day of the Spellbinders Platinum Party Blog Hop!!!  I'm so excited to be participating in the Hop today with Spellbinders for Heartfelt Creations!  I hope you are having fun hopping and enjoying all the beautiful creations on your way!

You can find all the rules for the contest at the Spellbinders Blog here and be sure to visit all the participating blogs to be eligible for the Grand Prize.

For your chance to win the Grand Prize for the Platinum Party please enter here! 

For my project, I will be showing you how I made this special Christmas gift bag using the Grand Labels 23 Die and lots of other Spellbinders and Heartfelt Creations products!

You can make this bag and decorate it for any occasion and it's pretty simple to put together!

I put together a little picture tutorial in a separate post to show you how I did it...sorry I don't have a video camera...yet!

To decorate my bag, I used Spellbinders Dies and  Heartfelt Creations designer papers, stamps, and dies.  I matted the front and back of the bag with light brown designer paper from the Christmas Card Paper Collection by cutting it with the same Labels 23 Grand die, scoring it in the same manner, and trimming the front and back pieces to fit.  I then inked them with Soft Suede Ink and glued them to the bag.

The poinsettia flower was made with the Christmas Poinsettia PreCut Set and the matching Sun Kissed Fleur Die.  The wonderful thing about these is you stamp the one image and cut it with one die and you get 10 different flowers and 2 leaves at once!  It's a huge time saver and I love having extra flowers leftover to use when ever I need them! 

For my flower here, I used Solar White Cardstock and Onyx Black Ink.  I colored 3 of the flowers with Periwinkle and Black Prismacolor Pencils using mineral spirits.  The flower was shaped using the Paper Blossoms Molding Mat and Tool Kit and glued together.  I then added Antique Copper Microbeads to the flower center.  I cut 2 of the flourishes from the Ornamental Add On Die with Soft Suede Cardstock, glued them tip to tip as shown, and popped the poinsettia flower on top.

For the back of the bag, I cut one of the other flourishes from the Ornamental Add On Die with Soft Suede Cardstock and one of each snowflake from the Banner & Tree Die with Natural White Cardstock and glued together as shown adding an adhesive pearl to the center.

I added a bow on each side of the bag made with Danish Blue Seam Binding and an adhesive pearl to the center.  The handle of the bag is a jute ribbon sample I received from Really Reasonable Ribbon that I thought looked kind of cute as a handle!

The gift tag was made with Spellbinders Holiday Tags Dies.  I stamped the sentiment from Heartfelt Creations' Love At Christmas PreCut Set on more of the light brown designer paper with Soft Suede.  This was cut out with the tag die, along with another cut from Soft Suede cardstock.  I glued these together, inked the edges, and added some twine for a tie.

Gift Bag Tutorial

Hi there!

Here is the tutorial I did showing you how I made the gift bag for the Spellbinders Blog Hop using their Labels 23 Grand Die.

You can make this bag and decorate it for any occasion and it's pretty simple to put together!  I put together a little picture tutorial to show you how I did it...sorry I don't have a video camera...yet!

1. I started with the largest die from Labels 23 Grand Dies and cut it with Soft Suede Cardstock.

2. On the wrong side of the die cut, score edge to edge as follows: on the short side score down the outside scallop on each side, then on the long side score down either side of the center scallop.  Use picture as a guide.

3. On long side of die cut, cut score lines from outside to where the lines meet score lines from short side.

4. Score 2 corner flaps on one of the long sides 7/8" in from outside edge.

5. Turn die cut over and fold score lines, then snip off the outside corners of the 4 flaps (so they don't show when folded up)
.

 

6. Use Scor-tape to adhere folded flaps together.

7.Turn over to right side and add Scor-tape to the middle flaps.

8. Turn over and adhere to unfolded sides.  Add Scor-Tape to inside of folded sides.

9. Adhere to outside to complete bag.  The finished bag measures 3" x 1 3/4" and is 3" tall.

Here's a view of my project from above:

And a view of the back:

 

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and have fun making these!

Blessings!

Heartfelt Creations - Peace

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I have a Christmas card for you today with this beautiful "Peace" image from the Peaceful Night Set from Heartfelt Creations.

(Click on photo for a closer view)

I love this blue and brown color combo together for Christmas!  I stamped the image on Solar White and colored it with pencils and mineral spirits.  I love the little scene inside the "P"!   The scalloped circle behind the image and the blue mat are from the Christmas Card Paper Collection, so pretty, I love that blue paper!  The card base is Soft Suede that matches the designer papers really well.
