Yellow Enchanted Mum

Happy Wednesday!

I have a new card for you today using Heartfelt Creations' Enchanted Mum Collection!

The flower is from the Enchanted Mum Bouquet Set that I stamped and die cut twice and partially glued together. I love that the image has a matching die! No fussy cutting on this one! I also added some dragonflies using the Enchanted Dragonflies Set and matching die. The green and yellow "frame" is a card panel from the Enchanted Mum Paper Collection that I trimmed down and die cut the center.

The images were stamped with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel. Coloring of these was done with chalk inks and make-up applicators. I used the same method on these that I did in the tutorial here. To finish the card I added some Heart of Gold Prills to the flower center and a little Diamond Stickles here and there to the flower, leaf centers and dragonflies.

Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see what the designers have for you this week! Emma Lou also has a new video for you here using the Enchanted Mum Collection! She make things look so easy!

This week I have a gate fold card for you using this new collection!

I used the Enchanted Mum Bouquet for the pretty flourish and the Enchanted Dragonflies for the dragonflies and the sentiment banner on the inside.  The images were stamped with Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel on Natural White Cardstock and colored with chalk inks using make-up applicators. Here is a tutorial I did on this coloring technique is you would like to check it out.

All of these pieces were die cut with matching dies (LOVE these matching dies) and then I glued them to the Natural White background cut with Labels 28. I also created a "frame" for the image by taping 2 of the Label 28 dies together and die cutting with Natural White Cardstock. The green background is cut with the Decorative Labels 28 die.

Here is  a picture of the card open so you can see the inside.

Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see the designers beautiful projects this week! Emma Lou also has a wonderful tutorial showing you how to shape the mum flowers.

Berry Sweet Raspberries Card and Gift Bag

Happy Wednesday!

I'm back with a cute card and gift bag using Heartfelt Creations' Farmers Market Collection!

I made the card clean and simple using a kraft pre-made card for the base. I stamped the sentiment directly on the base, then added one of the large raspberry swirls colored with pencils and mineral spirits. I love these stamped images with the matching die! So easy to work with! Then I added a bow and pearl to embellish it.

For the gift bag, I used a kraft pre-made bag and added some of the beautiful designer paper to cover the front of it. I then embellished it with some lace, trim, bows and a tag cut from the designer papers. A quick and easy gift presentation with a card to match!
