Nuts and Bolts - Heartfelt Creations & Really Reasonable Ribbon

Happy Wednesday!

I'm back again with another card using the new All Geared Up Collection released last week by Heartfelt Creations.  This time I'm using the Nuts and Bolts Set.

I stamped the image with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and colored it with pencils and mineral spirits. (You can click on the photo for a closer view.) The 'frame' was made using one of the card fronts from the designer papers that I trimmed.

Today we are also doing a cross-promotional blog hop with Really Reasonable Ribbon - my favorite place to buy ribbon!!!  I used their gorgeous Copper Forest Silk Ribbon and Bow-Easy Tool to make this beautiful bow!  I love the way their silk ribbon drapes, so pretty and the 2 tones on the ribbon really make an eye-catching bow!

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog and the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week!

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.

Flourishes - Thank You Tag

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today I have a thank you tag I made for the latest Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday Challenge #FTTC214 - Wrap It With Ribbon - 2 layers ribbon or combine twine together. 

Here is a picture of the tag flat.

 

 

Here is a picture of it standing up.

 

This is my first attempt to make a tag, it's about time I tried one of these!  I colored this flower image with pencils and mineral spirits and cut it with the Timeless Rectangles Die.  I added a little bit of a brown mat behind it.  The tag is made from the same brown paper and a parchment type paper I had in my stash.  I punched the bottom corners and added the sentiment between them.  I added lots of twine, jute, and ribbon for the "tassell" and a couple of bows and a button.

I'm also submitting this to the latest Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #RRR69 - Buttons & Bowns Theme.

Tag recipe:

Stamps: With Graditude (Flourishes)
Paper: Natural White (Neenah), Mocha Devine (Bazzills), parchment paper (stash)

CottageCutz Birdie in Blossoms

Hi there!

Today I have a new card to show you using CottageCutz Dies.

For my card, I used the bird from the Bluebird Die, the flowers and branch from the Blossom Branch Die, and the frame from the Oval Doily & Frame Die.

I used a piece of designer paper (Secret Garden - Graphic 45) with a pretty bird and flower image and enhanced it with the dies matching the colors. The bird from the Bluebird Die, was cut with white paper and colored with Aegean Blue Chalk Ink and Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The beak and feet were inked with Red Brick Chalk Ink. The Blossom Branch was cut with peach cardstock for the flowers and green for the branch. The flowers were shaped with a mat and tool kit, inked with Red BrickChalk Ink, and dotted with Buttercup Liquid Pearls in the center. The branch was cut to piece around the lower corner of the image. The frame from the Oval Doily & Frame was cut with Natural White Cardstock.

I added a bow made with Natural Jute String from Really Reasonable Ribbon and the Bow-Maker. I didn't add a sentiment to this, but a small, short sentiment would be cute on the bottom right or as a tag hanging from the bow.

Here are pictures of the dies I used on this.

 

 

CottageCutz has a new release for Februrary called "This 'N That" that has lots of fun dies including envelopes, bags, tags and tabs.  You can see them all here at their store!

CottageCutz Wedding Chapel

Happy Thursday everyone!

Today I have a center step card I made using two of CottageCutz Dies, Wedding Chapel and Blossom Branch.  I just love these dies, they are so much fun to work with!

I cut out all the pieces with white cardstock and colored them with inks using sponges and make-up applicators.  Some of the pieces were shaped a little with a molding mat and stylus.  Here's a close-up of the die pieces.   I love how the flowers came out with the blue ink and liquid pearls.

These are the CottageCutz Dies that I used.
