How's that for value? The paper collection includes card fronts, 6x6 and 12x12 pages that come in vibrant pinks and oranges with rich greens and yellows. This collection also has a wonderful selection of floral stamps to choose from. For a very limited time we will be offering a card kit with this collection. See it Here

Win All 2014 Product Collections! Purchase the Majestic Morning I Want It All Collection (IWIA 142) from January 8th - 15th 2014, and you will be entered to win all products we release in 2014. (2 random winners will be selected, prize valued at approx. $2,000.00)

Win the entire release: Leave a comment on the Heartfelt Creations blog by January 14th and you will be eligible to win the entire release valued at $180.00. The winner will be announced on January 15th on the Heartfelt Creations blog.

For my first creation with this beautiful new release, I made a gift bag using the tutorial I did back in November.  The bag is made using the Labels 23 Grand Die.  Here is a picture of the front of the bag with the flower image from the Majestic Morning Bouquet Set.  Aren't the colors beautiful!

I colored the image with pencils and mineral spirits to match the beautiful designer paper from the Majestic Morning Paper Collection that you can see underneath.   I fussy cut the flower image to pop it over 2 of the decorative stems from the Ornamental Add-On Die cut with white card stock.  I also popped 2 extra flowers over the image using the Majestic Morning Background Set and matching Majestic Blooms Die.  To finish the flower I then added some Champagne Microbeads to the center which I thought went nice with the yellow flowers on the designer paper.

Here is a picture of the other side of the gift bag using more of the flowers from the Majestic Morning Background Set.

I also added some leaves using the Open Leaf Set and matching Classic Leaf Die under the flower, then one of the decorative lattice die cuts from the Ornamental Add-On Die.

For the sides and handle on the gift bag, I used a heavy trim, added a couple of bows and pearls, then added one of the tags from the designer paper using a narrow ribbon.

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the beautiful creations by the designers this week!  Make sure to leave a comment there also for a chance to win the entire Majestic Morning Collection!

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!

Christmas Candle - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Wednesday everyone!

It's time for some Heartfelt Creations' inspiration!  I have another Christmas Card for you this week using the new Christmas Card Collection.  Last week my card was a little labor intensive, this time I have a fairly easy card to put together using the new papers!

The main image on this, the candle, is stamped and colored.  The background, though, is taken from the Christmas Card Collection Designer Paper.  I added a green mat to it and placed it on a white card base.  If you click on the photo, you can see how easy it was to put this together!

Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the beauties by the designers this week and to see who won the entire collection!

(Click on photo for a closer look)

I made a slider style card using scripture from the On Eagles' Wings Set.

For the sentiment inside, I used the Flourished Verses Set. 

Here's another photo of the card laying flat.

 

I had a little trouble with inspiration this week, so I made a trip to my local scrapbook store and found these pretty Authentique Papers called Cherish.  I love these papers with the roses and pinks!  I get a lot of my inspiration from designer papers and even though I have TONS already, LOL, I had to get more!  I did all the stamping directly on the solid designer papers.  Also, if you look closely, there is a faint eagle image with the verse on front.

Card recipe:

Stamps: On Eagles' Wings, Flourished Verses (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Natural White (Neenah), Cherish (Authentique), burgandy (DCWV), Always Artichoke
