Bella Rose Lattice - Heartfelt Creations

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a little inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!

This week I used an older set, Bella Rose Lattice Background, to make my card...I just love roses and couldn't resist using this set!

I colored the image with pencils and mineral spirits and fussy cut it so I could pop it on the yellow to make it stand out.  The yellow mat is cut using the Timeless Rectangles Die and is popped on a purple card base.  I added a purple bow and button to finish it off. 

Here's a little close up:

Harvest Rooster Vane

Happy Tuesday!

Today I have a card I made for CottageCutz using their new Harvest Rooster Vane Die from the Harvest Release and the Fancy Floral Lace Border Die.

As soon as I saw this die, I thought about doing red and white with gingham!  I used Ruby Slipper Cardstock from Bazzills to cut the dies and paired it with white and old gingham paper I found in my stash from DCWV's Bright Mat Stacks.  The white under the rooster is embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder to give it a little texture.  I matted this with more of the Ruby Slipper and added it to a white card base.  The bow is a black and white gingham ribbon from Michaels.  I added a red button threaded with white floss to the bow center and added 2 little heart buttons with glue dots on the top right corner.  The sentiment is from the Boards & Beams Set from Papertry Ink stamped directly on the gingham paper.

Here's a little close up of the rooster for you.

 

These are the dies I used:

Heartfelt Creations Blessing to Me

Happy Wednesday!

It's time for some inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!  I made this card using the Sweet Juliet Collection released in October.

I used the Antiquity Paper Collection for stamping the images on and colored directly on some of them with inks and a blender pen.  Not my usual coloring method, but I decided to do something a little quicker than normal.  The "berries" were added with Red Brick Stickles.  The flower on the bow is made using the Sweet Juliet Die, cutting the smaller flower twice.

Grapevine Wreath

Happy Saturday everyone!

I can't believe it's November already!  Time is going by so quickly, before you know it will be Thanksgiving!

Today I have a Thanksgiving Card to show you that I made using Build-A-Grapevine Wreath and Fall Owl Border, 2 new CottageCutz Dies from The Scrapping Cottage's Harvest Release.

 

To make my card, I started with a French Roast card base and added a mat of Very Vanilla Cardstock embossed with Rebecca Embossing Folder and inked with brown.  I cut the wreath with a bunch of scraps of browns, greens, oranges, and reds, shaped and inked the pieces and assembled them together.  The owl border was cut with French Roast and Quicksand Cardstock.  I taped the back of the Quicksand pieces so that the punched pieces would stay in place, then glued the French Roast border over it.  I then cut the border in pieces so I could add the owls around the wreath.  I also added a couple of extra acorns and a jute bow and button with twine in it to finish it off!

  
Here's a close up of the wreath and the little owls.  These little guys are so cute!

These are the dies I used on this:

 

 

 

Here are the ingredients I used:

CottageCutz Dies: Build-A-Grapevine Wreath, Fall Owl Border
Stamp: Season of Thanks (SU)
Paper: French Roast (Coredinations), Very Vanilla (SU), Quicksand, Ruby Slipper, Rain Forest (Bazzills), scraps
Ink: Forest Moss, Vintage Photo Distress Inks (Ranger)
Accessories: Natural Jute String (Really Reasonable Ribbon), green twine (May Arts), button, Bow-Easy, sponges, McGill Mat & Tool Kit, Rebecca Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug)

Heartfelt Creations - Beautiful Juliet

It's time for some Heartfelt Creations inspiration!  This week I have another card using the beautiful Sweet Juliet Collection!

This image is from the Beautiful Juliet Set.  Such a pretty and delicate image!  I colored this with my pencils and mineral spirits and add a little pencil shading on 3 of the letters.  With the image being more tall and slender, I used the Labels 4 and 8 Die shapes to compliment it.

CottageCutz - Witchy Treats

Happy Tuesday!

Today I have little Halloween treat bags I made using CottageCutz Large Confectionery Bag that I decorated with a new die from the Halloween Release called Fancy Witch Shoe.  These bags are perfect for the mini treats you give out for Halloween!  Wouldn't these be cute for children to give to their classmates?

I kept these real simple so it would be easy to make a bunch.  I used regular cardstock to die cut the bags, stamped them with a sentiment, and assembled them with scor-tape.  I then decorated them with the Fancy Witch Shoe die cut in black cardstock, mini black rick rack, and a bow.  To make the gluing easier, I used my Xyron Machine to glue the shoes to the bags.

Here's a little close up of the purple treat bag that has a mini Twix bar in it.

 

 

Here are the dies I used:

 

 

 

There's lots of different ways you can decorate these! I hope this gives you a little inspiration for Halloween!   Thanks for stopping by!

Heartfelt Creations - Sweet Juliet Heart Box

Happy Wednesday!  It's time for a little inspiration from Heartfelt Creations!  This week I have a mini paper mache heart box that I decorated using the new Sweet Juliet Collection of papers and dies.

Here's another view...

and another view from the side...

This box was super easy to decorate and makes a really cute gift box!  I fully intended to make a little notecard to go with this, but moving this past month has totally taken away any sense of normalcy in my craft room and I just plain forgot!  The good news is I now have a real craft room!  It has a door and everything!  I've been very busy unpacking everything and putting together storage cubes to organize everything, but it's almost done.  I can't wait to sit down and actually start creating again!

Thank you for stopping by today!  Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog to check out all the beautiful creations by the designers this week!  Also, voting for the new designers ends on the 18th.  If you haven't voted yet, here is the link for it.  I would love to be able to continue on the design team the next 6 months, but I can only stay on the team if I have enough votes!

CottageCutz - Boo!

Happy Saturday everyone! 

Today I have a cute Halloween card using 3 new Fall CottageCutz Dies.  From the Halloween Release I use Scarecrow Pumpkin and Spooky Ironwork Sign, and from the Harvest Release I used Harvest Fall Corner Dies! 

Aren't these too cute? 

I used a bunch of different colored cardstock (mostly scraps) and ink for this.  I shaped some of the pieces and inked in some shading and shadows.  The background is a piece of Iced Cocoa Coredinations Cardstock that is embossed with Triad Leaves Embossing Folder.  It's hard to tell in the picture, but the card base is black.   Here's a close-up of the Scarecrow Pumpkin with Harvest Fall Corner.

Here's a close-up of the Spooky Ironwork Sign.  I used a black marker to write "BOO!" on it.

These are the dies I used on this.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Blessings!
