As you may have already noticed if you've taken a peek at the decorative papers from this collection, you'll see that the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/ornate-window-cling-stamp-set" target="_blank">Ornate Window</a> appears...so I thought it was only fitting for a second card to showcase how well this stamp and coordinating die work with this newest holiday release!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Here's a peek at my creation for this week...</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG51T3vlAJOr6H4gF6Ter8APE3xv8vZtoJVWbdQJcgPPrAnX7cmXYFSXjIIMRR0iNe1kfmiY7dlfYk08vBEtgRbQM_4qAMf8zZm1LUfcSkyDmArQ1MlWbrUY0Sz-X3E2EeTzyQsJRrY_GM32wdwo2gyulshbNzY0VKjfpE9u9n-vtJKxSGz-L1cW5t1w/s1781/Festive-Christmas-Holiday-Wishes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1781" data-original-width="1290" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG51T3vlAJOr6H4gF6Ter8APE3xv8vZtoJVWbdQJcgPPrAnX7cmXYFSXjIIMRR0iNe1kfmiY7dlfYk08vBEtgRbQM_4qAMf8zZm1LUfcSkyDmArQ1MlWbrUY0Sz-X3E2EeTzyQsJRrY_GM32wdwo2gyulshbNzY0VKjfpE9u9n-vtJKxSGz-L1cW5t1w/w464-h640/Festive-Christmas-Holiday-Wishes.jpg" width="464" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">I tried to keep this card a little more simple so that I could showcase the window well and keep it as the main focal point, just slightly accented. I've stamped the window illustration in <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/memento-dye-ink-pad-peanut-brittle" target="_blank">Memento Peanut Brittle</a>...I've inked two of them, and edged them with the same color as well. The first one I have cut out the outline and the center. The second stamped image I've used only the topper. The window pane portion has been adhered to the card front, while the frame has been added with dimensional foam tape to give the window some dimension and interest. The topper has then been added with foam tape as well. I've also created a blue "window pane" by die cutting an arched portion from a lighter blue decorative paper.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I knew I wanted that little image of the three birdies in a row to accent the bottom of the window sill. Aren't they just so darling sitting there! They've been stamped with from the Berries and Birdies Cling Stamp Set onto bristol smooth marker paper using Ranger Archival Black Ink, and have then been colored up with my <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/zig-clean-color-real-brush-markers-48-pack" target="_blank">Zig markers!</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">...here's a closer peek at them...</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhY7A4eaLpJJqhOn-rVXOK4f9zotflllqHumthdDXMqIRiqO8UIL0DFrgByyJOywL2eMntVXWeey3S9_AsUnuCbDkFezpUg42xbCloDa02ZlJqAzJ7__NRca7IYMgDPlGfmJjh5wIYoGzI1tgC5x3DvuQmWqVAhOGd_-8ZCGLrQf6TGFcrerohRBt5rg/s3434/Fesive-Christmas-Holiday-Wishes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2192" data-original-width="3434" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhY7A4eaLpJJqhOn-rVXOK4f9zotflllqHumthdDXMqIRiqO8UIL0DFrgByyJOywL2eMntVXWeey3S9_AsUnuCbDkFezpUg42xbCloDa02ZlJqAzJ7__NRca7IYMgDPlGfmJjh5wIYoGzI1tgC5x3DvuQmWqVAhOGd_-8ZCGLrQf6TGFcrerohRBt5rg/w640-h408/Fesive-Christmas-Holiday-Wishes.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Of course I couldn't create a holiday card without putting a poinsettia on it! And I love the foliage stamps and dies in this newest collection because they build up a beautiful backdrop for the flowers quickly and easily!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I opted to go with a smaller sized poinsettia which I created from the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/christmas-poinsettia-holly-cling-stamp-set" target="_blank">Christmas Poinsettia & Holly Cling Stamp Set</a>, <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/christmas-poinsettia-holly-die" target="_blank">coordinating dies</a> and <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/3d-christmas-poinsettia-shaping-mold" target="_blank">shaping mold</a>! I love how that system makes it so quick to create elegant and beautiful smaller poinsettias!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I chose to go very simple with the sentiment as well, just working it into the design of the floral cluster! I like the way it turned out...a little different way to add a sentiment! It was easy to do...I stamped the sentiment in <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/memento-dye-ink-pad-danube-blue" target="_blank">Memento Danube Blue</a>, trimmed down to the size I wanted and then snipped in between the words...a quick edging with Ranger Archival Leaf Green and they were ready to be tucked into the floral cluster!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">...here's a closer look...</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSJkAFrGZ5PNhULmu5wHwc9aspSH_LN6u1XXTJD5yArDmL0WsnZWusY4j3eGrNY4_4Y1zyFEHoEeWu0N57EuNoPKNj0c36xew4GG5tp1gVbLUz-1UtXt_4Afy7qnETb99ek5iRD446yIZDYybo2hVdCVfBMKnaQ3-_-5XYqXwR_m85TbFv__eFXlHF2A/s4030/Christmas-Wishes-Holiday-Wishes-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2719" data-original-width="4030" height="432" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSJkAFrGZ5PNhULmu5wHwc9aspSH_LN6u1XXTJD5yArDmL0WsnZWusY4j3eGrNY4_4Y1zyFEHoEeWu0N57EuNoPKNj0c36xew4GG5tp1gVbLUz-1UtXt_4Afy7qnETb99ek5iRD446yIZDYybo2hVdCVfBMKnaQ3-_-5XYqXwR_m85TbFv__eFXlHF2A/w640-h432/Christmas-Wishes-Holiday-Wishes-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Aren't those little birdies nestled in among the foliage just so cute!

I love birds, so of course this collection won over my heart immediately! The beautiful color palette is amazing with it's different hues of moody blues, rosy reds and elegant greens! And the wonderful foliage accents make creating breathtaking floral clusters quick and easy!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Here's a peek at my first creation using this new collection...</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilpzQy5eLaYDPhZrjFOtcNwSIpBZUI34xxzRfeYU5MGwJOqqTaaY3NPMtPtuAb-_JW_WrbGvx04Em1ZzTBc6YvuR_4HuwCy2CCVDWHN_pb2AXhFnoiah4SwH82n3Uw_rodBZWJLHcaEu1M5PcgvcEQ6Ot-Rp49RopDe6RwFVB3rSVfFghw1uiJFlSC-w/s2254/Festive-Christmas-Wonderful-Wishes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2254" data-original-width="1605" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilpzQy5eLaYDPhZrjFOtcNwSIpBZUI34xxzRfeYU5MGwJOqqTaaY3NPMtPtuAb-_JW_WrbGvx04Em1ZzTBc6YvuR_4HuwCy2CCVDWHN_pb2AXhFnoiah4SwH82n3Uw_rodBZWJLHcaEu1M5PcgvcEQ6Ot-Rp49RopDe6RwFVB3rSVfFghw1uiJFlSC-w/w456-h640/Festive-Christmas-Wonderful-Wishes.jpg" width="456" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I created a very simple card base by just doing some matting, and then created a decorative frame with the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/decorative-circle-frames-die" target="_blank">Decorative Circle Frames Die</a> to showcase the pretty sentiment. By adding some <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/luxe-gold-cardstock" target="_blank">Gold Luxe Card Stock</a> into the design, it immediately turns into an elegant and regal holiday card. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I chose to use the larger bird image in the Berries and Birdies Cling Stamp Set. I've stamped it with <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/ranger-archival-ink-pad-jet-black" target="_blank">Ranger Archival Black ink </a>onto bristol smooth marker paper. I've then colored the image with my <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/zig-clean-color-real-brush-markers-48-pack" target="_blank">Zig markers</a>! The image colored up so beautifully!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Now, doesn't our feathered friend look amazing nestled in that beautiful foliage bed? I've stamped the holly leaves in Olive and colored them with my <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/stack-and-store-daubers-pack-of-30" target="_blank">Stack and Store Daubers</a> and a combination of Ranger Archival Leaf Green and <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/ranger-archival-ink-pad-olive" target="_blank">Olive</a>. The slender leaves have been stamped using <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/ranger-archival-ink-pad-leaf-green" target="_blank">Ranger Archival Leaf Green</a>, and colored in the same. Of course, I've used the Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper for these accents as I wanted to give them some dimension by shaping them with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's a closer peek at that adorable birdie nestled in his foliage nest...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPWrdf5pQnGxxuBXczAZnuHR_4Z5oGevH0BWQInrRXQacEeazIhAJ2q-9V3APDa2401jWQsIGmj-Vp930tm5Mg6wrkj7pnslvxbviyu4LoCmGyxDunyzXaz9WxOws2K31eVxrklhAJuR_343liUxbc7zsbBAfpE2MDYeUVGFyrzAgBLMn6z5025KYeWg/s3394/Fesive-Christmas-Wonderful-Wishes-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2456" data-original-width="3394" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPWrdf5pQnGxxuBXczAZnuHR_4Z5oGevH0BWQInrRXQacEeazIhAJ2q-9V3APDa2401jWQsIGmj-Vp930tm5Mg6wrkj7pnslvxbviyu4LoCmGyxDunyzXaz9WxOws2K31eVxrklhAJuR_343liUxbc7zsbBAfpE2MDYeUVGFyrzAgBLMn6z5025KYeWg/w640-h464/Fesive-Christmas-Wonderful-Wishes-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;">Now, the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/christmas-poinsettia-holly-cling-stamp-set" target="_blank">Christmas Poinsettia & Holly Cling Stamp Set</a> and coordinating die make the perfect flower accents for this new Christmas collection. I've stamped the petals onto a piece of <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/deluxe-flower-shaping-paper-pack-of-50-white" target="_blank">Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper</a> using<a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/ranger-archival-ink-pad-carnation-red" target="_blank"> Ranger Archival Carnation Red</a>. I colored the centers up with <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/ranger-archival-ink-pad-sunflower" target="_blank">Ranger Archival Ink Sunflower.</a> I then colored the petals with the same ink they'd been stamped in. Next came the die cutting. After all petals had been cut, I inked the edges of the petals with the Carnation Red ink just to give them a little extra definition. The coordinating shaping mold made shaping the petals and leaves super quick and easy!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I followed the same steps with the holly leaves from the Christmas Poinsettia Collection. I stamped the largest leaves onto Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper using <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/ranger-archival-ink-pad-english-ivy" target="_blank">Ranger Archival English Ivy</a>. I used my Stack and Store Daubers to color the leaves in with the same color they were stamped in. I proceeded with die cutting and once again inked the edges with the coordinating ink.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I assembled two smaller poinsettias and one larger. The smaller I added into the bottom corner cluster, and used the remaining two flowers to the top corner cluster as shown. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Let's take a closer look...</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8BFuo1HVknz4iI3Bo8-c0Bvmu80XQQVukjSx8JaaCoZAq_1oUP_TmMgTlxUBQnCoHY5vSohQS__mkx8eVzkN-QQNhb1f7xB3tm8vFnTqKcK-UBzMHPokzrVBOwzV9C-D6cur2y3fqVR_hEKXFmikLzLXEMm0WANYBJZVLhTsE7T5yC0nhEcHOI48HEw/s3770/Festive-Christmas-Wonderful-Wishes-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2529" data-original-width="3770" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8BFuo1HVknz4iI3Bo8-c0Bvmu80XQQVukjSx8JaaCoZAq_1oUP_TmMgTlxUBQnCoHY5vSohQS__mkx8eVzkN-QQNhb1f7xB3tm8vFnTqKcK-UBzMHPokzrVBOwzV9C-D6cur2y3fqVR_hEKXFmikLzLXEMm0WANYBJZVLhTsE7T5yC0nhEcHOI48HEw/w640-h430/Festive-Christmas-Wonderful-Wishes-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">The floral clusters came together so quickly and easily. The foliage accents are such a nice size for creating a full foliage background to set the stage for the poinsettias! They are also perfect for framing a sentiment!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I finished up the poinsettia centers with some <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/heart-of-gold-prills" target="_blank">Heart of Gold Prills</a>...and of course added some Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter for that beautiful holiday sparkle.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I do hope you've enjoyed my share today!

Grab a cuppa and let's have a peek at the newest card I've created with the newly released Floral Sentiments Collection from Heartfelt Creations!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">This week I decided to use the last stamp set from the Floral Sentiments Collection that I hadn't had a chance to use yet! The beautiful Special Floral Sentiments Cling Stamp Set!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Let's begin with a look at the project...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvKErfGI9kK4sXXgUC0rRYtHV2pqr_v4NjHCTHcZp2-EBjr6JPxPsBWcpZW-CaqYB-e0q8sWeLHMccaUTqcptfNvlIdN4EMI-t-v6ml98F3nGs0c4Px_9CvFheazJB_-dRyimRU_lKTiMqWtbEPHGu-9lmWWy5edApiXYK0lCPR6U9aEZs4Q64zcyq0g/s2384/Floral-Sentiments-Special-Day-Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2384" data-original-width="1939" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvKErfGI9kK4sXXgUC0rRYtHV2pqr_v4NjHCTHcZp2-EBjr6JPxPsBWcpZW-CaqYB-e0q8sWeLHMccaUTqcptfNvlIdN4EMI-t-v6ml98F3nGs0c4Px_9CvFheazJB_-dRyimRU_lKTiMqWtbEPHGu-9lmWWy5edApiXYK0lCPR6U9aEZs4Q64zcyq0g/w520-h640/Floral-Sentiments-Special-Day-Card.jpg" width="520" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">I wanted to keep this 5"x7" card simple and fuss free, so I began with some simple matting using white card stock and some pretty papers from the Floral Sentiments Paper Collection. I also wanted to keep the design super mailable as there are definitely times we need a card that has only a little dimension and this new release is absolutely perfect for this purpose!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I decided that I needed a pretty die cut to anchor the gorgeous sentiment! It gave me the chance to play with the Slim Lattice Oval Die which I'd been eyeing up in my craft room, but not used yet! Because this is a slimline die cut, I knew that I'd have to trim off the ends as my card measures 5"x7". Using my Dries Clear Adhesive and Fine Metal Glue Tip, I adhered the die cut to the card panel....making sure that I didn't apply glue right to the ends, as they were going to be trimmed!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">As I wanted the sentiment to be the focal point of the card, so I stamped it in black and then die cut the outer edge of the image with the outer portion of the coordinating die. I've then adhered it to the center of the card with dimensional foam tape.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Next, I stamped the image twice onto bristol smooth marker paper and colored both images using Zig markers. I opted to go with a red hue for the flowers to match the reddish paper I'd used as a matting background from the Floral Sentiments Paper Collection. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Here's a close up of the colored florals...</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi305P8cwgS1h7Ptzkvgz6HLu43tVkWs1DfcaENIgZlIq4S3ONE_DoOiQy5SXLrYxrcTR2KXPA0r2-79Oz6nd9seLMwHKQfZtGvjkA9X-xdPh8RGTIB0m8BPqvYqq987wstaPpekjams06Lx9rq421uMV9PEvu3rKF2O9cNBxGl0XzCZDCdebU1nZgz6A/s4032/Floral-Sentiments-Special-Day-Card-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2792" data-original-width="4032" height="444" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi305P8cwgS1h7Ptzkvgz6HLu43tVkWs1DfcaENIgZlIq4S3ONE_DoOiQy5SXLrYxrcTR2KXPA0r2-79Oz6nd9seLMwHKQfZtGvjkA9X-xdPh8RGTIB0m8BPqvYqq987wstaPpekjams06Lx9rq421uMV9PEvu3rKF2O9cNBxGl0XzCZDCdebU1nZgz6A/w640-h444/Floral-Sentiments-Special-Day-Card-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">These images are so very quick and easy to color...the whole collection is just perfect for creating a quick card!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I die cut each of the images, this time using the inner and outer portion of the coordinating die...this way I had two frames. One frame I used to cut the floral pieces into sections and shaped them with my Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. This will give the card a subtle hint of dimension when the flowers are layered.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">The other colored frame I left as is. I then die cut two more of the same without the stamped image and layered them onto the back of the colored frame. When placed over top of the sentiment, this will give it a nice framed/inset appearance.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuh1-J22xdO4g9pP4z52WqOU8P8lx2QVCsXpZ3X1WpeEhX2Aqf4ovRmgqr7dj5QS7SrFQTBAlMs8NdYz1rmutAGOcspIYYFi1MvvDuwXDEYsg53OxOsTwu6MHQoCIB0aIrScqZXlcRIyzRQQsYU0_Vv3T77MX0LtJOpLFmaGhoUPYoDim7EU5k6v_-Kw/s2384/Floral-Sentiments-Special-Day-Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2384" data-original-width="1939" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuh1-J22xdO4g9pP4z52WqOU8P8lx2QVCsXpZ3X1WpeEhX2Aqf4ovRmgqr7dj5QS7SrFQTBAlMs8NdYz1rmutAGOcspIYYFi1MvvDuwXDEYsg53OxOsTwu6MHQoCIB0aIrScqZXlcRIyzRQQsYU0_Vv3T77MX0LtJOpLFmaGhoUPYoDim7EU5k6v_-Kw/w520-h640/Floral-Sentiments-Special-Day-Card.jpg" width="520" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">After adhering the colored frame overtop the sentiment, I adhered the shaped florals and added them into the frame giving it a slight dimensional appearance.

I'm hoping to still meet with you here to inspire you from time to time!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Today is another release day with Heartfelt Creations! Have you seen the beautiful Floral Sentiments Collection? It's a new release that is sure to be used time and time again...with it's beautiful florals and stunning sentiments!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Let's take a peek at my creations featuring this newest collection...</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGTh665hWocBoA6yfQtS9dMCCJRPL_pnfqvDM0ejrzSTp2FcQMNOSNZfZdggxwTMa9M8fRzlHpQPrIqUiHC1NjXod84t0JipjudIlYoO-aqSkGaaFz5DwSxbEN-wbI2rueINOGfOce2fSU386I3MnwmWH2hARuP_axqSEPjtkuXn_rBVUBrNBk97pyXA/s2383/Floral-Sentiments-Grateful-For-You-Card-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2383" data-original-width="1735" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGTh665hWocBoA6yfQtS9dMCCJRPL_pnfqvDM0ejrzSTp2FcQMNOSNZfZdggxwTMa9M8fRzlHpQPrIqUiHC1NjXod84t0JipjudIlYoO-aqSkGaaFz5DwSxbEN-wbI2rueINOGfOce2fSU386I3MnwmWH2hARuP_axqSEPjtkuXn_rBVUBrNBk97pyXA/w466-h640/Floral-Sentiments-Grateful-For-You-Card-1.jpg" width="466" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">The Floral Sentiments Collection allows you to create full sentiment floral pieces, or stunning floral frames depending on how you choose to use your die cuts! I love that Heartfelt always gives us several ways to use their products!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">For this creation I've opted to stamp the Friend Floral Cling Stamp Set and Grateful Floral Cling Stamp Set onto bristol smooth marker paper using Jet Black Ranger Archival Ink. I've then colored the illustrations with my <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/zig-clean-color-real-brush-markers-48-pack">Zig Markers</a>. I've die cut the sentiments so that I'm left with just the floral frames for both of these stamp sets. I wanted to show you how to create beautiful floral clusters using the flower images from these two stamps by snipping the sections apart! Snipping apart your die cuts is a great way to use your stamped and die cut images in a different and creative way!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">As you look at your stamped images, you will find that there are natural breaks within the illustration where it is easy to snip apart the die cut into sections. You can create larger and smaller floral clusters depending on what you're wanting to design. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Here's a closer peek at the flower sections I've clustered together for this design...</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTmG2ul4ixUlDbLd68eWwnZAO6oxk6Wb5lQRK9QJXDQ6vMPqlH8JvbknwHe_0ab7dzjMskUqZP2TbGabWxB6XTILhaPb7DTDIAoCG4PvoGUGc8nm_toMG6ds_ITF4Z6qo5hIfn5r11LXY3IL3f_MctK7NnfX4WumP9c1Wlo91XYGCP6bs6dncG3c6j5Q/s4032/Floral-Sentiments-Grateful-for-You-Card-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTmG2ul4ixUlDbLd68eWwnZAO6oxk6Wb5lQRK9QJXDQ6vMPqlH8JvbknwHe_0ab7dzjMskUqZP2TbGabWxB6XTILhaPb7DTDIAoCG4PvoGUGc8nm_toMG6ds_ITF4Z6qo5hIfn5r11LXY3IL3f_MctK7NnfX4WumP9c1Wlo91XYGCP6bs6dncG3c6j5Q/w640-h480/Floral-Sentiments-Grateful-for-You-Card-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">To give the cluster a hint of dimension, I've gone ahead and adhered the first group of flowers to the card front, added the gold frame overtop, and then using some dimensional foam tape have applied the last layer of flowers. This gives your floral cluster a beautiful effect...the flowers look like they are growing together and appear multi dimensional! This tiny bit of dimension still even allows you to make this a mailable card...perfect for those friends and loved ones who live further away!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">For the sentiment, you'll notice that it appears alone, and not as illustrated on the stamp! This is a super easy technique to achieve and again allows you to use the sentiment portion of the stamp in a new and exciting way! Using your stamp tool/acrylic block, simply ink the sentiment only using a Zig marker. I've used the MISTI to achieve this, and have actually had to ink the sentiment with the marker twice to achieve a nice dark appearance. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEnpq1YJwH0nqPfgYF5sx_0FqOx-zW53ShKbcurBrwsQ4hk2OX96EGy_RldSNnRrWIulIQdskm1jg6TOOQI4X0hUS7KXkLMBbI8RC59d1sej0oJZnZG4b9fxFwKn7jznsHnrnGd-_pwyblF6EzMiwstaPNB5pUb1EnnOkIs6F1ERIXkdkbR84_-vI4kg/s1880/Floral-Sentiments-Grateful-for-You-Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1880" data-original-width="1653" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEnpq1YJwH0nqPfgYF5sx_0FqOx-zW53ShKbcurBrwsQ4hk2OX96EGy_RldSNnRrWIulIQdskm1jg6TOOQI4X0hUS7KXkLMBbI8RC59d1sej0oJZnZG4b9fxFwKn7jznsHnrnGd-_pwyblF6EzMiwstaPNB5pUb1EnnOkIs6F1ERIXkdkbR84_-vI4kg/w562-h640/Floral-Sentiments-Grateful-for-You-Card.jpg" width="562" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I chose the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/fancy-classic-rectangle-frame-die">Fancy Classic Rectangle Frame Die</a> to create the embellishments on the card base! It's such a beautiful die that yields such pretty results! I love the die cut frame that I did from the bold floral paper within the Floral Sentiments paper collection. It gives the card a nice pop of color and interest!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">The gold layer within the matting and the inner gold frame die cut from the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/luxe-gold-cardstock">Luxe Gold Cardstock</a> gives this design such an elegant appearance.

It is one of my favorite glitters...it lends such a beautiful shimmer and shine while not being "over the top"!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I do hope you've been inspired today!

The Fluted Classics Collection is another wonderful layering shape set with ticking designs reminiscent of the blanket stitch on its edges! Nest the outer and inner rims with the insert to cut a tailored frame or for a beautiful background edge to any layering design. Keep it simple and you can cut a solid shape with just an outer rim. The Fluted Classics come in circle, square, oval, and rectangle shapes. We’ve also added a slimline version for those card makers who want to create an elegant and trendy silhouette.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #283c46;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><div style="color: #283c46; text-align: center;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Today's projects were created with dies provided by Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace.</b></span></em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #283c46;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><div style="color: #283c46; text-align: center;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My Projects for Today</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #283c46;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px;"><div style="color: #283c46; text-align: center;">Today I'm sharing two projects I created with the <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/fluted-classics-ovals-etched-dies-from-the-fluted-classics-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">Fluted Classic Ovals S5-474</a>!

If you look closely, you'll see that I've slightly offset them because they are the same size as the piece in front of them...so only the gold peeks through on one side of the decorative ovals. I've gone ahead and alternated the sides that I've added the solid gold ovals so that it visually gives you some extra interest, but isn't super busy or overwhelming!</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white;

I love this collection of dies, and couldn't wait to try it out on an A2 sized holiday card. I so appreciate that the dies from Amazing Paper Grace are designed to work with a multitude of card sizes!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I chose to use some fun decorative papers to do a more non traditional colored holiday card!

I opted to die cut some snowflakes from the <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/silent-night-make-a-scene-etched-dies-from-the-holiday-medley-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">Silent Night Make a Scene</a> Die Collection to tie in the with the snowflake theme on the bottom.

First I die cut a shaped card base using the notecard base...I chose to use it to create a slimline card shape rather than a smaller note card. I simply omitted the bar you'd put in for the fold, popped one of the long cutting edges off a piece of folded cardstock large enough to fit the card onto, and die cut it using my die cutting machine. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibRDHFwB80LD2OphxBTbzVsz2eGc3NSdUzpIyIs5FMGBYEiADpOXnaH59f22DEc7FkLYenIc6zlLAjhZLbYwnlkH4EqGnhvcS9iU8JuQ_f7SypUran3o9gCNc_X_5cfpj8BBKPWQJJbBUW/s767/1121Week2-traceyfehr05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="510" data-original-width="767" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibRDHFwB80LD2OphxBTbzVsz2eGc3NSdUzpIyIs5FMGBYEiADpOXnaH59f22DEc7FkLYenIc6zlLAjhZLbYwnlkH4EqGnhvcS9iU8JuQ_f7SypUran3o9gCNc_X_5cfpj8BBKPWQJJbBUW/w640-h426/1121Week2-traceyfehr05.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Next I die cut the scrolling background...I took a slimline sized piece of white card stock, die cut one end with the scrollwork die, then realigned it to die cut the other end so that I was left with one long scrolling die cut with a diamond shape in the middle. This is the layer that I'll be adding next on top of my decorative paper. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I then grabbed some gold card stock and die cut the decorative border from the Flourished Sonata Notecard.

The Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree includes a set of graduated trees for a full dimensional design, along with details of presents, bows, and ornaments to complete this set. Change up the colors for an elegant or casual look. Best of all, it folds for easy mailing. Use just the elements to work with a flat card format from A2 to A7. Detailed die cuts make it easy to personalize for the holidays.

I wanted this card to be festive, so I went with some brighter greens, a pretty reddish burghandy, a hint of brown, and of course some winter whites! </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivPSnxMKox1NbmastyhHVIn3x9oU-P2_cELc7flkuHs03yWCPEmudlg5TbwWSJAXh_YXImbKFyiNl1HAfIWsfGU9wEc_TStSBkLr9FlxSZovLr-q8aLHpp4w032KranUnw4iKCw_fIVp8e/s767/1021Week4-traceyfehr06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="508" data-original-width="767" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivPSnxMKox1NbmastyhHVIn3x9oU-P2_cELc7flkuHs03yWCPEmudlg5TbwWSJAXh_YXImbKFyiNl1HAfIWsfGU9wEc_TStSBkLr9FlxSZovLr-q8aLHpp4w032KranUnw4iKCw_fIVp8e/w640-h424/1021Week4-traceyfehr06.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">I opted to die cut an rounded shape in the center of the card using the decorative circle die from the Sweet Serenade Notecard Collection! It is from the <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/scalloped-symphony-notecard-etched-dies-from-sweet-serenade-notecards-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">Scalloped Symphony Notecard</a>! I thought it was a pretty shape that added more interest than just a circular shape. I then used the same dark green paper that I used as the background mat to cut a frame using the regular circle and the fancy version to create a frame which I adhered around the front! It really draws the eye into the scene this way! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKxG1ZXQQj0v-kNl5K7RstcU2o0xw7PU359lrJK01ydvJ-jSpX7imLzN_TVgbpVIVSifHtG2Gwxuwmg_XM2XWzgl3wjbylPyFFgBHo6Cfsm_ZZcT-HQEeRf23iO9ppjW7eDAPib-kMHxYO/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKxG1ZXQQj0v-kNl5K7RstcU2o0xw7PU359lrJK01ydvJ-jSpX7imLzN_TVgbpVIVSifHtG2Gwxuwmg_XM2XWzgl3wjbylPyFFgBHo6Cfsm_ZZcT-HQEeRf23iO9ppjW7eDAPib-kMHxYO/w640-h640/image.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><i>*the dies for this creation have been graciously supplied by Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace*</i><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9XhC2TRmgUfQf5VDHCQTwmZ81IlEiSzMtEppg_pUM16Wnacj_qvT3l0LzHql_RtjodEqqg8n6QEsfDjBLFKqNopBTiULpGRuDrffDeXn9bcyYP3OSKVQRX3lpUeNAdNTvjaZSIpZ58OPx/s767/1021Week4-traceyfehr04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="468" data-original-width="767" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9XhC2TRmgUfQf5VDHCQTwmZ81IlEiSzMtEppg_pUM16Wnacj_qvT3l0LzHql_RtjodEqqg8n6QEsfDjBLFKqNopBTiULpGRuDrffDeXn9bcyYP3OSKVQRX3lpUeNAdNTvjaZSIpZ58OPx/w640-h390/1021Week4-traceyfehr04.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">So, to give this creation a little bit of dimension, I've matted the dark green background paper to the card front, but have used some foam tape to add the bright green layer. This way my little village appeared further back as if you were gazing into the scene!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I got busy cutting my village pieces. I chose to stick with the same paper collection and use some pretty polka dotted paper in browns, greens, and reds. Do you ever die cut your focal die cuts from patterned paper, or do you opt to stick to solid card stock colors? I love the way this little polka dotted village turned out...I think it's adorable!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Now, you'll notice that I did cut the sleigh die cut as I knew I wouldn't have room for the full team of reindeer...but I didn't want to leave Santa off the card! Cutting your die cuts is a great way to get different uses out of them...it's like customizing them to your card creation! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX_yo0YqeyDAtzY8RXkJKs2oQ4nCkIEOARKm47hjnzAgm8N4bi-grszXG1AvziXpoSr9iKT-OnWEgeWCiTsCsXs1MkbVHuVNpi4sPqu0TB5be29iZvC9tvEZL4UMtyAGnY5I0wu5hI7g7-/s767/1021Week4-traceyfehr02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="511" data-original-width="767" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX_yo0YqeyDAtzY8RXkJKs2oQ4nCkIEOARKm47hjnzAgm8N4bi-grszXG1AvziXpoSr9iKT-OnWEgeWCiTsCsXs1MkbVHuVNpi4sPqu0TB5be29iZvC9tvEZL4UMtyAGnY5I0wu5hI7g7-/w640-h426/1021Week4-traceyfehr02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">I love how the scene actually almost turned out like a little snow globe scene! I thought the holly and berry die cuts would be the finishing touch and balance out the design! And, let's talk about that great sentiment which I pulled from the <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/mosaic-bracket-card-builder-etched-dies-from-the-holiday-medley-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">Mosaic Bracket Card Builder</a>! I opted to die cut it twice...once in a red color and again in white...I've layered the two pieces of each together and have them applied them to the front of the card! Doesn't the sentiment just finish out the card beautifully!?!</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4vMp7HjyxWaoV5yKX2wNNkiV5VsJzQdOKdYCMiSN7_DaneMEWOUFutT_Y9R2del0h0pjr74uegUsSigXaZbs0ooMDjXmIENq468kVzifslUyxkRpnXhxu32FqfmWr7v5npNVJTdtcmZ4I/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4vMp7HjyxWaoV5yKX2wNNkiV5VsJzQdOKdYCMiSN7_DaneMEWOUFutT_Y9R2del0h0pjr74uegUsSigXaZbs0ooMDjXmIENq468kVzifslUyxkRpnXhxu32FqfmWr7v5npNVJTdtcmZ4I/w640-h640/image.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />For the finishing touch, I used some Stickles to give the scene the look of falling snow!

I thought the beautiful scrollwork worked perfectly for winter themed projects! And I cannot tell how easy it is to create a notecard using this set! I love the scoring bar that you put in place before running the notecard die through your die cutting machine! It gives you a beautiful and professional score mark that takes all the stress out of trying to get the card scored perfectly if you were trying to do it by hand after die cutting the notecard shape! I also love that I have the option of using this larger sized notecard is for a slimline card! Talk about great options!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #283c46; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #283c46; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">And let's talk about card matting for just a moment...there's no measuring as all of the beautiful shapes in this collection have been sized to nest and give you flawless results each and every time!

I found it was great to play around with the various shapes and one of the first things I did when I received it was to sit down and just die cut all of the different ways that you could use these dies...you can die cut into your notecard to that you have a decorative background, you can die cut as several different shaped embellishments, etc. I encourage you to do the same to see how many different looks you can create! </span></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white;

To debut this collection, I shared in a livestream this morning how to create this pretty little A2 sized card! I wanted to show you how perfectly this wreath fits onto this smaller sized card, and would be perfect for sending your holiday wishes via snail mail! The beauty of this collection is that it includes stamps and dies for all of the different seasons....you can create a wreath for spring, summer, autumn and winter! It's perfect for any occasion....and is so very versatile!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ4hccLJmsxUxSkNeeuAZNYYh6DJDUqjNzwRPYWhruFp-K3wmFYbv_N_t5N989Tw_j2SEnqyhB0R9S-JDHDENlVkjUIl6bvZoYYAByo1spwsTDfCSmrGOZScguzskLmo3zYfmSsnzMeHRd/s2048/Seasonal+Wreath+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1431" data-original-width="2048" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ4hccLJmsxUxSkNeeuAZNYYh6DJDUqjNzwRPYWhruFp-K3wmFYbv_N_t5N989Tw_j2SEnqyhB0R9S-JDHDENlVkjUIl6bvZoYYAByo1spwsTDfCSmrGOZScguzskLmo3zYfmSsnzMeHRd/w640-h448/Seasonal+Wreath+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">The first thing that struck me about this collection when I started working with it was how much FUN it was to build this little wreath! You get to design and customize a wreath exactly how you would like to! You can make it busy, you can add less embellishments...you can mix elements from the different seasons, etc. I loved stamping up, coloring, die cutting and then playing around to create the exact style of wreath I was wanting for this particular creation! I can just see this style of wreath hanging on the front door during the holiday, can't you?!?!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJRNUin0cFWi1Tw48zyCx5BcNO-5CF7WwTzqAe5LgAPTaXlX-bomvahcIF9WVahJZq8EAYVg557SGe5zFLsM1psGfFpFklToghbgGIqmUuIlSJ1X3UDZayG437cRatqvOchTorsi2NT3sq/s2048/Seasonal+Wreath+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1356" data-original-width="2048" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJRNUin0cFWi1Tw48zyCx5BcNO-5CF7WwTzqAe5LgAPTaXlX-bomvahcIF9WVahJZq8EAYVg557SGe5zFLsM1psGfFpFklToghbgGIqmUuIlSJ1X3UDZayG437cRatqvOchTorsi2NT3sq/w640-h424/Seasonal+Wreath+4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Now, if you know me, you know that I love the plaids when it comes to the holiday season...and I just had to use that pretty green plaid paper in the Seasonal Wreath Paper Collection. I thought cutting apart the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/new-products/simply-elegant-centerpiece-die" target="_blank">Simply Elegant Centerpiece Die</a> would be the perfect way to frame out the rectangle shaped die cuts I created using the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/eyelet-rectangle-basics-die" target="_blank">Eyelet Rectangle & Basics Die</a>! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I loved playing with all of the different foliage and elements in the Winter Wreath Accents Cling Stamp Set! It was so much fun to mix and match and see what I wanted where! Aren't those little ornaments just darling peeking out of the greenery?!?!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Bzxu61EDAcIzdnAY5pvhaFx9WShPsjD96tAr4jDMJWPe_MBG6VlMhYidXynFbDYkvQE3rwEYV5xQrcYFGdSC30bFhyphenhyphenOjiRrktPoaxENlI9K4nAiGFdYHYbLanRefGDM2hiCv2horQ-Un/s2048/Seasonal+Wreath+Blog+Photo+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1356" data-original-width="2048" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Bzxu61EDAcIzdnAY5pvhaFx9WShPsjD96tAr4jDMJWPe_MBG6VlMhYidXynFbDYkvQE3rwEYV5xQrcYFGdSC30bFhyphenhyphenOjiRrktPoaxENlI9K4nAiGFdYHYbLanRefGDM2hiCv2horQ-Un/w640-h424/Seasonal+Wreath+Blog+Photo+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">I do hope you've enjoyed today's creation!

It's so great to see you!</div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">I've been busy doing some Christmas card creating with one of the releases from the Holiday Medley Collection by Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace! I decided to go "country" for this make...and I really do love how it turned out! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTrXivoF8oSSSHtHN9HwPcS6gLIXBgcNAoYWaRkFjnFMFlpSwGRlWbciFx_6C_mIqc3-d5tAky4bBZjXQi6ANGoprqteMGlWaSlS7TDqbGJ0kHvdrltpDSRHzHWyFZlJbqQhPb-nk0scT0/s1200/1021Week2-traceyfehr02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTrXivoF8oSSSHtHN9HwPcS6gLIXBgcNAoYWaRkFjnFMFlpSwGRlWbciFx_6C_mIqc3-d5tAky4bBZjXQi6ANGoprqteMGlWaSlS7TDqbGJ0kHvdrltpDSRHzHWyFZlJbqQhPb-nk0scT0/w640-h640/1021Week2-traceyfehr02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">Do you ever see a die for the first time and have an idea pop into your head that you just have to try? That was me with the <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/merry-filigree-card-builder-etched-dies-from-the-holiday-medley-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">Merry Filigree Card Builder</a>! You see that tiny little holly and berry die? Well, I got ambitious and decided to make a wreath using it and the small florals from the current October Die of the Month - <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/amazing-paper-grace-die-of-the-month-membership/" target="_blank">the Flourished Fleurit</a>! I thought it would be the perfect way to outline and draw attention to that gorgeous die cut sentiment!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdS97Swadwk7yKXzAdz20oyBq0w8RAgoUvHP4P0IvDLoGUaMhD1gAljXLtNPCZBgUKt5zu56QvPsDLV8uX-LcSTFpLwuKkO7RyO_E6B7N7K6GSwZdwF1RceW43f8hfmAZ_irXm_mCby4K5/s900/S5-464-Holiday-Medley-Becca-Feeken-Merry-Filigree-Card-Builder-Combo__62765.1623360501.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdS97Swadwk7yKXzAdz20oyBq0w8RAgoUvHP4P0IvDLoGUaMhD1gAljXLtNPCZBgUKt5zu56QvPsDLV8uX-LcSTFpLwuKkO7RyO_E6B7N7K6GSwZdwF1RceW43f8hfmAZ_irXm_mCby4K5/w640-h640/S5-464-Holiday-Medley-Becca-Feeken-Merry-Filigree-Card-Builder-Combo__62765.1623360501.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">To make it super quick and easy, I opted to die cut the solid base of the holly from white card stock...this way I could ink the berries in Ranger Archival Ink - Vermillion, and the leaves in Ranger Archival Ink - Leaf Green. I then die cut the overlay of the holly/berries from white card stock and and adhered it over top the solid colored version. Lastly, I die cut a gold solid version and applied it slightly skewed off the back of the holly die cut so that each of these little pieces would shimmer gold from the behind. The petite flowers and leaves were die cut from solid color card stock which added a touch of different colors and textures to the wreath! A tiny pearl center was all these little flowers needed to finish them off!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqnbjdfrA5wcfT6BdBz3zThrKhiLjbqh9FaJWtIGLk8px5n2V1Yn9b3flDhNSBYl9thlLU3kpUuDq3UOGqPy518POmnJl4wHyLt0a3bYWmpaWCHT5ydyllml-c-KLEMHR8h3b7o7p4wSLX/s1200/1021Week2-traceyfehr04.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqnbjdfrA5wcfT6BdBz3zThrKhiLjbqh9FaJWtIGLk8px5n2V1Yn9b3flDhNSBYl9thlLU3kpUuDq3UOGqPy518POmnJl4wHyLt0a3bYWmpaWCHT5ydyllml-c-KLEMHR8h3b7o7p4wSLX/w640-h640/1021Week2-traceyfehr04.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">I decided that I was going to create a 5"x7" card this go round...but you can easily see how this idea could have worked on a slimline or A2 sized card as well! I chose a rustic country themed paper that I had in my stash and decided that the beautiful framing pieces would look so elegant die cut and layered in gold and white card stock. So that's what I did...a country creation can be ramped up a notch too can't it? I did however have to stick to the traditional twine bow as the finishing touch to keep it a little more rustic! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_CdJSQnrIyA4JbLcldvVm5LDW7lMn278UHSS8Y1IxBh6uCRwIUUJwA71q2psOJhDm-kw8qivcFrTfJoUBFULdhfwFZKI54Kz1YatOffrKshxnpp-oLpVL7MkERJ_pLjOodFF5Osw9FFg/s1200/1021Week2-traceyfehr06.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik_CdJSQnrIyA4JbLcldvVm5LDW7lMn278UHSS8Y1IxBh6uCRwIUUJwA71q2psOJhDm-kw8qivcFrTfJoUBFULdhfwFZKI54Kz1YatOffrKshxnpp-oLpVL7MkERJ_pLjOodFF5Osw9FFg/w640-h640/1021Week2-traceyfehr06.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">I just can't believe how fast this card came together!

The coordinating dies make these images so easy to cut out!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWbp96RVW-n57sYfqFJLAU89F9Jbjw9U42OtvjoOGM-JI32xHqsKCZ0leC9nVi0x9KyEVNORk0_YRzeZB6SipzjHK33qYstu3nQliPdOs2wooqKX_BsFAW0btghj-OWmgq-yJH_UPI0ERF/s2048/Tea+Time+Collection+Cupcake+Picks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1360" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWbp96RVW-n57sYfqFJLAU89F9Jbjw9U42OtvjoOGM-JI32xHqsKCZ0leC9nVi0x9KyEVNORk0_YRzeZB6SipzjHK33qYstu3nQliPdOs2wooqKX_BsFAW0btghj-OWmgq-yJH_UPI0ERF/w640-h426/Tea+Time+Collection+Cupcake+Picks.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">I created the small rosettes from patterned paper in the Tea Time Paper Collection...they were created from a strip of paper measuring 1 1/2" x 12" and scored every 1/2". They've then been fan folded, the last fold cut off so the mountain and valley pattern can continue and then adhered end to end. You then push down in the center of the rosette so it comes together and adhere it together with a circular piece of card stock on the front and back of the rosette. I've gone ahead and used hot glue to add my toothpic to the back of the the rosette at this point. Then comes the fun part of decorating your cupcake topper! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV4tU3uQAHRClLeGip4IENcXAQoVPNvomWqq7PdoLn8lyUijkFJAkWKR6jTA3s327wGFGS1ze3AZ6rbkapoBXuapEJ-o8Cwq_HO8qsH_zP5-XZuUGsTN0729ZK_SWyKXLKvO85kzHdfaM2/s2048/Tea+Time+Collection+Cupcake+Picks+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1583" data-original-width="2048" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV4tU3uQAHRClLeGip4IENcXAQoVPNvomWqq7PdoLn8lyUijkFJAkWKR6jTA3s327wGFGS1ze3AZ6rbkapoBXuapEJ-o8Cwq_HO8qsH_zP5-XZuUGsTN0729ZK_SWyKXLKvO85kzHdfaM2/w640-h494/Tea+Time+Collection+Cupcake+Picks+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">I've used a doily like die cut from the Butterfly Dreams Collection from Heartfelt Creations called the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/product-collections/butterfly-dreams/butterfly-kisses-decorative-die" target="_blank">Butterfly Kisses Decorative Die</a>! I've die cut one from Luxe Gold Card Stock, and one from plain white card stock...offset them slightly to one another so they both show and then adhered them off to one side of the rosette. This was a great way to add a feminine feel to the project as well as hide the toothpic on the backside. I then started layering my little scene on the front of the rosette. I've gone ahead and added some foam tape to the tea cups so they stand off the front of the tea pots. This gives your rosette beautiful dimension. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Then came the adorable little flowers! I've used the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/product-collections/butterfly-dreams/butterfly-kisses-decorative-die" target="_blank">Tweet Cherry Blossoms Cling Stamp Set</a>, the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/product-collections/cherry-blossom-retreat/tweet-cherry-blossoms-die" target="_blank">coordinating dies</a>, and <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/product-collections/cherry-blossom-retreat/3d-cherry-blossom-shaping-mold" target="_blank">3D shaping mold</a>...which made creating these little beauties quick and easy! A hint of glitter and some prills for the centers finished off these little blossoms!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I do hope you've enjoyed today's share! I'd love to know what you think! I know I would certainly love being invited to a tea party that was showcasing such fun and beautiful cupcake embellishments!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Until next time...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHlYEYACJKxs609czWxbX4Nm0FWd4DnjIqvTEWZc_HbvcbsvzXIwvdzLNdlYIhJJORJ4ALb8LouZ1sbj8lbJnirvRnltvfyudgOxtUFn7q1VAJVmpZzcZWAj3JjYw8qdVV_WvX47OXcpEV/s943/Post+End+Image_Page_1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="431" data-original-width="943" height="91" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHlYEYACJKxs609czWxbX4Nm0FWd4DnjIqvTEWZc_HbvcbsvzXIwvdzLNdlYIhJJORJ4ALb8LouZ1sbj8lbJnirvRnltvfyudgOxtUFn7q1VAJVmpZzcZWAj3JjYw8qdVV_WvX47OXcpEV/w200-h91/Post+End+Image_Page_1.png" width="200" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p> <p></p>Today's Beautiful Moments - Tracey Fehrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17117158455934648897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982992680928128782.post-6340317832589897792021-10-04T09:00:00.243-05:002021-10-04T10:21:33.823-05:00Introducing the Amazing Paper Grace October 2021 Die of the Month - The Flourished Fleurit...<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #283c46; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><br /><strong style="background-color: #faf785; box-sizing: border-box;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19.8px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxnIXoH4OpsYwPhu-P06P58hHgLsbpEc4zmWbUBmNg9qOjVTFw8J1sVl-yFKfxUTd5mTSg_-l-Pn8P62zeehrguIDIRkuJESY38LUZrqwTZpVFD2dr3BzysEuSqo1pY1RTJGPjghfzQq8j/s1200/Card+Set+Upright+1200x1200.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxnIXoH4OpsYwPhu-P06P58hHgLsbpEc4zmWbUBmNg9qOjVTFw8J1sVl-yFKfxUTd5mTSg_-l-Pn8P62zeehrguIDIRkuJESY38LUZrqwTZpVFD2dr3BzysEuSqo1pY1RTJGPjghfzQq8j/w640-h640/Card+Set+Upright+1200x1200.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol"; font-size: 19.8px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Elegance is our go-to style at Amazing Paper Grace. We are always on the hunt for those elegant elements that you can add to a card that gives it just the right feel and appeal. This month we're head over heels for a year around a cascade of tendrils that can be snipped here and there to be used for top and bottom card decoration. Say welcome to the Amazing Paper Grace October 2021 Die of the Month - Flourished Fleurit.</span></div></strong></div><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #283c46; margin: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The inspiration for Flourished Fleurit comes from looking through our stashes for just the right Rectangle or just the right Square. Guess what - Flourished Fleurit can be both. A snip here or a snip there puts give is just the right proportion to be a rectangle or a square. We cleverly added in sprigs of flowers so that you can cover your transitions. Hunting for elegant corners for a slimline - look no further. A slip or two has you covered.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"> 1.

It's been super quiet in the house with everyone gone!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">It's also been a new release week with Heartfelt Creations! Wednesday marked the unveiling of the NEW <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/product-collections/rustic-sunflower">Rustic Sunflower Collection</a>, and today I did a new release live on the Heartfelt Creations FB Page featuring this newest flower!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Now, if you know me, you know that I love love love sunflowers! When I applied for the HC design team, it was actually the Classic Sunflower Collection that I was sent to work with!

I love how they turned out! For the centers I wanted something rustic looking so I've used the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/redland-elements-1-oz">Redland Elements</a>! I've used one of the accent flowers from the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/wild-aster-spray-cling-stamp-set">Wild Aster Spray Cling Stamp Set</a> to give my clusters a bit of a light and airy feeling! I love how these floral clusters turned out!

It's been awhile since we've met here in blogland hasn't it! I've missed connecting here on the blog, so I thought it might be fun to try to be more consistent here and share some crafty creations with you!</p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;">I've been spending some time in the craft room thinking about Christmas! Are you someone who likes to have your holiday cards completed before December...or are you a bit of a procrastinator like me? </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Well, the NEW <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/product-collections/festive-poinsettia">Festive Poinsettia Collection</a> from Heartfelt Creations has finally arrived...and I just couldn't resist making some vellum poinsettias with it!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVKZrq-qDZGEF7IMx83uDMficE6o2TXAHfhFTKHSWd6cIvkT_rJGANn3rrooIUEtZ-luLa0tsIa-1dFQzqa5gLRnaa-R7Y05Q4DwtIB-9Tc8d7dzWcDtZQaoAWt-bHzPoMf0OX7HQdFkrd/s1280/Festive+Poinsettia+1+Final.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1265" data-original-width="1280" height="632" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVKZrq-qDZGEF7IMx83uDMficE6o2TXAHfhFTKHSWd6cIvkT_rJGANn3rrooIUEtZ-luLa0tsIa-1dFQzqa5gLRnaa-R7Y05Q4DwtIB-9Tc8d7dzWcDtZQaoAWt-bHzPoMf0OX7HQdFkrd/w640-h632/Festive+Poinsettia+1+Final.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;">The sizing on this newest poinsettia is absolutely amazing and will work beautifully for any size card you're wanting to create as there are a great selection of sizes for you to create with! I wanted to keep things quick and EZ, so I've used a piece of the decorative paper from the paper collection to create a background mat and then have used the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/craft-dies/decorative/courtyard-elegance-die">Courtyard Elegance Die</a> to add some interest and texture to the card!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilsCU4HcEwSaIUiurLietHoM7ram6bneq9-gUtSA_AX1TkIXLjVoURvr9bZ9lZLwtLnDeUYkwYsup8t3G17637O9J6Wb0Qe6kCNYHyYeqsY6pPkAWlnb9N9Njf17fya_NfNkcf2mny4YqR/s2048/savingPNG.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilsCU4HcEwSaIUiurLietHoM7ram6bneq9-gUtSA_AX1TkIXLjVoURvr9bZ9lZLwtLnDeUYkwYsup8t3G17637O9J6Wb0Qe6kCNYHyYeqsY6pPkAWlnb9N9Njf17fya_NfNkcf2mny4YqR/w480-h640/savingPNG.PNG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">The poinsettias have been created using <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/rajni-chawla-s-vellum-flowerite-10-sheets">Rajni Chawla's Flowerite Vellum</a>...a beautiful heavy weight vellum that's perfect for all of your flower shaping needs! I've stamped the images in <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/versacolor-pigment-ink-pad-white">White VersaColor</a> Ink and have sprinkled it with <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/opaque-embossing-powder-white">Stampendous White Embossing Powder </a>and then heat set it with my heat tool! I've colored the flowers from the back using Ranger Archival Ink and have then shaped them using the 3D Festive Poinsettia Shaping Mold!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHjB4MNLda2jSh7xtKOZLiucvaREbRxRzFgnaKNKr0cwwj0a7r8VWtYbQNbUtY9qJ8l4icu4nWEX-jcjthCekTEZ0utSY7BfUbLYBKQopbU-09HlfEiBmrwpHV4saOU5bmIQuwjlv6IJKN/s1280/Festive+Poinsettia+2+Final.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1240" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHjB4MNLda2jSh7xtKOZLiucvaREbRxRzFgnaKNKr0cwwj0a7r8VWtYbQNbUtY9qJ8l4icu4nWEX-jcjthCekTEZ0utSY7BfUbLYBKQopbU-09HlfEiBmrwpHV4saOU5bmIQuwjlv6IJKN/w620-h640/Festive+Poinsettia+2+Final.jpg" width="620" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I've given the flowers an extra hint of glamour by adding some gold colored stamens in several sizes! The gold color stamens will blend in nicely with the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/luxe-gold-cardstock">Luxe Gold Card Stock</a> I've used for the sentiment die cut backing! You'll notice that the larger <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/rose-hip-stamens-large">Rose Hip Stamens</a> work beautifully in all sizes of the poinsettias that were created for this project, while the smaller <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/assorted-pearl-stamens-small">pearl stamens</a> add some interest and texture to the flower centers!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">The finishing touch and the icing on the cake has to be the gorgeous sparkle from the glitter I used! I opted to sparkle the different poinsettia layers with <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/rajni-chawla-s-crystal-clear">Rajni Chawla's Crystal Clear</a>! It's an amazing glitter that adds such a wow factor to your flowers. I've simply used a paint brush to apply the<a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/designer-dries-clear-adhesive-refill-8-oz"> Dries Clear Adhesive</a> to the layers in the poinsettia one by one and have sprinkled the glitter on before moving to the next layer!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I love how this card came together...it's so soft when you see it in person!

Hello There!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so glad we get to spend some time together today...it's been a long while hasn't it!<br />
<br />
Today I'm sharing my daughter's Sweet 16 Album with you...it's only been a year in the making...I like most scrapbookers am behind in my memory keeping!<br />
<br />
I opted to use the 8"x8" Insta Album base from Heartfelt Creations...they have a larger 12"x12" version available as well, but I thought the smaller one would be perfect for this occasion! And, of course I had to use the Sugarspun Collection...how could you not for a Sweet 16! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...here's a peek of the cover...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hauled out this album again to work on as I wanted to showcase how easy this system is to use in one of my live streams for Heartfelt Creations. You can find the replay <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HeartfeltCreations/videos/278072133323946/">here</a>! If you catch the replay, you'll be able to see all of the different pockets and different pages that I've incorporated into the album on the go! This is a fantastic way to get a small album done in a short amount of time and still have it hold a significant number of photos!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...and here's a pic of the inside of the album...and some of the pages that I had completed previously... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I love that you can add tuck spots and pockets throughout this album...and that all of the measurements have been added for you for layering the papers...and of course the magnet placements! It takes all of the complicated thinking out of the creation and just allows you to get to the fun of the decorating process!<br />
<br />
I've chosen to use the Cherry Blossom flowers from the Cherry Blossom Retreat Collection. I think that they are the perfect blossom to compliment the cupcake illustrations!<br />
<br />
I do hope you've enjoyed the project I've shared today and have found yourself inspired to grab those special family photos and get them documented as well!<br />
<br />
Until next time...<br />

Today's Beautiful Moments - Tracey Fehrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17117158455934648897noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982992680928128782.post-83038731565242222662020-01-07T23:00:00.000-06:002020-01-07T23:00:04.027-06:00Introducing the Cottage Garden Collection from Heartfelt Creations...<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello! I'm so glad you're here!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you ready to take a walk with me through a gorgeous cottage garden filled with big, bold and robust hydrangeas? I don't know about you, but I love hydrangea flowers! They are so light, airy and beautiful! You are going to just fall in love with the new Cottage Garden Collection! The colors are so soothing and the illustrations are divine!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that Heartfelt Creations has made this gorgeous blossom so easy to recreate...and I especially love the hydrangea stamped illustrations making it so very easy to create a gorgeous flower! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my share today, I opted to use the mid sized hydrangea blossom to make a brooch!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stopped in at Michael's craft store and picked up some silver jewelry stamping discs and some brooch/pin backs. I roughed up the back of the disc and adhered the pin to the back of it using the strong E6000 adhesive. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I die cut 5 of the mid sized hydrangea flower from a sturdy white card stock, and then 1 from a silver paper. I adhered all of these together to create the base for the brooch...with the silver being on the backside where you will want to adhere the pin disc. Using the E6000 adhesive, I've then adhered the pin disc to the back of the start of the brooch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...here's a pic of how the base came together...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsovdoAoqvrQmuyCQWZ4u9sQ9St6TswiGsQXPqI1_RTo_QXO__vTrOSDxnfDOS7CzU9X4AvZmJY55W6zTWRzSegL_YJzDQzCR3ON6NTig9mM16ub0Bqfdz0R8YHKsskSej5Bpp0jLcy3W9/s1600/Brooch+Back+Final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="871" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsovdoAoqvrQmuyCQWZ4u9sQ9St6TswiGsQXPqI1_RTo_QXO__vTrOSDxnfDOS7CzU9X4AvZmJY55W6zTWRzSegL_YJzDQzCR3ON6NTig9mM16ub0Bqfdz0R8YHKsskSej5Bpp0jLcy3W9/s640/Brooch+Back+Final.jpg" width="434" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I stamped two of the hydrangea illustrations onto a sturdy white card stock with Versamark ink, sprinkled it with silver embossing powder and then heat set it with my heat tool. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper, I then stamped the smallest hydrangea petal images 4 times, again with Versamark ink, and proceeded to heat emboss them with silver embossing powder as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Grabbing my Stack and Store Daubers, I turned to coloring the image and the flower petals. For the flower petals and the portion of floral hydrangea image, I added a light base coat of Ranger Archival Ink - Cactus Flower and then added a hint of Ranger Archival Ink -Pink Peony over top. I used the same color combination to one of the base hydrangeas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I colored up the leaves using a combination of Ranger Archival Ink - Olive and Ranger Archival Ink - Leaf Green on both stamped images. All illustrations and petals are now ready to be die cut with the coordinating die.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a hint of color on just a few of the edges of the hydrangea petals, I opted to add just a touch of Ranger Archival Ink - Deep Purple. Once this was completed, I added them to the 3D Hydrangea Shaping Mold and shaped the flowers easily!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then came time to add the main image to the brooch front. Using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive, I added the colored image to the brooch, and began adding the small blossoms to build my hydrangea with my hot glue gun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...are you ready to see how it turned out...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjovF9XB-E3r2zlfzuLGhUSwvwkex8fRHIqtFsuG-zjRkmsbJcX8HNw0q1sEvEtsOENi3A_TCLY0Iyt1QpSLR-xaNZvp1LTp63TuYw7chPfcjJ12RYzMHbYOWdP_oiuFjHHzLZdTMCWQY3X/s1600/Brooch+Front+Final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="837" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjovF9XB-E3r2zlfzuLGhUSwvwkex8fRHIqtFsuG-zjRkmsbJcX8HNw0q1sEvEtsOENi3A_TCLY0Iyt1QpSLR-xaNZvp1LTp63TuYw7chPfcjJ12RYzMHbYOWdP_oiuFjHHzLZdTMCWQY3X/s640/Brooch+Front+Final.jpg" width="418" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how the silver embossing gives it a metal like look as that of a real brooch. I've added silver prills to the centers of all of the little flowers again mimicking the look of metal on a real brooch. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I added some shimmer to the petals with some Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and some Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter. I brushed some adhesive onto the stem and leaves and then sprinkled them with glitter as well...this dulled the greens I had used to color the foliage, but again gave the brooch the metallic look I was looking for. I then set the project aside to give it time to dry fully before finishing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll notice that I have extra leaves on the brooch and that they don't quite line up with the other stamped image I've used. This is where the second stamping of the illustrations comes in. I snipped of the the flower and wanted to use just the foliage to finish off the brooch. I used a spritz of water and my Deluxe Flower Shaping tool to shaped the leaves ever so slightly. Using the E6000 adhesive, I then lined up the stems of the foliage to go over top the front image, but added just a small amount at the base of the leaf - at the stem - and then pushed them off center slightly to give it a unique look and keep the dimension of the leaves. Next, I added some glitter accents on the leaves to blend in alongside the hydrangea blossom. Again, at this point you will need to set the project aside to dry completely before moving on to the finishing steps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, I wanted to the layers of white paper along the edges of the brooch to be less visible, so I used a small silver ink pad to ink over all of the edges so they would blend in more with the silver embossing. Then to give the brooch an extra shine and some strength, I covered it all with Crystal Clear Lacquer! I am super happy with how it turned out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do hope you've enjoyed what I've shared with you today!</div>

Good Morning, Afternoon, or Evening depending on where you are visiting from!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so glad you've been able to join me today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you seen the new Calla Lily Collection from Heartfelt Creations?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's absolutely breathtaking!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've recently done a Facebook Live where I shared how easily these regal calla lilies come together!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you missed the live, you can catch the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HeartfeltCreations/videos/757482588086495/" target="_blank">replay here</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Calla Lily Collection truly is multipurpose as it's ideal for any occasion...from weddings, to Valentine's day, to birthdays, as well as sympathy condolences....this collection along with these stunning florals have you covered! It's also perfect to mix and match with other florals!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...let's take a peek at how this project turned out...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikMV-OkmXuapneC5iqaWqk8yQ7KRVlul3gsR8jqC005HUqNue1m9cDRdZrqKV3b4mKDBp9Wo0ArJXXHS3L5fOO9fq4vuVhG640ptWxlCnVyBIFLQMYCyxs50uOVetqv_Lc2FPD_2ZeBiTc/s1600/Calla+Lily+Take+FB+Project+-+Final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1262" data-original-width="1165" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikMV-OkmXuapneC5iqaWqk8yQ7KRVlul3gsR8jqC005HUqNue1m9cDRdZrqKV3b4mKDBp9Wo0ArJXXHS3L5fOO9fq4vuVhG640ptWxlCnVyBIFLQMYCyxs50uOVetqv_Lc2FPD_2ZeBiTc/s640/Calla+Lily+Take+FB+Project+-+Final.jpg" width="590" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this latest project, I opted to use one of the delightful swan illustrations along with the smaller bunched calla lily illustrations...and of course those elegant shaped flowers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I think of calla lilies, I usually think bridal...as they were super popular for weddings back in the day when I worked at the florist shop! I wanted to keep that kind of feel for this card, so I opted to use lots of lacy layers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've used the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/craft-dies/rounded-window-frame-die" target="_blank">Rounded Window Frame Die</a> that was released on Black Friday with both white card stock as well as the new Luxe Gold Cardstock! I've also used a favorite from the pocket dies...the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/ornate-pocket-accents-die" target="_blank">Ornate Pocket Accents Die</a>. These fanciful and intricate dies are perfect for creating super elegant backgrounds quickly and easily!<br />
<br />
I do hope you've enjoyed today's share!<br />
<br />
Until next time...<br />

Hello and Welcome!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's so hard to believe that we're in December already, isn't it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you ready for the holiday season? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I wanted to share one last card with you created with the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/product-collections/wilderness-retreat" target="_blank">Wilderness Retreat Collection</a> from Heartfelt Creations!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a small A2 size card, and comes together very quickly and easily once you have all of your images colored! I've chosen to use <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/zig-clean-color-real-brush-markers-36-pack" target="_blank">Zig Markers</a> to watercolor my images, but you could use blendable pencils as well and achieve an equally gorgeous result!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...here's how the card turned out...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3VbZMI8cK4SPLfHHRBurRndVos_928fowvHsYPTX1XxAgTqflP5usnooFch2vG5VN5AQMwKVby2Keqe5mWKDeHGrR5ToD6qxjc0e4FNK6oJx52tv-5uzT8payCIgYWVF9w4QXm7aW6aRm/s1600/Wilderness+Retreat+Duck+Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1079" data-original-width="1280" height="538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3VbZMI8cK4SPLfHHRBurRndVos_928fowvHsYPTX1XxAgTqflP5usnooFch2vG5VN5AQMwKVby2Keqe5mWKDeHGrR5ToD6qxjc0e4FNK6oJx52tv-5uzT8payCIgYWVF9w4QXm7aW6aRm/s640/Wilderness+Retreat+Duck+Card.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I opted to cut a white mat for my card background using the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/eyelet-rectangle-basics-die" target="_blank">Eyelet Rectangle & Basics Die</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've then cut an oval into the mat using the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/eyelet-oval-basics-large-die" target="_blank">Eyelet Oval & Basics Large Die</a>. Next I have created the background sky by using the nesting die the next size down of the ovals from the<a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/eyelet-oval-basics-small-die" target="_blank"> Eyelet Oval & Basics Small Die</a> and a sky like piece of patterned paper from the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/product-collections/wilderness-retreat/wilderness-retreat-paper-collection" target="_blank">Wilderness Retreat Paper Collection</a>. These two collections of dies nest together beautifully, and you'll always have the perfect size oval on hand for all of your paper projects! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've stamped all of my illustrations onto a mixed media paper using <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/ranger-archival-ink-pad-jet-black" target="_blank">Ranger Archival Ink - Jet Black</a>, as I wanted to watercolor them using my Zig Real Brush Markers. If you love to color, you will absolutely love this collection! I've stamped the cottage illustration from the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/product-collections/wilderness-retreat/create-a-scape-backcountry-cling-stamp-set" target="_blank">Create a 'scape Backcountry Cling Stamp Set </a>twice as I knew I wanted to die cut some elements from it to add some more dimension to the card. I stamped the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/product-collections/wilderness-retreat/create-a-scape-trout-lake-cling-stamp-set" target="_blank">Create a 'scape Trout Lake Cling Stamp Set</a> once as I wanted to use some of the trees from the scene to add to the card scene I was building. I also stamped the cattails and the rocky ground from the Trout Lake Cling Stamp Set as well so I could add those elements to the front of the card giving it a scene with more depth. Lastly, I stamped the eagle and the duck illustrations from the <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/product-collections/wilderness-retreat/create-a-scape-nature-cling-stamp-set" target="_blank">Create a 'scape Nature Cling Stamp Set</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've then die cut the the cottage illustration with just the outline die and have then used an oval to cut the rest of the image to release from the paper. From the second stamping of the cottage die, I've die cut the tree to use as an extra added embellishment. Don't throw away any of the rest of the colored illustration...you'll be able to store those to have on hand when you have another card to make!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I've die cut the trees from the Trout Lake image and have trimmed them off the rest of the scene as needed so I could use them in the background. I've then die cut all of the other elements with the coordinating dies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now the scene building fun can begin!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I attached the sky like oval to the center of the card as shown, while positioning the front card mat over top to make sure that it would all line up well. Then I've added the duck scene, making sure not to adhere the ducks all the way down, so they would appear that they are flying off of the page. Moving over to the other side of the scene, I've added in the treeline from the Trout Lake illustration. Once happy with all the placements, I've adhered the white mat over top of the card base using dimensional foam tape. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now begins the scene building on the front of the card!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've adhered the cottage illustration to the card base using dimensional foam tape. I've popped up the single tree I die cut from the second cottage illustration just slightly off to the side of the other one to give the cabin a more treed in feeling. I've adhered the cattails to the bottom of the scene as shown, and have then snipped a portion of the rocky ground to layer beside, slightly overlapping the cattails. Lastly, I've added the soaring eagle to the top corner as shown using dimensional foam tape as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To complete the scene, I chose a preprinted sentiment from the paper collection and adhered it to the top corner opposite the eagle, and using a <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/designer-dries-clear-adhesive" target="_blank">Designer Dries Clear Adhesive</a> I've added some <a href="https://www.heartfeltcreations.us/crystal-ultrafine-transparent-glitter-1-2-oz" target="_blank">Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter</a> to the eagles wings, as well as the cattails and the rocky ground die cuts!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This gorgeous collection is perfect for creating those had to make masculine cards and is sure to wow the men in your life...but don't worry, the ladies will love all of the creations you make with this collection as well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently did a Facebook Live with this collection, showcasing how quickly and easily these scenes come together...and how easy it is to create an A2 sized card that is still dimensional and ideal for sending through snail mail. You can also bundle several of these note cards together to make a wonderful gift for someone who has everything! They'll love having beautiful cards on hand to gift to their friends and loved ones!<br />
<br />

<br />
...here's the card we made together...<br />

<br />
I do hope you've enjoyed today's share!<br />
I hope you've been encouraged to build gorgeous scenic cards all your own!<br />
With the stunning images and coordinating die cuts within the Wilderness Retreat Collection, the scene building possibilities are almost endless! <br />
<br />
Until next time...<br />

It is absolutely breathtaking!<br />

<br />
For my first project I just knew I had to create a card with the Trout Lake scene!<br />
We love to fish and enjoy the beauty of the lake and surroundings, so I set to water coloring the lake and mountain images with my Zig Markers! Since I was water coloring, I did stamp all of the images onto a white mixed media paper so my colors would blend smoothly.<br />
<br />
I wanted to create a smaller A2 sized card which measures 4.25" x 5.5"...I wanted to be able to mail the card but still add a little dimension to it! The Wilderness Retreat Collection is the ideal assembling of cling stamps and dies to achieve this with, as the Create a 'scape system allows you to add dimension to each scene in various ways!<br />
<br />
...here's a peek at my project...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixvzsL5pFXqKu06KKiUoAi4uzfq5wRj0nBl5_YMXmATjmcyCCQrzvHw-Pp1jU2MqenXemRP0B7vaC3ae5Of2BBn0hC7fYUMccFvG4A0gmVaxYYJmolbgav_akfli7vBtwfixQZ0AYXvf2l/s1600/Wilderness+Retreat+Blog+Project+-+Final.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1256" data-original-width="966" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixvzsL5pFXqKu06KKiUoAi4uzfq5wRj0nBl5_YMXmATjmcyCCQrzvHw-Pp1jU2MqenXemRP0B7vaC3ae5Of2BBn0hC7fYUMccFvG4A0gmVaxYYJmolbgav_akfli7vBtwfixQZ0AYXvf2l/s640/Wilderness+Retreat+Blog+Project+-+Final.jpg" width="492" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really wanted to the scene to pop on this card, so I opted to forgo the paper collection for the most part and set to designing my own scene with just a plain white backdrop.<br />
<br />
Using the Eyelet Rectangle and Basics Die, I created a A2 sized card base from white card stock...and then die cut the smaller mat which nests into it also from white card stock. I then die cut the center of the mat where I was going to build the scene using the mid sized rectangle die also from the same collection.<br />
<br />
I used the same rectangle die I had previously used for the mat to die cut a piece from within the Wilderness Retreat Collection to use as the background for the sky. I loved that it had a bit of yellowish hue among the blue tones so that it almost looked like this would be a sunset scene.<br />
<br />
I trimmed out the trout lake scene, and then die cut the top of it only...which gives you that beautiful treeline! I die cut the mountains using the coordinating die as well. Then it became time to start my scene building.<br />
<br />
I positioned my lake illustration on the back of the window of the die cut mat, trimmed off any bits along the sides that were not needed and then adhered the scene to the back of the mat using some Designer Dries Clear Adhesive. I then positioned my mountains behind the scene as I wanted them to appear, and glued just the sides, pulling them in a little bit towards the center of the card so that they would stand up slightly without having to use any dimensional tape or foam dots. I then adhered background from the paper collection to the back of the mat enclosing the scene in fully. At that time, I then was able to add dimensional foam tape to the back of the scene filled mat and popped it up off the base of the card.<br />
<br />
I wanted this card to almost appear like a picture or snap shot, so I thought it would be fun to frame it with one of the eyelet rectangles from the set I'd already been playing with. I decided to adhere it onto the card base slightly off balance just to give the card a bit of interest. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim5tWkEiq-CkIAdFFVKiPJ1lT9HeZPwdzDuwjRXKMSXCRfjh1c30s-neJw_EAEPxsMqzSFAdOTWvew3-id-L2llzsdun5TVbuHEew8lAtr_FwOBQE8ivrhp3OCBxFz4U56SPY5o2aCyQii/s1600/Wilderness+Retreat+Blog+Project+-+close+up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="399" data-original-width="724" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim5tWkEiq-CkIAdFFVKiPJ1lT9HeZPwdzDuwjRXKMSXCRfjh1c30s-neJw_EAEPxsMqzSFAdOTWvew3-id-L2llzsdun5TVbuHEew8lAtr_FwOBQE8ivrhp3OCBxFz4U56SPY5o2aCyQii/s640/Wilderness+Retreat+Blog+Project+-+close+up.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
....and now came the fun of making the card even more dimensional...<br />
<br />
I stamped the cattail and the tree stump illustrations onto mixed media paper and set about to water coloring them as well. I also stamped a second trout lake illustration and colored that one up fully too as I knew I would want to make the jumping fish dimensional, as well as some of the rocks in the lake! (Hint - Don't throw out the rest of your colored images after you've die cut the rocks and the fish...they will work to trim apart to add to other cards you are creating outdoor scenes on!)<br />
<br />
I die cut all of the images with the coordinating dies and then proceeded to add them to the project. You'll see that for the rocks I've actually added them slightly offside of the original image when popped up just so that the rock piles appear larger and that there are more of them. The cattails I have adhered to the card base using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and then added the tree stump on top of them using foam tape.<br />
<br />
For the finishing touch, I chose a preprinted sentiment from the Wilderness Retreat Paper Collection, inked the edges using Ranger Archival - Paradise Teal, and then adhered it to the lovely little scene using dimensional foam tape. <br />
<br />
Then came time to add just a hint of glitter! Using my Designer Dries Clear Adhesive, I added some Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter to the cattails, the fish, the mountain tops and the the ripples in the lake. It was just the right amount of sparkle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I love that this card has so many interesting dimensional features but will still be easily mailed without having to worry about any damage!<br />
<br />
I do hope you've enjoyed today's share!<br />

<i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Warm balmy breezes, glistening sun baked sand, and the
sound of frothy waves lapping at the shoreline are the perfect assembling of
elements to create a tranquil and soothing haven where a tired soul can find
rest. The sights, smells, and sounds of the ocean somehow know how speak to
your inner most being and conjure up feelings of fresh hope, renewed dreams,
and a sense of well-being, as troubles are cast aside, drifting off to the
bottom of the sea. A large, towering lighthouse stands vigilant, ready to bring
those at on the water safely home while at the same time beckoning you to come
for a closer look as you stroll across the gritty ground, bending low to gather
tiny, opalescent sea shells as your meander along the shoreline. Enjoy the
peace and tranquility that sea breezes carry as you immerse yourself in the
beauty and solitude of the new Sea Breeze Collection from Heartfelt Creations!
Roll up your pant legs and stroll through a captivating paper collection filled
with hues of crisp ocean blues, light sandy browns, glistening corals, and
stunning sunset oranges intertwined with faded yellows and fiery reds. Discover
beautiful beach scenes displaying stately lighthouses, soaring seagulls, and
elegant sailboats as you saunter through every page of this peaceful and
calming assembling of artistically styled decorative papers. Stamp, color and
die cut your very own seaside harbor retreats for all of your paper crafting
creations with the wonderful assortment of cling stamp sets and coordinating
dies, boasting detailed illustrations of sand engulfed fences, rocky lighthouse
abodes, charming row boats, and pretty sea shells. So, shed your sandals, breathe
deeply, and join us as we take in the soothing ambiance of the seaside with the
breathtaking Sea Breeze Collection!</span></i></div>

I spent several evenings in front of the tv doing some coloring with this collection!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose to color with my Zig Markers as I felt this was the perfect collection to do some water coloring! I am so happy with how the colored images turned out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the card base, I chose one of the premade 6" x 6" background card panels that had just a bit of imagery on it. I die cut a circle into the side of the card base and then die cut an eyelet circle frame to go around the opening. Using a Stack and Store Dauber, I inked the edges of the card panel using Ranger Archival Ink - Coffee. I adhered the circle from the card panel to the card base and then using pop dots I added in the lighthouse image. I stamped a second lighthouse image, colored up the rocks along the shore and then die cut them with the coordinating die. I then adhered them to the lighthouse illustration once again using pop dots. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...here's a closer peek at the lighthouse scene...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then adhered the rest of the premade card panel to the card front using dimensional foam tape. This way, it would pop up off the page and allow room for the dimensional lighthouse scene!<br />
<br />
I stamped, colored, and die cut some clouds, seaside weeds and the lovely little seagulls...both those flying in the air and those below the lighthouse scene!<br />
<br />
I adhered the greenery to the bottom of the lighthouse scene, and added the little feathered friends along the bottom! I staggered the clouds, applying them to the card base with dimensional foam tape. <br />
<br />
I trimmed out a portion of a sentiment strip from the Sea Breeze Paper Collection, inked the edges with Ranger Archival Ink - Coffee, and adhered it to the top of the card as shown, and then proceeded to add in the seagulls in flight in and around the clouds. <br />
<br />
As a finishing touch, I added just a hint of shimmer to the clouds, as well as the greenery and the sand using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and Crystal Ultrafine Glitter.<br />
<br />
I hope you've enjoyed today's share!<br />
