Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening!
It's been awhile since we've spent some time together!
I'm so glad you're here!
It's another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday, and today we're debuting the new Frame a Card Dies!
I promise you're going to fall in love with these!
The collection of Frame a Card Dies includes four wonderful and elegant options for cutting your card bases or adding a touch of elegance to card fronts, no matter how ornate or more simple your card design may be!
To learn more about each of these Frame a Card dies, watch this YouTube Video and sit back and relax as Emma Lou takes you through what you can do with each of the designs!
As for me, I thought I'd create a little project to share with you featuring the Eyelet Rectangle & Basics Die, along with the Intricate Swirl Frames Die. Since wedding season is quickly approaching, I thought these dies would be perfect for creating a bridal shower/wedding card.
...here's how the project turned out...
I've die cut the card base using the largest rectangle die to create a 5" x7" card base. You can find full instructions on how to cut a card base using the die in the video listed above!
Then I've moved on to creating a beautiful background with the Intricate Swirl Frames Die!
Don't you just love the detailing in the Swirl Frame die? The gorgeous edging, and the perfect stitching...and of course the inlay is divine...I've added it into the center, flat onto the image and have popped up the frame itself with foam tape to give it all some beautiful dimension. I thought the heart die cut from the Heartfelt Love Collection would blend into the intricacy of the gorgeous frame and I do love how it turned out! It too has been popped up off of the card base using pop dots, and I have accented it with a Nuvo Glitter Brush to give it a subtle, but elegant shimmer.
...here's a closer peek at that heart accent - if you look really close you can see that there is a slight shimmer on it...
As you can see, I've also added glitter to the preprinted image of the wedding bells, as well as all of the flowers!
Of course we need to have a gorgeous floral arrangement to go with the beauty of the Frame Die, so I've created a floral cluster using a large Sweet Peony, a Hydrangea created from the Lush Lilac, and of course some small roses, buds and accent flowers perfect for the wedding season!
...here's a closer look at the flowers...
I've added prills for the center of the peony, I've glittered the rose with a Crystal Clear Ultrafine Transparent Glitter, and the lilac blossoms for the hydrangea have all been heat embossed with white embossing power and have then had a hint of New Sprout Memento Ink brushed over part of their petals slightly so that there is a touch of color to draw the eye to the cluster. Each of the lilac blossoms have had a wired stamen put through the center to give them some added extra sparkle. I've used a few of the smaller rose flowers to create single accent flowers and have wired them so they will stand up off the card. They too have white wired stamen centers to give them a touch of shine.
For the greenery, I've used several stamped images from the Classic Rose Collection and have also added a few of the peony foliage pieces as well. They have been colored using two green inks and have been blended together with the Stack and Store Daubers.
All in all, I am quite happy how this creation came together, and I think it would be a lovely wedding presentation card!
I hope you've enjoyed what I've shared with you here today!
