Hello, Hello, Hello!
I'm so happy to have you stop by here today...it seems like it's been awhile that we've spent time together here!
It's another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday, and this week I have a quick and simple share with you featuring the Tulip Time Collection!
I thought since Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, I would try to encourage you to get started on your Valentine's Day creations! The color palette of the Tulip Time Collection is perfect for Valentine's Day!
For a twist, I decided I was going to try to add in some unique color combinations that normally I would not pair together...in case you haven't noticed, my creations always seem to be kind of matchy matchy! LOL
...here's how this labor of love turned out...
...I kind of like the different colors I've used here...the oranges, purples, pinks and of course a reddish hue as well....
I've always loved the love and chocolate sentiment from the Heartfelt Love Collection and decided it would be awesome paired with the Valentine's Day sentiment from the same cling stamp set. The Heartfelt Love Collection also has the wonderful nesting eyelet hearts that made creating this card super easy!
This 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card really didn't take me that long to make as I had many of the flowers already stamped and die cut, so I just needed to do some quick shaping. The peony leaves were the same story...stamped, colored and die cut just hanging out in my flower storage waiting to be used at some point.
The gorgeous tulip images have been hand colored using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Makers and can you believe that those little reddish hued flowers are actually the smallest tulip petals from the Tulip Time Cling Stamp Set...they've been just lightly shaped with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit! The itty bitty florals are the Petite Florals from the Floral Fashionista Collection...and are the perfect size to accent any project!
A sprinkling of glitter, some prill centers, and a bit of heat embossing and the whole card has some interest and texture!
I hope you've enjoyed my share today...and I hope you've been encouraged to to get a jump on your Valentine's Day creating!
You can find the full supply list and instructions below!
Until next time...

Create a 4.25” x 5.5” card base from white card stock.
Choose a patterned background paper from the Tulip Time Paper Collection for
card base mat. Using the coordinating mat die from the Eyelet Rectangles and
Basics die and your manual die cutting machine, cut your background mat from
the decorative paper.
Using a piece of hydra sponge and ColorBox Pigment Ink
– Frost White, dab ink onto several areas along each side of the decorative
paper mat. Sprinkle with white embossing powder and set using heat tool.
Using one of the larger heart dies from the Eyelet
Hearts Die, cut a heart into the far side of the decorative paper as shown,
creating a heart shaped window in which to stamp sentiment. Next, using the
same heart die cut, locate the slightly larger eyelet heart die version that
coordinates and nest the two together using a low tack tape. Then die cut from
white card stock to create an eyelet shaped heart frame. Ink heart frame using
Ranger Archival Ink – Magenta Hue. Using a piece of hydra sponge, apply a thin
layer of Designer Dries Clear Adhesive to the heart shaped frame and sprinkle
with Rajni Chawla’s Crystal Clear.
Cut a smaller heart die cut from the Eyelet Hearts Die
from white card stock. Ink edges using Ranger Archival Ink – Magenta Hue. Stamp
Valentine’s Day sentiment onto heart using Ranger Archival Ink – Jet Black.
Stamp second sentiment into heart shaped window using Ranger Archival Ink – Jet
Black. Adhere glittered heart frame to large die cut heart shaped window.
Stamp one inking of the large tulip blossoms, and two
of the tulip filled bucket found in the Tulip Bouquet Die onto smooth
watercolor paper using Ranger Archival Ink – Jet Black. Color using Zig Clean
Color Real Brush Markers. Using the coordinating dies, die cut all
embellishments. Die cut the smaller tulip blossoms from the bouquet in the
tulip bucket using the coordinating die. Using Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit, shape
small tulips slightly. From the second bucket image, using scissors cut off the
bucket portion of the image as you will just use the tulip bouquet from the
illustration. Using a dries clear glue, layer the shaped tulips onto the
bouquet you’ve trimmed off of the bucket image.
Stamp two inkings of the small tulip blossom petals
from the Tulip Time Cling Stamp Set onto white card stock using Ranger Archival
Ink - Plum. Die cut using coordinating die. Using Stack and Store Daubers, ink
petals using Ranger Archival Ink – Magenta Hue, and then add Ranger Archival
Ink – Vermillion overtop. Shape ever so slightly using Deluxe Flower Shaping
Kit. Adhere two petal pieces together to create flower – you will need two.
Stamp one inking of petite florals from the Floral
Fashionista Cling Stamp Set onto white card stock first using Ranger Archival
Ink – Magenta Hue, and then another stamping in Ranger Archival Ink – Majestic
Violet. Ink each of the petals in the corresponding colors they have been
stamped in. Die cut using coordinating dies, and then shape using 3D Petite
Florals Shaping Mold.
Stamp several leaves from the Small and Large Sweet
Peony Cling Stamp Sets onto white card stock using Ranger Archival Ink – Fern
Green. Color using Stack and Store Daubers using Ranger Achival Ink – Leaf
Green. Die cut using coordinating dies, and shape slightly using Deluxe Flower
Shaping Kit.
Position and adhere the larger tulip flowers beside
the large heart die cut window as a background accent for behind smaller heart
die cut. Next, position and adhere a portion of the smaller tulip bouquet to
the backside of the smaller heart die cut so the bouquet flows from the bottom
of the heart shape. Using pop dots, adhere small heart to card base as shown.
Add tulip flowers and petite florals as shown. Add in peony leaves as fillers
where desired.
Using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and metal tip,
apply prills to flower centers and Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter to all
flowers and die cut embellishments.
