Announcing the new Frame a Card Dies from Heartfelt Creations...

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!

Until next time...

Wedding Bells Bridal Card...

Hello!

My goodness, it certainly feels like I have not had anything to share here in awhile!

It's another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday, and last week the Classic Wedding Collection was released!  It is such a beautiful and romantic collection with such soft colors!

Here's a little about the collection...

Church bells ring out and there’s an excitement in the air!  Loved ones have gathered together to celebrate two hearts joined in friendship being united in love!  Beautiful roses provide a classic and romantic décor while soft music lends to the ambiance as the bride and groom beam seeing one another for the first time on their wedding day!  Preserve those special “Happily Ever After” memories with the new Classic Wedding Collection by Heartfelt Creations.  Filled with romantic imagery of stately church bells, classic roses and fanciful doves, this softly hued paper collection is sure to add to the nostalgia and romance of these precious moments while showcasing memories of such a special day.  Soft peaches, pinks, greens and blue tones lend a timeless and elegant backdrop to graceful swirls, lace like elements and romantic script!  Commemorate the special occasion with dreamily illustrated cling stamp sets depicting glorious heart shaped rose wreaths, elegant church bells, beautiful wedding rings and a delicate image of a bride and groom, complete with coordinating dies perfect for embellishing bridal shower, wedding or anniversary creations!  Five marvelous sentiments are included to ensure you have the perfect well wishes to complete your bridal or anniversary card or scrapbook layout!  Add a touch of splendor and sophistication with either of the two intricate and impressive lace like dies included in this sentimental collection!  So, please rise…and join with us in celebrating those special moments that represent “Always and Forever”!

For my project this week I decided to create a special card front using one of the dies found in the Decorative Medallion Die set.  I knew I wanted to use the gorgeous wedding bells illustration and found a premade card panel in the Classic Wedding Paper Collection that would work with what I had in mind perfectly! 

Here's how it all came together...

Now, my daughter and I had a good chuckle about this card...and we'll get to that in just a moment!
But first, I want to show you what the card looks like when it's open!

Doesn't that gorgeous preprinted 6"x6" card panel just bring everything together when you open it and see the full wedding bell and rose illustration?

Now...onto the humorous side of this card!
When Emma Lou previewed the Classic Wedding Collection video and how to make a fancy fold card using these exact die cuts, my daughter and I chuckled because the base was pretty much the exact same base I had just created several days before.  I can't tell you how happy I was though when I saw that Emma Lou hadn't used the bride and groom or the wedding bells!  LOL

I've used the Classic Rose stamp and die combination to create my flowers.  I've added the frosting powder and heat set it using my heat tool.  All of the coloring has been done with Spectrum Noir Blendable pencils and gamasol solution.  I wanted the card to be super soft and romantic.  
Just as Emma Lou did on her card, I've sponged glitter all over the die cuts on the card base, as well as the preprinted images on the inside of the card and them sprinkled it all with a transparent glitter.  If you look super closely at the first picture, you'll see that find shimmer...it just doesn't show up on the photos very well. 

This wedding collection is so soft and beautiful and perfect for creating all those wedding cards, presentation envelopes, gift bags, etc. that you need during the summer wedding season! 
Be sure to stop by the Heartfelt Creations blog to catch up on all of the other gorgeous projects the rest of the design team have created using this alluring collection!

Until next time...

Dancing With Roses...

Hello and Welcome!

I cannot believe that it is Wednesday once again!

This is the last week of sharing the Classic Rose Collection by Heartfelt Creations!  Next week we begin showcasing the gorgeous Blushing Rose Collection.  If you have not seen the sneak peeks yet, you can find those here.  

I decided to to create a pair of ballet slipper from a cutting file I had purchased from SVG Cuts!  After all...what goes together better than roses and ballet slippers!  LOL

These paper ballet slippers are the perfect size to create adorable ornaments...imagine these on your Christmas tree!  Even trade up the roses for tiny poinsettias....adorable!!!!

Here's a look at how the project turned out...

I love how these turned out!

The soft pink patterned paper in the paper collection was perfect to create the slippers...and the gorgeous purple hued pattern on the double sided sheet makes the insides pretty as well!  

I decided to go with purple roses to match the inside of the ballet shoes.  

Here's a closer look at the roses...

On this project I've added no sparkle or shine.  I thought it was soft and beautiful just the way it was.

Well, that's all for me today...short and sweet!

Be sure to head on over to the Heartfelt Creations blog to see what the rest of the design team have been up to...such a creative bunch!

Until next time...

Using the Classic Rose Paper Collection and SVG files, cut out all pieces for ballet slippers using electronic die cutting machine.  Assemble using a strong paper glue.  Adhere seam binding to slippers as shown, allowing enough extra ribbon to tie a bow.  Stamp several inkings of the midsized rose petals, as well as the smallest rose petals from the Classic Rose Collection onto white card stock using a dark purple ink.  Apply lighter purple color to petals using sponge dauber.  Die cut using coordinating dies, and then add a darker purple color to each of the edges of each petal.  Shape petals and assemble two medium sized roses and one smaller rose. Stamp two inkings of the leaves from the Classic Rose Cling Stamp Set onto white card stock using a dark green ink.  Apply a lighter green color to leaves and then die cut using coordinating die.  Apply a dark green ink to the edges of all the leaves using a sponge dauber. Shape and then adhere to toes of ballet slippers.  Adhere roses atop of greenery.  Stamp and color the foliage cling stamp set image from the Rose Vines Cling Stamp Set using the same technique you used for the other greenery.  Shape, and then trim apart to fill in areas needing some extra filling around roses. 

Clean and Simple Classic Roses...

Welcome!

I'm so glad you've taken time out of your busy day to visit here today!

I have something a little bit different to share with you...it's a clean and simple design...the type I  usually shy away from...but the larger rose image in the Classic Rose Collection by Heartfelt Creations just deserved to be showcased in a simple fashion where all eyes are drawn to it!

   Add the fact that we're blog hopping this month with Chameleon Markers, and I knew I would just do some coloring and create a very simple Sympathy Card.  

Here's how the project turned out...

I've done some dimensional matting, as well as a touch of dry embossing on the white background paper.  A few sequins and the creation was complete!

Here's a closer look at that gorgeous rose image...

It has been a pure treat pulling out my Chameleon Markers again!  I had not played with them much until it was announced that we would be doing a collaborative hop with Chameleon Markers!  It takes a little to get the hang of these markers, but just as with flower shaping...practice practice and practice will get you there!

My coloring is not as perfect as I would like it to be...but it will get there!

Be sure to hop on over to the Heartfelt Creations blog to get all of the details on the giveaways and qualifications to be eligible for the prizes being offered by Heartfelt Creations and Chameleon Markers.  While you're there, be sure to take in the other amazing creations the rest of the design team have created for your inspirations!

It's a Beautiful Life with You...

Can you believe that September is already half gone?

The kids have been in school for a few weeks now, and routine is starting to set in at our house.  

The leaves are turning beautiful shades of yellows, reds and browns and you can just feel that fall is in the air!

Today is Wednesday, so if you've been following me for awhile, you know that means it's a Heartfelt Creations share!

Last week the new Classic Rose Collection was released!  Have you gotten yours already?

It's a beautiful flower and with so many different petal sizes, you can create any size rose you're needing for those special projects.  

Here's my project share for this week...

(My apologies for the poor color in this photo...it's been raining again and I just couldn't catch a break with some sun!)

I've kept the project quite simple this week...a bunch of layered and dimensional matting creates an effective card base giving the creation some extra pizzaz!  I've colored up some of the stamped images used here using Chameleon Markers...we're participating in a month long blog hop in September...there are some great prizes to be won!

Join in the fun and learn some great coloring techniques! Chameleon Markers is offering a chance to win a 5 pack of Chameleon pens and we are giving everyone the chance to win a $25 Heartfelt Creations Gift Certificate when you leave a comment on the blog and join our creative community on Facebook.

Now, back to more details of my creation...

I've inked the petals on the dimensional rose before shaping with several shades of orange to give the preprinted peach florals on the card front and background a little pop!

I've added some pearls to give the card a soft and romantic touch...and voila...it's complete!

A card that can come together quickly and yet has some stunning dimension and visuals to it!

(You can find the full instructions to creating this project below.)

...and here's a close up of the dimensional rose nestled among the pretty vines...

Introducing the Classic Rose Collection...

It's new release day with Heartfelt Creations...and I'd like to introduce you to the "Classic Rose" Collection!  It's absolutely dreamy!

Here's a little about it...
 

Beautiful in color, exquisite in fragrance, and ever so dignified, the rose is one of the most coveted flowers found in chic bouquets, or carefully tended flower gardens.  Breathtaking in bud form, as a blossom gently opening, or in full bloom, it is a flower that calls attention to itself and beckons you to pause and quietly reflect upon its elegance.  Heartfelt Creations invites you to stop, fall quiet and immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the new Classic Rose Collection!  Filled with delicate illustrations of roses ranging from buds, to full blossoms, rose wreaths and flower filled vines, the three cling stamp sets and coordinating dies included in this assembling will have you building gorgeous rose gardens filled with varying sizes of dimensional flowers as realistic as those found in nature themselves.  The captivating decorative paper collection will whisk you away to perfectly manicured rose filled grounds, serene meadows where brooks babble and wild roses hold their heads high, and alluring views from charming old world buildings clad in weathered brick and vining florals.  The handsome color palette of regal purples, deep brick like reds, rich corals and leafy greens filled with delicate swirls, stunning brickwork and floral patterns, along with tender handwritten script are among just a few of the magnificent elements found within this graceful paper assembling. So join us as we slow down, enjoy the view and take some time to linger and smell the roses.      

Well, I fell in love with the gorgeous window scene in the paper collection and decided that the window die cut from the Botanic Orchid Collection would be perfect to pair with it on this project!

Here's a peek at my creation for the week...

...and here's a closer look at the new classic rose...

This month we are partnering up with Chameleon Markers...and if you haven't tried them yet, they are awesome!  I've used them in this project to color all of the foliage, as well as the stamped background rose images.  The shaped flowers have been inked using Rouge ColorBox ink.
I've added a touch of white gesso to some of the petals on each of the shaped roses just to give them a softer look.  I've added glitter to the stamped and colored images, as well as the preprinted image on the background paper.

I hope you've enjoyed this weeks project and have been inspired to create some beautiful roses of your own!  Be sure to visit the Heartfelt Creations blog for more amazing projects featuring this new collection as well as Chameleon Markers!

Until next time...
