Pansy Filled Gift Bag...

Happy Wednesday!
Can you believe it's another release day with Heartfelt Creations!
I'm sure by now you've seen the stunning Burst of Spring Collection
 featuring the Pansy flower!!!

I've been with Heartfelt Creations for a number of years now, and I have to say that this is the collection I have been patiently waiting for! I love pansies! This collection is perfect for absolutely any and every occasion....from Sympathy, Get Well, Birthday...the list goes on and on!

For my initial project with this stunning collection, I opted to "accessorize" a pretty little gift bag I purchased at my local dollar store. I thought it was such a pretty spring blue, and would look wonderful with my favorite dark blue/purple pansies! I thought this would be so pretty for little Easter treats!

...here's how my project turned out...


The gorgeous intricate die cut from the Sweetheart Borders Die was the perfect layering base to tie into the design.

I stamped, colored and die cut the floral spray from the Burst of Spring Cling Stamp Set, and used that as my layering background image for the floral cluster. I've then stamped, colored and  snipped apart one of the gorgeous pansy sprays in the Delicate Pansy Spray Cling Stamp Set to act as a filler above and below the other floral image. A few dimensional pansies and several sweet filler images from the Backyard Blossoms Cling Stamp Set, and my arrangement was complete! You won't believe how beautifully and quickly those pansies come together when you use the 3D Pansy Shaping Mold!!

...and here's a close up of the pansy flowers...


Of course, it just wasn't finished without some gorgeous sparkle and some prill flower centers!

I do hope you've enjoyed today's share!
Thank you so much for stopping by!
I love our time together here in blogland!

Adhere large pansy spray die cut to center of lace like die cut. Take one of the smaller pansy sprays and cut in half. Adhere one half to top of floral spray on gift bag, and the other to the bottom to extend spray lengthwise.

Next, using small pansy flower accent die from Delicate Pansy Spray Die, die cut the center flower of the remaining small pansy spray. Trim into flower petals slightly and hand shape with Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.

Adhere pansy flowers to gift bag creating floral cluster as shown. The smallest hand shaped single pansy will be closest to the bottom.

Floral Fashionista Corset Gift Box...

Good Morning, Afternoon, or Evening, 
depending on where you are reading this!
I'm so glad you're able to stop by my little spot in blogland!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends!
It's hard to believe that it is over so quickly, isn't it!
Did you get any crafty items that you had on your wish list?
I hope there were a few Heartfelt Creations items under the tree for you!

Well, it's another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday, and this week I have some quick and easy packaging I want to share with you!

Are you familiar with the gift/jewelry boxes that you can purchase at your local dollar store.
They are usually white in color and are blank with no design...so you can decorate them in any way you wish!
Well, I just couldn't resist sprucing one up with the Floral Fashionista Collection!

...here's how it turned out...


I am so in love with how this came together!
If you've followed me for awhile, you know that I always feel bad when giving someone a gift card!
This totally makes me feel better about gifting someone a gift card!

I chose a background paper and matted it onto the box cover, trimming is just slightly smaller than the box. I then added a delicate lace like die cut to the top and bottom of the matting.
I actually used one of the pocket accent dies from the Decorative Pocket Accents die and trimmed it to fit!

For the coloring, I've used my Zig Color Clean Real Brush Markers and a watercolor brush. Watercoloring is perfect for this feminine collection as it gives it such a soft feel. In this creation, I chose to watercolor a little more darkly, as I wanted that corset to be a little more brightly colored.

The flowers I have stamped in Ranger Archival Ink - Magenta Hue and Majestic Violet, and have inked their petal tips in the same color after they have been die cut with the coordinating die.
Then, shaping was quick and EZ with the coordinating 3D Petite Florals Flower Shaping Mold!
 
...here's a closer look at this beautiful corset image and darling florals...


I hope I've inspired you today and that you've fallen in love with the Floral Fashionista Collection as I have! It's just so perfect for so many different occasions!
