Snowman Tag Plus a BIG Announcement



I love snowmen - do you?     This  little snowman from Heartfelt Creations  is just the right size to place on a tag. I think this tag will be perfect for  my youngest grandson's Christmas gift.   I started off with a tan shipping tag. A piece of plaid design paper was added to the front then using Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink sponged the ink on the top portion and around the edges. A small piece of “snowflake” ribbon was added at the top. The tag was backed with dark green card stock then I used a gold leafing pen to go around the edges.

The snowman was stamped using Vivid brown ink and was colored using Copic markers. The snowflakes and greeting were stamped with VersaMark ink and white embossed. I used scissors to cut around them. The snowman, snowflakes and greeting were attached with dimensional tape. Gold/Brown fuzzy yarn was cut, pulled through the hole in the tag and tied at the top.

Tutorial for using Heartfelt Creations Stamps and Dies



Joan Fricker (Joan's Gardens) and I love working with Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies and I want to share some information about them with you.   Heartfelt Creations stamps are produced in the USA and are made with high quality red rubber to ensure great stamped impressions every time. Their PreCut stamp sets are mounted on a cling foam, ready to be used on acrylic blocks.  The exciting part I love,  is that  the stamp sets also have matching dies that enable you to  create a 3-D stamped dimension without using scissors. These quality dies are manufactured by Spellbinders. I know you will enjoy being able to quickly create dimensional embellishments for all your stamping projects.  Below is a tutorial to show you how easy it is to create dimension to this  pretty  Heartfelt Creations flower branch.  This card was created to demonstrate a technique and does not contain a lot of embellishment.



 When I receive my Heartfelt Creations dies, I like to start out by cutting templates for each one.  You tape the die down to a small piece of card stock.  If you have a larger die than what I am using in this picture, you want to press the portion of the tape that will be on the inside of your die to your clothes a couple of times to remove some of the sticky off it. That will help it release from your stamped image easily.


Create your templates by running them through your die cutting machine.  You can actually cut several different size templates at once.  Space them around on the cutting plate so they don't overlap.


 
 This picture shows how you lift the die (with the tape still attached, and remove the cut out portion from the die.  You will be using this template to cut out all the stamped images this size.

 This is a picture of the Heartfelt Creations Posie Patch PreCut set and the matching dies.  You can see there are seven different posie stamps and a matching die for each.


Once I have all my templates cut, I leave the die attached to the template and store them in a CD case.  Here you can see the two dies I will be using, taken out of the storage case, and the images stamped that I will be using.  The stamp set I used is "Hydrangea/Posy Branch Precut Set, and is also pictured.




 In this photo, I have colored my stamped images.  In order to cut out the individual flowers in this sample,  I cut apart the main image from the individual flowers so it will fit through my die cutting machine. 



 This picture shows why it important to have the template.  You can move the template around until you have it placed perfectly over your stamped image.  You then press the die down into the template.  The tape helps to hold it in place.  A quick and perfect cut out image every time. 


 Run this through your Cuttlebug.

 . 
 This is a picture of the branch I want to create dimension on and the individual flowers I have cut out with the dies.

 I purchased  this great little flower tool kit from Joan's Gardens to help  shape die cut or punched flowers.  These tools make it quick and easy to really give each flower a pretty dimensional shape.

 The stamped branch was cut out with the largest Nestabilities Label Four die.  Before taking it out of the die, I used a sponge dauber to add color around the edge of the frame.

A dot of glue was added to the back of each die cut flower and added to my main image.  I used a stylus to press down in the center to make sure the image is securely attached.  Using the stylus helps maintain the dimension/shape you have created with each flower because you can easily press down just above the dot of glue.  A decorative center was added to each flower.  The pretty white embossed flourish is from the Heartfelt Creations "Flourish Backgrounds" PreCut set.

I have had a lot of comments about how time consuming the Lilac card I posted a few days ago must have been.  Can you see now how quick and easy it was to create that beautiful flower!  I believe the lilac card is one of my favorite cards because of all the dimension I was able to create using the matching dies. 

Now you know how I make all those dimensional cards.  I hope this tutorial inspires you to start creating beautiful 3-D stamped projects. There are many beautiful Heartfelt Creations stamp sets and dies to help you make fabulous dimensional Christmas cards too.  Here is the link at Joan's Gardens for these fabulous stamps and dies.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

There is something exciting about to happen you will definitely want to know about.  Be sure to subscribe to Joan's Gardens blog so you don't miss out on this exciting news.

Vintage Tilda


It is snowing today so I'm staying in and have a second card for you today.  This is another cute Magnolia stamp you can purchase from Joan's Gardens.  Her name is Vintage Tilda.  With that name I had to go through my pretty Webster's Pages "Waiting for Santa & Sweet Season" petite papers to find the perfect background.  Since Tilda is holding a Christmas ornament, I thought this page with the Christmas trees would be perfect. 

Tilda was stamped and colored with Copic markers then cut out.  I used a long deckle rectangle Nestie die to cut a frame for her to sit in.  The verse is from the JustRite "A Merry Little Christmas" stamp set.  Just perfect for my image.  Glitter was added to the ornament Tilda is holding and on the lights on the tree in the design paper.  A gold bow was added to complete the card.

Tomorrow I will be posting a tutorial for you.  It is something a lot of people have requested so I hope you will be back tomorrow.  

Have a great weekend.

Happy Fall


Is this what your neighborhood looks like?   I love to drive down the street and see all the beautiful autumn colors and big piles of colorful leaves on the ground. I know, it's a lot of work to rake them up, but still they look beautiful.  And oh what fun the kids have playing in them.  Some of my favorite pictures are of my children when they were little, were taken when they were playing in the autumn leaves.

I created this scene using the beautiful "All Seasons Tree" from Heartfelt Creations stamps. The background is a piece of designer paper from The Paper Studio “Mirabelle” paper pack. It is backed with olive card stock. The tree was stamped onto a different piece of design paper and I sponged several different Tim Holtz Distress inks on it. It was attached with adhesive to the background paper. A bunch of small oak leaves from the HFC "Open Falling Leaves" set were stamped using brown ink. They were sponged with several colors of Tim Holtz Distress inks and then cut out with matching dies. The leaves were shaped then attached around the border. The greeting, from the All Seasons Tree set, was stamped with brown ink. A pretty plaid bow was attached to the corner to complete the card.

Beary Good Harvest





Isn't this a cute stamp from Heartfelt Creations stamps!  This was a fun card to make because I used extra Heartfelt Creations leaves and pumpkin to create  a very dimensional card. This is another card I created for the Heartfelt Creations Blog this week.  Have you been over to see the sneak peek for new products coming out on Black Friday?  Here is the link.

The Beary Good Harvest image was stamped on ivory card stock. I cut out the bottom of the image with scissors then placed the largest Big Scalloped Circles Nestability under the cut out portion and cut the image out. This was placed on a Classic Square Scalloped Large Nestability die, using dimensional dots. The image was colored using colored pencils and OMS. Tim Holtz Distress ink was sponged around the image.

One pumpkin and three small oak leaves were stamped, colored, and cut out with matching dies. The pumpkin and extra leaves were layered around the main image. A bow was added to complete the front of the card.

The greeting on the inside of the card is from the Open Falling Leaves set. It was stamped with brown ink. A Martha Stewart border was punch, using the same designer paper that was used on the front of the card, and attached below the greeting.

Joan's Garden Challenge #23


Joan has another fun challenge this week for the Joan's Gardens Challenge #23.  Here is the challenge. 
 
Make a card or project using the following: 
  • Create a Window card (Create an opening on the front of the card to see the image stamped inside.)
  • Use a Christmas Ornament - or something similar
  • Some thing Gold
  • Something fuzzy
This is a 5.5" ivory card.  I also cut another piece of ivory card stock slightly smaller to be placed over the top of the front of the card.  I attached the separate piece over the front of the card with removeable tap and cut an opening through the two pieces using the Nestability Big Scallop Ovals.  I used the largest die in the set.  A gold leaf marker was used to outline the opening.  Next I embossed the pretty pine trees using the Tim Holtz Sizzix "Tall Pines" embossing folder.  I love the deep embossing you get with these embossing folders.  I sponged Tim Holtz Distress ink on the trees to make them show up even better.    I wanted a winter scene. so I also embossed the front panel with the Cuttlebug dotted Swiss embossing folder.  Can you guess why I used that second piece of card stock on the top of my card?  I didn't want all that embossing to show through on the inside of the card. 

One of the ornaments from the Heartfelt Creations "Fancy Ornament PreCut Set" was gold embossed on ivory card stock. It was cut out with the matching HFC ornament die.  The inside of the card is lined with a piece of Basic Grey design paper.  The ornament was attached with dimensional dots in the center of the opening and a gold bow added on the top layer above the ornament.  I had to add something "fuzzy" to complete the challenge.  I didn't want to cover up those beautiful embossed pine tree with Flower Soft to resemble snow, so I added a piece of "fuzzy" trim along the bottom.  I placed a piece of ScorTape along the bottom edge and wrinkled up the trim along the bottom to resemble snow on the ground. 



I hope you join in on this fun challenge at Joan's Gardens.  You need to go over and see the beautiful ornament card Joan created and get all the information about the challenge here. 

All products used on this card can be purchased from Joan's Gardens.

Beautiful Heartfelt Creations Lilac





I love to work with the Heartfelt Creations Posy Patch stamps and dies.  Doesn't this lilac look very real!  This is one of my cards posted today on the Heartfelt Creations blog.  Be sure to go over and check out all the beautiful projects created by the designers on this week's post.

The lilac was stamped on white card stock and colored with Copic markers. It was then cut out with scissors. Extra posy flowers were stamped, colored and cut out with the matching die and attached with small pieces of dimensional tape.  You can see this in the closeup picture.  Three leaves were stamped and cut out with matching dies.  

A 5-inch square of lavender card stock was cut and a Martha Stewart border/corner punch was used for a lacy border. The “Elegante Swirl” was stamped with VersaMark and white embossed on this piece and layered onto a piece of dark purple card stock. The lilac was attached at the stem end with an adhesive and a piece of dimensional tape added at the top of the flower and it was arranged over the pretty swirl. The three leaves were layered around the stem then a light lavender Dotted Swiss bow added to the bottom of the stem. Pearls were added around the edges of the lacy background.

Didn't this create an elegant card!

Let It Snow


Our weather forecast is for snow this evening or tomorrow.  Winter came so fast this year.  I am posting a card with my favorite little snowman from Heartfelt Creations.  This is another card posted on the Heartfelt Creations blog this week.

The snowman was stamped twice with VersaMark ink – once on white card stock and once on vellum card stock and white embossed. Both were cut out. The image stamped on vellum was colored on the back with  markers then attached to the plain image with vellum tape. This gave a little more stability to the image.  I love the look of coloring on the back of vellum.  The background was embossed with the Cuttlebug Heritage embossing folder and attached to a piece of aqua card stock. The frame was cut out twice with the Spellbinder Classic Frame – once on aqua card stock and once on vellum card stock. The center was taken out and the vellum attached over the aqua card stock. The center of the frame, which is vellum, was white embossed with the Heartfelt Creations Medallion Background. The sentiment is from the Single Snowflakes set. It was cut out with an oval Nestie and sponged prior to taking it out of the die. The snowman and the sentiment were both attached with dimensionals. Martha Stewart snowflakes were added to the card, each with an aqua rhinestone added to the center.


Heartfelt Creations products used:  HCPC 3342 Snowmen Melt Your Heart Precut Set; HCPC 3338 Petite Medallion Background Precut set; HCPC 3344 Single Snowflakes Precut set.

Well I am hoping we don't get very much snow.  We have had two winters of six feet of snow so hoping this is a mild winter.

Bear-ly Raking



Today I have a card for you using a cute bear image from Heartfelt Creations.  He is busy raking the leaves on a beautiful autumn day.  This card and others created by the Heartfelt Creations Design Team can be seen here.

This is a 5x7” card. A large oval Nestability was used to cut an oval window in the front panel.  The design is stamped on the inside of the card. A Martha Stewart branch border punch was used for the border along the bottom and a strip of yellow card stock placed behind it.

The leaves were stamped and colored with Copic markers. They were then sprayed with an adhesive then glitter lightly sprinkled on them. They were placed at the top of the card with dimensional and a small brown knotted bow added. Three large and three small pumpkins were stamped and cut out with matching dies. They were colored with colored pencils and OMS. The vines were stamped and colored the same way then cut out with scissors. They were arranged on the bottom of the card. One large pumpkin was saved for the inside of the card.

The bear image was stamped on a piece of white card stock and colored with pencils and OMS. The sky was chalked. It was cut out and matted on yellow card stock. The design was centered under the opening on the front of the card. A single pumpkin was added to complete the card.

Star Tilda with Paper Punched Rose



Can you believe I created this card around the paper rose I made!  I used one of the new punches Joan is showing on her blog,  Joan's Gardens.  She has just listed a lot of new products. The punch I used is the "Super Giant Begonia Petals".    It is very easy to make these flowers, especially if you have the book and tools Joan has in stock.  Don't these flowers look real!

The designer paper I used is from the Graphic 45 "Le'Romantique Collection".  It matches my flower so well.  I created the flower using a very light peach card stock and sponged the edges with a light pink.  I love the color it turned out.  The stamp I am using is a Magnolia stamp called "Star Tilda".  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out.  An ivory Spellbinder "Fleur De Lis" pendant was cut out plus a "Big Scalloped Oval Sm Nestie.  The oval was sponged with peach ink and attached over the Pendant with dimensionals.  Tilda was placed in the center of the card and the rose up in the corner. Two leaves and a few ferns were added around it.  A piece of trim was added to the bottom.   

  It always gives me a great feeling adding an embellishment I made myself and is so fun to hear people make comments about how they can't believe I made it.  I plan to decorate a lot of gift boxes with these flowers which I know will really dress them up.  If you like to create your own beautiful flowers, be sure and check out all the new supplies Joan's Gardens now has in stock to create a variety of different flowers.

Francesca in the Winter Field


Hope you are having a great weekend.  Today I created a card using a new Stampavie stamp I recently got.   The name of the stamp is Francesca in the Winter Field by Sarah Kay.  I think this little girl is so cute.  I don't believe I have ever colored hair black.  I am always afraid I will totally mess things up when I use that color.  However, I decided to try and color Francesca's hair using a black colored pencil and OMS.  I think it worked pretty well.  Guess I don't need to be so afraid to color with black.  The whole image was colored with colored pencils and cut out with a square Nestie.  I cut out a frame to go under the image using the Nestie Lacy Square.  The tree was cut out with a Sizzix die.  I cut it out twice using textured card stock.  The second one was cut apart so I could sponge the edges and layer it to give it some dimension. 

Wow, that was a quick and easy card.  Joan's Gardens has a lot of the new Sarah Kay stamps.  It is always a hard decision on which ones to purchase, because they are all so darn cute. 

Have you joined in on the Joan's Gardens weekly challenge.  Here is the link for all the info.

Raintree Tilda


I spent most of the day with my family but wanted to get a card posted this afternoon. They are predicting snow next week so we took advantage of a pretty nice day.   I received a bunch of new stamps and have been anxious to "play" with them. This was a pretty quick and easy card to create.   I used another Magnolia stamp from Joan's Gardens.  Her name is "Raintree Tilda".  Two things came to mind when I saw her:  use the cute reindeer designer paper from the Kaiser Craft "Be Merry Collection" and the embossed Tim Holtz pine trees. Have you tried these embossing folders yet?  I am so impressed with how deeply they emboss. 

I stamped Tilda, colored her with Copic markers, then cut her out.  I use the Labels Four Nestabilities (the largest one) for a frame for Tilda.  The verse is from the JustRite "Holiday Demi Phrases" set.  All the verses in this set are half circles and work perfect for something like this.  After stamping the verse, I embossed the trees, then sponged around the edges with Tim Holtz Distress ink. I added a little green chalk to the trees so they would show up better. 

The striped designed paper was distressed around the edges using the Zutter Distrezz-It-All tool.  How how easy it is to run your paper through this little machine to distress the edges.  If you are interested in one, you can order it from Joan's Gardens.  I then used my sewing machine to stitch the papers together.  The background was attached with dimensionals and Tilda was also attached with more dimensionals.  I forgot to mention that a piece of red card stock, and two ribbons were layered across the middle before sewing the pieces together.  Using a Martha Stewart corner punch, I punched two corners into a piece of red card stock, cut them to fit the corners of the card, and attached them with adhesive.  A bow was added to complete the card.

All the products used on this card can be purchased from Joan Gardens.

Hope you have a great weekend.  Thanks again for stopping by.

Joan's Garden Challenge #22


It's time for another Joan's Gardens Weekly Challenge.  This week we are to make a card or project and use the following:   
  • A character ( preferably Magnolia or Sarah Kay)
  • Some thing that sparkles
  • Nestie by Spellbinders - New if you have one
  • Greeting
A few days ago I posted information about the new stamps Joan is now carrying in her store.  These Magnolia stamps are so cute.  This is my first time to work with them.  The stamp I used today is called "Tilda with Amaryllis".  Well I thought this would be a perfect stamp to use so I could make another amaryllis using the punches Joan now carries to create pretty flowers. 

My designer paper came from the Kasier Craft "Be Merry Collection" paper pad collection.  The white strips on it are fuzzy.  I stamped Tilda on white card stock and colored her with Copic markers.  I used a white marker to create polka dots on her dress.  To match the dp, I added Polar White Flower Soft to her vest. 

For the background for Tilda, I used one of the new Nestabilities called "Beaded Ovals".  I wanted some texture in the middle of this beaded oval so used a regular Nestie oval to cut a plain oval out and then embossed it with the Cuttlebug Dotted Swiss embossing folder.  Each layer is attached with dimensionals.  Each beaded oval has a red rhinestone added. 

I created the amaryllis using the instructions in the Flower Book that Joan now sells.  She carries the tools, punches, glue, and the book which has very easy instructions for creating many different flowers.  I am always so pleased with how realistic these flowers are. 

A red and white polka dot bow was added under the flower.  The Greeting is from the JustRite "A Very Merry Christmas Sentiments" stamp set.  It was cut out with a Nestability and each scallop pierced. 

I had fun completing this challenge.  I hope you will join us this week.  Here is the link to the challenge rules at Joan's Gardens.  If you enter a card, you will be entered into the random drawing for a nice prize.  Don't forget, everyone who has won a prize in the challenges will be eligible for the $100 Gift Certificate Joan will be giving away at the end of the year.  What a great prize.

Let It Snow Box



I have another gift box for you.  This is another project I created for  Heartfelt Creations.   I started off with a box I box on clearance last year after Christmas.  Two sizes of the Labels Seventeen Nestabilities were cut to layer under the snowman. The top layer is a piece I created using colors in the box to make a sheet of “Polished Stone” paper.  The colors really turned out perfect to match the box. The bottom layer is yellow card stock and was sponged with Tim Holtz Distress Ink prior to taking it out of the die – again to match the box. The snowman was stamped and colored using Copic markers. Rhinestones were added to the holly and a little glitter around the edge of the scarf and holly. A second bird was stamped and cutout with matching die to add dimension. The image was stamped again on yellow card stock and the scarf was sponged with Tim Holtz distressed ink, cut out and attached only under the neck of the snowman. The snowman was attached with dimensionals.   One each of the Heartfelt Creations snowflakes  were stamped, using gold glittery embossing powder, and cut out with matching dies. They were attached with dimensionals and a gold rhinestone added to the center. The verse, from the snowflake stamp set was stamped with black Memento ink.

Be sure to go over and visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog for a lot of inspiration.  A lot of new cards/projects, created by the designers,  were posted this morning.

Christmas Card with Vellum Flowers



I have had a lot of requests to post more cards using my vellum flowers.  This was not a hard request.  I also notice on my Blog Candy post that most of you said cards with my vellum flowers is one of your favorite things on my blog.

Today I used a piece of the beautiful design paper from Webster's Pages called "Waiting for Santa & Sweet Season" paper pack.  All the papers in this pack are so beautiful.  For the  greeting I use one of the stamps from the JustRite "Christmas Nested Sentiments" set and framed it with one of the frames from the JustRite "Christmas Nested Frames" set.  I used Copic markers to color the border then sponged Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink over it.  It was attached with adhesive to the design paper. 

I punched petals, using Martha Stewart punches, from a burgundy and an off white vellum.  I created them like I have shown in my "Punched Vellum Flower" tutorial.  These were arranged around the verse and punched vellum leaves added.  A small yellow bead was added to the center of the flowers.  A pretty bow was added to complete the card.

I wanted to let you know that you can still purchases the punches and vellum used for these flowers from Joan's Gardens.  Creating these flowers has been very popular.  Do you have a crafty friend you need a Christmas gift for?  The items to create these flowers would be a terrific gift. 
    
Well I hope I have given you another idea using these vellum flowers.  I think they look great even on this Christmas card.  What do you think?


All products used to create this card can be purchased from Joan's Gardens.

Heartfelt Creations Poinsettia Gift Box




This is a box I designed for Heartfelt Creations using HCPC 3340 Holly Leaves PreCut set.  Using the Holly Leaves I created a poinsettia. Twelve large, six medium and six small holly leaves were stamped on wine card stock with VersaMark ink and clear embossed. They were cut out with matching dies. Three large holly leaves were stamped on green card stock using VersaMark and were clear embossed. They were cut out with matching dies. The poinsettia was created the way Emma Lou demonstrated in a video on the Heartfelt Creations blog using one of the Petal precut sets. Gold beads were added the the center using Zip Dry glue.

The box I used is from Cosmo Cricket.  A 6x6" piece of KaiserCraft designer paper was used to decorate the top and sides of the box. The poinsettia and leaves were attached with glue dots. A double wired bow was added and shaped. Strips of another piece of green designer paper were cut and added to the sides, then a piece of gold trim was added around the box. It was attached using ScorTape. Four gold, flat backed, beads were added to each corner of the lid and four large beads added under the box to serve as little legs.

On the inside of the box another piece of designer paper was added to the bottom. One of the verses from the "Joyous Noel Precut set" was gold embossed and cut with a Nestability Eight die. It was attached with ScorTape.

Be sure to check out the Heartfelt Creations blog to see all the beautiful projects created by the designers.
