Susan's Garden Crepe Paper Poinsettias

 

 Aren't these poinsettias beautiful.  They were created with the Susan's Garden Poinsettia dies.  Can you guess what they are made out of?  I used crepe paper I purchased from Paper Mart.  The petals were die cut and glued to the calyx, then two rows glued together.  I did not shape the crepe paper petals until the petals dried.  You just have to give the crepe paper a little twist between your fingers, to shape each petal.  In the center of each flower, I glued in gold beads.  The poinsettia leaves, from this poinsettia set, were sponged with several shades of Distress Ink.  Under the flowers are the Impression Obsession die cut Pine Branch.. I added texture to the pine branch by adding Ranger Distress "Pine Needles" Embossing Powder. 

  

 I posted information at this LINK if you are interested in how I added texture to the pine branch.

 Last year I posted quite a few tutorials on how to use Susan's Garden Poinsettia dies for a variety of colored poinsettias.  You can check them out at this LINK.  If you want even more inspiration, you can go to this LINK to see Christmas cards I posted last year.

I hope I am getting you in the spirit of starting your Christmas cards so they will all be done before the holidays.

Merry Christmas Lantern

Have you started working on your Christmas Cards?  It seems a bit early, but I am looking forward to having all my cards ready to go before the busy holiday season.  I love the stamp used on this card.  It is from the Festive Candlelight PreCut Set by Heartfelt Creations.  It was stamped on water color paper.  I wanted to see if Copic markers would work on water color paper and was very pleased with the results.  I just lightly pressed on the marker so a lot of ink did not absorb into the paper.  I sponged on Scattered Straw Distress Ink over the image, sponged yellow ink around the flame, then added gold Stickles to the flame.   The stamped lantern was die cut using a scallop oval Nestability.  The background design paper is from the Heartfelt Creations Festive Christmas Paper Collection.  The stamped image was added to the Spellbinder Filigree Delight frame with dimensional glue dots.  

To add dimension to the design, I added a poinsettia created with the Petite Poinsettia PreCut Set.  It was placed over the poinsettia in the stamped design.  The sentiment (tag) was cut from the Festive Christmas Design Paper.  Along the outside edge, I added some large gold, flat backed beads with glue dots.

I forgot to take a picture of the inside of this card but I used the sentiment from the Festive Candlelight PreCut Set, and stamped the pretty poinsettia border below it.  

Today Heartfelt Creations has a lot of new cards/projects on their blog that I am sure you will want to check out.  Here is the LINK.

Another Christmas Card

Good Morning.  Before I am off for a busy day, I wanted to post another Christmas card designed with the new Heartfelt Creations Festive Christmas Collection.  I used one of the 6x6 inch card frames from the Festive Christmas Design Paper Collection for the background on this 6x6 card.  For the center of the empty frame, I added the stamped dove image from the Dove of Peace PreCut Set.  The image was stamped on water color paper, water colored, then cut out with scissors so it could be attached at the bottom of the frame with dimensional glue dots.    The flowers were stamped with the Petite Poinsettia PreCut Set, colored and small yellow beads glued to the center.  They were attached with glue dots.

 To complete the inside of the card, I used one of the sentiment panels from the Festive Christmas Design Paper Collection and added a narrow strip of design paper along the bottom edge.  I love creating beautiful, quick and easy cards, using this new Heartfelt Creations Christmas Collection.

Be sure to check out the beautiful cards created by the Heartfelt Creations Design Team at this LINK for a lot of great ideas for your Christmas cards.

Celebrate

I can't believe how fast this year is going by.  Christmas will be here before we know!  I have been busy creating my Christmas cards.  The new Heartfelt Creations Festive Christmas Collection is making it so easy to create beautiful cards.  For my card today,  I used one of the stamps from the "O Little Town PreCut Set".  The image was colored using water colors then die cut using the Spellbinders Captivating Squares dies.  For the background I used one of the card panels from the Festive Christmas Paper Collection and layered it on another piece of design paper from the same collection.  The sentiment is also from this design paper.  Heartfelt Creations has two Poinsettia stamp sets with matching dies.  For the flowers on this card, I used the Petite Poinsettia PreCut Set.  The flowers were water colored, die cut, shaped then attached with dimensional glue dots. 

Heartfelt Creations Design Paper Collection makes it so easy to complete even the inside of your cards. This is the perfect sentiment to go with the design on the front of the card.   I used the Cut Mat Create 2A die to die cut the matting for this sentiment and embossed it using the Crafter's Companion Dots embossing folder.

I will be posting other cards this week that I have designed with this beautiful collection.

For a lot more inspiration, be sure to go over to the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the cards prepared by the design team, and be sure to watch the video prepared by Emma Lou. I hope we can get you inspired to start working early on your Christmas cards!

Thinking of you

Today I have another pretty card created with the new Heartfelt Creations Cut Mat Create Paper Collection.  It is so nice to be able to create a lot of quick and easy cards for future use.  Don't you love the layering in the design of the card panels in the Heartfelt Creations  paper collection!.  I cut the card front out of the 12x12 inch design paper, mounted it on a piece of Navy Blue card stock and attached it to a white card.  The beautiful scripted sentiment is from the Summer Glory PreCut set.  To complete the card I  added Diamond Stickles to the center of each flower and a Navy Blue bow. 

Thank you for stopping by.

Heartfelt Creations Festive Christmas

 

I love this Christmas card!  It is always fun to start creating Christmas cards when you have new gorgeous stamps and design paper from Heartfelt Creations to work with. I love to get a head start on these cards before the busy holidays. 

Heartfelt Creations is ushering in the wonder, warmth and joy of the holiday season with the release of the Festive Christmas Collection. These stylish stamps and papers celebrate the jubilant spirit of Christmas with time-honored symbols of peace, hope and majesty.  A luxurious color palette of radiant red, traditional evergreen, and glimmering gold is layered with soft neutral backgrounds. A bounty of deluxe card fronts, artwork, pre-designed layouts and original sentiment panels allows you to create exquisite handcrafted projects in a jiffy, freeing up precious time during this busy season.  Hand drawn images are combined with heartwarming Christmas greetings and versatile backgrounds in six coordinating stamp sets.  Put the “merry” back in your Christmas crafting with this festive collection celebrating the most wonderful time of the year!  

This week, Emma Lou posted a video to demonstrate how to perfectly place a stamped image on an open card front using the Stamp Positioner, and reveals a clever method for creating two die cut layers at the same time

Christmas time is perfect for creating cards with beautiful jewel tones. I am so disappointed I could not get a good photo of this beautiful card.  No matter where I placed the card, the beautiful shinny gold just would not come out clear in the photo.  The Festive Ornaments PreCut Set, which is a beautiful background stamp, was perfect for me to use some "Gilding Gold Leaf" flakes.  I brushed the "Flake and Glitter" glue to the background stamp, stamped it on black card stock,  then applied Gilding Gold Flakes over the glue.  I watched a video at this LINK to see how to do this technique.  I love the shinny metallic finish.  The gilded piece was layered onto a piece of shinny gold card stock then onto a piece of the Heartfelt Creations Festive Christmas Paper.  The bottom layer is also a piece of gold card stock.  

To create the poinsettias, I stamped the Heartfelt Creations Christmas Poinsettias, using VersaMark onto a piece of shinny gold card stock; they were gold embossed. You use the Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur Die to die cut the poinsettias.  I used two different size die cuts for each of the three flowers.  Since the gilded flakes have a variety of colors, I used a mixture of colored beads for the center of the flowers.  Gold cording was placed behind each flower.  Down the right side of the card, I attached flat backed  gold beads. 

I love the elegance of this Christmas card.   I am looking forward to using this beautiful background stamp to create a variety of different cards.  

To get a lot more inspiration using the Festive Christmas Collection, go over to the Heartfelt Creations Blog.

Thanks A Bunch

Good Morning.  We have been without Internet Service which put me behind on some of my posts. We had a warning this morning that another big storm is to arrive this afternoon and our power may go off again.  I hope that is not true!   I have had fun working with the new Heartfelt Creations Cut Mat Create Collection.  This card was created using one of the card panels from the Paper Collection.  The pretty rose was stamped using the beautiful rose in the Classic Rose PreCut Set.  I used scissors to cut around, just the rose, and water colored the image.  It was shaped using the tools from the Flower Tool Kit, then attached it with dimensional glue dots to the center of the card.   The sentiment is from the Birds and Bloom PreCut Set.  A green gingham bow was added to complete this card.  

If you would like to create beautiful quick and easy cards with this collection, you can see the entire Cut Mat Create Collection at this Heartfelt Creations LINK.

Thank you for stopping by.  I'll have another card from this collection for you tomorrow.

Pretty White Posies

 Aren't the stamps and papers in the new Heartfelt Creations Cut Mat Create Collection beautiful!  For this card I used a piece of the design paper from this collection for the background.  The pretty image from the Summer Song PreCut Set was stamped using Archival black ink and watercolored.  It was die cut using the matching die from the Cut Mat Create 1B die set.  For the white matting behind the stamped image, I used the one size larger die from the Cut Mat Create 1A die set.  Behind this image, I added the Heartfelt Creations Decorative Lattice Swirl Die. I stamped three Posy Patch Flowers, colored them to match the design paper and the stamped image and die cut them using the Posy Patch dies.

Roses for You

I received a beautiful new Marianne Design Embossing Folder from a friend and thought some Susan's Garden roses would be a perfect bouquet for this pretty embossed background.

The Marianne Design Embossing Folder is DF3405.  At the bottom of the embossed background, I used one of the dies from the Marianne Design, Anja's Flowers, die set.  

The roses were created with the Susan's Garden Rose dies.  The roses were die cut using ivory card stock and colored with Susan's Garden Pan Pastels.  Rather than creating fully bloomed roses, I created large rose buds.  Behind the roses I added two Marianne Design LR0192,  Creatable leaves,  die cuts.

To complete the card, pearls and a silk bow were added.

I was recently asked to participate in Tombow’s newest program, Sticky U!   I love Tombow products and was excited to join in on the fun. I now have a new favorite adhesive called Tombow Xtreme High Performance Adhesive.  When I design, I always love to add a lot of dimensional items such as flowers that I create, many layers of die cuts and embellishments. Rather than just complete a card,  I put the new Xtreme Permanent Adhesive to the real test on this dimensional project to see if it would hold even the hydrangeas that are created on half a Styrofoam ball.

For my Sticky U Project I designed a home decor piece, which is mounted to a 12"x12" canvas frame.  The design paper in the background is from Webster's Pages.  The two small framed pieces and the "By the Sea" sentiment are from the Graphic 45 "By the Sea" 8x8 inch design paper pad. 

The Webster's Pages Design paper had beautiful hydrangea flowers around the lighthouse, so keeping with the theme, I created a variety of dimensional flowers using my Susan's Garden flower dies:  they include the Lilac, Hydrangea, and Blackeyed Susan flowers on the framed piece.  Next to the framed piece, there are other Susan's Garden flowers I have created.

There are a variety of other embellishments from my stash on this project, and all were attached using the Tombow Xtreme Adhesive. 

You can see other projects competed by designers participating in the Sticky U program on the Tombow Blog.

Thank you Tombow for inviting me to participate in this fun Sticky U program.

I was very excited to create my project today.  I used the new Heartfelt Creations "Cut Mat Create" Collection to decorate a gift box.  I loved using one of my all time favorite Heartfelt Creations flower sets and matching dies.  Some of the Paper Collection from this new collection includes the Posy Patch flowers.  I love that we can still use some of those first stamp sets and dies to coordinate with the newest designer paper collections.

To decorate the top of the box,  I stamped a variety of the smaller Posy Patch flowers using gray ink then used the matching Posy Patch dies to cut them out.  The edges of the flowers were sponged with light blue ink to match the flowers in the design paper.  To cover the top of the box I cut a piece of the Heartfelt Creations design paper to fit, then attached one of the 6x6" card panels from the Cut Mat Create Paper Collection in the center.  I added the butterflies using a stamp from the "Birds and Blooms PreCut Set".  The birthday sentiment is a stamp in the "Summer Glory PreCut Set".  Under the bow, I added one of the tags from the Cut Mat Create Paper Collection. 

The sides of the box were covered with Heartfelt Creations design paper.  I used two dies from the Cut Mat Design dies to create a frame for the pretty flower with swirls.  This flower is one of the dies in the Cut Mat Create 1A die set.  The flower and leaves were colored and shaped before attaching to the frame.  Above and below the die cut flower, I added the pretty stamped border from the "Vines and Blooms PreCut Set".   

On the front of the box, I added the black lace border from the Cut Mat Create Paper Collection, which is a flap to open the box.  On the bottom portion of the box, I die cut another Cut Mat Design Frame and added another tag from the Paper Collection.

Thank You

Today I have a pretty Thank You card for you created with the Heartfelt Creations Cut Mat Create Collection.  I used a panel from this new design paper collection and attached it to another solid piece of design paper, also from this collection.  The sentiment is from the Heartfelt Creations Summer Glory PreCut Set.  There are so many beautiful card fronts in this new collection for very quick and easy cards. 

Tomorrow I will be joining in on the Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team Blog Hop.  I hope you will come back to see my project.

Happy Birthday

I am a little late in posting this card.  We had one of the worst storms I have ever seen come through our area.  All of our town has been out of power and some people still don't have power. The rain/wind storm was so strong that it blew down hundred of trees, power lines, fences, and took off shingles.  We were worried our food would go bad but our power is back on and I think it was all OK.  I stopped by the grocery store in Spokane and they told me they were selling more dry ice, than they were groceries, because people are trying to save their cold/frozen food.  

This is another card I created with the new Heartfelt Creations Cut Mat Create Collection.  I love the 6x6 panels in the Paper Collection for quick and easy cards.  I used one of the same flowers I created with the Delicate Asters stamps and matching dies. To add some shimmer, I brushed the base of the petals with Violet Metallic 3D Paint.  The Metallic paint is so pretty with the micro beads added to the center of the flower. The sentiment is from the Summer Song PreCut Set. It was stamped on one of the Cut Mat Create die cuts and attached with dimensional glue dots.  Pearls and a bow were added to complete this card.

Heartfelt Creations is offering the entire Cut Mat Creation Collection for a $40 savings if you purchase the "I Want It All" collection.

Heartfelt Creations Cut Mat Create Collection

Every time a Heartfelt Creations new release comes out, I think that it is the best collection yet.  I guess I have to say I love them all.  The July release is the "Cut Mat Create Collection".  I started working with these beautiful stamps, dies and this gorgeous Design Paper Collection and found it hard to stop.  One of the things I love about the Heartfelt Creations paper collection, is that there are literally hundreds of beautiful cards/projects you can create without spending a lot of time if you need a quick and easy card or layout.  Of course, I love to coordinate the matching stamps and dies to dress up my cards/projects to make them special.

For this card I used one of the 6x6 inch card fronts from the design paper.  With the Cut Mat Design dies, you can cut out that center panel to pop it up on dimensionals.  I created dimensional flowers with the Delicate Asters stamps and Delicate Asters Dies. Today on the Heartfelt Creations Blog, Emma Lou has a new video showing how to create perfect little Aster buds.  You can see this video at this LINK. The flowers I created were stamped using gray ink and sponged with purple ink.  I added purple micro beads to the center of each flower.  They were attached with pop dots.   I used the Vines and Blooms PreCut Set to stamp the bird on the branch then fussy cut it to add at the top of the frame.  Part of the branch was cut off.  The bird and branch were colored with Copic markers.

This new Cut Mat Create collection has a great variety of sentiments.  I used the Sympathy stamp from the Birds and Bloom PreCut set.  The Heartfelt Creations panel was attached to a 6x6 inch card.  Around the edge of the frame I added pearls.

I will be posting the other cards I created with this collection throughout the week.  I also worked a a special project, using this collection, that I will post next week when we do the Alumni Design Team Blog Hop.  I hope you will be back to check them out!

Be sure to check out this new collection from Heartfelt Creations; I am sure you will love it as much as I do.   Go over the the Heartfelt Creations Blog for a lot of inspiration from the Design Team.

A Little Time for Golf

 

We recently returned from a wonderful trip with our son to the St. Eugene Resort in Cranbrook, Canada.  While there, one of the things we did was to spend several days golfing -- I only drove the golf cart and watched my husband, son and grandson golf.  The Resort is located in a breathtaking location in front of the gorgeous Fisher Peak and the Rocky Mountain Range and has a beautiful golf course where we saw a lot of wildlife, closeup,  including a Doe with her fawn.  Here is a picture of my husband in front of the Resort.  This trip was a belated Father's Day gift, which I got to enjoy too!  Here is a picture of the Resort where we stayed.

   My husband asked me to design a thank you card to send to our son.  I used the Memory Box, Golf Club Landscape and Mini Golf Cart dies to create a golfing scene.  Along with the Golf Club Landscape, I also used the Memory Box Country Landscape die to create a series of hills in the landscape.  The additional trees were die cut using the Impression Obsession, Fir Trees dies.  For the sky, I stamped the Impression Obsession, Clouds, Cover A Card background stamp.  I used Stormy Sky Distress Ink for the sky.

Tomorrow I will have a card created with the new Heartfelt Creations "Cut Mat Create Collection.  Hope you will come back to see this beautiful collection.

In the Garden of Life

 I have been on vacation and it was nice to get back to creating again.  Today I have a birthday card I designed for my friend Pat.  She loves birds so I designed this card using the Impression Obsession "Bird on Branch" die.  The small birds are the Marianne Design Birds (LR0206) dies (which is an older die set).  The birds and leaves were colored using the new Susan's Garden Pan Pastels. The doily used is the new Marianne Design (LR0317) die.  The Sentiment is from the "Garden Phrase Set" by Rubbernecker.  The flowers were created with the Susan's Garden Mini Daisy dies.  The flowers were shaped using the Susan's Garden Flower Tool Kit.  In the center I added some Yellow Flower Soft.

Have a nice weekend.

Vintage Floret Tutorial

 Today I am using the Heartfelt Creations Vintage Floret die to create a pretty vintage flower.  Back in March 2013 I posted a tutorial on how to create a red poppy with "wrinkled" petals but I had another request for this technique so have a new tutorial below.  Before doing the tutorial for this pretty Vintage Floret, I want to let you know how I created the background.  I used the Cuttlebug, Anna Griffin, Eyelet Strip embossing folders.  In this package you get one 5x7" folder plus one 1x7" embossing border.  The leaves were created with the Heartfelt Creations Classic Leaf Die.

TUTORIAL

 In this picture you can see the Heartfelt Creations Vintage Floret dies I used to die cut the petals. There are also matching stamp sets for this flower (links below). To create the delicate color on these flowers, I die cut the petals using white card stock.   In the center of each flower I sponged on Scattered Straw  Distress Ink and on the edges of the petals Spun Sugar Distress Ink. 

In order to blend out the sponged on color and to help shape the flowers, I spritzed the petals with water using a fine mist.  I am working on my Teflon Craft Mat.

Let the petals sit for about a minute to absorb the water. Next use a round tool (I am using a tool from the first Susan Tierney-Cockburn's Flower Tool Kit) to wrap the petal around, then using your thumb and forefinger, pinch the petal down to create "wrinkles".  Do this to each petal.

 While the flower is still damp, use a stylus to press down in the center to shape (cup) the flower.  I am working on the stylus and shaping mat from the new Susan's Garden Flower Tool Kit. 

 To assemble the flowers, I glued two of the same size petals together, alternating the petals -- doing this for all the different sizes.  I then glued one size smaller layer inside a one size larger set of petals.  You can layer as many layers as you want, depending on the fullness of the flower you want.  In the top of the picture, I added three layers.  In the lower flower, I just added two layers.  The completed flower is on the right in the picture.  For the center of the flower, I glued in some yellow Flower Soft.

 

 For the leaves, I used the Heartfelt Creations Classic Leaf Die.  I did not use the stamp sets this time to stamp the leaves since I did not stamp the flowers.  I have the link below for both the stamp sets and the dies for the Vintage Flowers and the Leaves.

 

The flourishing vine behind the large flower was die cut using the Heartfelt Creations Arianna Lace Dies.

I hope this tutorial gives you inspiration for creating yet another different type of flower with your dies.
