Birthday Blessings Instructions: For this card take any shape you like and use 3 different sizes for the papers. The base is just brown cardstock, the middle paper was made using the self adhesive aluminum tape smeared with black acrylic paint (then wipe it off with a tissue). The smallest piece is from the All Geared Up Paper Collection. To create the metallic look, I used self adhesive aluminum tape again on cardstock (smeared with black acrylic paint, then wipe it off with a tissue) then I die cut several cogs and the chains from the All Geared Up Die and sunflowers from the Classic Sunflower Die. I used several colors from the viva 3d stamp to create that old rusty look. I just used my fingers to smear the dies. The chains were put together by making a small cut and then glued them. Choose 2 small die cuts from the Geared Collection and ink the edges. Now you can decorate your card with all the nice "metallic" parts you just created :)

Sunflower Birthday Presents Card

Other Products: Vintage photo distress ink, brown cs, glue, hot glue gun, black memento ink, bandage, lace, rhinestones, pearlstring, ribbon, emboss and frantage powder, heat gun, 3d foam pads.

Instructions: This time I have created a lovely "presents card". The idea came from this Dutch site here. I know the sizes are in centimeters, but you can save the templates to your computer and just print them out in any size you want. It is nothing more than a basic easel card. I made the easel cards from brown cardstock and decorated with the beautiful Classic Sunflower Collection papers. The little presents were also made from brown cardstock and decorated with the design paper. I have glued the present that is on top of the card otherwise it might fall off:) and keep in mind you cannot fold this card.

Once you have adhered the design paper, you can start decorating your card, glue the presents where ever you want them. I used some die cuts and adhered them with tiny foam pads to create some depth. The little butterfly on the right has been cut out from the design paper. On the yellow sunflower I used a little bit of viva 3d paint stamp (hey I just bought it last week so I am carefully starting to play with it:)).

Heartfelt Creations Inspiration: Christmas Flower Wreath

This week I created a Christmas Flower Wreath with the beautiful Festive Christmas Collection:

Products Used:
Festive Christmas Paper Collection
Christmas Poinsettia PreCut Set
Layered Poinsettia Shapeabilities
Ornamental Add On Die
Cut Mat Create 1B Die
Cut Mat Create 1A Die
Arianna Lace Die

Project Instructions:

Other Products: Vintage photo distress ink, brown, green cardstock, glue, hot glue gun, black memento ink, lace, flatback pearls, staple machine, ribbon, lace, beads.

Instructions: Click here for a larger project image. For this Christmas flower wreath you need green cardstock and design paper. Cut 8 petals out of the green cardstock and 8 petals out of design paper (See instruction photo here.) Instead of using the green cardstock you can of course also use the brown hardboard. Fold the design paper as you can see on the photo and hold them together with a staple. The petals on the photo are in centimeters (11 x 6,6 cm) but in inches it is about 5" x 3" but you can make them any size you want of course :)) I also cut out 2 circles of hardboard (for the front and back) so I can layer and glue the petals on it and yes as always I inked all the edges first :P. Once you have glued all the petals you can add the circle in the center of the flower. I also decorated the center with design paper before adding the arianna blooms doily and poinsettia. At the bottom of the wreath I pinched a hole and created the bead chain. The bow was created with all sorts of materials with the mini bowdabra. Now you can start decorating your wreath with the beautiful swirlys from the cut mat and create collection and the die cuts from the Festive Christmas Collection. I also used some bandage in between and some feathers.

Cut out a "window" using one of the spellbinder dies, also use the fancy lattice to place behind the "window" now take another piece of design paper fitting the inside of the card die cut the same window from the spellbinders die. Take another some smaller piece of the design paper and make place it on the back of the card. It is now time to decorate the card. I was in the mood for a bit of laughter using the cute wooden moose :P ,so I even gave him a red nose using a flatback pearl :P and a wobble eye. The flowers were created with the Layered Poinsettia Shapeabilities. I cut them out of the design paper and only used the small flower die. The tiny flowers have 4 layers. Under the window I also placed a tiny "windowsill".
