Other Products: Vintage photo distress ink, glue, hot glue gun, black memento ink, bandage, dewdrops, embossing powder, heat gun, rubb n buff gold and silver, from Creative Embellishments: STEAMPUNK GEAR CLOCK 2, PHOTO OR PAGE CORNERS SET 2.

Cut a piece of the design paper somewhat smaller than the 2 pieces and ink the edges. Adhere the layers of paper and add some bandage underneath it. The embellishments from Creative Embellishments have been embossed with emboss powder using the heat gun, then I added some rubb and buff on it for the gold and silver effect. Cut and emboss some flowers from the Classic Sunflower Precut Set. I used dewdrops for the centers of the flowers. Pick one of the small die cuts and place it next to the flower below.

Choose one of the beautiful die cuts and distress and ink the edges. Add a nice piece of ribbon almost on the bottom of your card. The embellishments have been embossed with embossing powder and frantage powder. Cut some tiny flowers from the Arianna blooms die, this time I used white ink. I used acrylic flowers for the center of the flowers. Now you can place it all together and adhere everything on your card.

Another Sunny DT project for Heartfelt Creations this week :))

I had a lot of fun creating this easel card :D









Project Instructions:
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:)).

Sunflower Blooming BirdhouseFor decorating this birdhouse I used lace, flatback pearls and rhinestones for the sparkley effect around the whole :) Die cut several flowers from the Classic Sunflower Die and create some flowers.

Heartfelt Creations Inspiration: Christmas Flower Wreath

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






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.
