dream BIG {DT work for heartfelt creations}

hello scrappy friends!

it's wednesday again and i have a brand new HEARTFELT CREATIONS project for you.

this week i had the pleasure to work with a lovely picture of Emma Lou and Richard and here is what i came up with:

i used the following heartfelt creations products on this layout:

HCPC 3318 daisy patch flowers precut set

HCPC 3303 posy patch flowers precut set

HCPC 3407 botanical floral 2 precut set

HCPC 3321 believe precut set

HCPC 3435 feather grass flourish precut set

HCD 712 belle rose die

HCD 701 posy patch die

HCD 702 decorative butterfly border die

HCD 704 perfect petals die

HCD 703 daisy patch die 

i started by placing the balloon mask from PRIMA MARKETING and sprayed the cardstock with "FROST" glimmer mist.

using the large flourish from HC feather grass flourish precut set and colorbox brown ink i created the frame along the rim, pierced the zig-zag pattern with sew easy and stitched it with green tread.

i cut a 10.5 x 15.5 cm rectangle from white cardstock and another one – 11 x 16 cm from brown cardstock; glued them together and adhered the picture on top of the white cardstock. using HC perfect petals die i cut three decorative corners and stuck them under my photo, leaving the top left corner free. i cut two stripes with the decorative border from HC decorative butterfly border Die and added them under the picture too.

the two big flourishes with leaves are made with HC belle rose die and white pen. i stamped various flowers from HC daisy patch flowers set, HC posy patch flowers set

and HC botanical floral 2 set on different pattern papers from K & Company 12”x 12” paper pad “Girl Scouts”; cut them with my CUTTLEBUG and the matching HC cutting dies; embossed the individual petals and shaped them by hand. i added a button to the middle and stitched the different layers together. i embellished the flourishes with rhinestones and buttons.

for the title – i used brown cardstock alphabet stickers. i cut two different colours butterflies using the HC decorative butterfly border die, stitched them together; added some glitter glue and rhinestones.

i hope you enjoyed my post. i'll be back next wednesday with more HC projects! 

have a wonderful week!

heartfelt creations products used on this project

HCD 712 bella rose die

HCD 701 posy patch die

HCD 702 decorative butterfly border die

HCD 713 decorative lace border die

HCD 718 decorative chateau gate die

for the background i used the corner boutique paper from pink paislee “vintage vogue” collection. with SEW EASY i pierced two straight lines with holes on the edge of the paper, inked the edges with dark purple ink and used glimmer mist “mardi grass” to create the spatters on the background paper. i used the swirl from HC palace entry precut set to stamp the corners with colorbox pink ink.

i used the eau de perfume paper to create the layers under the picture – each layer is with 0.5 cm bigger than the previous one. using the HC decorative lace border die i cut two laces from the beauty parlor paper, divide d the laces through the middle and arranged them around my picture. the small green lace is made with HC decorative butterfly border die, adhere it to a piece of purple ribbon and add it on the top of the picture. i added two purple heart-shaped buttons on the left side.

the large flower – with HC flora grande 2 precut set i stamped various sizes blossoms on pattern papers with colorbox purple ink. then i punched a few starburst flakes and shaped the different layers. i added 3d foam tape under some of the petals to create extra dimension. for a step-by-step tutorial on how to create the large flower, click HERE.

the small flowers – i stamped various sizes flowers with HC posy patch flowers precut set on a double sided paper. i cut them out with HC posy patch die, embossed the individual petals, shaped them by hand and attached the different layers with a brad in the middle.

with HC belle rose die i cut two green flourishes with leaves and begin arranging the different elements around the picture. then i stamped a sentiment from HC inspire me sentiments precut set with colorbox light brown ink under the flourishes.

i stamped the second sentiment on a piece of pinkish pattern paper. with the smallest flourish from HC feather grass flourish precut set and light purple ink i created the frame around the sentiment, inked the edges with darker ink and adhered the label to a window die cut made with HC decorative chateau gate die.

i used basic grey "cappella" cardstock alphabet stickers for the title.

i hope you enjoyed today's post!

baptism card {DT work for HEARTFELT CREATIONS}

hello lovely friends,

it's wednesday again and it is time for another HEARTFELT CREATIONS project from me. this week i've prepared a card, using the HC newest release "chateau gate collection".

i used the following heartfelt products on this project:

HCPC 3310 trust in the lord precut set

HCPC 3442 grand portal precut set

HCPC 3445 mystic hideaways precut set

HCPC 3446 doorway trimmings precut set

HCPC 3435 feather grass flourish precut set

HCPC 3303 posy patch flowers precut set

HCD 718 decorative chateau gate die

HCD 701 posy patch die

begin by creating the basis for your card. cut a rectangle 18 x 26 cm from white cardstock, fold it in two and stamp the sentiment with colorbox silver ink on the inside of your card. using the large flourish from HC feather grass flourish set create the silver frame around it. let it dry.

from silver cardstock cut a 12 x 17 cm large rectangle and adhere to the base. cut another rectangle {11,5 x 16,5 cm} from white cardstock. draw the church building by hand. when it is ready, outline it with silver marker. stamp the background scenery from the HC mystic hideaways set carefully around the building. with the large flourish from HC feather grass flourish set create the silver frame. paint the sky with a blue COPIC CIAO marker. 

stamp the wooden portal from HC grand portal set on white cardstock. cut it with HC decorative chateau gate die and die cutting machine. stamp the wooden portal on the back side of your die, colour the swirls with a brown copic ciao marker and cut the gate open. adhere the gate on top of your church using 3d double-sided tape to create dimension. cut the area inside the gate open, so you can see the silver cardstock through the gate. 

stamp two of the doorway trimmings from HC doorway trimmings set and colour them with copic ciao markers. place them around the gate. stamp few of the smallest flowers from HC posy patch flowers set on pink cardstock. cut them by using HC posy patch die and a die cutting machine, emboss the petals and add a white pearl in the middle. arrange them around the doorway trimmings. 

glue the cross embellishment on the roof of the church and your card is complete.

have a wonderful day!

it includes four constructed sheep, wool for the sheep, a wolf, a buildable die, and rule and instruction booklets. and hours endless FUN with my children and hubby!

so, if you are in a toy shop, don't miss the chance to get one box for yourself!
