Heartfelt Creations - Swinging Ornament

 Hi and welcome to my last post as a Heartfelt Creations Design Team member. 

My journey with Heartfelt Creations over the last 6 or 7 years (I lost count) has been one of the most treasured journeys of my life. I still pinch myself in disbelief that they chose me to go on this wondrous odyssey with them. It has been an honor and a privilege to be a part of this crafting family and I am eternally grateful to everyone at Heartfelt Creations. They have always made me feel like a family member, both on the Design Team and in the job I did for them behind the scenes. 

It is with a heavy heart that I say farewell to Heartfelt Creations but I will always treasure my memories here. I wish everyone at HC much success and happiness on their new journeys. You have all Blessed my life!!!

My card today is created using the beautiful Holiday Ornament Collection! I still can't believe that this is the last collection they will be releasing. How lucky are we though that we have so many of their collections to create with over the coming years. The collections are timeless and I know that I will create with them eternally. 

Instructions: Card size is 6 x 6”. Score and fold 12 x 6” Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper at 6” on the long side to create a tent fold card base. Cut Luxe Gold cardstock 2x to 5 7/8 x 5 7/8”. Cut sheets 8B (green) and sheet 11A (plaid) to 5 3/4 x 5 3/4” and ink the edges using Archival English Ivy ink. Trim the card front from sheet 1A to 5 1/8 x 5 1/8” and ink the edges using Vermillion ink. Using removable tape, adhere a gold mat layer, the green layer and the 5 1/8 square layer to the card front. Using the largest Circle Basics Large Die, diecut the circle from the center of the card front to create an aperture. It won’t cut through all the layers at once but the die will leave a nice impression so you can go back and cut through whatever layers didn’t cut the first time. Using the largest Eyelet Circle & Basics Small Die and the second largest Circle Basics Large Die, cut a border from Luxe Gold cardstock.

Stamp the ornament from the Noel Holiday Ornaments Cling Stamp Set on Luxe gold cardstock using VersaMark ink, cover with WOW Metallic Gold Sparkle Embossing glitter and heat set using the Heat it tool. Diecut using the coordinating die and diecut a second time from Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Adhere the layers together, add a gold cord to the top and adhere to the card front with hot glue in the center of the aperture. Adhere the gold, green and card front layers together and adhere to the card front. Adhere the eyelet gold border. Adhere the other gold layer behind the plaid layer and adhere to the inside of the card.

Stamp the Small and Large Festive Poinsettias on red cardstock using VersaMark ink, cover with WOW Metallic Gold Sparkle Embossing Glitter and heat set. Diecut using the coordinating dies and shape in the coordinating molds. Use the stylus to press down in the flower centers, offset two flowers and adhere together using hot glue to create two small and one medium flowers. Add a little hot glue to the flower centers add cover with Gold Gala Glitz. Stamp the image from the Holly Berry Cling Stamp set 2x on Luxe gold cardstock, cover with the WOW Embossing Glitter, heat set and diecut using the coordinating die. Use the deluxe Flower Shaping Kit to add shape to diecuts. Adhere the flowers and holly berry diecuts to the bottom left of the card front.

Stamp the ‘Merry Christmas’ sentiment from the Christmas Lantern Cling Stamp set on Luxe gold cardstock using VersaMark ink, cover with WOW Metallic Gold Sparkle Embossing glitter and heat set using the Heat it tool. Diecut using the coordinating die and then diecut 3 more times and adhere the layers together to create dimension. Adhere to the top of the card using dries clear adhesive.

Adhere the other designer paper to the other gold mat layer and adhere to the card front. Cut two tags from the paper collection using the smaller Tickets and Tags Die, ink the edges with Leaf Green ink and adhere to Luxe Gold cardstock tags cut using the larger tag die. Punch the holes in the tags, diecut the reinforcements for the holes from gold using the same die set, adhere the reinforcements to the tags and add Red satin cord. Trim a little off the bottom of the tags and adhere them to the right side of the card front as shown.

Create a 5 x 5” shadow box. Score a 7 x 11 1/2” piece of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper on the short side at 1/2”, 1”, 6” and 6 1/2”. Score the long side at 1/2”, 1”, 6” and 6 1/2”.

Cut paper from the paper collection sheet 8B 1x to 4 7/8 x 4 7 /8”, 4x to 3/8 x 4 7/8” and ink the edges with Leaf Green ink. Using removable tape, temporarily adhere the 4 7/8 x 4 7/8” designer paper to the front of the shadow box. Using the Cut Mat Create 2A die, cut the aperture in both the card front and the designer paper at the same time. Adhere the designer papers to the box using dries clear adhesive prior to assembling. Cut a 4 7/8 x 4 7/8” piece from the paper collection sheet 10A and adhere to the inside of the box. Finish folding at all score lines and adhere to form the shadow box.

Diecut a second time from white cardstock and adhere to the back of the stamped images for stability. Spray the images with Imagine Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray – Sparkle and let dry. Adhere the ornament images to the shadow box as pictured using dries clear adhesive and dimensional dots. 

Stamp the Small and Large Festive Poinsettias on red cardstock using VersaMark ink, cover with WOW Metallic Gold Sparkle Embossing Glitter and heat set. Diecut using the coordinating dies and shape in the coordinating molds.

Heartfelt Creations - A Christmas Lantern

 Hi and welcome!

Today I'm sharing another card with an aperture using the beautiful Festive Christmas Collection. 

Instructions: Card size is 5 x 7”. Score and fold 10 x 7” white cardstock at 5” on the long side to create card base. Cut Luxe Silver cardstock 2x at 4 7/8 x 6 7/8” and sheet 9B from the Festive Christmas Paper Collection 2x at 4 3/4 x 6 3/4”. Ink the edges of the designer papers with Real Red ink. Adhere one Luxe Silver piece and one designer paper to the card front using removable tape. Using the plain oval from the Simply Classic Oval Frame Die, cut an aperture in the card front. It will usually only cut through two of the layers but will leave a deep impression on the cardstock so you can remove the two mat layers, lay the die on the impression on the card base and run through the diecutting machine one more time. You will wind up with perfectly aligned layers to adhere permanently with dries clear adhesive. Adhere the second set of mat layers to the inside of the card. Using the third, fourth and fifth largest Simply Classic Oval Frame Dies, cut from white cardstock and Luxe Silver cardstock. Cut the corner pieces from the same set 2x each from white cardstock and 2x each from Luxe Silver cardstock. Sponge the white diecuts with dries clear adhesive and sprinkle with Rajni Chawla’s Crystal Clear adhesive. When dry, adhere to the silver diecuts slightly offset and adhere to the card front as shown using dimensional dots.

Stamp the image from the Christmas Lantern Cling Stamp set on heavy white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and color using Stampin’ Blends Markers – Light and Dark Granny Apple green, Light and Dark Real Red, Light and Dark Smokey Slate, Dark Daffodil Delight and Light So Saffron. Diecut using the coordinating die. Diecut again from white cardstock and from Luxe Silver Cardstock. Adhere the white behind the white for stability, then adhere the silver slightly offset. Lightly shape using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit and adhere to the card front over the aperture using hot glue.

Stamp the ‘Merry Christmas’ from the Christmas Holly Accents Cling Stamp Set on white cardstock using Real Red Ink and diecut using the coordinating die. Diecut again from white cardstock and adhere the layers together using dries clear adhesive. Adhere to the inside of the card so that it shows through the bottom of the opening.

Sponge the lantern and the sentiment with dries clear adhesive and sprinkle with Crystal Ultrafine Transparent glitter.
