Heartfelt Creations - Special Launch

Good morning and welcome!

Today, we're launching beautiful stamen and 
Art Foam Paper. This is my first attempt at 
making foam flowers and I have to say...it's a lot of fun.

I designed a card with the beautiful classic petunias
using the new art foam and stamens.

For more tips on creating with the foam paper & stamens, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/Oma6ctVmUD0.

Instructions: Create a 6” x 6” white card base and cut a Melon Mambo mat layer 5 7/8” x 5/78”.  Trim one of the 6” x 6” panels from the Classic Petunia paper pad to 5 3/4” x 5 3/4”.  Adhere the piece of designer paper to the mat layer with dries clear adhesive and then adhere them to the card base. Add untrained transparent glitter all over the design on the paper. Cut another piece of designer paper 5 7/8” x 5 7/8” and adhere to the inside of the card. 

Cut the Window Box Elements from white pearl cardstock, Add dries clear adhesive to a sponge and sponge the beautiful decorative die cut with the glue and then sprinkle with Rajni Chawla’s Crystal Clear.

Stamp the sentiment on white pearl metallic cardstock with VersaMark, add magenta embossing powder, heat set and die cut using the Cut Mat Create 1B Die.  Ink the edges with Stazon Fuchsia Pink Ink. Adhere the sentiment to the decorative die as shown and add to the card using foam tape.

Stamp the Classic Petunias on the Art Foam Paper with StazOn Fuchsia Pink, die cut, color with the same ink pad, and add Rajni Chawl’s Crystal Clear. Heat and shape the petunias using the Heat It Craft Tool. Stamp the leaves with Forest Green StaZon ink, lightly color with the same ink, add crystal clear, heat and shape. Pierce the center of the flowers and add the Bridal Bouquet small stamen. (I add a little dries clear adhesive to the stem of the stamen and let it dry before I thread it through the flower. It’s so much easier this way.)  After threading the stamen, add a little hot glue underneath the flower and then trim the stem.

Adhere the foam Flowers and Leaves to the card as shown.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate you!

Have a beautiful day!

Heartfelt Creations - Young at Heart

Hi and welcome!
Today we are launching the brand new Young at Heart Collection!
I'm absolutely loving this beautiful retro collection...
after all, I'm an old classic myself. lol 

Inspired by a truck that the Bontrager family (Heartfelt Creations) has in their garden, I wanted my truck to be a planter.  Hope you enjoy a glimpse into the garden of my dreams. 

"Hit the open road with the new Young at Heart Collection by Heartfelt Creations! Retro in style, this fun and playful transportation themed assembling of designer papers, cling stamp sets and coordinating dies will have you reminiscing and reliving past road trips with family, taking in a flick at the local drive in, sitting at the late night hamburger joint with friends in your classic automobile, or soaring the open skies in a vintage airplane! The classic style paper collection is filled with far out transportation graphics from an era in time where life was carefree and the journey was wherever the open road would take you! Diamond checkered patterns, retro themed signs, beach scenes and late night diner script mixed with vintage vehicle graphics are enveloped in a groovy color palette of bright stoplight reds, yellows, and greens, with a hint of electric pinks, flashy teals and glowing orange tones. Two sets of nifty cling stamp sets with coordinating dies reveal high wheeled bicycles, old fashioned airplanes, classic coupes, vintage pick-up trucks as well as several nostalgic banners and signs! A third fun filled cling stamp set flaunts hip and amusing sentiments sporting 50’s era style script perfect for completing the styling of days gone by on all of your retro themed creations! So grab your main squeeze, make sure you’re the first one to call shotgun and travel along with us as we cruise back in time where we will always be forever young!  Warning: use of this collection may cause feelings of youthfulness, feeling carefree or a desire for adventure!"
