Heartfelt Creations

I have been busy working on holiday projects for Heartfelt Creations.  I can't believe Christmas is around the corner.  I still have a lot to do around the house to get ready, but I am looking forward to time with family and friends over the holidays.

The first card I am sharing this week  for me is pretty simple since I didn't take the time to do any of my usual shading and coloring with Copics.  I haven't done much embossing, but I think I may start doing more because it was really fun and easy!

Instructions:
Card Size 5" x 7"
Start with a 7" x 10" piece of cream cardstock and score at the 5" mark to create a 5" x 7" card base.  Next with Old Paper Distress Ink stamp the corner flourish from HCPC 3436 Rye Grass Flourish PreCut Set in each corner.  Out of blue Bazzill Bling paper cut the Decorative Window Die and out of the dark blue Bazzill Bling paper cut the rectangular tag from the Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three.  Next on white Bazzill paper with clear embossing ink stamp the large Christmas tree from the HCPC 3432 Magnificent Spruce Trees PreCut Set and use gold embossing powder.  Heat set.  Then spray with Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist and heat set again.  Carefully cut tree out so white paper does not show beyond edge of inside frame of window frame die securing with 1/8" Scor-Tape as needed.  Adhere window frame to card front with Dries Clear Adhesive.  Apply navy blue Candi to top corners with pop dots.  Then with clear embossing ink stamp the "Oh holy night" sentiment from HCPC 3430 Shepherd Scene PreCut Set on white cardstock and use gold embossing powder.  Heat set.  Use a straight edge trimmer and cut to fit the tag and adhere to tag.  Next with adhesive apply gold ribbon and then the tag onto the bottom portion of the card.

The next project I did this week involved an angel I had around the house.  I added a few embellishments to her and created a music themed tag with Heartfelt Creation Products and created a beautiful gift idea.  I am entering my Silent Night Angel with Tag this week in the Our Craft Lounge Challenge #96 - Handmade Holiday .

Instructions:
Cut one 4 ¼” x 4 ¼” piece of cardstock out of dark rose cardstock and one 4 ¼” x 8 ½” piece of brown cardstock.  Score the 4 ¼” x 8 ½” cardstock at the 4 1/4” and the 6 3/8” measurement lines on the Scor-Pal or other scoring tool.  Prefold all score lines.  First fold the card in half, then at the second score line (6 3/8”) fold the opposite direction.  Place the card on the table with the 4 ¼” side down.  Add double sided tape to the 2 1/8”  x 4 ¼” section cardstock facing up. Now attach the precut 4 ¼” x 4 ¼” piece of cardstock to the base, lining it up to make a perfect square.  This creates the easel card base.  Cut a piece of light rose card stock 4" x 4" and a piece of brown cardstock 3 3/4" x 3 3/4".  Take the brown cardstock 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" square and with VersaMark Dazzle Champagne ink use the swirls stamp from the HCPC 3420 Holiday Dove PreCut Set and stamp several times. Mat brown cardstock on top of light rose cardstock and mat both on top of dark rose cardstock.  Next, color dove with Copics on Cryogen White cardstock and then cut out with HCD 715 Christmas Cheer Die.  Add Ranger Liquid Pearls to center of flowers and let dry.  With Spellbinders dies cut out oval in Cryogen White and appropriate scalloped oval from dark rose cardstock.  Stamp sentiment from HCPC 3421 Dove of Peace Precut Set on Cryogen White and then distress edges with Ranger Distress Ink - Old Paper.  Cut a piece of patterned paper cardstock 4 1/4" x 2 1/2" and attach to base of easel card.  On top of that with pop dots attach sentiment.  I use 2 layers of pop dots to make it stand up higher since this is what makes the easel card stand up.  Then with pop dots attach dove to front of card on brown cardstock.
