THE ROBIN'S NEST FLEUR COLLECTION

Today I want to share with you a couple cards that were featured on The Robin's Nest Blog that showcases the beautiful Fleur Cardstock line. For my first card I made the 5" x 7" card base out of Admiral Fleur Glitter Linen Cardstock and Cathedral Specialty Paper and then wrapped a gold ribbon, finishing it with a bow, around the top of the card front.

I used the sentiment from the Wedding Cut-Outs Cardstock and distressed it with Tattered Rose Distress Ink before matting it on Cathedral Specialty Paper and then I matted that on Wedgewood Glitter Cardstock that had been die cut with Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles die and added it to the card front. Using a leaves die from Heartfelt Creations, I die cut the leaves from Khaki Glitter Cardstock and added some flowers.  I then added Goldenberry Dew Drops and Grapes & Leaves Dew Drops around the sentiment.

For my next card I created the 6" x 6" card base out of the Pink Glitter Cardstock and Blue Fleur Cardstock. I wrapped white pleated ribbon around the top of the card front     I also used a cut out from the Wedding Cut-Outs Cardstock (highlighting a few words with a pink Copic marker) and matted it on Pink Glitter Cardstock and then adhered it to the card front with pop dots.  I then added Precious Girl Diamond Dew Drops, Daughter Mini Dew Drops and Petunia Dew Drops.

Have a great day!

HEARTFELT CREATIONS WEDNESDAY

Hello everyone!  Today  Heartfelt Creations is sharing on their Blog several of the Semi-Finalist projects, including my Steampunk Top Hat project.

My Top Hat features the All Geared Up Die and Paper Collection. To add to the Steampunk feel I also made a pocket watch using Heartfelt Creations Once Upon a Die and Numeral Clocks Set and added it to my top hat.

I used Spellbinders Grand Circles, Grand Decorative Circles One and Grand Stately Circles dies to create the actual Top Hat (complete step-by-step instructions are at the bottom of this post).  I used the All Geared Up Die to create the flowers and leaves.  I also used the leaves die from the Sweet Juliet Die.  I added some bling and chipboard hinges from Want2Scrap.  I created the chain links from the All Geared Up Die and used Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive to adhere it to the May Arts Ribbon.

Again, I want to thank all of you who voted for me.  I am so excited to be back on the Heartfelt Creations Design Team and I look forward to sharing my creations with you on Wednesdays on the Heartfelt Creations Blog and here on my blog.  

Make sure you stop by the Heartfelt Creations Blog to see all the wonderful new inspiration from the other Designers.  Have a great day!

Instructions:

5 1/4" Tall x 8" Wide at Brim

Begin by adhering two pieces of the same All Geared Up Paper together at one end with Scor-Tape to create a piece 6" wide x 17 1/4" long.  Next on each 17 1/4" long side score 1/2" from the edge and then make slits approximately every 1/4" - 1/2"  along each side up to the scored mark. For the top of the hat fold the scored and slit edges in towards the center on one side and then for the bottom of the hat fold the scored and slit edges out.  To create the brim of the hat using the same paper die cut the largest circle from Spellbinders Grand Circles.  Next with contrasting paper die cut the largest circle from the Grand Decorative Circles One.  Lay the two circles together securing the edges with a little bit of washi tape and then take a smaller size circle from the Grand Circle and die cut out the center to make a hole (save this smaller circles for the top of the hat).   Form the paper that has been slit and scored into a tube and insert into the hole of the brim and sandwich the slit edges between the Grand Decorative Circles One and the Grand Circles adhering as you go around the circle and adjust the slits as needed.  Secure side seam of hat with score tape adjusting as necessary.  Next with contrasting paper cut a Grand Stately Circle to fit the top of the hat.  Again sandwich the slit edges of the paper of the top of the hat between the leftover circle from the Grand Circles Die and the Grand Stately Circle adhering and adjusting the slits as necessary to make a nice circle.  Then adhere the circle that was cut out from the center of the brim of the hat to the top of the hat.  Paint Chipboard Hinges with Lime 3D Stamp Paint and then adhere to top of hat with Dries Clear Adhesive.  Add Iridescent Rhinestones to holes on Chipboard Hinges.  Add Silver Swirls Rhinestones to top of hat. Next using All Geared Up Paper die cut chain links from All Geared Up Die.  Slit each link to be able to connect them and then using Dries Clear Adhesive glue them onto the 1 1/2" ribbon.  Adhere ribbon around top hat using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.  Make a bow and add a Big Time Brad to the center of the bow and then adhere to back of top hat using Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.  Next to decorate the front of the top hat using All Geared Up Paper die cut leaves and gears using the All Geared Up Dies.  Using the Paper Blossoms Tool Kit and Molding Mat shape gears to create flowers.  Add Art Glitter with Dries Clear Adhesive to the flowers and  Rhinestones to the center of each flower.  In addition die cut a few more leaves using the leaf die from the Sweet Juliet Die.  Die cut a cog using the All Geared Up Die with the All Geared Up Paper and then paint it with Walnut Brown 3D Stamp Paint.  Also stamp the pocket watch and face with Memento Ink on Cryogen White Paper using the Numerical Clocks Set and color it with Copics.  Die cut the pocket watch and face image with the Once Upon a Time Die.  Spray the pocket watch with Crafters Companion Silver Glitter Spray & Sparkle.   Apply Glossy Accents to the watch face.  Once dry add a Tim Holtz Game Spinner to the center with a brad and adhere to pocket watch with a pop dot.  Add some of the die cut chain links to the pocket watch and finish by adding a Charm Pin Up Brad to the end of the chain.  Add all flowers, leaves, cog, pocket watch and chain, and Tim Holtz Gear & Sprocket to the front of the top hat as shown using Dries Clear Adhesive.
