CHRISTMAS BLOG HOP WITH THE ROBINS NEST

Blog HOP



Welcome to my blog, Candy's Creations, and the Christmas Blog Hop with The Robin's Nest!  Please leave me a comment (I love and appreciate comments so much!), become a follower of my blog and become a follower of The Robin's Nest Blog for a chance to win a bottle of The Robin's Nest Christmas Dew Drops.  What a great and generous prize from The Robin's NestOne winner will be chosen from each blog to win!


For my project today I created a Christmas Card with the beautiful design papers from The Robin's Nest.  


To create this 6" x 6" side opening card I began by using the green side of the Black and White Pinetree Glitter Cardstock and adhered a 6" square piece to the card base.  Next I added a 5 3/4" square piece of the Black and White Pinetree Glitter Cardstock and on top of that a 5 1/2" square piece of Red Classic Swirl Glitter Cardstock.  Then I wrapped a piece of white ribbon around the center of the card front and finished with a bow at the top.  


Next I die cut another piece of the green side of the Black and White Pinetree Glitter Cardstock with the Floral Ovals Die.  I added large Metallic Gold Dew Drops from the Red/Gold/Silver Metallic Dew Drops and Mini Metallic Gold Dew Drops from the Ornament Mini Dew Drops around the Floral Oval die cut.  I stamped the candle image on Cryogen White Paper that had been die cut with an oval and colored it with Copics.  I added Diamond Stickles to the candle and added Mini Red Dew Drops from the Ornament Mini Dew Drops to the holly berries in the colored image with Dries Clear Adhesive. I then added the entire decorated oval to the card front with pop dots.  Then using the Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia Die and Red Classic Swirl Glitter Cardstock I created the poinsettia and added a Goldenberry Dew Drop to the center.  With the Hunter Green with Gold Glitter Cardstock stamp and die cut the holly leaves and add Red Metallic Dew Drops from the Red/Gold/Silver Metallic Dew Drops for the berries.  Adhere the holly leaves to the image with Dries Clear Adhesive. 


Finally I added Ace of Diamond Dew Drops to the bottom left corner.

HEARTFELT CREATIONS ROMANTIQUE GARDEN COLLECTION

Happy Black Friday!  Heartfelt Creations is pleased to release its Romantique Garden Collection.  This is what Heartfelt Creations says about their newest release:
"Love is in full bloom with the Romantique Garden collection from Heartfelt Creations. A romantic symphony composed in subtle shades of pink, fuchsia, green, cream and charcoal harmonizes beautifully with picturesque images of dainty hummingbirds, devoted love birds, graceful swans and delicate bleeding heart bushes. Ornate ironwork backgrounds are in perfect harmony with layered elements of vintage sheet music, lace, flowing handwriting, scrollwork, florals, stripes and flourishes. Six hand drawn stamp sets capture the idyllic beauty of a peaceful garden where swans glide across the surface of a glassy lake, nesting lovebirds are wreathed in flowers, and hummingbirds sip nectar from blossom laden branches of exquisite beauty. The coordinating die cuts feature elegant swirled stems, a graduated set of bleeding heart blossoms and a majestic pair of swimming swans. Dreamy and idyllic, uplifting and inspiring, romantic and moving as a masterfully scored concerto, this enchanting collection is a celebration of love and life amidst the extraordinary beauty of nature."
First, I created a Vintage Best Wishes Tag featuring the beautiful Romantique Garden Paper Collection.


This tag uses the Romantique Wings PreCut Set and also the bleeding hearts stamp from the Heartthrob PreCut Set and the coordinating Romantique Garden Die.


For my next project, I created a card features the Home is Where the Heart is PreCut Set colored with Copics.

FRIENDS AND WINE LAYOUT

Today I am sharing with you my Friends and Wine scrapbook layout I designed with Want2Scrap products and 12" x 12" paper and 3D stickers from our cross promotional partner, Paper House Production. Paper House and Want2Scrap products work so perfectly together, that it  made this layout of  a recent weekend trip with friends to Michigan come together quickly and beautifully. I started with a piece of Paper House Friends & Wine 12" Scrapbook Paper and simply matted my pictures on coordinating Bazzill cardstock.






With a sponge brush I added Violet Viva Decor 3D Stamp Paint to the Tasting - Fancy Chipboard Word and then adhered it with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive.  I added more Paper House Wine 3D Stickers and Silver/Clear Rhinestones.  Then I added Maxxi Girl Swirls - Silver Rhinestone to the page.



Finally, I added the "Wine Tasting" and wine bottles from the Paper House Wine 3D Stickers and a few more Silver/Clear Rhinestones.


I would love for you to become a follower of my blog Candy's Creations.  Have a great day!

CHRISTMAS CARDS WITH THE ROBIN'S NEST

The Robin's Nest's Christmas Collection paper quickly and easily makes some really cute Christmas Cards.  Today I am sharing two cards that I created that were featured on The Robin's Nest Blog. The first 6" x 6" card I made uses Cindy Lou Swirl Glitter Cardstock and Cindy Lou Presents Cardstock for its card base.



I then used Heartfelt Creations Trees Die with the Lime Green Glitter Cardstock to die cut a Christmas tree and then I made the trunk out of Brown Mini Dew Drops from the Black Forest Mini Dew Drops and decorated the tree with Ornament Mini Dew Drops and Goldenberry Dew Drops.  I used a star from the Halloween Chipboard set for the top of the tree.


I stamped the sentiment on White Glitter Cardstock that had been cut with an Classic Ovals Die and matted it on the green part of the cardstock from the Cindy Lou Swirl Glitter Cardstock that had been die cut with the Lacey Ovals Die.  I finished by adding a few more Dew Drops to the bottom corner of the card.



For my next card I matted a piece of Cindy Lou Presents Cardstock onto Cindy Lou Dot Glitter Cardstock to create the 6" x 6" card base.  On the presents on the design paper I added Gold & Stardust Stickles for a little extra sparkle.  I then stamped the sentiment on White Glitter Cardstock that had been die cut with the Classic Ovals Die and matted it on Cindy Lou Swirl Glitter Cardstock that had been die cut with a Scalloped Ovals Die.  I added that to the card front with pop dots.  I then added some Christmas Dew Drops and Metallic Gold Dew Drops to the bottom corner.




I hope you enjoyed my fun Christmas cards today.  Have a great day!

JEANS POCKET CARD WITH HEARTFELT CREATIONS

Hi everyone!  I am back today to share another card that I created with the beautiful Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower Collection. This collection includes some cute denim paper and I just could not resist detail cutting out the jeans pocket and creating a sweet card with it.




Of course I need to put something in the pocket, so I die cut a few of the tags from the design paper using the HCD 745 Luggage and Tags Die and tied them up with some twine and tucked them in the pocket.  


Have a great day!

HEARTFELT CREATIONS ENCOURAGEMENT CARD

Good Morning!  It's Wednesday and that means it's time for me to share another card I created for Heartfelt Creations.  I designed this card using the All Geared Up Collection.  It seems like I know several people who are struggling with cancer right now and this card would be a perfect encouragement card to send to someone dealing with an illness.  This paper collection has some great encouraging words to use in card making.
