Heartfelt Creations_Mini Clip Board

Today I have another gift set made with Heartfelt Creations new Ornamental Light Collection.  This one started out with a Formica sample.  We recently did some remodeling and I have lots of these little chipboard pieces.  I just knew there had to be something I could do with them, LOL!

And this is what it looks like now, front and back.  You will find the product list and directions below.

After I made the clip board, I decided it needed a gift bag. I used a white paper bag and edged it with Black Soot Distress Ink.  I folded the flap up to create a pocket, edging it with some cotton lace before adding the red line tape along the sides.  I cut black card stock and some Frosty Blanket DP to layer on the front and then added the pom pom trim and seam binding.  The lanterns were stamped and colored with Creative Inspirations Paint.  I also stamped and die cut some pine branches and then added some bells and pearl swirls.  The sentiment was stamped on one of the journal cards that comes with the Frosty Blanket paper. 

And, as promised, here are the directions for the clip board.

Noel

Today I used one of the beautiful stamps from Heartfelt Creations new Ornamental Light Collection.  This stamp is called 'Festive Yuletide Doorway'.  I cut 3 pieces of paper, 1" sq., 3"sq., and 6"sq. I then centered them on top of each other and then stamped the design.  This leaves a little bit of a gap around each layer but that is covered up when you add the matting.  Each layer is added with pop dots.  The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils.  I used a Marvy snow marker and some glitter and then added the chipboard 'Noel', which I bought a long time ago and never used.

Thank you so much for visiting and have a blessed day!

Heartfelt Creations_A Gift

Today is Heartfelt Creations Wednesday and I would like to share an idea for some quick and easy cards.  In each of Heartfelt Creations paper packs there is a sheet of twelve beautifully designed 3" x 4" tags.  I simply stamped and embossed a sentiment, added a punched border on one side and stitched some gold embroidery floss through the holes (love punches with holes!), added some glitter, layered on the card and then added a bow.  Quick and beautiful!

These would make beautiful gift sets; I'm especially thinking of a dear, sweet widow lady who lives in a nursing home.

I made a gift bag to place them in, again using one of the tags for the front.

You'll find a list of products and the directions below.

Sweet Candy Christmas

This was supposed to be a quick card until I tried to find some accent papers to go with this DP.  Must be why I've had this paper in my stash for so long, LOL!  I finally settled on the white and pink and decided it was going to have to do. 

The sweet little image is from Sweet and Sassy Stamps (they're called Winter Friends) and is colored with Prismacolor pencils.  The scarf and hat are paper pieced.  I used a Marvy Snow Pen and lots of Art Glitter in shell white.  The lollipop doesn't look that prominent IRL but I still wish I would have used a different section of paper.

The paper is from House-Mouse Designs and is called Candy on Frosting Stripes.

Heartfelt Creations_Harvest Time

Today is Heartfelt Creations Wednesday and I had so much fun making this altered CD/recipe card. I used almost all of the stamps in the new Classic Editions set.  I love the beautiful fall theme with the matching papers and dies.  You can find the directions for the front of the card below.

For the inside I added recipe cards with some of my fav fall recipes.  The recipes cards were printed from the computer and then the images were stamped and colored.  I used the MS Cherish punch on one edge.

This is a pic from our orchard quite a few years ago.  I've always loved this picture and it was perfect for this project.  The basket was stamped on kraft card stock and then added with pop dots.  The bows were made from the threads I had left over from unraveling the burlap.

The images were stamped with Walnut Distress ink and colored with Distress inks and Prismacolor pencils.

Thank you so much for visiting and have a blessed day!
