A Heartfelt Wish for Mothers Day

On By patriciamanhireIn Heartfelt Creations, Mother's Day4 Comments

Welcome back

I am on a roll with these beautiful Sunrise Lily stamps and dies from Hearttfelt Creation.  I have made some beautiful and vibrant flowers and a chance remark yesterday at my class led to me experimenting with some vellum.  I am thrilled how they turned out.

I embossed the flowers with white embossing ink on the vellum and then die cut the flowers out.  I coloured on the back of the flowers with copic markers and then shaped them with the same technique as used with cardstock.  I was pleasantly surprised how easy they were to shape and put together.  I love the softness of the colours and the white stamens looked beautiful inside the flowers.  Of course I had to add a little bling to the centres of the flowers.

My first card has been inspired by the very cute winking frog card from Heartfelt Creations.

My second card could be used for Mothers Day or any other special occasion.  I enjoy mixing and matching embossing effects.

Welcome back

Just a quick post showing you my creation using Heartfelt Creations Sunrise Lily flowers on a book card.  This is my first effort at using this svg file from Forever Memories that I have cut on my Cricut Explore and I will be changing a few things next time such as shaping the card a bit more and using foam dots for more dimension.

I am in the process of sourcing new inks as I am finding the CTMH inks fade very quickly in the sun in the window of the shop.

Happy Crafting.

Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms

Welcome back

Today I would like to feature some cards made with just two colours and the very versatile Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms die, as well as the Ornate Borders and Pocket Die from Heartfelt Creations.

The first card is a gatefold card and I have fastened the fold with a very small hook and loop from CTMH.  I haven’t put a sentiment on it as it can then be used for a number of different occasions.  If necessary, I can add the sentiment here in the shop to personalise it.

This next card is a pocket card featuring the beautiful dies and I have used a combination of cream and pistachio cardstock to make the flowers and the contrast to show of the lovely design of the dies.
