Thank You - Another Create A Card Die From Crafter's Companion

Last week, Crafter's Companion released the latest Create-a-Card Dies, with sentiments that make card making elegant and easy.  After I die cut my image, I applied adhesive with my Xyron Creative Station, and glittered the surface.  I made a presentation envelope to house the card - and it fits just perfectly!

Warmest Wishes - Heartfelt Creations Layout




I've got a layout to share with you today that wraps up Heartfelt Creations' Season of Joy release.  I've had so much fun creating projects using this collection, but I have to say this one is my favorite! I added loads of details, which I will share with you today.

Chipboard circle, painted with 3D Metallic Stamp paint, then stamped with holly branches. Also check out the die-cut doily that was created using the Decorative corner dies.



Poinsettias were colored gold with mists and shaped while wet.

 

Pine cones add texture to the flower clusters. They were stamped, fussy cut and glittered.

The sentiment stamp serves as a title for the layout.

12 x 12 Layout:
Ink all of the edges of the patterned papers with brown ink, and distress the edges.  Layer the papers as shown, using foam adhesives. Cut a large open circle from chipboard.  Paint with 3D Stamp paint.  Ink the edges.  Stamp the Holly Swirls randomly on the circle. Layer the other panels as shown.  Cut the doily using the Decorative Blossom Corner die (after each cut, line up the edges, until you have made four cuts and have completed the doily). Place the photo over the doily. Tuck a small portion of the Banner and Trees die (the lace tree) under the left edge of the photo. Stamp the sentiment and cut using a circle die. Stamp and cut the flowers using the Christmas Poinsettia stamp and the Sun Kissed Fleur die.  Spritz with mists and shape while wet.  Assemble the flowers. Add a little glitter and a dew drop to the center of each. Stamp the pinecones and hand cut.  Trace the design using the metal tip on the dries clear adhesive and add ultrafine glitter.  Arrange the floral spray along the bottom of the chipboard circle.  Add branches from the Cherry Blossoms die set, and place the pinecones at each end.

Bring on the Glitter!

 
Happy Labor Day, to my USA friends!  I hope you have gotten to enjoy a nice, long holiday weekend - and perhaps had a little time for crafting.  This weekend also marks the end of summer, and the welcome to fall...so I thought it would be appropriate to share a pumpkin card with you.
 
As you might suspect, I am now completely covered in glitter (as well as my studio floor!). But, I'm going to tell you how I created this sparkly goodness.
 
I used the Fall Harvest One die from Cheery Lynn Designs, as the focal point of this card.  I cut it from orange cardstock.  Now, for the magical part....I cut a piece of black cardstock, large enough for a border and I cut a piece of Scor-Pal tape(sheet size), the same size as my pumpkins.
 
 
I removed one side of the backing from the Scor-tape and centered it on the black paper.  Then remove the top layer and apply the pumpkins. I started coloring the pumpkins by sprinkling ultra-fine glitter in those areas.I would burnish the glitter to the Scor-Tape with my finger, and then flip the card straight over to remove the excess glitter.  Next. I colored the leaves in the same manner, and finally the background.  If you find that you have the wrong color in an area, you can put a thin area of Art Glitter Dries Clear adhesive (using the fine metal tip), and reapply the correct glitter color.

 
I finished the card with a border from the Celtic Whimsey.
 
We really appreciated all of the fabulous entries we had last week, and hope that you will join us again  at Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge. This week we want you to stitch it up (real or faux). Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Me at 45


The challenge this month at Once Upon a Sketch has to do with birthdays, and many of their DT chose to highlight their current age - and I thought that was a great idea.  I wrote about who I am at 45 on a tag, that slides into a pocket underneath my Horizon Coved Rectangle die cut.  You can see the journaling card pulled out in the picture below.
