Heartfelt Creations New Release - Sweet Juliet

We are pleased to introduce the Sweet Juliet Collection. This collection is inspired by the beauty of ancient rooms locked away and laden with antique treasures. These rooms are filled with yellow candlelight and dusty vases. Crinkly letters lay scattered around, turning crisp and fading more every day. A postcard lays covered in thick dust, forgotten in a dark corner. Wildflowers lay around, as crisp and crinkled as the beautiful wallpapers. Using these detailed floral and typographical stamps, complemented by black, gold and burgundy papers will enable you to create an outstanding classical creation.
Leave a comment on the Heartfelt Creations blog by October 15th and you will be eligible to win the entire collection valued at $150.

Stamp and cut the butterfly with the matching die - add color using the 3D stamp paint.  Stamp the sentiment with watermark ink and heat emboss.  Use a watermark pen to extend the lines of the stamp to fit the width of the card, and heat emboss.  Fussy cut and apply to card with foam adhesives.  Create a Sweet Juliet flower using 2 layers of the large die.  Assemble with a jeweled brad.  Glue a ribbon behind the flower and add to sentiment.

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.

Xyron and Core'Dinations Hop


I've got a fun project to share today as part of the Xyron and Core'dinations Blog Hop and hope that you will give it a try yourself.  Tussie Mussies are a Victorian inspired paper cone decoration. They are great for tucking in little treats or trinkets.

If you would like to try one for yourself, here are the simple steps:

1.  Cut paper 9 x 9". Make a small score mark or pinch in the bottom center, to help guide your rolling of the paper.

2.  Cut a contrasting 8 3/4" x 8 3/4" piece of paper (Black Magic Collection).  Dry emboss the corner to line the Tussie Mussie.  (I cut into the folding edge of my embossing folder slightly - 1.5",
 so that my design would line up in the corner like this)


3.  Sand the embossed area to reveal the colored core of the paper.  Trim the excess paper away (cut diagonally 2" below the embossed area).  Use the Xyron Mega Runner to add to the back "wall" of the pocket.

4.  For detailed die cuts, it is easier to run the paper through the Xyron Creative Station before making the cuts.  Cut a piece of paper close to the size of the die, run through the machine. Remove the top film, and proceed to die cut.  Remove the backing paper, and adhere to the front of the cone.

5.  Run the crocheted lace through the Xyron 1.5" Sticker Maker, and place around the opening of the cone.

6.  Add tissue paper filler inside the cone, and then decorate with flowers, diecuts, net, paper-mache mini pumpkin and any other goodies you would like to add. Also - tear strips of cardstock, and finger fold back and forth and add as a filler.

Xyron with Graphic 45 and Petaloo!


This week the ladies at Xyron have had so much fun hopping with Graphic 45 and Petaloo! What a fantastic combination of products!

It's really fun to decorate for Halloween, and I found a really cute paper mache witches' hat at the local craft store, and knew it would be awesome to use for this hop. I used Graphic 45's Steampunk Spells and flowers from Petaloo's Spring Darjeeling collection.  As soon as I finished my project, my seven year old nephew took off with it  -proclaiming that he was Harry Potter! So, I think I can count that as a success.

Since I used quite a few mixed media techniques for my Halloween card, I thought it would be easier to share a video with you, rather than having such a long blog post! I hope you enjoy it and will try some of the techniques out yourself.

Kromekote Papers from WorldWin

 Today I have a card to share with you using the new Kromekote papers from WorldWin.  In real life, these papers are so shiny and pretty - and no matter how I tried, I really could not capture this finish in my photo.
It really does remind me of shiny nail polish!  I used a mother of pearl and a deep red and combined them with the Elan Metallics for a very elegant card.  The sentiment was from Inspired by Stamping and was heat embossed with a black embossing powder.  The dies are all from Spellbinders.

I will have more Kromekote projects over the next several weeks, so be sure to stop back by.
