Heartfelt Creations Inspiration

Directions for Have a Beautiful Day 6 x 6 card:

Cut and layer card base as shown.  Ink the edges of the patterned papers, and use a distress tool to roughen the edges. Add ribbon to the left side of the card.  Cut the decorative label, and plain label.  Stamp the sentiment on the plain label.  Use the 3D Paint to color the edges of the diecut.  Mount to the decorative label using foam adhesives.  Stamp the Striped Sun Kissed Fleurs using watermark ink, and heat emboss with powder.  Die cut the images with the matching die.  Sponge on the Walnut Brown 3D Paint on the tips of the petals.  Shape the flower and attach to the lower right side of the card.  Stamp the leaves and cut with the corresponding die. Sponge the tips of the leaves with the Moss Green paint.

Scor-Pal and Paper Smooches Week

Hi everyone, This week the designers from Scor-pal and  Paper Smooches  have an awesome blog hop for you.  Be sure to stop by everyone's blog to see what they've been up to.  Scor-Pal will be giving away 3 prizes packages - each one includes a Paper Smooches stamp that we've shown this week as well as Scor-tape. Leave comments on the Scor-Pal blog this week for your chance to win!

  I received the Think Fast stamp set from Paper Smooches, and knew that it would be fun to make a french-fry box.

I used a template for the box, and although I didn't have to do any measuring/scoring, I still think it is so much easier to use my Scor-Pal to score the marked lines.

I also used my Scor-Pal to make my dimensional banner.  I cut a strip of paper 3/4" wide, stamped my sentiment, and scored 2 marks to the left and 2 marks to the right (each separated by 1/2").

May Arts Ribbon and Scor-Pal Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the May Arts Ribbon and Scor-Pal Blog Hop! I hope you have had a great time and have been inspired.  I am so blessed to be a member of both of these fantastic companies - so I know you have seen some amazing projects.  I hope you've left plenty of comments along the hop as well, for your chance to win Scor-Pals and a May Arts Ribbon Package (your choice of 3 spools!)

On to my project - I created folding card/mini album based on a tutorial by Natascha Banning on the Whiff of Joy blog.  She calls hers a card, but by the time I added all of the paper layers, and inside flaps, I think it's more like a mini.

For the base, cut cardstock 6" x 12" and score at 4 3/4" and 10 1/4".  Add your decorative papers, die cuts and handmade flowers.  Use a hole punch to punch holes to tie the ribbon through to hold the album shut.

For the inside of the album, you are going to make a small accordion feature for the right hand side.  Cut cardstock 4" x 12" and score at 4", and 8". Attach ribbon to the center back, using Scor-tape (this will wrap around the front to tie closed).  Decorate the according album.

I used a banner sticker extending off of the page (above), but didn't want the sticky part to show on the backside (below). So instead, I backed it with a wide grosgrain ribbon, so that it would be pretty from either direction.

Xyron and Bo Bunny Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of the Xyron and Bo Bunny hop!  To find out all of the details, please visit the Bo Bunny and Ain't She Crafty Blog to see a full list of each day's participants and to find out how to win some awesome prizes!

I worked with the Bo Bunny Key Lime papers, and decided to make a beach-themed plaque.  It's already got me in the mood for summer.

     

 Take chipboard letters, turn them upside down and run through Xyron 5” Creative Station.

  

 

 Press the adhesive coated paper firmly on the letters, remove the backing, and place on the        wrong side of patterned paper.

    

                                                      

      Trim the letters as close as possible with the scissors.  Use a hole punch to help start the holes in the enclosed areas.   Use a file along the chipboard to finish neatly.  

                                                       

Measure the wooden plaque, and cut patterned paper to size.  Run through the Xyron 5” Creative Station, and apply to plaque.

 

                                                                                           

     Stamp image onto lightly patterned paper.  Apply adhesive and add to plaque.    Use DIY Foam Adhesive to attach chevron banner.    Glue paper covered chipboard letters to the banner.

4   Make a paper Hibiscus or other tropical flower.  Glue to the plaque.  Cluster Bo Bunny Trinkets around the flower.
