Click HERE to see the introduction of this collection.

Please note: All the stamping is done with gold embossing powder. 

The size of the photos used, 2 x 6.5 cm x 4.9 cm and 2 x 3.8 cm circles. 

#Step 1: Make the 3 tags from the cardboard box. Cut to 26.3 cm x 13.2 cm. Tear away a little of the top layer. 

I use the Tonic guillotine to cut my cardboard...this works for me.

 You can see the measurements of the tag. I used the Dutch Doobadoo tag as a base for this tag.

Cut x3

#Step 2: Apply gesso and leave to dry. 

You can see I have taken away some of the cardboard top. I used a small knife with a pointed tip to tear the layer away.

I cut a cleaning sponge in 1/2 to apply the gesso...it's a throw away...

#Step 3: Cut the 2 matting paper layers to 1 cm smaller than the tag base. Distress the edges. 

Below is what it will look like when you put it all together. But first do step 4 

#Step 4: Taking the top matting layer, gold emboss in places with the coral boarder stamp.

#Step 5: Adhere all layers to the tag base with foam glue dots or tape. 

Backing all the layers with the foam tape before adhering to the cardboard tag base.

#Step 6: Cut the photos to size and back with smaller sized cardboard to give them height when gluing down. 

Make the porthole by cutting extras from the foam sheet. I used 2 layers. If you do not have foam sheet, you can cut extra shapes from cardstock (you need to cut at least 4-6 extra layers) Adhere together.

#Step 7: Stamp, color and die cut all the flowers and elements. Note: the pink sea urchins on the bottom left tag have been made using the jellyfish stamp and die set. The tentacles have been trimmed off and used upside down., these can be used as sea grass else where or on another project. The same die has been used to cut the sentiment, cutting away the tentacles. Use the flower shaping kit to bring shape to all the elements.

#Step 8: Make 2 holes in the side of the tags for the ribbon. Adhere first the porthole then the photos to the tags. Then you can begin to have fun arranging all the elements already made. All has been adhered with foam dots or the hot glue gun.

To finish add the pearls to the flower centers and here and there where needed. When all is secure and dry, tie together with the ribbon and add stickles to the flowers and the elements.

See hoe the flowers are arranged between and under the porthole...so you must m,ale this high enough to carry this.Use extra cardboard pieces to give the flowers hight if needed.

Use the jellyfish die to cut the sentiment / title, just cut away the tentacle port of the die cut.

Heartfelt Creations collection release Wednesday! 'UNDER THE SEA'

This introduction so describes this must have it all collection.....

read on and have fun.

Take a walk along the edge of the deep blue sea, feel the warm sand between your toes and breathe in the salty air.  Balmy breezes tousle your hair and toy with the exotic hibiscus flower behind your ear as you stoop to snatch a lustrous seashell that has been swept onto the beach with the incoming tide. Cares and worries melt away because life really is better at the seaside.  The cool, crystal clear water lapping at the shoreline beckons you and you cannot resist the sudden urge to dive right in.  Before you know it you have been submerged into a magical underwater world where you find yourself settling on a jagged reef surrounded with burnished coral, glassy seashells and mystical sea creatures more beautiful than your imagination could ever conjure.  A peek behind the coral and waltzing seaweed finds you nose to nose with a school of fish gliding every so gently with their long, graceful flowing tails and glistening scales decorated with an abundance of shimmering and alluring colors.  Delicate sea horses and magnificent jelly fish dart and flit among the dancing aquatic plant life as to entertain you with a glorious underwater show being performed just for you.  Welcome to “Under the Sea”, the newest collection by Heartfelt Creations.  This water themed assembling of magnificent papers, stamps and dies will have you creating ravishing underwater scenes perfect for documenting your seaside vacations, ocean themed altered art pieces or salt water card creations.   The tranquil color palette of calming blues, greens and teals, paired with golden yellows, subtle shades of pinks, purples, corals and reds are sure to soothe your soul.  Creating projects with a tropical flair that will “make a splash” has been made simple with decorative papers boasting mesmerising patterns of sea shells, florals, delicate swirls and alluring hibiscus blossoms.  The intricate, detailed stamp illustrations of underwater sea creatures, glistening seashells, and exotic hibiscus flowers are sublime for shaping and creating dimensional elements adding a realistic touch to any underwater themed paper craft design.  We invite you to take the plunge and come along with us on an underwater adventure as we explore Under the Sea.

Instructions:

The finished tent fold card measures 21 cm x 14. 6 cm.

Note: All the stamping is done on the Aquarelle paper and with the gold embossing powder.

Taking the A4 Crafters Companion card stock, fold this in half. This will become your card base. Find the green design paper in the paper pad and cut to fit the card base front, 21 cm x 14.6 cm. less, 2mm smaller each side. Distress the edges with the distressing tool. Adhere to the card front. Taking the A4 foam sheet, (used instead of cutting x 4-5 extra paper to make the die cut into a chipboard) the Crafters Companion card stock and the Eyelet die, cut out. Cut also the decorative die shape from the card stock. Adhere together then place and adhere to the card front. Apply a little colour to the frame front. Stamp, colour, die cut and shape the images. Note the jellyfish tail has been cut off and used as sea grass and the jellyfish head has been used as sea urchins. All is adhered with the aid of the foam dots cut to size needed. The sentiment is first stamped then the jellyfish die is used to get the oval shape…of course cutting the tentacles off and edging with the gold embossing powder. Add the finishing touch of the stickles on the fish scales, flowers and shells.

 A close up of the is beautiful shell. I had such fun colouring and shaping this shell.

Below you see the Jelly fish stamp used to make a few under the sea urchins. Trim the tentacles off and use them as sea grass. The gold embossing truly gives a mystical intrigue to the card.This same die is used to cut the sentiment....so handy.

You can see the tentacles used as the sea grass. The flowers and swirls are so wonderful to use...great fillers for any arrangement.

Love this fish stamp. When coloured, add stickler to the scales, this gives it a great finishing touch.

Another peek at the card to show the layering.

I hope you have had fun visiting me today....don't you just love this new collection?

Have fun with it....see you next time..

Inky hugs,
