Wednesday inspiration....something special today....

....new toys! A side release from Heartfelt Creations. 

Beautiful lace and basic frames to play with...

Today using only two of them...next week you get to see what I did with the other one.INSTRUCTIONS:

To make the card base, take the outer size die from the Simple Center Piece die set and the white cardstock, die cut twice. Make a fold line at 1 / 2 “ across the top of one of the sides. Apply double sided tape to this then join the two pieces of card together. Fold back a little, the card that has the fold line in it so the card can stand on its own.

Using the same die, the die that is one size smaller and the design paper sheet 11 B, die cut one of the large size and two of the smaller size. Take one of the smaller sized cuts and adhere this to the card inside.  With the paper distressing tool, distress all the edges of the remaining papers. Adhere to the card front using the 3D double sided tape or dots. Taking the white card stock and the lacy frame of the Simply Elegant Center Piece die set then die cut the frame once. Adhere this to the card front. Make the sentiment band by stamping with the sepia ink the sentiment onto the white card stock. Trim so it will fit across the card front then matt it with a scrap from the sheet 11 B. Adhere across the middle of the card front. Make the sunflowers and leaves for around the sentiment. Twelve small sized sunflowers are used and seven leaves that are cut into to make twenty six small leaves. Each flower has two layers so you need to stamp with the sepia ink on to the white card stock, twenty four small sized flower petals  and seven leaves. Color the sunflower with the mango and the leaves with the parakeet and spruce Aqua Blend water color pencils and the water coloring pen. When coloring is complete, die cut all with the matching dies. Use the Rustic Sunflower mold and the deluxe flower shaping tool kit to bring dimension to the flowers and leaves. For each flower layer, apply a little clear drying adhesive to the petal tips then dip them into glitter. Put aside to dry. When dry adhere two layers together to form the flower. Apply clear drying adhesive to the flower centers then sprinkle the black sand in the centers. Put aside to dry. When dry adhere all in place using the hot glue gun. Trim the leaves so you have at least four smaller leaves from each leaf. Adhere these leaves between each flower also using the hot glue gun.

Use the water coloring pen to blend the colors. Use the matching dies to die cut the shapes. To bring shape and emboss to the flowers and leaves, use the matching Rustic Sunflower shaping mold and use the deluxe flower shaping tools to bring further shaping needed. Next apply a little adhesive to the flower petal tips using the hydra sponge then dip them into the glitter.  When dry adhere two petal layers together for each flower using the hot glue gun. Next step is, apply the clear drying adhesive to the flower centers then you can sprinkle the black sand over the adhesive. Tap away any excess sand then put aside to dry. Three sets of the berry twigs are used as fillers. Stamp the berry image with the sepia and color using the leaf green ink. Die cut ready for use.  Arrange and adhere all the leaves flowers and fillers to the card front circle using the hot glue gun or the clear drying Adhesive.

The colors used are: The seeds, handles and bucket: Ginger and Gravel. The flower sprays: Mango, Parakeet and persimmon. The flowers: Mango. The leaves: Spruce and  Parakeet. To prepare the flat sunflowers, apply the adhesive to the petal points then apply the glitter to the petals. When dry, apply adhesive and sand to the flower centers. Do this to all the stamped clusters and all the sunflowers with stems. Put aside to dry.

For the third and last panel, first stamp the sentiment with sepia ink in the center of the eyelet circle then adhere the rustic sunflower sprays to the top and bottom of the eyelet circle. Colors used are: spruce, parakeet and mango. Three sunflower seeds are adhered to the left of the foot of the card.

To prepare the sentiment words, die cut from the white card stock using the Letters and Numbers die set. The small letter size, x 5 each letter for the words BUCKETS OF LOVE  and x 5 for the letter S. From the large  letter size x 6 each for the XXO.

Instructions:

This layout measures 12“ X 12“. Cut the grey board to 12“ X 12“ for the layout base. Find the sheet 6A in the paper pad to use for the background. Cut this sheet into quarters. Arrange so the flowers are in the center of the layout then adhere into place.

Using the white card stock to die cut the Decorative Frame and the eyelet circle. Then you ink the die cuts with the Sky blue and the leaf green inks with the aid of the daubers. Adhere these two die cuts to the center of the layout using foam dots or a scrap carton for each layer to lift them from the base, this will give a shadow and look like the layers are floating. Chose a photo that you can cut a circle with the small circle die set, 3rd from the outside going in. Die cut also with the same circle die two grey board circles. Adhere these two circle layers together then the photo on top then to the eyelet circle already adhered to the layout. This is the layout centerpiece that you can now embellish.

Using the deluxe flower shaping cardstock and the sepia ink for all the stamping, prepare the embellishments for this layout. Two petals for each sunflower and six flowers are made using the Rustic Sunflower cling stamp and die sets. Four of the lager Sunflower sprays and one smaller spray. Two wooden buckets with flowers. For the coloring, use for the bucket and handle, Ginger. For the steel band on bucket, Gravel. For the flowers and sprays, Iris, Mango, Parakeet and Persimmon. For the leaves, Spruce and Parakeet. Once all is colored and die cut with the matching sets, shape the flowers using the Rustic Sunflower Shaping mold also using the deluxe flower shaping tools to bring any further shaping needed. Apply a little adhesive to the petal tips then dip them into the glitter. Adhere two petal layers together for each flower using the hot glue gun. Apply clear drying adhesive to the flower centers then sprinkle the black sand over the adhesive. Also to all the stamped clusters, apply the adhesive and glitter to the petals, adhesive and sand to the flower centers. Once the adhesive has dried you can then use them for the project. For the layout title, use the Letters and Numbers die set to die cut one layer from the white card stock and four layers from the grey board for the word FAMILY. Adhere all the layers together with the white layer on top. Apply clear drying adhesive then sprinkle the black sand on top. When the glue is dry, the letters can be placed under the sunflower cluster on the right side of the photo.

This Wednesdays inspiration is with beautiful butterfly's

 Using the Floral Butterfly collection. Enjoy

Instructions:

This is a bridge fold card which measures  8  3/4" when completed.

Make the card base by using the white card stock and cutting it at 12“ x 6 1/2". Make score folds at the 12" length, 1 1/2" then 3"  turn the card and repeat. Fold the folds. Make two bands, one at 9 1/2" x 1" and one at 9" x 1/2”.

Cut mattings for the card base and the bands for the card from the paper collection pad. Cut these mattings a little smaller than the base measurements. Ink all the edges of the papers with the Garden Patina ink and a inking tool. Now, using the pattern tracing tool, ruler and a foam mat, pierce holes along the edge of the paper edges, about 1 / 4 “ from the edge or less.

You can now adhere all the matting papers to the card fronts and bands. The bands are adhered so: the card bridge band that is 1" wide, adhere at 2 1/2" from the foot of the card, fold the card flat then adhere the other side also at 2 1/2" from the foot of the card. Taking the 1/2" band and fold the sides in so it will fit into the card under the first band. Adhere in place. This card is now ready to decorate with embellishments. Make all the embellishments by stamping with the library green ink onto the white card stock.

Make first the large butterfly by stamping twice the butterfly image. Color in the under layer at the edges by using the garden patina ink and a dauber. The second butterfly color using the aqua blend pencils, Sky blue, Kiwi, Ruby, Mango, Oregano, Persimmon and the water pen.  Die cut both butterflies out using the matching die from the collection. Adhere the two butterfly layers together at the body. Adhere to the card base and across the band, using 3D foam dots to give height.

Now make the smaller butterfly. Stamp one and color using the Hyacinth, Indigo, Kiwi, Mango, Petunia pencils and water pen. Die cut using the matching dies. Adhere this to the card as shown. Make the flowers for the card by stamping then coloring with the, Ruby, Petunia, Hyacinth, Pineapple, Sky blue, Oregano, Kiwi.

The sentiment is stamped with gold embossing powder then fussy cut. See where the placement is in the card photo and adhere. To close the card so it will almost be flat for posting, this card will fold to the right due to the placement of the sentiment.
