Heartfelt Creations Christmas Card and Tags

Hello and welcome here!  We are almost to the end of my 6 month Design Team term with Heartfelt Creations and I have loved every minute of it.  I have a chance at continuing on with them so if you've enjoyed my HC creations you can vote for me and your other favourite 4 DT members, you can vote HERE. Thanks so much for your support!

Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5"

This card came together quickly, perfect for when you're making multiple cards at Christmas.  This is a Pinterest inspired card.  I used Frosty Blanket paper collection and the Holiday Script Background stamp set.

I used the VersaMarker (it's the same watermark ink as in the VersaMark ink pad) and 'inked' just the word 'Joy', I then stamped it in the corner of my CS and sprinkled Gold embossing powder on it and heated it.

Inside:

For the inside I used a sentiment from Bright Christmas stamp set.

Recipe:  HC PP-Frosty Blanket Paper, HC SS-Holiday Script Background, CTMH CS-White Daisy & Black, VersaMarker Pen, Gold EP, Buttons Galore & More-Classic Red, Celebrate It 1/8" Holiday Ribbon, (Inside: HC SS-Bright Christmas, CTMH New England Ivy Ink).

Tags Size:  3.5" Circle

Here's some quick tags you can make, I couldn't decided which colour to go with so I made both!

I used Christmas Sentiment Circles and  stamped it onto white CS.  I used Spellbinders Scalloped Circles to cut it out and matted it with a red circle.  The top of the ornament is made using gold CS (or silver duct tape) and Stampin' Up's Tag punch.  I then added a hole punch and some ribbon.

The back I left blank so that you can add your own sentiment or 'To'/'From'.

Recipe:  HC SS-Christmas Sentiment Circles, Spellbinders Standard Circles Sm., Spellbinders Big Scalloped Circles Lg., Hole Punch, Blue:  Bazzill Mono Typhoon CS, CTMH White Daisy CS, CTMH Outdoor Denim Ink, Aluminum Duct Tape, White Organza Ribbon, Red:  Bazzill red CS, CTMH White Daisy CS, CTMH New England Ivy Ink, Celebrate It 3/8" Red Ruffle Ribbon, Gold CS.

Heartfelt Creations Christmas Card

Hello and welcome here!  Wasn't it just Wednesday?? And now here it is again.  Time flies by so fast these days.  The leaves are changing here in Manitoba, I love the changing of the seasons, especially Fall and Winter.  It's time for some more Heartfelt Creations inspiration.  I made a fairly simple card this week, I've been having some back issues and sitting to scrap is not too comfortable these days.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I used patterned paper from the Frosty Blanket paper collection. I added some ribbon to make it look like a Christmas gift and finished it off with a poinsettia using the Christmas Poinsettia stamp set and Sun Kissed Fleur die. Super simple and super quick, perfect for making a bunch of them at a time.

The sentiment tag is from the sentiments found in the Christmas Card paper collection, I cut it out and matted it with the same green paper that I matted the stripes.

Inside:

For the inside I kept it fairly simple as well, I used the sentiment from Christmas Sentiment Circles.

Recipe:  HC PP-Frosty Blanket & Christmas Card Paper Collection, HC SS-Christmas Poinsettia, HC Die-Sun Kissed Fleur, CTMH Ink-New England Ivy & Bamboo, Pearls, Burgundy 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, (Inside:  HC SS-Christmas Sentiment Circles, CTMH New England Ivy Ink).

Heartfelt Creations Christmas Card

Hello and welcome here!  Time for some more Heartfelt Creations inspiration and this week I chose to make a pink Christmas card. 

 Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I used the newly released tree from the Banner and Trees die and the sentiment is from Christmas Sentiment Circles.   I used cream CS and distress the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  I embossed the tree onto the cream CS and used the die as a mask to distress around the tree, I then die-cut a tree and added it using foam squares.

 It's difficult to see but I finished off the tree with pink and cream pearls.  I stamped the sentiment using Vintage Photo Distress ink.

Inside:

The sentiment inside is found in the Christmas Card paper collection.

Top Tip Tuesday Get In Shape Challenge

Hello and welcome here!  I hope you had a great weekend.  I spent it laying in bed reading and watching movies.  I've never had back problems before but I guess one effect of growing older is that your parts start wearing out, lol.  My doctor ordered laying flat on the floor and once the worst of the pain was gone I gingerly climbed into bed to rest.  But you're here to see the Top Tip Tuesday Challenge which happens to be Get In Shape, shaped cards are in order...basically anything other than a rectangle.

Challenge - Get In Shape

Shaped cards...no rectangles.

Card Size:  5.75" x 9"

I used Washi Tape to add stripes to the surfboard.

Heartfelt Creations New Release Season of Joy

Hello and welcome here!  Did you remember that Cuttlebug Mania was changing to every 2 weeks?  That's why there was no post yesterday, just in case you popped by and wondered what was going on.

Today is the September New Release for Heartfelt Creations!! I'm so excited to share the dies, paper, and stamps with you.  The cards came together so quickly that I made 2 different sets, perfect for when you want to get your Christmas cards done in a timely manner!

Card Sizes:  4.25" x 5.5"

I couldn't decided which colours to work with...the blue, or the red/green, but because they were super quick to make I could make both sets to show you.  And I also had a hard time deciding where to place the sentiment, so I changed it up for all 4 cards.

For the set of blue cards I used patterned paper found in the Frosty Blanket Paper Collection. I also used one of the trees dies (or flip it upside down and you have a beautiful lace piece for a triangle banner.) from the new Banner and Trees Die set.  The circular sentiment is one from the Christmas Sentiment Circles PreCut set.  I heat embossed it using silver embossing powder and then die cut it using Spellbinders Lacey Circles.

Inside:

I used another sentiment from the Christmas Sentiment Circles for the inside.

Recipe:  HC PP-Frosty Blanket Paper Collection, HC Die-Banner and Trees, HC SS-Christmas Sentiment Circles, CTMH White Daisy CS, Tonic Studio Ticket Corner Punch, Spellbinders Lacey Circles, 3/8" or 5/8" Burgundy Grograin Ribbon, Pearls, Foam Squares, VersaMark Ink, Silver Embossing Powder, (Inside:  CTMH Outdoor Denim Ink).

For the red/green set I used all the same elements that I used on the blue cards I just changed up the colours, the red and green patterned papers can be found in the same paper pack.  I used gold embossing powder for the sentiment instead of silver.

Inside:

Recipe:  HC PP-Frosty Blanket Paper Collection, HC Die-Banner and Trees, HC SS-Christmas Sentiment Circles, CTMH White Daisy CS, Tonic Studio Ticket Corner Punch, Spellbinders Lacey Circles, 3/8" or 5/8" Burgundy Grograin Ribbon, Pearls, Foam Squares, VersaMark Ink, Gold Embossing Powder, (Inside:  CTMH New England Ivy Ink).
