My Other 2 Heartfelt Creations Submissions

Good morning fellow bloggers, I hope you are all enjoying your weekend:)
Yesterday I went to a copic class at SirStamalot in peterborough and it was such an inspiring and interesting class run by a lovely lady called Louise.  I met some wonderful ladies too:)
So any way as promised yesterday I have my other 2 Heartfelt Creations submission projects to share with you today:
Memory Trinket Box

Timeless Amour - small memory trinket box (project 3)

Papers used:

·         Heartfelt Creations Vintage Floret Papers

Heartfelt Creations dies used:

·         Timeless Amour (HCD 728)

·         Layered Scalloped Posy (HCD 717)

Other items used:

·         Small round trinket box (approx 10cm diameter)

·         Acrylic paint

·         Pearls on a thread

·         pink satin ribbon

·         pearl hearts, clear gems, stickles glitter and a decorative button or brad for the knob

Instructions:

·         Paint the box (inside if you wish as well) and allow to dry.

Using 2 or 3 co-ordinating papers cut:

·         6 large decorative hearts (keep the inner hearts)

·         22 small inner trellis hearts (9 of which should be in co-ordinating coloured paper)

·         14 small enclosed hearts (5 of which should be in co-ordinating coloured paper)

·         14 tiny blossom flowers (from the layered scalloped posy die set)

·         Cut the words from the Birthday sentiment from the paper pad which says ‘ May your birthday be filled with yesterday’s memories today’s joys and tomorrow’s dreams. ( You don’t need  ‘may your birthday’)

 

·         Make up 9 small hearts for around the outside of the box : take 1 small enclosed heart and 1 small trellis heart (co-ordinating coloured papers), glue together at the edges ( not at the bottom, or top only a little at the sides) . When dry squeeze slightly towards the centre to create a little puffed out heart.  Take 7 small trellis hearts and fold in centre slightly. Put to one side.

 

·         Using a very strong glue (I have used a hot glue gun) glue the decorative pin or button in place (I cut of the back off the button so that it was flat).

 

·         Adhere the pearl trims and ribbon in place .

 

·         With the box upside down adhere the 4 large decorative hearts, inner large hearts, 4 small trellis hearts and 4 small enclosed hearts in place as in picture.

 

·         Starting from the front of the box first adhere 2 puffed out hearts as in picture then the other 7 around the outside of the box. Then take the 7 trellis hearts and adhere with just a little glue along the centre where you folded them, when dry slightly fold the edges in together as to give a winged effect.

 

·         Adhere the small blossom flowers around the lid.

 

·         To decorate the top of the box take the 2 decorative hearts, 2 large enclosed hearts, 2 small trellis hearts and the small enclosed heart that you have left and adhere in place as in picture . Use 3d gel or foam pads to slightly lift the hearts away from the lid.

 

·         Adhere the words that you cut from the paper pad onto the lid......’ Filled with yesterdays memories today’s joy’s  and tomorrow’s dreams’

 

·         Finally decorate with LOTS of gems and stickles  glitter and glue the small pearl heart onto the small heart on the lid.
