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.

·         17 x small blossom flowers from the layered scalloped Posy die set

·         5 x foliage leaves

 

·         Paint the heart , I used a sponge to give it a shabby vintage look.  Finish using a little gold metallic ink.  Allow to dry.

 

·         Stamp the flowers with the co-ordinating stamps heat emboss with the gold embossing powders . Distress the tiny blossom with a little metallic gold ink.

 

·         Using the foliage die as a mask, stencil the foliage leaves and stamp using the co-ordinating stamps.

 

·         Make up the flowers : I have used 1 large main flower, 2 medium/large, 1 medium, 1 small/ medium and 1 small for the heart and 1 small/medium and 1 small for the lace dangles.

 

·         With a little of the gold metallic ink, distress the decorative hearts and emboss around the edge of the small trellis heart.

 

·         Adhere the lace and tulle to the outside of the heart from the back.

 

·         Adhere the flowers in a cluster, 3 of the larger flowers in the left hand corner with the 3 of the foliage and 3 of the smaller flowers diagonally opposite with the remaining foliage.

·         Adhere the other decorative hearts in with the larger cluster of flowers as in picture.

·         Adhere the self adhesive pearl flourishes as in picture, Leaving parts of the flourish not adhered ( you will need to used a strong glue even though they are slightly tacky as this isn’t enough) .

 

·         Adhere the tiny blossoms to the pearl flourishes.

 

·         Finish by adding the gems to the flowers. Gems, pearls and stickles glitter to the tulle. I have also added a little stickles glitter to the flowers and foliage.

 

·         Finally I have pushed angel hair into the open lattice and filled the heart to give it a little mystical whimsy look.
