A Gift of Love

 
A very happy Wednesday to you all:)
 
So firstly an update on the Journey album kit.  I have filmed half of the tutorial and plan on finishing this off tomorrow....as you may well have guessed it is quite a long one.
I am estimating that this kit will be available from next Wednesday and as I said in yesterdays post the cost is £15 and payable through paypal.
 
I understand that albums are not everyone's thing so my next kit will be a criss cross card with a tag.
This kit should be available within the next 2 weeks.
 
Now onto the card that I would like to share today....it is of course Heartfelt Creations Wednesday:)
This card isn't on the Heartfelt Creations blog this week....due to the fact that I have so much crafting going on  ( I of course have to share myself with the family too) I am able to opt out of doing a full tutorial and loading my card/project up on there blog each week. So you will find that I probably will only post on there a few times a month....sorry:( Having said that please hop on over and take a peek at the gorgeous makes that the rest of the DT have created HERE
 

A Gift of Love

 
 

 
 
  • I have of course used the latest collection - Sweet Lullaby:)
  • I matted a soft sage green card onto my card base which measures 7" square and chose some patterned paper measuring 6 1/2" square from the collection and matted this onto it.
  • I die cut out the Spellbinder die Reflective Moment which is one of the new ones. I inked the edges a little with some pink chalk ink and added this to my card with foam pads...I put the left hand side pads slightly more away from the edge as I have a removable decorative tag which I thought would be nice to add the birth time, date and name of the baby and maybe even add a gift card to the back!
  • I chose one of the panels from the paper collection and adhered this to the Spellbinder die.
  • I die cut out the pram and 2 wheels.  Before adhering the pram I have threaded some lace through the pram hood. I adhered the pram just at the edges and adhered it to the card giving it a slight curve. I added the wheels with tiny foam pads.
  • Next I have added a pink band of ribbon and lace across the card and also a pink bow...To allow the tag to slide under the ribbon, don't add any glue/tape here.
  • I have added a pink flower which is in the die collection and placed it in the centre of the bow.
  • I have cut a tag out from the papers and added this to the bottom of the bow.
  • The final element that I have added is the sentiment which I have also cut out from the papers.
  • To finish off the card I have added some pearls and yes! a little Stickles glitter. 
When I started this post I decided not to do a full tutorial, but I just can't help myself lol......I hope you have enjoyed my post today:)
 
I will be back soon take care x

  4. Hi Nikki

    Another stunning card today. I love this set of stamps from Heartfelt Creation. The album is not really my scene but look forward to getting the criss cross card in the next few weeks.

  6. Hello Nikki
    I think most new parents would be thrilled to receive todays card. It is very pretty indeed. You seem to be taking so much on in a very short time you mind you don't over do things; pace yourself it doesn't all have to be done at once :) Remember that HC's blog is an amazing shop front for your work and for promoting yourself.

  7. Hi Nikki, this is such a Stunning Card, I must admit when I first saw the collection I thought not for me with being for Children, Having No Children and No Family or Friends with Children, but seeing some of your Awesome Samples where you've turned it into a Umbrella, (I'd never think of that) I Love the Card Stock and what I really love about your Cards is your Embellishments, Nikki thank you for sharing and the breakdown of the card.
    Take Great Care
    Love and Hugs
