Heartfelt Creation Wednesday....as seen on TV (heehee)

A very good morning to you all! We are almost in to autumn so it no longer feels to early to be creating Christmas cards:).....I love Christmas, it is my favourite time of the year and when I first saw this collection from Heartfelt Creations I just new I was going to enjoy creating with them:)
For lot's more inspiration from the other extremely talented Design Team just head on over to the blog HERE . There is also a fabulous video showing you that this collection is more than just Christmas by Emma Lou!
My creation today is a card with a gift tag that also can be used as a wall plaque to hang on the wall which was featured at the CHA live on Create and Craft TV!!!!(Had to get that bit in lol) You can see that  I have used the gorgeous papers from the Christmas Card Collection, Stamps and Dies form the Christmas Collection, but I have also used the Sunkissed Fleur stamps and Sunkissed Fleur dies to create Christmas flowers, which just shows how versatile the Heartfelt Creation products are. I have just added some fabulous snowdust from Pinflair which give the flowers a real Christmas feel!

This picture is showing both the card and tag

 





The card without the tag. I have chosen some paper from the collection so that the card still looks good without the tag!

 

This is the tag in all it's glory

 Instructions :

Main Card: Cover the card base in red card. Die cut 4 decorative lattice decorations (from the ornamental add on die set) in olive green card and adhere to each corner as in the picture. Then using the med/large square die from the grand square die set, die cut a square from your chosen paper and adhere to the centre of the card(tent style). Die cut a med/large labels four in red card, a medium one in olive green card and a small/medium in your chosen paper. Next die cut a large labels sixteen in red card. Cut out the bird on a spruce branch from the paper collection and layer this onto the red labels sixteen die cut. Now adhere the labels four which you have just die cut Layering the largest to the smallest onto the bottom of the card adhering only at the sides and bottom edges to make a pocket.  Adhere the bird on the spruce branch onto the centre of the pocket. Decorate the card as in the picture using approximately these die cuts: 5 decorative lattice decorations in red card, 4 decorative lattice decorations in olive card, 4 holly berry swirl leaves olive green card(stamp with the co-ordinating stamp), 2 sunkissed die sets in red card(stamping and heat embossing with the red embossing powder). Adhere these onto the card as in picture. Finish the front with stickles glitter and the Pinflair snowdust. I have also decorated the inside of the card to co-ordinate.

The wall plaque tag: I have made tag approximately 3.5”x7” in olive green card. Stamp the top and bottom of the card with the decorative border stamp in red ink so that only the top of the pattern has stamped.  Die cut 3 decorative lattice decorations in olive green and 3 in red card. Adhere these from the  back of the tag (I cut mine in ½) layering the red on top of the olive green.  Die cut a set of the Sunkissed Fleur flowers and stamp and heat emboss with red embossing powder.  Cut out the sentiment saying from the paper collection and layer onto red card and some chosen paper from the paper collection and adhere to the centre of the tag. Adhere some pearls on sting and some lace to the top of the tag as in picture.  Add the flowers to the tag.  On the back of the tag I have made a loop with lace and added a little flower to finish it off so that the tag can be hung on the wall which is why I decided to call it a wall plaque tag. Finish the tag off with stickles glitter and the snowdust.

The card can now be given with the tag sitting inside the pocket and if the recipient wants to hang the tag they can do so without the card looking unfinished.
