Heartfelt Creations Wednesday

A very good Wednesday morning my blogging friends. Today I have 2 Heartfelt Creation cards to share with you. They are both very different. One is a vey summery card (I think maybe I am trying to hold onto summer here in the UK a little longer) and the other is a very festive Christmas card.
But first:

So to my cards, this one is the very festive Christmas card:

 I have heat embossed using the Holiday Script background stamp with clear sparkle embossing powder over deep red memento ink.



The poinsettia is the new stamp which co-ordinates with the Sun Kissed Fleur die which was released a few months ago.
I have heat embossed each individual flower with Shabby white embossing powder.

 

                             I have die cut cut out 2 Christmas trees. One
                             in pale olive card and one in the dark green 
                             patterned paper from the Frosty Blanket
                             paper collection. I have layered them up on
                             top of each other adhering only at the middle
                             and off set the top one slightly so that it
                             creates a shadow effect. I have then gently
                             eased them away from the card so that it
                             gives it a 3D look.

                             To create a real festive look to my card I
                              added lots of Snow Dust.

 

 Here are products that I have used and the instructions on how I created it in more detail:

Finish of the card by decorating with the , glitter jewels, snow dust, red glitter  and stickles glitter to finish.  I have decorated  the inside of the card by adhering some matching paper.

Now for my 2nd Heartfelt Creations card today:


 

I have made a Criss Cross card and instead of adhering the fronts together and using it as a pocket, I have used the ribbon bow to keep them together.

 

I have decorated the inside of the card so that this is on show when on display

Die Cut: 4 x Vintage Lace borders, 1 x large Stately Circles in dusky pink card, 1 x med/large Grand Decorative, 1 x Decorative Labels Eight in dusky pink card.
Layer up the circles and adhere together, cut them and adhere at the back of the card so that you have about 1” showing on the 2 sides and 2” showing on the top piece,(you don’t need the 4^th piece). Adhere the borders from the inside of each side of the card.  Cut a piece of dusky pink card approximately 4 ½” x 6 ½” stamp and emboss the tropical floral swirl stamp randomly with clear sparkle embossing powder.  Adhere this to the bottom half of the middle of the inside of the card. Choose a quote from the paper pad, cut it out and layer onto dusky pink card so that it has about a ½” border. Now layer this onto the Decorative Labels Five die cut and now adhere to the embossed pink card.  Cut two pieces of patterned paper and adhere to the inside of both the left and right hand side of the card, cut them so that there is a border left around them.
Stamp, emboss with the frantage and die cut 3 x Sun kissed Fleur flowers. Make up one large one, the others I have left single, and adhere these into place as in picture.
Adhere the Vintage lace borders and the vintage cream lace across the middle of each side of the outside of the card. Adhere the ribbon and leave long enough so that you can make a bow to keep the card closed.  Decorate the card with the pearls on thread, decorative pearls, small single pearls and finish of course with a little stickles glitter.
