Hi everyone:) ....I hope you have all had a good Monday!
Well I made it back from Silverstone in one piece and I have to admit that I really did enjoy myself and would definitely do it again. The atmosphere was amazing and everyone was so friendly:) Not sure why hubby has insisted on watching all the replays on TV though? It must be a man thing:)
I took quite a few photos so the new Heartfelt Collection - Cut Mat Create will definitely be coming in handy especially now I don't have quite so much time to create as may scrapbook layouts as I used too:)
So with the weekend over and housework all done I have already began to prep for the Heartfelt Creations Christmas release on Create and Craft next week:) Christmas is my favourite time of year so I have been itching to play with this collection since I received it a few weeks back:) So sorry it is being released so close to the last release, but you really I going to love it:)
I am sharing another card from last Thursdays show using on of the new stamps from the collection as well as the dies and also the beautiful floral paper.
- I have used the Summer Song stamp set for the main image which I coloured in using water coloured pencils and distress inks.
- I cut the 6" square floral panel from the paper collection and cut it down to 5 3/4" to fit on my card base. I have used a Martha Stewart decorative punch on both the card base and the paper.
- I distressed the edges of the papers and image a little with Tea Dye distress ink.
- I die cut out the image with die set 1B and matted it onto the co-ordinating die from set 1A. I adhered this to the card at an angle.
- Next I have die cut 2 of the decorative lacy corners from die set 2B and added one at the top and one at the bottom of the image.
- I stamped the sentiment and cut this out with the arrow die from die set 1B and adhered this with foam pads to the card.
- The flowers are from the Sweet Lullaby collection which I have die cut out in the patterned paper. I have used some Pinflair glue and seed beads for the centre of the flowers.
- The flourish vine which I have used is from die set 2A which I have die cut once and cut in half.
- Finally I have added a few seed beads to the centre of the flowers on the image and also a little Stickles glitter.

Hello Nikki
ReplyDeleteAfter watching you and Emma Lou I had to track down the Dove Pen !...now c/c are carrying it!!!!
Loved the show and I'm still stuck on the Arianna blooms... they lend themselves to the front of a card.
The Mat and Layer will be useful but funds say wait awhile LOL!
Glad you had a good weekend.
Love Marg

I love all thinks Heartfelt. Just wish I could buy them all. Love the latest mat and layer collection and your demos on the shows. Stunning cards......xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I'm always inspired when I look at your cards. I'm going on holiday in a weeks time so this time the new heartfelt will have to wait a week or two. I'm not sure I'll cope though lol! Will have to save some of my spending money so I can order when I'm home. Xx
ReplyDeleteHi Nikki - just watching the shows from last week - wow what a lovely collection. Its a good thing I wasn't watching it live as I'm sure In would have been tempted to buy and I cant really afford that. Glad you had a good weekend at Silverstone - my daughter's 'toy-boy' was also there (a 40th birthday present from his mates) and had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the Christmas show xx
Love the colours and the stamp is a very use able design
ReplyDeleteHi Nikki
ReplyDeleteLovely simply lovely! I am confused though as I thought it was the Cut Mat and Create was only being released next week in the US now there is mention of a Christmas release next week over here? The Christmas releases are so spectacular I would rather have that! :) so when is it going to be released in the US? I sometimes buy over there you see. I haven't seen a heads up on the HC website as far as I could see they haven't even the last release up yet, but hey I haven't a moment to myself at the moment.
Also a question where would I get scrapbook spacers for giving extra depth for decorated pages? Any ideas anyone?
Glad you had a nice break hope mum is a lot better

Sorry that should have read being released this week in the US!
ReplyDeleteHxx
You make such beautiful cards, its lovely to see all the details which inspire us all. The Heartfelt stamps and dies are gorgeous, shame that we cant have them all but where would we put them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely job you have. Keep up the good work as we enjoy seeing all the cards you continue to make. I record all the shows its great to see all the samples and good that they give you time to show them all. Thanks for all your hard work

Hi Nikki
ReplyDeleteLoving today's card. I especially like the lacy corner die, it's gorgeous isn't it. I'm glad that you had a good time at Silverstone. I can understand why he would want to watch it back on the TV as he probably missed most of it by being there anyway. I shall be recording the show next week as I shall be in Llandudno for 5 days. So will have to watch when I get back.
Hi Nikki,
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, so, so pretty. I adore the flowers in this collection.
Glad you enjoyed your time at Silverstone, my hubby would have loved that as he is a biker lol!
Looking forward to seeing some peaks of the Christmas show so I hope we#re not kept waiting too long lol!
Love & Hugs
