Heartfelt Dt Card + Christmas Launch Sneaky peak.

Hi All

     Over on Heartfelt Creations blog today You can see lots of Inspiration from all the team including my creation for this week which I have added here from the Burst of splendor paper pad and the classic leaf die, some cuts with spellbinders and a simple spiral flower and gems and look how pretty and all because of the gorgeous and very sturdy paper collection.

I was flying around making a card, doing washing,posting DT items, tidying up and packing to come to the coast and see my son so this one isn't as detailed as my usual cards but still as pretty I think. 

 Turned slightly so you can see how I have cut out the flowers and decoupaged them to create dimension .

 I cut out using the fabulous leaf die 2 sets of leaves and added that to the card and then made a flower by hand cutting a simple spiral from the gorgeous paper and then adding glue and dipping in iridescent glitter.

Here is a close up so you can see the spiral, so quick and easy to do and any scraps of paper left over no matter how small can be made into tiny versions of this and added to corners with other groupings of flowers etc. The paper is such amazing quality that it near enough holds its shape without any glue or fuss at all but of course I used a wet glue so it stayed permanently.

Next of course I gave you a sneak of some of the Christmas collection on the last blog post and today over at Heartfelt you will see a sneaky peak of the collection too. Here is the picture and what our lovely creative director had to say about it below.

Sneak Peek of the Christmas Card Collection 

"The Christmas Card Collection will debut on August 14th. The Christmas Card paper pad has 76 card fronts that will enable you to create quick and easy Christmas cards that are embellished or simple- you pick! This paper pack is a fantastic solution for getting the most beautiful cards for the least amount of time. If you don’t need one side, flip it over and use the other side! The colouring is done for you. There are many panels for utmost variety and the best selection. The stamps and dies released with this collection are absolutely festive and ornamental.

Lots to show today....

Good Morning Bloglanders.

Hope you are all having a crafty day and enjoying the nice weather in the UK unusually (If you are here) . I spent most of yesterday driving to the coast for a much needed little break so here I am house sitting for a wonderful lady who I am proud to say is my friend and feeding her kitty and fishes while shes off to Egypt which means I get to spend time with my son who lives here while studying.

I wanted to share some Pics of recent posts etc. So here is Last weeks card I made for Heartfelt Creations.

I just love the colours in this Months Burst of splendor collection and played them up with the matching ribbon and coloured the leafy frame to match. added lace which is always instant prettiness and even the matching dazzler on the bow works in with the theme.

Here is a close up of the Glitter I used on the flower which is a Martha Stewart one fire opal I believe.
Next I want to show you the 3 little projects I made for Craftwork cards , I just love their Time flies collection which is so totally up my street and I wanted a selection of different goodies so here we are.

I made an Easel card a card using their new flower shaped base cards and A small box of mini cards.

 Here is the Easel card , you can also see the new bows made from paper from pads of them in the online store here.

 

You can also see the bows under the butterfly on the flower along with a mat I hand cut and pierced the edges too.

Above is a close up of My Thanks box with 6 small Thank yous in it. I enjoyed making all the projects for Both teams as always and would love to know your thoughts on both.

Next week the new Christmas launch goodies will be on Heartfelt creations US website with the competition to win the entire collection for everyone so be sure and leave a comment on the collection to win, It is gorgeous.

 The collection was on Create and craft last week as their Las Vegas CHA event was on.
