Heartfelt Creations Design Team Call

Heartfelt Creations offers a complete collection of papers and matching stamps and die cuts. They have become a new favorite for me over the past year. They had a design team call open this month. Regardless of the outcome I really enjoyed playing with all they things I had on hand from their product line.

First up is a Thank you card using the Sun Kissed Fleur collection.

This card is a 5x7" base. Create the base of this card by cutting a piece of cream card stock to 7" x 10", score at 5". The card base is built using the sun kissed paper collection. I chose a light blue for base, cheesecloth, darker blue for die cut resplendent rectangle, and a 3x5 image from the tags page at the end of the paper stack. Using olive grove ink, stamp Thank You sentiment to banner. Using the distress tool, rough up the edges of this image. Adhere with foam tape to give it a bit of dimension from the base.

Using cream card stock for all: stamp the sun kissed fleur cling stamp using espresso truffle three times. Die cut the images and sponge color onto them using cantaloupe to the center and peanut brittle to the outer edges. Sponge color to the leaves using bamboo leaves to the center and olive grove to the outer edges. Shape flowers using the deluxe flower shaping kit and glue layers together. Die cut green swirls using the bella rose die. I trimmed the leaves off to only use the swirl of the die cut. Sponge color to the swirls using bamboo leaves and olive grove. Die cut layered elegant swirl  for the upper left of the card under the flowers. Leave this die cut cream colored. Apply all die cuts to your finished card base and your card is complete.

Second up is a Love book card

This card is both a card and a gift as you can insert a treat into the inside of the card. I followed the tutorial from Stempeleinmaleins for the book card. All measurements are as stated in the tutorial.
All papers used for this project are from the Romantique Gardens paper collection.

On the front: using pink card stock diecut a decorative lace border. Trim to fit card base & adhere. Layer cheesecloth over lace border. Cut white cardstock 3.5" x 3.5" square, ink edges with rose bud and rhubarb stalk ink. Use corner rounding punch to all corners. The hummingbird image is selected from the paper collection. Cut out using a standard circles die. Adhere hummingbird image using foam tape. Add a bit of white lace trim under image.

Using printed green cardstock from the paper collection, die cut two each of the flower base with swirls using the romantique garden die set. (One set for the front and one set for the inside right). Adhere to either side of the hummingbird image forming a heart. Using white card stock, stamp using tuxedo black ink the bleeding heart flowers from the hearthrob precut stamp set four times. Die cut these images with the romantique garden die set and sponge color onto them using angel pink, rose bud, rhubarb stalk. Work color from center out beginning with angel pink. Shape flowers using the deluxe flower shaping kit and glue layers together. Adhere with foam tape to add a bit of dimension.

For the inside of the card:
Left side: cut small image from tags page in paper collection. Matte with green print used for paper base swirls. Add leftover purple heart punch edge to sides.
Right side: Adhere green flower base with swirls and inked up bleeding heart petals prepared while assembling the front of the card. Using purple printed card stock from the collection, border punch two 12" x 1" inch strips. Once edge is punched, cut into 4 5/8" strips. Adhere to all sides of the book card frame prepared with black card stock. Adhere the green swirl flower bases and shaped bleeding hearts to top and bottom corners. This completes your book card.
