These  papers from  HEARTFELT CREATIONS are beautiful.

YOU WILL NEED:-
HCDP1-292 O Holy Night Collection paper pad
HCD1-776 Eyelet oval die set
HCPC-3834 Noel Sentiments stamp set
HCPC-3833 Silent night Scroll stamp set
HCD1-7186 Silent night Scroll die set
HCST1-401 Delux Flower Shaping kit

AND:-White card, versamark, white embossing powder, transparent glitter, quickie glue pen, green organza ribbon, kuretake pens 048 Emerald green & 060 brown, diamond stickles, hot glue gun, double sided tape, foam pads,  diamond stickles

THIS IS HOW I MADE IT:-
Score an 8” x 16” piece of white card at 8” to create an 8” square card base.

Select the paper from the pad and cut a 7.5” square. Using a paper trimmer cut a square from the centre of the paper measuring slightly less than 6.5” mount this onto a piece of white card slightly bigger than 6.5”. Add the larger frame of paper to the base card. Adhere the paper mounted on the white card on top of the frame ensuring that the pattern matches both layers.

Run the quickie glue pen around the edge of the papers and add transparent glitter. Remove excess.


Stamp the sentiment in veramark onto co ordinating paper (aim to stamp it where it is free from pattern so that the sentiment shows up). Add white embossing powder and heat to set. Die cut this using the largest eyelet oval. Cut the eyelets off the oval.



Die cut a white  eyelet oval and cut the centre using the smaller oval to make a frame. Edge the frame with transparent glitter. Adhere the white oval from the centre to the back of the sentiment and the frame over the front of the sentiment and add to the base card using foam pads.
Make a bow and add to the side of the frame using hot glue.
Stamp the pine cone in versamark onto white card and heat emboss using white embossing powder. Colour using the kuretake pens and add diamond stickles to the pine needles. Shape using the Delux flower shaping kit and add to the centre of the ribbon using hot glue.

TAA - DAAAAA!

I made an MDF wall hanging with it, love the sentiment, it makes me giggle everytime I read it
This is what I did:
Select the paper from the pad and draw around the mdf heart, cut out the shape slightly smaller than your line and edge the paper with Night of Navy ink.

Stitch running stitch along the edge of the 1” ribbon and gather up, attach the ribbon to the edge of the heart using hot glue and add the paper heart on top of the ribbon using hot glue, ensure that you leave a hole in the paper for threading the hanging ribbon.

Pull the ½” ribbon through the hanging hole and tie with a bow for hanging.

Stamp the fish in night of navy ink and cover in clear embossing powder, remove excess and heat. Colour using the kuretake water colour pens and water brush, bend to shape and allow to dry.

Stamp the sentiment, onto co odinating paper from the pad, in night of navy ink  and heat emboss the using clear powder. Cut the sentiment to size and edge with ink, layer onto slightly larger navy card and position onto the heart with hot glue.

Love the colour of her hair
I die cut her into a circle and made a wreath of leaves for her.
Stamp the leaves with Leafy Accents stamp set , Die cut 
Then stamp your sentiment


This is the first Elizabeth Bell lass that I coloured,
love her grey hair.
the leaves were made using
and some cosmic shimmer mist
Love the little sentiment from Hunkydory For the Love of Stamps.
But mostly I'm so pleased with the way everything blends together on the gorgeous Classic Wedding Collection Papers  from Heartfelt Creations


I've really enjoyed turning this image from Elizabeth Bell into a card using my Leafy Accents stamp, die and mold from HEARTFELT CREATIONS
The petunias and stamens are also from Heartfelt Creations
I love this little image from Elizabeth Bell.
The back ground was achieved with some of Stampin Up!'s newest colours - Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Mango Melody

I love this Toucan        

I used some lovely paper from one of my Heartfelt collections for the background and stamped the sentiment (from for the love of stamps by Hunkydory in a really bright ink.
The flowers are made using the Tropical Paradise Collection from Heartfelt Creations - they really set off this brightly coloured toucan. I love adding dimension where I can.

Thank you for looking.
