Patchwork Daisy Collection

Visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog for more inspiration

and to find instructions for how I made this card.

This worked really well stamping the smaller flowers onto coloured or patterned paper, I heat embossed them to give some texture and shaped them before surrounding the window with them.

The sentiment comes from "For my friend sentiments" stamp set.

This reminds me of Sleeping Beauty!

Thank you for popping by today.

I hope you feel inspired to have a go with these amazing stamps.

O my word - what an amazing Black Friday Launch

 I have made my first album
and I chose the fabulous Under the Sea Collection to bring it to life
The Ornamental Tags die set made the front title.

Just look inside

I love these vivid papers, they add so much life to the project.

The white areas are for your photos - this one is held in place with the Petite Pocket Accents Die

All my sea creatures were embossed with gold and tinted with orangey ink

This photo is held in place with the Elegant Pocket Accents Die and the pockets on the second page are made using the Ornate Pocket Accents Die

I used Tim Holtz distress embossing powder on most of my die cuts, it looked like sand when it had been heat set, others I tinted with the orangey ink.

Its always great to have a few tags

This is another way of using the Petite Pocket Accents Die

And the big Ornate Pocket Accents Die looked amazing with distress embossing powder on it.

The photo strips are part of the package when you purchase the album - very handy.

This picture and the next show 2 different cuts using the smaller Elegant Pocket Accent Die

Nearly at the back page.

I hope I have inspired you.

Welcome to my Rustic Poppy Wreath Tutorial

Inspired by Remembrance Sunday and those fought in the Great War, and since.

Gather your supplies

Heartfelt Creations supplies:

HCPC-3674 Blazing Poppy Petals stamp set

HCD1-764 Blazing Poppy die set

HCDA2-450 pack of 30 stack and store daubers

HCST1-401 deluxe flower shaping kit

11blk gala glitz

Other Supplies:

Scarf hanger

Black ribbon

Real Red ink pad and card stock (Stampin Up!)

Black card

Wet glue

Hot glue

Wrap black ribbon tightly around the metal hanger

Wrap the ribbon back to the base of the hanger and secure with hot glue.

 Ink the stamp with Real Red ink  (Tip, as this is a large stamp it may be easier to place facing upwards and tap the pad onto it)

Stamp onto Real Red card stock, stamp 6 times.

 Line up the die with the stamped image.

Die cut

Ink the edges of all the petals using real red ink using a stack and store dauber.

Spritz the reverse of the die cut.

Shape the reverse of the poppy with the flower shaping ball tool.

Turn the flower over and use a slightly smaller ball tool in the centre of the flower – this will encourage the petals to lift.

Use a small amount of wet glue in the centre of one set of petals and offset another set of 3 petals ontop to glue into place.

Put a blob of hot glue in the centre of the poppy and cover in  black gala glitz. Allow the glue to harden.

Remove the excess gala glitz

Take a handful of raffia strands and tie them together in the centre with a piece of raffia.

Tie a 2^nd raffia string loosely approx. 6-7” further down the raffia and tease the  first section open.

Tie a 3^rd section quite tightly.

Check that the ties are in the right place to fit the scarf hanger and cut a few very thin black pieces of card.

Place the black strips of card under the lowest raffia tie and hot glue the raffia to the scarf hanger.

Position the poppies onto the wreath and begin to hot glue them into place.

Tuck some of the

smaller poppies amongst the raffia to give the effect that the poppies are falling off.

WOW

Just love the swirls and border in the Patchwork Daisy Collection

from Heartfelt Creations
Reminisce of days gone by when laughter filled quilting bees were a treasured outing filled with chatter, decadent dainties and a great sense of accomplishment at the end of the day! Little girls admiring beautiful hand-stitched quilts coming together under the direction of the hands of skillful seamstresses, as they imagine the day that they too will learn the secrets of perfect stitching and delicate embroidery. Let your mind wander back the days when pretty hand-stitched blankets lined Grandma’s clothes line, flapping in the breeze as daisies danced gently in the background! Join us as we remember simpler times with the old fashioned Patchwork Daisy Collection! Immerse yourself in designer papers filled with soft and gentle hues reminiscent of purple lavender filled fields, warm sunshine yellows, clear sky blues, and beautiful wildflower pinks. Feel the gentle warmth of a hand stitched quilt as you are embraced by dainty illustrations of tranquil florals, decorative patterns and delicate patchwork panels similar to those on Grandma’s finest coverlet! A wonderful array of beautifully detailed cling stamps, along with coordinating dies provide endless “embroidered and quilted” embellishments to adorn all of your handcrafted projects…from dainty daisy florals delicately illustrated, appearing to have been cut from decorative quilt blocks and then hand-stitched, to a wonderful assortment of graceful eyelet trim borders perfectly designed for “finishing” your handcrafted projects! The perfect assembling of decorative papers, clings stamps and coordinating dies to blend with the previously released Buttons and Blooms Collection! So, gather your crafty friends around the kitchen table…it’s time to laugh, snack, reminisce, and show off your creative handiwork!

I used a Rich Razzleberry card base which co-ordinated so beautifully

with the soft tones of the papers in the collection.

The sentiment from the thank you sentiments stamp set stamped and embossed so perfectly

And the daisy swirls, I know I shall use often . . . .

. . . I love the way they hold the bling in the centre.

The Leafy Accents are so versatile.
Matched with the OAKBERRY LANE FLOWERS - amazing

I love the way this card turned out - its just a little bit different and gives 2 panels perfect for showcasing the flowers.

The sentiment is from the ORNAMENTAL TAGS DIE

and it fits perfectly in the centre of this card

I made the card into 4 equal panels with the larger 5th panel in the centre, 

then added the larger flowers to the outer panels

I really enjoyed making this card, I love the shaping molds from HEARTFELT CREATIONS, they make the shaping so easy, effective and quick.
