Heartfelt Creations - Peaceful Woodsy Woodland Card




Welcome! 
Today is Inspiration Wednesday for Heartfelt Creations.     
We are on week 2 for the wonderful


I love this collection!   As you know from last week - we have all the fun woodsy creatures but we also have great stamp elements like this log, grass, flowers and bushes.    This fits perfectly  in the foreground for the wonderful scenic backgrounds that come with the paper collection!

Close up




  • Create a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch top fold card from heavy white card-stock.     Select the blue paper from the Woodsy Woodland Paper Collection and create a base layer at 5 1/4 x 5 1/3 inches.   Select the Scenic picture as seen in the card from the mat section in the Woodsy Collection.    Cut at 5 x 5 inches.   See what a great background it makes for your card?    


  • Stamp the log, flowers, grass, leafy bushes and mouse image on X-Press It Blending Card-Stock using Memento Tuxedo Black Dye Ink.  The image is one stamp so that makes it so easy to create your focal scene!  Color   the image using Copic Alcohol Ink Products or your ink of choice.   The image was colored with flicking motions in a lateral direction.   Keeping the coloring in one direction (lateral) gives the appearance of texture and you can see the levels of bark pop up.   Sharp edges are used for the bark so avoid over blending.  


  • The following Color Combo was used for my image - 
  • Log - E00, E11, E13, E33, E35, E45, E 49
  • Grass - G40, G28, YG61, YG63
  • Leafy Bushes - YG 01, YG23, YB63
  • Flowers - V11, V09,   V20, V22
  • Mouse - C1, C3, C4


  • The image was die cut using the  corresponding Woodsy Wonderland Die.   Three additional layers were cut using brown card-stock and adhered to the back for form a thickness like chipboard.  This will add strength to the image when it's popped up from the scenic background.    The layers of the focal image were adhered with Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.  


  • The  base layer and scenic layer  were adhered and then applied to the card base using double sided tape. This adds extra strength for images that have weighted embellishments.    


  • The focal image was added with foam dimensional dots.   I love how the image pops up from the background scene and gives it dimension and texture. 


  • Your card is now ready to give to someone special!

The Fold Out Card - White, HCCFl-443-2 was selected.    This is a card base that is measures 4 1/2 inches x 5 1/2 inches when folded.  The fold out card base comes cut and pre-scored.   It doesn't get much better than that!    

The blue and green designer paper was selected from the  Pampered Pooches Collection.  The border die that matched  the curve on your flip-fold card was selected.  The border die was aligned on the designer paper and cut to fit the panels with a 1/8 inch border on sides and bottom.   A navy layer was cut for the last panel with a 1/8 inch margin.   The green designer paper with the dog collar was cut 1/4 inches smaller  on the top and side than the navy layer.   This gives a 1/8 inch border. 

The Fleur Border Die was used to cut the beautiful scalloped  border.  The layers were adhered with the Fleur Border sandwiched between the card base and designer paper.   

The sentiment was taken from the "Your Pawfect" Cling Stamp Set.   Memento Tuxedo Black ink was used to stamp the sentiment on white card stock.  A nesting circle die was used to cut the sentiment and a larger nesting die was used to create the navy sentiment mat.   The sentiment was popped up using dimensional foam dots.   

The flowers are created from  the Classic Rose Collection Cling Stamp set and coordinating die.   The roses were stamped using Memento Summer Sky and the leaves were stamped with Memento Olive Grove  Ink.  The images were  cut with the coordinating die.   The flowers were  sponged with the Summer Sky Ink and lightly misted on the back They were shaped using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Tool Kit.   The leaves were lightly sponged with Memento Olive Grove Ink.  They ere lightly spritzed with a water mini mister and highly shaped.  The flowers were adhered with Designer Adhesive - Dries Clear.   Emma Lou has a wonderful tutorial on creating roses HERE  



I love the Pampered Pooch Collection so much, I just had to create a second card for this week!

Instruction
Create a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch card using heavy white card stock.  I cut a 5 1/2 inch x 11 inch piece of heavy card stock and scored it  at 5 1/2 inches  using  the Score-Pal Measuring & Score Board.     The base layer was cut at 5 1/4 x 51/4 inch using  apricot card stock.  I cut this  twice.  The designer layer was  cut 5 x 5  twice.   Adhere the layers to the front and the inside  using double sided tape.  

Texture paste was  spread over the right lower corner over a stencil with a cute paw image.  I allowed the texture paste to dry.  It takes a few hours to fully dry.  If you are in a hurry, you can use a heat tool but be careful to not scorch the paste or designer paper. 

A circle nesting die was used  to  cut a circle through the layers of card stock at  the upper right hand side of the card.  I selected  designer paper with images of paws and cut a circle with two nesting die in order to create a band that would  mat the circle.   This will give it a finished look. 

The little pooch was stamped on  X-Press It Blending Card Stock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.   The pooch was colored using Copic Alcohol Ink Markers - C3, C5, C7, C9, R20, R22, R24.  The image was die cut using the coordinating die. I closed the front of the card flap and applied the colored  image from the front in order to center properly.  The pup's head was adhered using dimensional foam dots.  

I created a Daisy  flower embellishment.  I used Delightful Daisies Cling Stamp Set and Delightful Daisy die.   I stamped the image using Versamark Ink and white embossing powder.  The flowers were heat set.  The flowers were sponged with Fossilized Amber and Squeezed Lemon  Distress Ink.    I stamped the leaf using Tuxedo Black Dye ink.  The leaves were sponged using Olive Grove Die Ink.  

 The images were lightly spritzed with a mini mister on the underside to soften the fibers and shaped using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Tool Kit.   The layers of petals were adhered using Designer Adhesive - clear.   Prills were applied to the center.  I used the Ribbit bottle that came with the 12 pack set. Designer Adhesive - dries clear was applied to the leaves and sprinkled with Tailings Earth Textures Elements.   

The flower and leaves were applied using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.

Heartfelt Creations - I Wuff You




Hello and Welcome!   

It's Inspiration Wednesday for Heartfelt Creations!   
We get to play with  the Pampered Pooches Collection!   
This collection is super cute!   


Pampered Pooch Designer Paper Collection, HCDP1-275
Pampered Pooch Cling Stamp Set, HCPC-3762
Classic Rose Cling Stamp Set, HCPC-3752
Classic Rose Die, HCD1-7110
Cut Mat Create 2B, HCD2-752
Cut Mat Create 2A, HCD2-751
Ranger Embossing Powder - White -  RPEJ685
Memento Dy Ink Pad - Olive Grove, TSMP708





Heavy weight white card stock, navy blue card stock, X-Press It Blending Card Stock,  light yellow card stock,  olive green card stock, Misty,  double sided tape, paper trimmer, mini mister,  colored pencils, Copic alcohol ink markers, pink and white Bakers Twine,  Champagne Glitter Pen, heat tool  and Versamark Ink Pad 




  • The card base was cut at 5 1/2 x 11 inches heavy weight white card stock.  Using the Scor-Pal Measuring & Scoring Board, score  at 5 1/2 inches and fold away from the groove to prevent cracking.   


  • The base layer was cut at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches using navy blue card stock.  The designer paper was selected from the Pampered Pooch Collection and cut at 5 x 5 inches.   I chose to cut another set of layers to adhere to the inside.  I adhered the layers using double sided tape.   The double sided tape will allow the layers to securely adhere to the card base even when heavier flower arrangements are applied.


  • The adorable pooch image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black on X-Press It Blending Card Stock.   The image was coloring with the following Copic Markers E11, E31, E33, E35,  E15, Y11, R20, R22, R24, B00, B21, B24, RV11, RV32, RV34, G21, YG63, YG68.  I love texture so I added brown colored pencils to the puppy on top of the Copic markers.  Avoid coloring over the pencil with your Copic markers.    I loved the bubbles that was on the image so I added a few more bubbles for fun.   


  • The focal image and mat were cut using Cut Mat Create 2B and 2A die.   I also cut an additional white mat for the inside of the card to allow space for a personal message. 


  • The Sentiment was cut from the designer paper collection.   I love that all of  Heartfelt Creations designer paper collections come with sheets of papers that have  great tags, mats and sentiments.    


  • The Classic Rose Collection was stamped on light yellow card stock using  a Versamark Ink Pad and Ranger Embossing Powder - white.  The flowers were heat set and allowed to cool.    The leaves were stamped on green card stock using a Memento Olive Grove Ink Pad.  The leaves and flowers were shaped using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.   I gently misted the under side of the petals to soften the fibers prior to shaping with the tools.  Emma Lou has a fabulous tutorial for shaping the flowers HERE.  


  • Baker Twine was coiled and applied to the card using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.   The matted focal image was adhered using dimensional foam dots.   The floral arrangement was adhered using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.   The sentiment was applied using a small piece of the foam dot and Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.   For a little sparkle - a dot of Champagne Glitter Pen was applied to the side of the sentiment tag.  


  • Your card is now ready to give to someone special!
