Special Moments to Remember

Happy New Year!   It's 2018 and I wonder what your hopes and dreams are for the new year...  Beyond the usual plan to lose a few pounds, I plan to take more time learning watercolor and oil painting.   I also plan on traveling more and to take a class by Annie Lebovitz in Photography!    My trips for the New Year will be a 21 day rail trip across Canada and a 21 day trip in France.    Now that's a big agenda!

And now for our Heartfelt Creations Camelia Carnation card for this week.     I decided to create a window card that will have some dimension bt not enough to prevent it from being mailed in a mailer.    I also wanted to create a card that can be used for any occasion.

Dark Green Cardstock, Ranger Clear Crackle Paint, heat tool, double sided tape, rhinestones, Copic Alcohol Ink Markers (Flower - RV81, RV83, RV69, RV17, RV21 and  Leaves - YG91, YG93, YG95,  YG99,  YG03).



Cut heavy white cardstock at 5 1/2 x 11 in.   Score at 5 1/2 in. to create a top folding card.  Cut the green cardstock at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches.   Find the designer paper with the water scene and cut at 5 x 5 inches.

 Adhere the layers  with double sided tape and  cut a window using the large Eyelet Oval and Basics Large Die.    Also cut a white eyelet  frame using the same die set to adhere around the outer edge of the window using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.   The die nest perfectly and creates a beautiful eyelet around the window.

Apply Ranger Clear Crackle paste to the corners of the card and sprinkle with Rajni's Frosting Powder.   Heat set.   The longer the heat is applied to the powder and crackle paint, the  puffier the frosting.   The amount of puffiness will be a personal preference.

Stamp the Fanciful Carnation Cling Stamp on X-Press It Blending Cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.   Color the image with Copic Alcohol Ink Markers (Flower - RV81, RV83, RV69, RV17, RV21 and  Leaves - YG91, YG93, YG95,  YG99,  YG03).

Cut the  Fanciful Die four times from green cardstock and adhere  together with clear adhesive.  Adhere the colored image on top and allow to dry.   This will give some dimensional and allow the flower to "pop".     Using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive, adhere the flower to the window, as shown on the picture.   Apply three rhinestones at the upper right hand side of the card.

Stamp the flower petals from the Large Camelia Carnation stamp set onto white cardstock using Peanut Brittle Memento ink.  Cut with the corresponding die.  Stamp the leaves from the corresponding sets using Olive Grove ink onto green cardstock.    Sponge the  center of the flowers with Fossilized Amber Distress ink and the edges with Tangelo.  Sponge the leaves with Olive Grove ink.   Lightly mist and place the petals in the 3D Floral Mold and run through your die/embossing machine.   A small amount of additional shaping was done with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.   The petals  were off-set and  adhered  with Designer Dries Clear Adhesive. You can refer to the video I have linked  for shaping instructions.  The leaves were slightly shaped with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.   A light coat of Ranger clear Crackle Paint was applied to the petals and leaves, sprinkled with Rajni's Frosting Powder and heat set.   The flowers, leaves and pearl embellishments were adhered to the card with a glue gun.

The sentiment was fussy cut from the Camelia Carnation Paper Collection,  tucked under the flowers on the lower left hand side and adhered with Dries Clear Adhesive. 

I hope you have a safe Holiday, a wonderful and prosperous New Year and success in all your endeavors for the 2018!

SVG file - Santa's Sweets,  electronic die cutter,  green cardstock, candy canes, pipe cleaners, felt pom poms, texture paste, palate knife, google eyes, glue gun, Copic Markers for candy cane house trim -  (R20, R22, R24, R27),  flower rhinestone, 

Using Santa's Sweets SVG file, cut the house with an electronic die cutter. The svg file can be found HERE.    The step by step instructions are included and very straight forward.   Use the Camelia Carnation Designer Paper for the trim and panels.   The candy cane embellishments on the corners of the house were cut on white cardstock and the candy cane coloring was applied with Copic alcohol ink markers - (R20, R22, R24, R27).

Apply texture or molding paste to the roof and sides of the house.   Sprinkle with Crystal Clear Glitter while the texture paste is still wet.  Allow to air dry.     

Cut the poinsettias and holly using the Poinsettia and Holly Cluster stamp set.    Sponge the poinsettias with Lipstick Red ColorBox Ink and the Holly with Olive Grove Ink.   The tips of the Stack and Store Daubers are pointed and work well with the small flowers.    Lightly mist the petals and shape with the Poinsettia and Holly Cluster mold.   Additional shaping can be done with the Deluxe Flower Shaping tool, if desired.   Yellow prills were adhered to the centers with Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.  Adhere to the reindeer house.   

The candy cane reindeer were created with pipe stems, google eyes and little red pom poms.  A glue gun works best but be careful of your fingers!  The flower rhinestone was adhered to the front of the door with Dries Clear Adhesive.   

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a safe and wonderful Holiday Season!
