Heartfelt Creations Vintage Winter Box Card

Today I had some fun with a Vintage Winter Box Card.  

I used the gorgeous paper, stamp and die sets from Heartfelt Creations' August release - 

Snow Kissed Collection

When I think of the Winter Holidays and Christmas, I think of "Vintage".  

I love the vintage theme that takes us to memories past.    

Thank made me want to create a vintage themed card 

that has the crisp and chilly feel of Winter.

 White card stock, navy blue card stock, opaque white ink, Vintage Photo Distresss Ink, Weathered Wood Distress Ink,  diecut/embossing machine, paper trimmer, double sided tape,  Star Dust  Clear Stickles,  self adhesive silver pearls, Box Card SVG Kit - from svgcuts.com

The box card was cut from the Box Card SVG Kit from svgcuts.com.   The layers were cut from navy blue card stock and the light blue designer paper from  the Snow Kissed Paper Collection.  The spruce tree was stamped on the background of the designer paper using Weathered Wood Distress Ink.   I continued to stamp 3 times with the stamp without re-inking in order to give a dimensional look.  I repeated the process.  

 The box was easy to assemble with the directions that came with the kit.  I omitted the design elements that came with the SVG Box  Kit (see other product list).   I substituted various sizes of spruce trees, a tag from Luggage and Tag's Die set and  snowflakes.  For the tag, I selected designer paper that had a snowman image.  Silver pearls were adhered to the center of the snowflakes.

The edges of the box card was sponged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink for that vintage look.  The box was embellished with Star Dust Stickles.    I love how the card folds flat for mailing.

Thank you 

so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed my vintage box card.  

I hope you check out all the August stamps and die from heartfelt Creations 

and come back and see the new September release next week.

Heartfelt Creations - Winter Sleigh Ride

Today's card is a sleigh ride stamp set from Heartfelt Creations August Release - 

Snow Kissed Collection.   

I remember living in Colorado and going into the mountains for a delightful sleigh ride to a log cabin.    

It looks like the one in this image.    

Once we arrived, there was a wonderful prime rib dinner and hot spiced cider waiting for us!   

I will never forget the magical time we had.

Celebrate the Season - Winter Fun!

Hello and Welcome! 

It's time to share another project for Heartfelt Creations!   

This is week two of our "Celebrate the Season Collection" for July.    

I just love to  create projects that showcase the magical time of winter holidays! 

I created a skate to coordinate with the ice skate in the Celebrate the Season Collection.   I also added a poinsettia from the Sparkling Poinsettia stamp and die collection.    

I can almost hear the sound of the skates as they glide along the ice!

Instructions

 Cut the skate SVG file using an electronic die cutting machine.   Use white card stock for the base and Celebrate the Season Paper Collection for the designer layers.  The sole, heal  and blade was  cut from silver card stock.  The skate was assembled according to  the directions that came with the file.  The blades were lightly coated with 3 D Crystal Lacquer and coated with Crystal Gala Glitz.    

The skate was colored with Copic Alcohol ink markers with BG10, BG10, BG53, BG57, BG09, C5 and c3.  They were die cut with the coordinating Celebrate the Season Die.  Two additional skates were cut from dark blue green card stock.  The layers were adhered with foam dots in-between each layer to add dimension.  The skate blades were coated with 3 D Crystal lacquer and coated with Crystal Gala Glitz.  

Stamp the poinsettia from Sparkling Poinsettia Cling Stamps with embossing ink and sprinkle with white embossing powder on vellum.   Lightly heat set from the under side in order to avoid scorching the vellum.   The poinsettia layers were lightly sponged with Memento Summer Sky Dy Ink.  

Die cut the poinsettias with the coordinating die.  Gently shape the flower using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.   Adhere the layers of the flower and adhere with Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.  White pearls were applied to the center.    

The skate was embellished with sequins, the poinsettia and the colored skate from Celebrate the Season Cling Stamp set and die. 

This skate can be filled with treats and hung on an ornament holder or from the wall.  The possibilities are endless!

I hope you enjoyed this little project as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Deck the Halls

"Color Me Creative Classroom" is having another fun challenge. The inspiration comes from this great picture...



I decided to use some of the festive holiday colors for my card and used the and the christmas ornaments for inspiration for my card.



The edges of my layers look very "frazzeled" but then... Sophie the cat looks pretty "frazzeled" too. Guess it is time to change my cutting blade.

Thank you for stopping by!
