Heartfelt Creations Buttons & Blooms debut

Good morning!

Beautiful floral fabric, delicate trimmings and charming buttons accompanied by delicate handstitch work, and precise patchwork become a most exquisite project in the hands of an experienced seamstress! While sewing may not be a talent gifted to everyone, you can now experience the same stunning results in your paper crafts with the Buttons and Blooms Collection from Heartfelt Creations! An inviting paper collection bound in delightfully vibrant hues of bright blues, happy yellows, pretty pinks and robust reds boast alluring patterns of dainty florals, fun filled polka dots and quilt like patterns which will beckon you to caress them as you would the beautiful bolts of material found in your favorite fabric store! “Applique” cards and scrapbook pages quickly and with ease using the striking yet functional premade card panels designed in varying sizes and patterns! Embellish your handmade creations with a variety of hand-stitched accents found in the gorgeous assembling of cling stamp sets and coordinating dies. Choose from delicately embroidered sentiments, stitched banners, charming patchwork pockets, decorative patches and rick rack trim, all lending that personal handmade touch to your crafty creations! Lastly, “hem” your projects with fetching blossoms that have been skillfully illustrated to give them the appearance of having been cut from patchwork fabric! Designed in three varying sizes, these pleasing posies are ideal for using as flat embellishments, or layered to create wonderful dimensional blooms! So, come along with us…grab your shears, patterned papers and patchwork die cuts and let’s head into the craft room! Bobbins, threads and sewing machines not required! 

I used lots of Crystal Lacquer on the paper buttons 

and added a sprinkle of glitter too!

I also used real buttons.

Stamp button set with Tiger Lily, Butter Cup, Rose Madder and Paradise Teal on white (makes 4 sets) then sponge color on lightly and die cut each set. Add Crystal Lacquer to the buttons and sprinkle with glitter then set aside to dry.  Stamp flowers in the same way excluding the teal, sponge color and die cut the sets.  Form flowers using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit and then glue flower layers together making 3 different sizes of flowers.   Thread real buttons with floss and glue to the centers of flowers.  Sponge adhesive onto flowers and sprinkle on some of Rajni Chawla’s Crystal Clear.

Starting with the largest flower in the bottom left corner, start arranging flowers on the card around the sentiment and glue in place.  Add lacquered buttons to the arrangement.  Pop up a lacquered button on each of the frames corners, the card is finished.
