White cardstock, lace, brads, Copic Markers: E53, E33, E35, C2, C3, C5, B21, B41, RV00, E50, YG03, YG23, YG17

For more tips on creating with the flower shaping molds, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE
Instructions:
Card size: 5 1/2 X 6”.  Cut white cardstock 9” X 5 3/4” then fold into thirds by scoring at 3” and 6”.  Use the largest tag in the Albums and Tags set to cut through 3 layers of cardstock, top only.  The card will end up 5 1/2" by 9” but will close to 5 1/2" X 6”.  Score the 2 end panels at 1 1/2" from edges (in half) again and fold.   Cut decorative paper for center and 2 sides, cutting them with the next size down tag making them just a bit smaller than the card base, trim at the bottom as necessary to leave a border.  Score the 2 end pieces to fit the card then glue paper to all panels (it helps to score it first so that it lays flat when glued).  Cut 2 white Swirly Border bases, glue them together (6”) to form a “bridge” for the card (make sure when you glue them to the 2 ends that the card can still fold down one direction or the other).  Cut 2 green Swirly Border decorative insides and glue them onto the bridge (cut where necessary so that they don’t overlap much).   

Stamp Window and birds on the branch using black, die cut then color with Copics (or whatever you like to color with).   Cut a piece of yellow for the open window but add some lace to it before gluing it to the back of the window (for curtains).   Glue it to the card while open, above the Swirly Borders then pop the birds and branch just below window on top of Swirly Borders.

Stamp blossom from the small set using Buttercup, Magenta Hue and Pink Peony.  Sponge blossoms with their stamp color, die cut then form in the Shaping Mold.  Stamp leaves using Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green, die cut and for in their Shaping Mold.  For the top flowers, layer 2 blossoms together, pierce centers and insert small stamen then medium stamen.  For the flowers on the branch below window, 1 layer flowers were used with only small stamen.

Glue all the 1 layer flowers to the branch on top of stamped flowers.  The other flowers (5 all together) are glued to the top of each end panel, 2 on one side and 3 on the other along with leaves (however many appeals to you).

For the sentiment inside center, Die cut the label from decorative paper and also cut a sentiment from decorative paper (Birthday Blessings used here). Add brads to the holes at each end and secure in the back.  Add dimensionals to the back of label, curl Birthday Blessings and glue onto label then remove dimensionals backing and adhere to the top center of card.  Glitter card and flowers with Rajni’s Crystal Clear.

In this time of world wide concern I have just the right scripture for you.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Also,
Joshua 1: 5b-6a and9b
 I will not leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage...
 9b...Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

HC PRODUCTS USED       

Other Products:
White cardstock-linen

For more tips on creating with the flower shaping molds, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE
Instructions:
4 1/2" across point to point (6 sides).   Cut 6 box sides and 2 bottoms out of white linen cardstock.  Cut 6 insets from Gold Luxe and 6 open hearts from Gold Luxe.  Glue the gold insets on all 6 sides, glue the gold hearts to all six top flaps.  Fold on all score lines, flatten then glue sides together using provided tabs.  Glue the inside bottom by folding tabs inward and lay bottom on top having glue on the tabs of course.  Now glue the other bottom to the outside, this makes it look finished inside and out.

Stamp flowers and leaves using clear embossing ink pad and emboss with gold powder.  Shape flowers and leaves in the shaping molds.  Glue 2 blossoms together for each flower then pierce the centers of each flower.  Insert several white small stamen and then 1 gold medium stamen for each flower.

Use a small piece of vellum or easy to tear away paper to arrange flowers and leaves then insert some of the cut off white wire from the medium stamen.  When all flowers are glued onto paper in an arrangement and glue is dry, tear away any excess paper then glue to 1 of the top flaps so that box can be opened and closed.

My second card features the Wild Rose Collection and the Rounded Sunlight Window Dies.

For more tips on creating with the flower shaping molds, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE
Instructions:
Card size: 6 X 6”.  Cover each round panel of the Bi-Fold with pink decorative paper.  Cut 3 gold eyelet borders using the 2 inside halves of the Sunlight Window Die and the outside of the Rounded Eyelet Window Die.  For the first panel only cut 2 Rounded Sunlight Window decorative inside dies from gold and 2 hinges from gold.  Cut 3 decorative inside round dies using 1 of the inside half dies but do not cut all the way, stop before reaching the center of paper, turn the die around and cut again without cutting all the way in half (you will have to clip a bit with scissors on top and bottom to complete the circle).

Glue the pink panels on then the gold and end with the decorative center pieces.  Glue just the centers of the 2 Sunlight Window halves, glue hinges in the center about 1/3 from top and 1/3 from bottom.

Stamp all sizes blossoms using Magenta Hue and Rose Madder, stamp leaves with Fern Green, Sponge leaves with Leaf Green, sponge Rose Madder blossoms with Pink Peony and sponge Magenta Hue with the same ink. Die cut, form in Shaping Molds then glue same size sets together. Pierce centers and insert small stamen in all flowers.  Place large pearl halves in the centers of the large flowers and insert medium stamen into the smaller flowers.

Stamp Wishing well, sign, bench and birds in the branch using black ink then color and die cut.  Glue the birds to the top of the front panel under windows (cut to fit).  Glue the sign and bench to the second panel and glue the wishing well to the last panel.

Glue smallest flowers to the wishing well.  Make a small arrangement over the top of sign on second panel and make the large arrangement on the front (you can place a piece of acetate between the decorative paper and the gold Sunlight Window to keep from gluing it shut or just let one side open and close for effect.

Use Rajni’s Crystal Clear on the flowers and Ultrafine Crystal for the paper on each panel to glitter.  Use shimmer gloss on the leaves.

Thanks for Visiting today!

HC Wild Rose Debut Foldout

Good morning to all my Heartfelt friends!
I love wild roses, they grow near the river below our house.

or more tips on creating with the border dies & foldout cards, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/wxX94X84kUo.

Instructions:
Card size: 5 1/2 X 5 3/4".   Cut decorative paper for each panel, front and back (see video).  Cut white borders for 3 panels, cut 1 small Elegant Pocket Accent (this will go at the top on back panel).  Cut 2 small white Fleur Borders and Pocket and 1 large Fleur Borders and Pockets.  Cut 2 white eyelet hearts and cut 1 white small inside of Regal Frame and Accents for 1 of the sentiments.

Cut out 5 tags from the sheet of tags that comes in the paper pack.  Tie yellow ribbons at the top of each tag.    Stamp and die cut the swans and the scroll using black ink then color with Copic Markers.  Stamp the sentiments “It must be love” and “congrats” using black.  The It must be love is stamped on the heart and the congrats is stamped on decorative paper that is then die cut with the small inside of the Regal Frame and Accents die.

Stamp the blossoms with Magenta Hue and with Buttercup, sponge then die cut and shape in the molds.  Glue 3 layers of blossoms together for the large flower and 2 layers for the other flowers, pierce then insert small stamen.  For the largest 2 flowers glue pearls in the center,  For the other flowers insert a medium stamen.  Stamp leaves with Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green, die cut and shape in the mold.  Cut 2 green decorative paper Swirly Borders and 1 Swirly Border from flower decorative paper.  Now it is time to decorate the card.

Glue corresponding papers to their card panels and glue the borders at the top cutting off excess.  Glue the Elegant Pocket Accent onto the top of the back panel.  Glue large Eyelet Heart under back border then glue the smaller Eyelet Heart with the sentiment on top.  Glue the swans under the sentiment.  Glue 2 flowers and leaves to the top right side.

Next panel, glue right side and bottom of the large Fleur Pockets and Accents to the right side (leave top open for 3 of the 5 tags.

The 3rd panel in from the back has a small Fleur Pocket glued to the right side (glue only bottom and right side).  Also glue one of the green Swirly Borders on.  Glue a flower at the top right side.  Insert 1 of the tags into pocket.

Last little panel, glue the congrats with white frame to the right side, part of a green Swirly to the left side and a flower to the left side.

Front of little last panel, glue the scroll to the left side, the rest of the green Swirly to the right side and glue 3-4 flowers with leaves all around.

The last panel to decorate can only be seen when the card is closed. The back side of the panel closest to the back.  Glue the flower paper Swirly to the right side and the last small Fleur Pocket to the left side (Glue left side and bottom only).  Insert the last tag then glue 2 more flowers with leaves to the top left.

The last thing to do is glitter all the flowers with Rajni’s Crystal Clear and glitter all panels with Ultrafine Crystal Transparent, gloss all leaves with shimmer gloss.




My second card also features the wild roses but has a completely different look using silver paper for the new square dies and a purple base layer.  I also used multiple layers for these flowers, a little like the peony.

For more tips on creating with the flower shaping molds, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE
Instructions:
Card size: 6 X 6”.  Cut a piece of purple decorative paper 6 X 6” and glue it to the card base.  Glitter paper.  Cut all pieces of the Courtyard Elegance out of silver. Glue them to the purple ending with the last square going on at a diamond. Add a large clear rhinestone to center.

Stamp all sizes of Wild Rose enough times to have several layers on the large flower using Majestic Violet, sponge, die cut, shape in mold (see video).  Stamp leaves from the large Wild Rose set and from the Leafy Accents using Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green and flower colors, die cut and shape in molds.  Stamp 2 Wild Aster Sprays using Fern Green, die cut then add Lilac Prills.  Stamp Lilacs, sponge using Majestic Violet and Deep Purple, die cut and shape on a piece of foam (or in a shaping mold if you have it) then add green Prills.

I wanted to see how the Wild Rose would look with a lot of layers so my large flower has about 7 layers to it.  I really like it, It looks like a totally different flower.   The other Wild Rose flowers have 2 and 3 layers each.  I used Rock Candy and Bead Stamen in all the Wild Rose flower centers.  Gloss the leaves and glitter the flowers.

Arrange flowers around bottom and left side of the inner silver circle, add leaves and lilac filler flowers.  Cut apart the Wild Aster Sprays and insert those where needed to complete the arrangement.  The last thing is to add a banner sentiment.  I always curl those but you don’t have to.  Glue it to the card starting at arrangement and angling up towards the right corner.
