New Flower Happy Birthday

Good morning!
Today I've used the Hyacinth and the Daffodil to make 
completely different flowers.
At the bottom I've used the Daffodil bottoms only to make
one new flower and the tops to make a different flower.
The daffodil tops make a cute bell flower.
The bottoms make any number of pretty petaled flowers.
The hyacinth blossoms do very well making 
small filler flowers.

Instructions:

Card size: 4 5/8 X 7 1/8”.  Cut cardstock 7 ¼ X 11, fold in half then cut with the Lattice Flourish Die leaving the left side off the fold.  Cut another front from white and a lavender decorative paper front.  Cut the decorative die from silver and glue it onto the lavender.  Glue the silver Happy Birthday to the opening of the decorative die.

Stamp Hyacinth blossoms, the Daffodils (small), and butterflies using an aqua ink (I used Spa),   sponge with aqua and Chartreuse, die cut and shape in the molds.  All the flowers on this card are made from the Hyacinth and Daffodils stamps and dies just rearranged to make new flowers.  The daffodil bottoms form the large flowers using the pollen stamen in the centers.  The daffodil tops form another flower with the Rose Hip Stamen and medium Pearl Stamen for centers.  The Hyacinth blossoms form the rest of the flowers with Rock Candy stamen died purple  Stamp leaves with Fern Green and sponge with Leaf Green, die cut and shape in mold.  Stamp and die cut 2 small zinnia using Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green and use for Sepals under the cup flowers.

Arrange large flowers in the left bottom corner then add the 2 cup flowers and leaves.  Glue the small Hyacinth blossom flowers with purple stamen around the left side and top then fill in with leaves.  Glitter all the flowers.  Mix gloss with shimmer additive and paint the leaves with the mix.

Have you ever felt like you have done things that just can't be forgiven?  Most of us have, I certainly have but not anymore.  When you realize that God loves you so much and wants you with Him forever that He sent His Son to "pay for your sins" Himself by dying for us then you know that you can be forgiven and you can become a new person inside.  I have experienced this super love, this fantastic freedom, this miracle of the heart.  God says in His word that if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is the Christ and that He died and rose again from the dead (which there are many witnesses of that fact) then you will be saved and your sins (EVERYONE has sinned) will be forgiven never to be remembered by Him again! Below is just 1 small portion of scripture but believe me, there is a ton, to reassure you of His love.

John 3:15-17

15 that whoever believes in Him should [c]not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Card size: 4 3/4 X 6 3/4".  Follow video for making a shaped card (on 5 X 7 Decorative Frame Dies) then cut another white front and also a decorative paper front (shades of green to lavender used here).  Cut decorative large die from white and from lavender.  Cut the smaller oval decorative die from variegated green to lavender like the card base.  Cut an oval of foam sheet to pop up decorative oval.  Cut a foam oval to pop up first large decorative die as well.  Glue foam under large die then glue to card, glue second smaller oval foam to the back of smaller decorative die then glue to card.

Stamp sentiment onto white using Deep Purple then die cut with oval, glue to card center.

Stamp Hyacinth blossoms using Deep Purple (about 18 total blossoms), sponge edges after die cutting then shape in the mold.  Glue 2 blossoms for each flower (this is another way to use this flower set). Fill with light green Prills.   Stamp Cherry Blossoms using Vivid Chartreuse on white, die cut and glue 2 per flower.  Fill with lavender Prills. Stamp, sponge and die cut leaves then shape in mold (one of my favorite molds!) 

 Arrange flowers and leaves around left side and a bit at top right corner.  Glitter flowers and randomly glitter card.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not [a]fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

You Are Thoughtful Hyacinth

Good morning! 
Today I have a Hyacinth card for you to see
I also made a crocus with the daffodil stamp and die.
All these wonderful spring flowers are ushering

For more ideas on creating with the 5 x 7 Decorative Frame Dies, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/qdBFA5VpmSo.

Instructions:

Card size: 4 3/4 X 6 3/4".  See video above (5 X 7 Decorative Dies) for making a shaped card.  Make the card with heavy white cardstock.  Cut another front of white and of light purple decorative paper then glue both to card front.  Cut the decorative pieces of the Elaborate Ovals die out of silver. Use foam to pop up the first large silver die onto card front.  Cut the pretty oval’ish tag from Album Tags out of white and the inner one out of purple, cut out of foam sheet as well to pop up.  Glue the foam under the tags then glue to center of card.  Glue the smaller silver decorative oval to the tags.

Stamp the sentiment with Deep Purple onto light purple decorative paper, die cut with small oval and die cut a mat with a slightly larger oval out of white.  Glue the ovals with sentiment to silver decorative oval in the center of card.

Stamp the bottom half of the small daffodil using Deep Purple 2 times (including butterflies), sponge with same inside and out, die cut and form so that it forms a cup with stamped side out to make a crocus.  Use the Petunia small to make a sepal for flower base.  Stamp the leaves from the Urn stamp set using London Fog and color with Copics in greens for crocus.  Glue them all together and add (die orange) stamen.  Glue 2 butterflies together folding the wings up of the top butterfly.  Add an orange rhinestone for the head.

Stamp 2 Hyacinth (small) using London Fog and then color leaves and sponge Hyacinth. Stamp about 15  for each Hyacinth, of the small flowers to be glued onto the Hyacinth using Deep Purple.  Sponge both sides with a combo of Deep Purple and of Majestic Violet.  Mold in the shaping mold.  Use a hot glue gun to attach small flowers to each Hyacinth.  Add green Prills to the center of each small flower.

Glue the Hyacinth at the bottom of card so that leaves are even with the bottom point of card base (this helps it to stand straight when on display, I also added a square piece of white cardstock under leaves to help with that).  On top of the Hyacinth at the center bottom, glue the crocus with leaves making sure to keep everything one level at the bottom.  Glitter the flowers and glitter the card base randomly as well using a sponge with glue.  See Emma Lou’s videos (any of the latest flower making videos for this method of glittering).

Daffodil Tutorial

 Good morning!  

This is a step by step tutorial for making a daffodil easel card.  This tutorial can also be seen at Heartfelt Creations Blog site Saturday March 13, 2021 as well, just click on the blog tab.


Finished project



Step by step instructions
 Step 1: Cut a piece of heavy weight water cardstock to 6” X 12”, fold in half to make a 6 X 6” card.  Place the outer die of Decorative Circle Frames on the cardstock so that top of die hangs over the folded edge to avoid cutting fold.



 Step 2: Use a score board to make a score line at 3” past middle score (9” mark).  Fold top 3” down.



Step 3 Cut another piece of white cardstock (for the front) and 2 pieces of decorative paper (front and inside) using the outer die then cut 2 decorative die from Decorative Circle Frames out of white, 1 for the front and 1 inside.  Glue the white front to the easel matching bottom edges of 3” fold down (this creates the easel action).  Cover front and inside with decorative paper then decorative white dies.

Step 4 Cut 2 Scallop lavender paper circles then 2 Ornate Oval Frames (smaller decorative oval) from white and 2 inner ovals from lavender.  (all the lavender came from 1 piece of decorative paper). Glue to card front and inside in order above.  Pop up decorative oval if desired.




Step 5 Stamp Daffodils using Cantaloup Memento then sponge with Buttercup Archival, die cut, sponge the backs and use the shaping mold to form. Before making the daffodil cups, use a Golf Groove Tool to curl edges outward, then form cups and glue together.




Step 6 For the daffodil that stands straight up on card, use 2 bottoms together to form 6 bottom petals.  For the other 2 daffodils use only 1 bottom so that the daffodils lay on their sides easier.  Insert Stamen.


Step 7 Stamp the filler using New Sprout or other very light green, die cut then sponge edges again.  Cut these apart to use as needed when finishing the arrangement.



Step 8 Decorate front using pearls and flowers made (use pearls on the inside too).  Save 1 flower for the inside, this will be used as a “stop” for the easel.


Step 9 Stamp Just for You and You are So thoughtful on white using Cantaloup then die cut with curve top tag die in the Album Tags and Accents Die set.  Tie yellow bows and attach tags and bows to the card front and inside.

Step 10 See photo above Use a large pearl inside to mark your spot for the easel stop then glue last daffodil to the inside so that petals rest at card front.  Cut petals as needed to get the look you like best.  Add some filler and make sure you can still see the sentiment.

Daffodil Bouquet

Good morning!
We thought last month's daffodils were pretty (and they were),
This month we can make them 3D.

Sometimes I think you guys are mind reader
many of you came out with your own form of 3-D daffodils 
after last month's release not knowing that
we already had the 3-D daffodils for this month!
You guys are amazing!
At the moment we are all making samples for
June...bet you can't guess!!!

White Cardstock, green cardstock, Alcohol Inks-Yellow, green, orange and pink, jelly jar, iridescent Easter basket filler, embossing Ink Pad

For more tips on creating with the flower shaping molds, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/FSdPL7nXvQE

Jar is 2 X 2 ½”, Project 6 ½” tall.  Stamp enough small daffodils (both parts) for 3 flowers using yellow. Sponge backs and edges with yellow.  Run flowers through the shaping mold.  Glue 2 bottom pieces together for each flower.  Glue half circle top part of daffodil together at ends and fold bottom tabs up.  Glue the top “cup” onto the bottom base.  Stamp enough small daffodil (bottom only) using purple to make 3 “crocus”, sponge with purple on both sides and on edges.  Glue 2 bottoms together for each flower make a small bowl stamp side out.   Stamp Hydrangea using embossing fluid pad and emboss with white on white.  Make 7 flowers with 2 layers each.  For the small white flowers use 1 white beaded stamen in each.  For the daffodil use the yellow pollen stamen and for the purple crocus use orange pollen and orange medium pearl stamen (dye the pearl stamen with orange alcohol ink).

Make long Daffodil leaves with green cardstock, hand cut about 5 leaves and curl ends. 

Color jar with alcohol inks.  Fill with Iridescent filler then fill with flowers and leaves (glue in place with hot glue).   Glitter flowers. 


My second card uses the new Gateway Fold cards with this month's release AND last month's.

 Card size: 5 X 7”, open: 7 X 15”.  Use the 3 panel Gateway Fold Card base.  Cut 3 white Teardrop Lattice Gateway decorative parts inside and out.  Cut 3 yellow decorative paper panels to fit the card base using the plain outer die. Glue the yellow panels on then the decorative white panels. 

Cut 1 small bottom and 1 small daffodil top using Buttercup ink to make one flattened small Daffodil.  Cut 2 large bottoms and 2 large daffodil tops using Buttercup to make 1 large flattened daffodilish type flower.  Stamp 2 small Zinnia using green for flower bases.  Use several yellow beaded stamen for each flower (leave wires to make stems). Wrap “stems” with floral tape. Stamp the little butterflies  using purple and sponge with purple, die cut.

 Stamp 2 arched and 2 straight Daffodil Sprays using black memento (if using Copic Markers).  Stamp 1 large daffodil from Delightful Daffodils & Hyacinth. Die cut all and color.  Stamp the swan and Sentiment using London Fog (or black) die cut and color. 

On the first panel (showing when closed) add a bit of blue decorative paper to the bottom of the inside arched gateway (for a lake).  Glue and pop up swan on lake, add Calla Lilies on both side.  Add 1 arched daffodil sprays to the bottom but before gluing the left side slide stems in under left side then glue.  Glue a double butterfly at the top right.

Glue the sentiment to the middle of panel 2 then glue an arched spray to the top and a straight spray at the bottom.

Glue the large daffodil to the bottom of the 3rd panel and the last straight spray over the stem at the very bottom.  Glue the butterfly to the top left side.

 Glitter the flowers with Crystal Clear and randomly glitter the card panels with Ultrafine.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

I love these verses but more, I love Psalm 139 in whole, it also tells of God's intimate knowledge of our being...

13

For You formed my inward parts;
You [f]covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for [g]I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My [h]frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

So much I love.  I thoroughly LOVE the whole WORD of GOD.
