Happy Morning!

A very good morning to a happy bright Sunday! Welcome all my readers to another post where I create with Susan's Flower dies. Working with sunflower has been one of my most enjoyable moment and that too always.

The bright color, vibrance and its largeness has always captures me. Today I have a semi mixed media ( if i may name so) canvas featuring the sunflower.

The canvas is prepared by a thin layer of Gesso on which all the coloring and the texturing is created. Later the bouquet is assembled.

I would love to hear from you! Thanks for stopping by and soon will be back with some more fun creative projects.

Happy Wednesday ! Christmas Rosette

Hello friends, by this time as you know its Christmas already at heartfelt Creations! We all are happy creating Christmas Cards and you would witness the beautiful cards and projects at the blog by all the talented designers from across the world.

Today I chose to create a Rosette instead of a Card. I love the concept of rosette however never made one in the past so the theme was absolutely apt for me to create one this time.

Instructions

The final rosette measures 6" in diameter. Cut 2piece of 3" x 12" strip from the HCDP1-280 Festive Holly Paper Collection. Score at 1/8" of regular intervals. Join the 2 12" strips and fold the scores at regular mountain and valley. Join the 2 ends to with glue gun place it on a small piece of paper to form the rosette. 

Die cut 2 pieces using the circle die with 1/8inch less and adhere to each other. Stamp and die cut multiple pieces from the HCD1-7146 Festive Holiday Die and stamp using Frosted Amber distress oxide.Shade and shape the sides of the holly leaves using frosted Amber and Iced Pruce distress ink.Once colored heat set the leaves using Rajni Chawla's frosted powder.

For the snoow also I have used the Frosting powder by Rajni Chawla on top of the berries and leaves.

First place the rosette and then place the stack of die cut circles. Adhere and arrange the cluster of holly leaves and berries on a base of mesh and some dry artificial leaves.To finish sprinkled and heat set some snow using the frosted powder.

Hello Everyone,

This is a continuation of my earlier post " Bold and Beautiful". I am writing this post specially for 2 challenges that inspired me and help me in the idea.

So let me show you a project glimpse and then talk about how I made it.

The color concept was inspired and made as per " The Card Concept" as you see below.

Color : Pink, Black and Golden.

Flower : Pink and Peach 

Shape : Stripes.

This project will be framed as a Key holder Plaque which needs to be done by a carpenter.What you see here is the version before. While I am writing this post its getting framed :) :) :).

Now a full reveal of the plaque.

The flowers are made using Elizabeth Craft Designs - Susans Anemone Dies.

The bold letters are from Die Cuts and More.

The Big ornate is also from Die Cuts and More.

I hope you will like my project and I was able to do justice to the challenges I will enter.

DIY+Bottle Art

Happy New Year my friends and this is my first post for 2017. 2016 has been a productive year for me in terms of learning new art form, finishing some of my oil paintings, taking up new design work and getting recognized and appreciated by many.

With 2017 I intend to do more, learn more, share more which eventually should inspire my readers.

Today I am blogging for Happy Little Stamper with Anything with dies challenge. I love making flowers and this time I up cycled a wine bottle using Heartfelt Creations Daisy Flower Die.

First let me share a glimpse of the flower I created using the die which I later used to embellish the bottle.

Later I used a old wine bottle which I wrapped with twine and then used the flower arrangement for the bottle decor. The final look is something like this.

The Dies used are Cheery Lynn and Heartfelt Creations flower dies.

Hope you like it and its a very easy peasy project that all of you can try at home.

Thanks - Desk Decor

Hello friends, today I am at the Happy Little Stamper Blog for " Anything goes with Challenge"

Dies are fun element to work with as you can create endless possibilities. Off late I have been creating background using dies one of which you can see here. Many more will be uploaded soon.

The flowers are gold embossed and then colored with distress ink and finished with glitter gloss.

The complete layout is 7x7 inches which after framed is little large, There are various small elements that I have added.

Home Sweet Home!

Hello Everyone, been a while. Honestly due to some personal emergency didn't have the space for my craft table.

But I am happy I am back and hope gets back to my craft zone soon.

Well today's post is special in a way that I made this for a very dear person. This is what I feel that when the reason is beautiful, the creation has to be something special.

My project for today is a custom made home decor. Well you may not see the framed project as the carpenter is still working on it however the concept is such.

Will definitely post the complete key holder once assembled.

I have used the chipboards from Itsy Bitsy, Heartfelt creation paper pad for the background and Cheery Lynn gardenia Strip for the flowers along with some Heartfelt Creation dies.

This piece will be framed and ready to use in some days.

I am entering this also in the current Cheery Lynn Challenge

KeepSake Box

Hello Everyone,

Today I am sharing a decoupaged keepsake box. Yeah thats my new venture. From the time I have known this I am almost going crazy trying my hands on this.

You can get the raw MDF products from Craftslane. They are simply lovely.

It would be unfair not to mention Divya and you can find her work in the FB link. She and her work is my inspiration to start working on Decoupage.

Papers are from DCWV stack and I have heat embossed it with silver to give the swirls.

Hope you like it.

MDF Tissue Box...

Hello Everyone

After a weeks time, I am back. Got tied up with some other priorities...

Anyways since the time I came across Craftslane and thanks to Ujjwal whose blog introduced me to Craftslane, I could not hold myself to try my hands at one of their products.

Though I got many of their products, however I started with a Tissue box.

I have used handmade crochet flowers and patterned paper to decorate the box. Kept it simple and did not embellish much to make it user friendly :).

This is the first time I have used the decoupage technique on a wooden surface and I am quite happy on the way it has come out :).

I am working some more projects from the Craftslane products, wood be back soon

See you at the next blog!!!!
