Celebrate the Holidays with this Graphic 45 Bendi Card Tutorial

 

Today I'm sharing this super cool Christmas Bendi card with you from Graphic 45's Christmas Carol collection.  I love the way it looks like the characters are literally walking off the card while the village is nestled in the background. 

 

Here's the tutorial to see how you too can create this adorable dimensional card.

Bendi Card with Crafters Companion

I love bendi cards and this is one I created with Crafter's Companion and some of their edgeables dies.  They sure make it easy to create something that is just stunning but still really easy. 

 

Unfortunately the picture doesn't do this one justice as it was glitter paper...which made it really festive.  The red reindeer on the front adds that finished pop and you're ready to go. 

 

Here's a complete list of goodies I used from Crafters Companion to complete this card.

A Tag or More with Heartfelt Creations

It's Heartfelt Creations Wednesday and today's project is one that I adore the way it turned out.  This tag set was created using the Italian Rivera collection and lots and lots of layers.  I suppose you could hang this from a wine bottle as a tag, but I made a ribbon holder for it that you could just hang it up in your kitchen or if your lucky enough our wine cellar. 

To see a complete list of supplies and how to, plus lots of other great projects head over to Heartfelt's blog and see what all they have for you today. 

A Touch of Elegance

 

Hi everyone.  Today's card is one that I just love, love, love.  I'm using Graphic 45's Botanicabella rereleased collection along with some of my favorite dies and card stock from Crafter's Companion.   I think the two together make for one more elegant easel card. 

 

I topped it off with some ribbon from May Arts.  This is one of my favorite ribbons as it has wired edges so that helps to be able to make bows fluff and stand just the way I want them to. 

 

Here's a complete list of goodies from Crafter's Companion that I used on this project and links so you can go pick them up yourself.

Coloring is good for you!! Heartfelt Creations

So studies have found that coloring is actually good for you.  It's a great way for adults to combat stress and it's certainly not just for kids anymore.  Today's project is one that I found myself lost in the coloring and instead of feeling tired after I made it I felt calm and ready to create some more. 

I used Spectrum Noir markers on the coloring and you can see a complete list of all the dies and stamps I used but also all the color of markers used to create this beauty.  Just hop over to Heartfelt Creations blog and check it out. 

Angels, Angels Everywhere with Crafters Companion

I'm really having fun with Crafters Companion's Ultimate Tool.  It really is a tool that can do about, well ..... everything with!!!!  Need a pretty bow?...Ultimate Tool,  need to make a box?  Ultimate Tool,  need to create a one of a card three dimension card?  Ultimate Tool.  You'll find yourself leaving this tool out all the time to create with instead of just tucked on the shelf. 

I was able to create this wonderful shadow box card in no time.   I love the way it folds down and then pops up when taken out of the envelope.  AMAZING!!

If you don't have the Ultimate Tool be sure to either head over to HSN for a special edition glitter purple one, or pick up a standard one on the Crafters Companion website.

Italiana Riviera Collection from Heartfelt Creations is here

It's time to slow down the daily pace, take a deep breath and embrace life with the new Heartfelt Creations Italiana Riviera Collection.  We invite you to stroll down the Italian coastline taking in the spectacular seaside views, open markets, and amazing architecture while allowing yourself to relax and get lost in an easy going way of life.  Feel the gentle breeze, breathe in the aromas of salty mist and mouthwatering eats as you pass by a harbor lined with delightful cafes and quaint little shops calling out to you to pause for a visit. Step through towering stone gates to meander through perfectly manicured vineyards boasting rows and rows of coiling vines filled with dense foliage and  plump clusters of exquisitely purple hued grapes.  Then as the sun sets, continue to take in the old world charm and beauty of the area as you relax in your villa, enjoying a glass of fine wine aged to perfection while jotting down all of the days wonderful adventures on an old fashioned postcard, pausing occasionally only to peer out the old stone window that reveals the most surreal view of lush gardens, stately mountains, beautiful flowers and that perfectly manicured vineyard.  At Heartfelt Creations we dismiss the misconceived notion that you are required to leave your craft room to experience the finer things in life...so come along with us as we invite you to explore the charm and elegance of the Italiana Riviera Collection!
