Linda's works of Heart

Thanks for Being You.

Hello lovely bloggers, I love today’s project, and couldn’t wait to share it with you.  You know how much I love making flowers, so Spellbinders™ New Spiral Blossom Three die was a perfect choice.  I couldn’t wait to play with it, and it has quickly become my favorite flower die (but I love all of Spellbinders flower dies LOL!)  And what do you think of their new M-Bossabilities?  I love them too... I think it’s easy to say that Spellbinders has truly outdone themself’s with their new release.

I'm due to return home tomorrow, and I hope I have lots of pictures to share with you.  Thanks for being patient, I know I haven't posted as often as I should this last month, but now that CHA is over, I can't wait to share more projects and video's with you.

Hearts & Flowers - Spellbinders

Hello there, today I have a sweet Valentine card to share with you.  You know I love layers, and this cards definitely has layers LOL!  I used Spellbinders new Romantic Rectangles, Classic Edges One, and Classic Decorative Insert One Edgeabilities® on this project.  After I cut/embossed the pink and cream striped heart, I used the Edgeabilities to cut a decorative edge, and design across the heart as shown, I love the effect it gives.  

I'm at CHA, so that's why there is no step-by-step tutorial today, but I have many to share with you when I return home :)

Kaleidoscope Medallions.

 Hi there my dear blog friends, by the time you read this I will be on the road heading to CHA!!  I'm so excited, it's been years since I've been able to go due to scheduling conflicts, but not this year :)  

Unfortunately, I do not have a step-by-step tutorial for this project or my next two projects due to time...  But I will continue with video's when I come home from CHA.  

The Medallion was colored with a combination of Copic Markers, and PrismaColor Pencils.  I stamped the Scrolled Vine Background Stamp on the cardfront using a VersaMark stamp pad, and added White embossing powder, then heat set with a heat gun. Add your ribbon and pearls, that's it.

I do have a couple of cards scheduled to post while I'm gone, so I will be back real soon.  If possible, I will post pictures from CHA, if not I will do so when I return.

I Want to Drive Your Car - Scrapbook Page

Hello there blog friends. Today I have a fun scrapbook page to share of Allison's son while he was sitting in a car.  I've used a few of Allison's photos in the past, because of her talent.  Allison's goal is to be a professional photographer, and I'm thankful she allows me to make scrapbook pages with her work.  You can visit her facebook page here Photographs by Allison. 

The cardstock is K&Company's Black & Ivory Paper Pad I found at Target. I used Copic Markers to color the flowers, leaves, and sky on the largest circle, then used ink pads, and sponged behind the picture with colors to make the photo pop.  I find it harder to create a scrapbook page for little boy's than for little girls.  As much as I love working with flowers, I never feel right putting them on pages for little boys LOL!!

I have provided a step-by-step video showing you how I created my project using the beautiful and versatile Spellbinders Nestabilities® Decorative Elements S5-090 Romantic Rectangles.

 

 

 

Supplies used for my first project:

Image: The Bride – The Old Design Shop.

Spellbinders™: New S5-090 Romantic Frame, New Donna Salazar Bitty Blossoms, Floral and Stone Impressabilities ™, Labels Four SM.

Cardstock: Whisper White – Stampin’ Up!

Stamp Pad:  Old Paper Ranger Distress Ink – eclectic Paperie.

Misc.: Foam Tape, Self Adhesive Pearls – The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  Beacon Zip Dry Paper Glue.  3D Glue Dots – eclectic Paperie.  Lace – JoAnns. Pergamano Embossing Mat A5.

 

 

For my second project starting from the bottom up, I used two layers of Very Vanilla cardstock, and distressed the edges. With Spellbinders Grand Calibur®, and S5-090 Romantic Rectangles #4 die template, I cut/embossed Prima's Pixie Glen cardstock for the next layer. I made the next two layers the same as the previous ones, except I used the Romantic Rectangles #3 die. Using the Slate stamp pad, and JustRite's Kindness stamps, I stamped the image then cut/enbossed Spellbinders Labels Twenty die template, that coordinates with the image size.  Now cut/emboss the Standard Circles SM, and stamp the sentiment. The two little roses were made by cutting/embossing two of the Standard Circles Nestabilities, draw a spiral circle starting from the outside edge to the center, cut on the line, and roll with a quilling tool.  The final step is to place a 3D Glue Dot on the flower center, and tie your pretty bow.

Supplies used for my second project:

Stamps: Kindness – JustRite Cling – JustRite Stampers.

Stamp Pads:  Slate Ranger Adirondack Dye Pad – eclectic Paperie.

Cardstock: Very Vanilla – Stampin’ Up!, Pixie Glen Collection 8” X 8” Paper Stack by Prima – scrapbooking.com.
