another HISTK post! What's more we've another 'babe' joining us this year ...
drum roll please for my super duper buddie and fellow teamie at
Less is More and HLS CAS Challenge
Anita of Neet & Crafty
Our host for this outing was another fellow teamie at Less is More and Uniko;
Sarah G and she was certainly feeling all loved up and romantic when she
put this beautiful kit together, which she's named 'Heartfelt'
I couldn't wait to get playing with all these yummy goodies and today
I simply can't wait to zip around the other blogs to see what's been created!
Here's the line up
Hazel Hodgkins: Hazel's Paper Designs
Sarah Gray: Funky Fossil Designs
Shona Chambers: Twine Around
Sandie Munroe: London Days
Anita Bowden: Neet & Crafty
Sarah Platt: Sazzle Dazzle Crafts ... that's ME!
... and here's a picture of Sarah's goody bag and the list of contents
Supplies:
"There are a range of images in the kit including Mama Elephant, Winnie & Walter,
Paper Smooches and Neat and Tangled.
The die cuts are from Simon Says Stamp, Avery Elle & Tonic. "
and here's my cards but once again I struggle to keep these HISTK cards CAS.
In trying to use every little element I end up forgetting that white space!
So most CAS to begin with
Using one of my WeR Memory Keepers embossing folders I've created
a 'wave' texture to some black card stock ... no idea why this goes with
hearts but I liked it! So using the chipboard hearts, sending word die and
I snipped the 'U' off the Love sentiment, added a strip of glitter paper beneath
and a couple of sequins ... DONE!
I stuck with the flowers but skipped the hearts here!
I fuzzy cut the floral bouquets (over snipped actually - ooops!)
Coloured with Promarkers and mounted on 3d foam along with the
die-cut 'You' on top of one of the paper doilies. I then heat-embossed
the 'Thank' from Winnie & Walter in white onto black card.
where it's Anything Goes this week!
Totally OTT with love and hearts here! There were so many
heart die cuts in the kit that I couldn't resist layering them up here.
I've fuzzy cut the 'love' sentiment and added a die-cut 'You' from
WPlus9 then once again mounted on 3d foam onto another doily.
To add a little interest to the pink cardstock from the kit I've added a
stitched border to one edge.
Yikes I have this faceted Heart die but not the stamp so I
was grinning from ear to ear when this dropped out of the little
packet. The patterned paper has such delicate pink and green tones
with a dash of lime green so I decided to watercolour the heart
with distress inks in Tattered Rose, Hickory Smoke, Cracked Pistachio
and Twisted Citron. I even inked the edges of my card base in the
Cracked Pistachio and added a couple of coordinating enamel dots by Doodlebug.
Last but not least and these bits were simply shouting 'Shake me!'
Using the flower power #1 set by Uniko I've stamped a
tone on tone floral print on the heart frame, added all the
teeny die-cut hearts inside the shaker with some seed beads. The
second piece of patterned paper is behind with lots of heartfelt words.
I've fuzzy cut those adorable bunnies and coloured them with zig clear
brush pens then added the 'bunny' sentiment below.
Thanks for this adorable pack of goodies Sarah and thankfully I've
a few months to think out how I'm going to compete!!!
As always thanks for calling by and I'm off to check out what the
rest of my teamies have made with this fantastic bundle.
