INSPIRATION WEDNESDAY WITH HEARTFELT CREATIONS



Sweetly fragranced, and delicately airy, the graceful peony flower is a breathtaking and dreamy blossom that calls a quiet attention to itself! Lush foliage filled plants bursting forth with tightly wound flower buds among softly ruffled blossoms bring with them a hint of old fashioned romance and delight! Join Heartfelt Creations as we stroll through beautiful peony filled gardens in the new Sweet Peony Collection! Pause, linger and refresh your soul as you amble through a paper collection filled with delightful peony flowers in happy hues of angelic pinks and dark burgundies, set among a refreshing array of leafy greens, sky blues, and sunshine yellows! Soft swirls, gorgeous stripes, and dainty lace like accents come together to create pleasing backdrops for bold peony blossoms, chipping birds and divine window scenes! Three coordinating cling stamp set and die combinations bring the luscious peony flower to the forefront of this gorgeous collection. An assortment of varying sized peony petals and foliage die cut pieces work together to create dimensional and dynamic peony blossoms ready to captivate and take center stage on card fronts, scrapbook layouts and altered art pieces! So, breathe deep, drink in the sweetness of the peony blossoms, and feel free to linger a while as we take in the gentle beauty of the Sweet Peony Collection!
I have 2 to share, the first is a money or gift card holder, the second a card  Hope you enjoy and get some inspiration....

Instructions: Click here to view a larger photo of this project. Begin by cutting a piece of 12x12" cardstock down to 7 1/2 x 12". Score at 4 and 8. Use the Fleur border dies on both ends. Now choose the paper form the Sweet Peony collection, adhere to all sides. Cut two pieces of the paper 3 x 3", score every 1/2 inch accordion style and adhere to the bottom inside flap.
To make the band cut a piece of Kraft 1 x 9", cut another piece of the Sweet Peony paper 3/4 x 8 3/4" and glue together. Use the Oval dies and cut out from the Kraft and Peony, adhere together. Stamp the sentiment with the Petunia stamp on the oval from the Peony paper in the upper right-hand corner, adhere to the other oval then to the band.
Stamp the Peonies on white with the Dark Brown ink and color in with the Rouge. Cut out, place in the flower mold, finish shaping by hand and adhere to oval. Stamp the Peony Buds on white with the Brown ink, color in with the Rouge and Bamboo Leaves ink, cut out, and adhere to oval. Locate the 2 Lilac sprays from the paper collection and use the matching die, cut out, adhere one to the right hand upper corner of the Money holder and the other to the oval. Cut the Lilac flowers out with the matching die, shape and adhere to the Lilac sprays.
To finish, add glitter, Stamens, pearls and Crystal drops.

Both your cards are magnificent, Olga! I love peonies, and have some that grow near my front steps. I can't wait until they bloom, so I can bring some bouquets into the house. Thank you for reminding me that it won't be long before those beautiful blossoms are once again dressing up my front yard.
