Heartfelt Classic Christmas Collection

Today we've got a fabulous new release to enjoy from Heartfelt Creations.  The design team has been madly preparing samples for you using these new stamps, and today I've got two of them to share here.  Check out the HC Blog to see what the rest of the design team created.

First of all, I made this card, with the cute little book which I just LOVE!

Second of all, here is a coaster I made.  It was surprisingly quick and easy once I figured out how to do it, and the tile used was from the hardware store and pretty inexpensive.  I'm thinking a set of these would make a great Christmas gift.

Detailed instructions including supplies lists can be found on this week's HC Blog post.

The Classic Christmas Collection  features 6 new precut stamp sets that coordinate with the Heirloom Ornaments 2011 and the Labels Seven Spellbinders dies. The classic images in this collection are perfect "not only" for your Christmas projects but very versatile and you will find yourself using them throughout the entire year! Leave a comment on the Heartfelt Creations blog by October 18 for a chance to win the entire release valued at $89.99.

My first coasters!

I've been experimenting with some different projects lately, and one of my favourite discoveries has been how easy it is to make coasters!

Here are some I made using floral images from the new Springtime Medley Collection by Heartfelt Creations.

Products Used on This Project HCPC 3320 Vintage Word Background PreCut Set  HCPC 3360 Exotic Fuchsia PreCut Set  HCPC 3361 Semper Augustus Tulips PreCut Set HCPC 3362 Angel Trumpet Flower PreCut Set  Obtain glazed 4x4 white tiles from hardware store.  The ones I used here were about 25 cents each at Home Depot. Stamp images on tissue paper that has been cut to slightly larger size than tiles.  Use black Staz-On ink.  Colour on reverse side using Copics.  Spread Mod Podge over tile using sponge brush.  Carefully layer tissue paper overtop and pat out the bubbles with your fingers.  Allow to dry and then add another layer of Mod Podge.  Allow this to dry and add another layer of Mod Podge.  Do this a few times leaving several hours between layers.  At the end spray with Krylon sealant.  Add foam dots to the bottom so the tiles don't scratch surfaces.
