Hi friends, so very excited to share with you our newest collection from Heartfelt Creations, Merry and Bright. 

Glistening winter scenes filled with freshly fallen snow, pine boughs draped with shiny holiday ornaments, and prancing reindeer delivering sleighs filled with handpicked gifts for friends and loved ones are delightful imaginings that send our imaginations dancing with delight in the anticipation of the holiday season! Spread a little Christmas joy and happiness featuring these warmhearted inspirations with the new Merry and Bright Collection from Heartfelt Creations! Share cheerful Yuletide greetings and well wishes with a fun and cutesy paper collection overflowing with precious outdoor scenes of cozy snow laden cottages, beautiful birds nestled in delightfully decorated pines, and pleasing decorative holiday arrangements! Brimming with delicate snowflake accents, gorgeous floral clusters, charming polka dots and beautiful brocade patterns all encompassed in a non-traditional color palette of frosty blues, tantalizing teals, magnificent purples and pretty pinks, this paper collection is one that will surely have your holiday projects standing out from all the others received this holiday season! A sweet and desirable assembling of cling stamp sets paired with the coordinating dies culminate a perfect assortment of illustrations including beautiful evergreen groves, rustic snow covered foliage accents, diminutive Christmas baubles and an elegant vase ideal for assembling your own decorative centerpieces! The perfect accents for creating delightful holiday themed dimensional embellishments for all of your Yuletide projects.

I had a lot of fun creating this shadow box featuring stamps, dies and designer paper from this beautiful collection.
Thank you for your visit.

Instructions:  Finished size of shadowbox is 6 3/8” wide x 6 2/8” high x 1” deep.  Start with a white shadowbox, cut patterned paper panels to cover front and sides as well as the village panel for the inside of the box.  For the front panel I used a die from the Cut Mat Create 2A set and cut half of the opening, repositioned the die and cut the other half of the opening creating the perfect fit for the opening on the shadowbox.  Ink all edges of patterned paper with tumbled glass ink, glue all pieces as pictured.  Add frosting powder to village image and heat emboss if desired. 

With die from Fleur Border Basics, cut 3 pieces that will make the mountains in front of the village, ink edges with distress ink and glue to the shadowbox flaps.

Stamp reindeer and sleigh image with black ink 4 times on watercolor paper, cut with coordinating dies and color with distress ink re-inkers.  Trim sections of the sleigh image to create the 3D effect, shape all pieces slightly on back with large stylus tip and glue with foam dots.  For the deer, cut out one collar and rope with scissors and glue with foam dots as pictured.  Glue image to front of shadowbox as pictured.

Stamp the following on white cardstock with black ink -  one ornament branch, Sepia ink - several pinecones, Emerald ink - several pine branches, holy leaves, small pine branches, 3 pinetree sets, Vibrant Fuchsia - 3 poinsettias.  Cut all images with coordinating dies.  Color with inks used to stamp the images.  Shape with flower shaping kit.  Layer and glue all images to upper left corner as pictured, for poinsettias add some blue stamen to centers and hot glue on box as pictured.  For all trees add frosting powder and heat emboss, glue to mountains as pictured.  Add frosting powder to greenery and pinecones, heat emboss.
