I hope that you are all as excited as I am about the Heartfelt Creations New Releases as I am! These will help you expand your creativity to new heights! I was able to play a bit over the weekend with the HCD 709 Springtime Medley Die, along with the coordinating stamp set HCPC 3359 Daffy Daffodil! Talk about springtime fun!
I chose the Daffodils because they are one of the first flowers to pop up and bring a sign that spring is here, and I am in need of a good dose of the warmth they promise!
For the card tin, I chose to use the smaller daffodils using two shades of yellow card stock. I stamped the image on both colors then cut out a template with a piece of scrap card stock. Taking the template, I cut out the images out through my personal Cuttlebug Machine. I shaded around the edges and the leaves with watercolor crayons. I actually cut several and layered them using adhesive foam for more dimension. I placed them around the S4-269 Lotus Pendant that gave it a doily look. I used one of the smaller pendants for the center. Add a bit of ribbon around the edges. I use Scor-Tape for applying my ribbon. Easy!

For my CD organizer Box, I used the small daffodil for the front of the box and the daffodil with stem for the sides, using the same method as the Card Tin to shade. I placed the larger flowers in frames using S4-138 Petite Ovals Large #3 die inside S4-139 Petite Scalloped Ovals Large #3 and #4 dies. I glued everything together with adhesive then used Mod Podge to adhere them to each desired area of the box.

Last, but not least, I used the large Daffodil from the Daffy Daffodil Set for the center of a Sticky Note Holder! I used colored pencil on this project to give it a softer look. These make great little gifts!
I cut 2 pieces of chipboard 3 1/2″ square. Cover each of them with paper cut 4 1/2″ square, with score marks on each side approx. 7 1/16 from outside edge. I used the Whimsy Mat Stack for my project. Cut out corners, glue to to the chipboard. Cut 1 strip of card stock or heavier paper 8 3/4″ x 3 1/4″. Score 1″, 1 1/2″, 4 7/8″, and 5 3/8″ along the strip. Glue to pieces of chipboard so you will have a front, back and flap.
I used S4-301 Labels Sixteen #4 die for a frame around the flower, stamping a random flourish to make the leaves. I raised the Daffodil with foam adhesive so I could place the flap of the holder behind the flower to keep it closed.

I had so much fun making these projects! These new sets are a must have for your collection! Take a peak at all the rest on our site!
Thanks and Happy Scrappin’
