Hidden Message Card - Heartfelt Creations DT

Hello everyone,
Here is another card using the wonderful collection called Everyday Heroes.
Heartfelt Creations Products :
Everyday Heroes Paper Collection HCDP1-253
Everyday Heroes Die HCD1-761
You Inspire Me Cling Stamp Set HCPC-3667
Everyday Hero Newsprint Cling Stamp Set HCPC-3665

Other Products : Bazzil Basic Brown Card stock, Bazzil Basic light blue cardstock, Tim Holtz Blue distress ink, Black Staz On Ink, Glue dots, Magnet, Stickles, Cream Seam Binding, Flat Back pearl trim


Description :

For this card I used 8X4 cardstock in brown, 7 3/4 X 3 3/4" cardstock in blue, 12 X 3 1/2" piece of designer paper from the collection. Designer paper folded on 7 1/2"
Layered all papers together. I have used one magnet for top folded part of designer paper. Inside I stamped one of the beautiful sentiment on blank white cardstock and used one more magnet hidden behind so when you close the folded flap it will stick together. I hope it make sense :-)
I did litter decoration on top of the flap. I have used one of my favorite buckle stamps and die. Just love the way we can used your ribbons here so I used cream seam binding. Also used one of the script stamp and arrow die. Gave a little cute touch using flat back pearl trim on that. Finished this card using some stickle on those pretty roses image.
Hope you will find this one bit interesting.

Hi HC fans,
Here I am presenting the new release project. I am so so happy to see this collection. It is unique and colors of the paper is just adorable. Stamps and Dies are so useful and really well designed.
So...

Your champion may never have a medal pinned to his or her chest, but you can demonstrate your gratitude with the Everyday Heroes Collection from Heartfelt Creations. These epic stamps, dies and papers salute the extraordinary "ordinary people" who inspire us as they live their daily lives with honor and integrity. Greys, teals, khakis, creams and browns have been blended with distressed newsprint, vintage maps, globes, sailing ships, timepieces, combat boots, stripes, dots and flourishes to create a rugged, paper collection that is timeless in its appeal. Six deeply etched cling stamp sets featuring detailed collages, inspiring sentiments and unique circular elements mesh perfectly with the paper collection and matching set of dies. Let's sing the praises of the unsung heroes in our lives with the Everyday Heroes Collection from Heartfelt Creations!

Here is the Tri-fold card I made using one of the beautiful collections, which is new release called, Everyday Heroes. I am in love with the colors, graphics, stamps and dies from this one. It is amazingly beautiful. I am sure after seeing all the DT inspirational projects you will want one.

This open card measure 11"X6" and close will be 5" X 6". Basic card stock cut in to 11"X6" and score on 3" and 5". 





For inside flaps I got two 2 3/4" brown color card stock and stamped with one of the stamp which is kind of Mixed Media type stamp. It looks so awesome as a background. 
For main middle panel I have used one piece of brown paper measures, 4 3/4" X 5 3/4" as a backing for this beautiful designer paper. I have distressed all the brown papers with Tim Holtz distress in in vintage photo and designer papers in blue color. I stamped one of the really meaningful stamp on the side of the design. 




For outside I have created panel using brown paper and one of the 6x6 designer paper from the collection.
To close this card I created this beautiful band using one of the graphic from 12X12 paper. I fussy cut the banner and used spellbinders die-cut to give the backing for this beautiful decorative frame. On sides I have used some crochet lace to give chic look and make the band bit more strong. Used some flat back pearls around the decorative frame.

I hope you will find this card simple and elegant. These papers makes everything easy and pretty without putting so much efforts.
