Pretty Pearly Heartfelt Thanks Tutorail

Good morning! Before I get started I want to say Thank You so much for the comments and warm welcome to the Want2Scrap Design Team! I am so honored and excited to be part of the design team and I am excited to do my first blog post today!!

I have two cards to share with you today using the New and ever popular Nestabling™! Here is the first card I designed and I have a step-by-step tutorial to share with you. To start I created the tag using the Grand Calibur™ and S5-030 Fancy Tags Two from Spellbinders™. I used Ivory cardstock and cut/embossed the tag. I used Rich Cocoa ink to stamp the sentiment, colored with a Copic marker and inked the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The sentiment is from JustRite Stampers JustRite Cling CL-02080 Fancy Tags.Next I added the Nestabling using Nestabling™ Fancy Tags Two White Pearl.To apply the Nestabling™ you simply peel it off the clear sheet and add to the die cut. The Nestabling will hold it's shape! Another way to apply the Nestabling™ is to peel a little up from the clear sheet, line up the bling on the die cut and peel the clear sheet backwards for perfect placement of the Nestabling™. So Gorgeous and Fast!! Can you imagine how long that would take if you had to add each tiny pearl by hand--way too long!Next I created two heart shaped diecuts (only one shown). I used the Grand Calibur™ and S4-136 Classic Heart #4 and S4-137 Scalloped Hearts #6 from Spellbinders™ to cut/emboss the shapes. For the classic heart I used paper from the Lullaby collection from Kaiser Craft (available in April) and Ivory for the scalloped heart and I inked the edges of both with Antique Linen Distress Ink.I used Nestabling™ Scalloped Hearts Pink Rhinestones to edge the scalloped heart.Next I layered the hearts and tag using 3D Foam Squares from SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES By 3L™.
Here is a close up of the hearts and tag on the finished card.The next step is to create the felt roses for the card. I used S4-312 Blossom Three #2, #3 and the Grand Calibur™ from Spellbinders™ to cut the felt flower shapes. Have your A Base Plate on the bottom, add the die template with the ridges (cut size) up, felt, cardstock and then C Cutting Plate.After making the die cuts then I hand cut the felt starting from the outside working inward for a spiral cut. I used a Copic marker to add some color to the felt for a 2-tone look.Next use your favorite liquid adhesive and start to roll the rose.Keep gluing and rolling the rose until you reach the center and glue the center to the bottom of the rose.Using the Grand Calibur and S4-328 Foliage from Spellbinders, I cut and colored some felt leaves to go with the rose.Here is a close up of the felt roses and leaves.
I used a piece of pretty pink paper with a white damask flock from the Lullaby collection from Kaiser Craft (available in April).I also added some Baby Bling LeCreme Baby Pearls-100 Count to the corners and some hand tinted seam binding for the bow.
