I find Heartfelt Creations die a cut above. No pun intended! They have an intricacy and beauty that is oh so attractive. Just started working with Vellum and find this tutorial perfect for where I would like to go next.
+John C Mullins Awesome! Thank you for your kind words:) Have fun working with your vellum. So glad this video was helpful for you! ~Emma Lou
Hello Emma Lou - I met you in Australia in 2013 at the launch of Heartfelt Creations Productsin Aust. with Karen from Arnold's Scrapbook and Craft Supplies. My friend and I took a class with you and we have both been hooked ever since. We watch all your videos and really enjoy making cards using product from your beautiful collections. Thank you for coming out her and would love to see you out here again.
Hi Barb, Thanks for commenting...we love our Australian stampers and scrapbookers. Hopefully we'll see you again in the future:) ~Emma Lou
Love all your videos! Love all your products! Just want to add a comment about Joel- I attend the Stamp Fest in Lakeland, Florida (use to be in Orlando) each year. He is the most patient person and does an absolute great job at the Make N Takes on Friday nites! He is a "one man show" and there can be 75 people in the booth at the same time and he makes sure that each person is taken care. Thank you for all your well made products. I also had a girlfriend who drove all the way down from Chicago to attend the Stamp Fest in Lakeland, Florida for the first time and absolutely loved it- especially Heartfelt Creations!
KrystalKenneth Huchingson Hello! Thank you. I personally just emailed Joel with your comment so he can see what you wrote. We appreciate your feedback ! ~Emma Lou
Having never used vellum before, I found this video to be very interesting. Love the idea of coloring on the back...a very soft look. Thanks for all your tips on using this kind of paper.
You're welcome Martie, ah, you'll love the effect when you try it...just a head's up, using vellum can be quite addicting:) ~Emma Lou
Thanks for sharing this one lovely vellum technique, beautiful! Hoping for many, many more! I absolutely love using HC dies, stamps, and your paper collections. I also like to play around and see what I can create myself, I don't pretend to have any artistic talent, but I am very drawn to the beauty God made in colors, and also love shimmer and shine. Sometimes I just make a muddy mess, but other times I come up with something that even startles me. I am always looking to learn and improve, and I know I'm always asking for more techniques from you--all because I'm so eager to learn and to improve. Probably selfish on my part and for that I apologize, I just love how you teach and what I learn from you. I do know excellence in teaching, I was a university professor in music (flute) before I was disabled in a car accident--and you are an excellent teacher, I'm grateful to have found you!!!
I am particularly keen to learn coloring techniques, especially shading techniques as relate to light direction and how to shade around an image--I see a faint blue used around images that looks amazing but I don't know how to use it really... I have a very small gallery on SCS, have uploaded 4 cards in the last year using Heartfelt Creations products--some combination of dies, stamps, and your wonderful paper collections, and hope to create many more.
Your DT is excellent, what talented artists, you choose your DT well, bravo to you and your team. Sorry this is so long! Blessings to you and your team at HC. Please keep the faith-based sentiments and bible verses coming too. Thanks... :)
I have not worked with vellum before. I will try this technique! Thanks for the tips.
Beautiful cards. I like using vellum and your instructions make it much easier. Thank you for the instructions on shaping.
HI Judy, Thanks for watching:) I'm glad this helps make it easier for you! ~Emma Lou
Absolutely lovely!!!
I love your cards! Your tutorials are loved too!
Emma Lou, you are so very talented and I just love watching you create. You make it look so very easy. One day, I am going to have to learn how to create some beautiful flowers like yours!
Hi Selena, aw you're so sweet, when you create some share them with us on Facebook if you wish. ~Emma Lou
I really love vellum. Your tutorials are the best! TY for sharing your amazing talents with us!
so delicate, i love it, thank you for your clear instructions.
I love the vellum flowers.They look so delicate.
I am so grateful for your email taking me to this video. I have been making vellum orchids and discovered the problem with it cracking when I used a stylus. I have made some beautiful flowers with the orchid dies, but had not tried other vellum flowers because of the limitations with shaping. I did find that going over the flowers with a wink of Stella pen helped them hold their shape (like water on paper, but not as wet). Now I can try some of your other amazing flower stamp and dies with vellum. I am hooked on your collections. Not only are they beautiful, but the quality of the stamps and dies is excellent. Thank you for making such great products and videos to show how to get the most from them. You are a blessing!
Hi Susie, so happy this video was helpful for you! Thank you for being part of our crafting family, we appreciate you! ~Emma Lou
On my list of projects to create. Looking forward to making vellum flowers. I love your products. TFS .

Thank You! Do you have a favorite product? ~Emma Lou
+Heartfelt Creations
Good Lord, that would make life easy!
One single favorite!
I want to have them all and I want to create things as beautifully as you do on your videos!
I have the Arianna Bloom stamp and die set and the Arianna Lace die, and the Classic Sunflower stamps and die as well My flower shaping leaves a bit to be desired but I'm coming along!
I haunt Etsy and EBay to find some of your retired products as well because I've seen your older creations and those of your wonderful design team and I want to make them too!
I think I need help!
Thank you for the lesson! I didn't know what I was doing wrong because all my embossing just flicked off. Now I know, use lighter weight vellum and curl the petals! Yay!
Isn't it crazy how some of the simplest tips can make such a huge difference! ~Emma Lou
Very beautiful ! thank you for sharing !
Beautiful! Thanks, Emma Lou. Looking forward to seeing you in Collinsville, IL. Hope my friends and I get to see you in a class in Indiana, and that you will have a weekend retreat in Goshen soon.

my heartfelt creations collection is growing 😀i have 7 flowers now and I am waiting for the classic leafs die + both stamps & today I ordered the gateway die 😀 so exited and so many ideas. next I will buy the orchid and window die. perfect for mixed media 😊 I just love HC. so unique, and that the flowers also have coordinating stamps is what got me on the fan list (and of course all the different sizes) ❤

+denise bradbury Hi Denise, How exciting for you......you're going to have so much fun creating:) ~Emma Lou
Muy bonitas las flores y el trabajo magnífico.
Just found your channel and love love this beautiful card
Thanks Elizabeth. How long have you been creating cards?
thank you for sharing info on what inks to use and which markers to use. I have some heartfelt flower stamp and die and can't wait to do this.
Margaret Johnson Hi Margaret, Thanks for watching and have fun trying this technique!
I really am loving the videos i learn so much.I'm having trouble blending colors using pencils when i use water color paper. Love vellum flowers so much but am having trouble with the tool not rolling as easy i do have the heartfelt big kit and even embossing powder breaking off
+Irene Clark Hello Irene, Thanks for your comment! So sorry you're having issues with this. Are you having difficulty curling the vellum? If yes, the vellum is a little more slippery so I like to roll it tightly around the curling tip and hold it a little, since the vellum tends to want to go back to it's original state. When using embossing powder, I like to use the colorbox frost white ink and the ranger white embossing powder.
Thank you so much for showing us how you make your beautiful cards! I'm really new at card making so can use all the help I can get. LOL I am wondering...I've seen you use chalk ink a lot to color your flowers...is that just because it dries fast...or is there another reason. I don't have any of it yet, and am wondering if I need to put that on my list to get soon or if it could wait. Thanks again so much for your video's! :-))
hi, as always fantastic hints and tips, I will now try this out myself, thank you so very much, from Gina
Have fun Gina...thanks for your feedback and watching:) ~Emma Lou
Love your creations and the vellum looks so delicate. Will you be offering more workshops at the Somerset Expo?
I took all 3 last year and loved it.
Hi Doris, Thanks for watching. Yes, we will be teaching classes again in Somerset on September 11th and 12th. All the info can be found by going to our website and clicking on the classes tab. ~Emma Lou
I'll have to try the velum for the flowers they look gorgeous
Hermoso
Hello and thank you for sharing. I went to 3 Heartfelt Creations workshops at the recent Expo in Anaheim and now I'm hooked. Your products and samples are amazing. Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but these cards are so beautiful and I'd love to send them to people but with the dimensional elements it seems like mailing them is out of the question. Do you suggest just using boxes to mail these or do you have a better idea of how to send them? Thank you! Donna from California
javapick Hi Donna, Thanks for watching and taking the workshops:) We just recently added some clear boxes to our website that are perfect for mailing out dimensional cards. That is what we typically use for ours and they come in 3 different sizes. ~Emma Lou
Emma-Lou, do you ever come to the Buffalo, NY area or across the border into Ontario, Canada? How I would LOVE to take some classes from you, especially in coloring, but I'd be thrilled to learn anything from you! Please do keep us updated if you are ever able to come here, it would be a huge blessing to those of us on both sides of the border!!! :)
I'm really looking forward to playing with vellum! I have the two flower-shaping tool sets you had on your store, your new HC flower-shaping kit is FANTASTIC, wishing I could justify buying it when I really have all of the tools, but I have encouraged others to buy it and may buy it as a gift, I know I'd be thrilled with such a gift! :) Looking forward to seeing what I can do with it. The flowers I have made already with your dies, just my preliminary two "batches" made in a couple of days have been so beautiful, can't wait to do more experimenting to see what comes of those. People on SCS have commented a lot on my flowers, they seem to like them and they are a bit different from what I've seen elsewhere which is really fun! All from your dies and taking ideas from your tutorials and then going off in my own direction. This is all new for me, a whole new world as crafting is relatively new for me, a few years and I haven't been able to do a whole lot due to health issues but am determined to do a lot more, I love this!
Hi Joanne! You can see our complete class schedule by visiting our website and then clicking on the classes link. We don't have anything on the schedule for Buffalo this year. The past couple years we used to teach at the CKC convention in Buffalo, but that event is not happening in Buffalo this year...what a bummer! ~Emma Lou
Heartfelt Creations Probably a very stupid question, Emma-Lou (sorry), what is CKC? Not something I know of, and I only knew of one stamping/scrapbooking show/convention that came to Hamburg, NY. Clearly something we around here (at least those I know in crafting). Getting to events is tough too, so even if you were in Buffalo, I wouldn't necessarily be able to get there. But I can wish and hope (chronic health situation limits my access to classes), and in the meantime, I learn so very much from your UA-cams. Thank you again, you are a huge blessing to me and to so many!!
Heartfelt Creations It stands for Creating Keepsakes Convention which used to be the past couple years in May.
I really enjoy watching your videos and actually think I can do this! My biggest problem is finding the right glue. I love your glue applicator. Could you tell me where to find it?
Hi Carol,
Thank you for watching:) The glue tip is specifically designed to go with the dries clear glue bottle. You can get yours here: www.heartfeltcreations.us/shop/crafting-accessories/adhesives/metal-tip-for-adhesive-bottles and www.heartfeltcreations.us/shop/crafting-accessories/adhesives/designer-dries-clear-adhesive ~Emma Lou

Love Love them, but how did you get the glitter and shine on them that really finished it off?
Great question Nicki, sorry I skipped over that! I used the dries clear glue with the fine metal tip and sprinkled dry glitter over the top. ~Emma Lou
Hi, i have just found your tips on vellum, i would like to ask (if i can find the words, im from Denmark) How com that sometimes the vellum cross/bend dont the right word, but it happens one of the time after i came some glitter glue on, and i dont remember what i came on the other time, is there something the vellum dont work together with ? Hope you have time to answer, i just love vellum... I will locking forward to follow you and your wonderful gift. Hugz from Eva.
Eva Bejlegaard Hi Eva, when stamping on the vellum, I stamp with a Colorbox Frost White Ink and heat emboss with white ranger embossing powder. This tends to stick and adhere very well.
What's the name/brand of the mat your using under the cutout items?
what type of glue do you use with the Vellum?
+Jean Gaissert Hi Jean, How are you? Vellum makes the most delicate projects:) I love to use the Art Glitter Dries clear glue: www.heartfeltcreations.us/product.php?product=2220 ~Emma Lou
