Elizabeth Craft Designs December Designer Challenge – Glitter and Shimmer Sheetz

December 31, 2014

Welcome everyone to the last ECD Designers Challenge for this year. Wow, this year flew by so fast! Since December is the month of festivities we thought some extra glitter and sparkles would be nice, therefore we challenged our team to create projects using our Silk Microfine Glitter and Shimmer Sheetz. We didn’t request a particular theme so the team created Thank You cards, Birthday cards, cards for any occasion or for no special reason. There’s even a New Year’s card! We hope you enjoy seeing all of the projects.

First project is from Frances Byrne who created this beautiful sparkly card using our new transparent double sided adhesive tape, a combination of Silk Microfine Glitter colors and Blue Iridescent Shimmer Sheetz. The background looks very complicated but is actually really easy to create. Just add strips of double sided tape to white cardstock. Peel off the release paper covering the tape lines, one color at a time, and add the glitter. More info on Frances’ blog.

Next project is from Rita Edwards who used the Lucy Label Pop Up to create this beautiful bright sunshine-filled card. She used the Gold Metallic Shimmer Sheetz to create the sun and Cool Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter for the boots and the umbrella. Love the added Red Glitter Dots.

Love the sparkly background on this beautiful, elegant card from Candy Spiegel. She used the Pinecones Embossing Folder and a piece of Gold Metallic Shimmer Sheetz. For the purple stripes she used Amethyst Silk Microfine Glitter.

Karen Aicken made this beautiful tag using Tags & More 1 – Lace, Dragonfly Silhouette, Dragonfly Overlay and Hello dies. Love the colors she used. Karen added Silk Microfine Glitter to the top and bottom portion of the tag and to the dragonfly overlay. For the dragonfly silhouette and the Hello she used Shimmer Sheetz.

Love this next card created by Debra Hensley. For the background she used Shimmer Sheetz and our Bouquet Embossing Folder. Sanding the Shimmer Sheetz lightly will bring up the white core and add more detail. The bright red flower looks stunning with the purple background. For more details, make sure to visit Debra’s blog.

Raquel Mason created this elegant card using the Rose and Thank You dies. For the rose she used Red Metallic and Peridot Gemstone Shimmer Sheetz. She created a gorgeous lace background using Silk Microfine Glitter. Love the added black Peel-off border.

Next card is from Mary Prasad who created this beautiful Thank You card using the Spiral Circle Pull card and the clock and gear from the Clock and Gears die set. Really like the patterned paper Mary used for this card. A timeless card that can be used for many occasions.

A stunning card from Kelly Booth using the Bouquet Embossing Folder, Shimmer Sheetz and Silk Microfine Glitter. Kelly used the same lace technique with glitter that Raquel used for the background of her card (already shown). For the inside of the card she used Karen Burniston’s Happy Birthday Pop Up.

The last project for our challenge is from Jackie Smith who created this stunning Asian-theme Happy New Year card. Jackie used a combination of dies, Shimmer Sheetz and glitter all matching with the beautiful patterned paper she chose for her card. The Blue Glitter Border adds a nice finishing touch. More info on Jackie’s blog.

We hope you enjoying today’s challenge and feel inspired to try some of the projects yourself. We would like to thank our wonderful Design Team for all their beautiful work they created for the blog this year. We also would like to thank Karen Burniston and her wonderful team for the monthly challenge and our guest designers for their stunning work!

Then last but not least we wish everyone a Happy New Year! For next year we have a lot of fun new products in store so stay tuned!

A Sparkly Snowflake Thank You!

December 29, 2014

Hi It’s Kelly Booth here with a Sparkly Snowflake Thank You card using some fun supplies by Elizabeth Craft Designs. It’s a very simple card but also very elegant using just a few products.

I love ECD’s Glitter Dots Peel-offs and new Transparent Double Sided Adhesive Tape. They make it so easy to add some sparkle to a card. The ECD Snowflake Dies and Embossing Folder are favorites of mine.

1. Cut a piece of white cardstock 4″ 1/4″ by 11″ and score at 5″ 1/2″ making a top fold card. Open the card so it is flat, insert only the bottom 2 1/2″ of the card front into the embossing folder and run it through the die cutting/embossing machine. See photo below.

2. Take a piece of 3mm Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape and place a strip on the card front just above the embossed area. Remove the top protective layer from the tape and sprinkle some Solar Gold Silk Microfine Glitter on the adhesive. Polish with your fingers and brush off the excess glitter.

3. Using a small scrap of white cardstock about 3″ by 4″ place a piece of the Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Adhesive the same size on to the cardstock. Remove the top layer and cover adhesive with Silver Silk Microfine Glitter. Polish with your fingers and brush off the excess glitter. Take another piece of adhesive 3″ by 4″ and place it on the back of the silver glittered piece. Place the Elizabeth Craft Designs (788) Thank You die on the silver glittered piece and run it though your die cutting machine. You might need to use a shim for this to get it to cut better. Peel the backing from the words Thank You and place them (centered) above the gold glittered line.

4. Back a piece of white cardstock about 4″ x 5″ with ECD Transparent Double Sided Adhesive Sheet. Die cut one of each of the three snowflakes in the Snowflakes die set.
Peel the backing from the snowflakes one at a time and arrange them on the top portion of the card front.

5. Place a Glitter Dot Peel-off in each circle on the three die cut snowflakes. Your card is now finished!

I hope you have been inspired to give some of these fun Elizabeth Craft Designs products a try! Thank you for stopping by the blog today and have a wonderful day!

Christmas Tree

December 25, 2014

Hello my crafty friends,

This is Rita Edwards here. I hope you are all enjoying your Christmas day. I wanted to share this tree card that I created for my uncle. It has a little shine, a little elegance and is yet not too feminine. This card is for you Uncle Danny!

As always, I hope you have a nice cup of coffee or tea in your hand so you can sit back and enjoy my tutorial.

Here is how I created my tree card:

1. Using My Mind’s Eye’s Vintage Christmas or your favorite paper pads, cut a darker patterned cardstock 6″ x 12″. Score at 6″ and fold to create the base layer of our card. Cut a lighter patterned cardstock 5 3/4″ x 11 3/4″, score at 5 7/8″. Adhere to the inside of the base layer.

2. Cut a lighter cardstock 5 3/4″ x 5 3/4″, which will be the top layer of our card. We will be creating a Christmas tree on this layer, set aside.

3. Cut a piece of scrap paper 3 1/2″ x 4″ and score at 1 3/4″, fold and trim diagonally to create a triangle guide for our Christmas tree. Draw straight lines horizontally at 1/2″ increments. Using temporary craft tape, place the triangle to the desired location of your Christmas tree.

4. Using the 2 little line dies from the Lucy Label Pop Up die set, position the dies at the end of each line, secure with temporary craft tape and die cut. Repeat with each line until the tree outline is complete.

5. Using a light ribbon, starting at the bottom of the Christmas tree, run the lace to create the actual Christmas tree.

6. Adhere the ribbon on both ends with permanent glue tape on the back. Also add three-dimensional adhesive foam squares, which will lift the layer allowing plenty of room for the ribbon on the back of the layer.

7. Using green cardstock, die cut ‘Merry Christmas’ and ‘Happy New Year’. Adhere to card front.

8. Using a piece of brown scrap paper, cut the tree trunk and adhere onto the card.

9. Using the White Iridescent Shimmer Sheetz, die cut several little snowflakes from the All Seasons Tree die set, finish with glitter dots and randomly adhere to the front of the card.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hugs, Rita

Fast & Easy Thank You Cards

December 25, 2014

Guest Designer Judi Kauffman is here today with an idea that is perfect for this time of year and suitable year round.

Fast & Easy Thank You Cards

By Judi Kauffman

My parents thought it was important for my sister and me to send handwritten thank you notes within three days of receiving a gift. To encourage the habit we got to make whatever kind of card we wanted and there were always lots of colorful pens and pencils for writing a message inside. It was so much fun that I’ve never stopped making and sending Thank You cards. For me, an envelope and a stamp will carry my gratitude across town or across the country and beyond in a way that is not possible with a keyboard and the “Send” button.

The Thank You cards I’m making this year take only a couple of minutes. Here’s the recipe:

Top an A2 (4.35” x 5.5”) top-fold card base with a 2.5” strip of solid color cardstock, .5” from bottom edge; layer on a 1.25” strip of paper with a small repeat pattern.

Add an embossed or de-bossed and sanded 1” x 5” strip of Shimmer Sheetz. If the pattern includes flowers, add a Glitter Dot to the center of each one.

Die cut the Stand Up Helper Thank You from Red Velvet Adhesive Sheet; trim, leaving the bar across the bottom of the words.

Add the Thank You band and a plain or fancy border peel-off strip. Done!

TIPS:

Make a batch of cards instead of working one at a time and you’ll always have Thank You cards on hand when needed.

Switch the color palette (Velvet Adhesive Sheets come in lots of colors, good old basic Black will work with almost any paper choices).

Switch to a vertical side-fold card instead of a horizontal top-fold.

Use this fast and easy card idea for other occasions. Substitute different Stand Up Helper word bands (Happy Birthday, Thinking of You, etc.) or choose peel-offs for the greeting instead of die cutting your message.

Supplies:

Elizabeth Craft Designs –

Any embossing folder (shown: E117 Flower Power)

Any Shimmer Sheetz (shown: SS0102 White Iridescent)

Any border peel-off (shown: 1275 Ribbon Radar)

Any Stand Up Helper word die (shown: 941 Thank You)

Glitter Dots in any color (shown: 7018 Red/Gold)

Velvet Adhesive Sheets in any color (shown: 402 Red)

Other – Sanding block; Die cutting/embossing machine; Solid cardstock, patterned papers (Bazzill Basic Papers, Graphic 45); A2 envelopes

Faux Embossed Snowflake Card

December 24, 2014

Created by Mary Dimercurio Prasad for the Elizabeth Craft Designs DT.

This is a fairly easy card to make yet looks elegant and clean. The subtle sparkle in the sentiment is perfect for a frosty snowflake theme.

Making the Card

1. Cut a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 inch blue cardstock in half so you have two pieces of 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch sheets. Fold one in half for a card base.

2. Cut a piece of white cardstock 4 x 5 1/4 inches.

3. Die cut snowflakes from white cardstock using the two smallest dies from the Snowflakes set. Arrange them on the white rectangle cut in step 2. Glue them in place as shown in the photo, trimming off excess that extends beyond the edges of the rectangle.

4. Cut five copies of Merry Christmas from white cardstock. Cut one copy from blue cardstock. Glue the white copies together, lining them up carefully, to form thick words.

5. Add some removable adhesive to a sheet of scrap paper. Stick the blue words to it. Tap embossing ink over the words. Coat with holographic embossing powder and heat. (If there are jagged edges, hold with tweezers and heat again.) Glue to top of white stacks.

6. Cut a strip of vellum 2 x 7 inches. Wrap it around the white snowflake background as shown. Adhere on the back side.

7. As shown: Adhere the words, adhere white ribbon below them. Tie a bow and adhere.

Gingerbread House Card

December 23, 2014

Happy Holidays Crafty Friends!

The sights and smells of the holiday season are all around and one of my favorites is Gingerbread! I love making it, eating it, and seeing amazing Gingerbread houses created by incredible artists. I thought it would be fun to take the Holiday House die and make a Gingerbread House-inspired card. I love how it turned out!

Here’s how I made this card:

1. Fold a 5 1/2″ x 8 1 /2″ piece of white cardstock in half to form a standard A2 size card base. Cut a piece of pattern paper to 5 1/4″ x 4″, ink edges with blue ink and adhere to card front.

2. Adhere ECD Transparent Double Sided Adhesive to a sheet of white cardstock approx 5 1/2″ x 4″. Die cut the snowy hill using the hills from Outdoor Edges. Die cut 2 small rooflines and one large one from Holiday House. Glitter with Cool Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter, polish with your finger to set glitter into the adhesive and bring up the shine.

3. Die cut the other pieces for the card, including 3 decorator trees in light blue cardstock from the Evergreen Pivot Card die.

4. Ink edges off all house pieces except white ones with brown ink. Using a white Gel Pen, draw “frosting” scallops on the roof. Add transparent silver glitter dots to the trees. Assemble the individual parts of the house.

5. Assemble card front. Adhere snowy hill about 1/2″ from the bottom of the card. Add background trees. Adhere large house directly to card front. Add roof with chimney on foam adhesive. Add both door pieces on foam adhesive. Add glitter dots and glitter borders as “candy” decorations on the house.

6. Die cut Merry Christmas from red cardstock and adhere inside card along with 2 strips of pattern paper and a red heart to complete.

Here’s another view of the front for placement.

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season! Thanks for stopping by today. Try making your own Gingerbread House-inspired card with the Holiday House die and see what wonders you can create!

Glitter Lotus Flower

December 22, 2014

Hello my crafty friends, it’s Raquel Mason here today. With the busy holiday season upon us, I’d like to show you how to make a quick shimmery & sparkly card with only a few supplies. You can change the sentiment to suit your needs as Elizabeth Craft Designs has so many wonderful word peel-offs to choose from.

1. Cut a piece of gray cardstock at 5.5 x 8.5 and score at 4.25 for an A2 sized base card.

2. Cut a piece of White Iris Shimmer Sheetz at 4 x 5.25. Emboss using Ginko embossing folder. Swipe Teal Blue StazOn ink directly on top of the embossed areas. Use a sanding block to distress and remove some color, wipe off dust. I added some rubbing alcohol to a cotton ball then rubbed it on the Shimmer Sheetz to remove more color. Adhere to card base.

3. Cut a piece of teal cardstock at 3.25 x 4.25 and die cut top portion using Tags & More 1 – Lace to create the tag.

4. From gray cardstock die cut (2) decorative corner pieces and (1) reinforcement. Adhere these pieces to tag, use photo for placement. Add ribbon through the reinforcement hole and tie a bow with twine. Adhere to card base.

5. From gray cardstock die cut Lotus Flower.

6. Adhere a piece of Transparent Double Sided Tape Sheet to white cardstock that is large enough to fit the Lotus Flower, then die cut Lotus Flower overlay. Remove the release sheet, cover with Antique Silver Silk Microfine Glitter, shake off excess and polish with your finger. Adhere die cut overlay to gray Lotus Flower from step 5.

7. Use dimensional tape to adhere Lotus Flower to card.

8. Apply Thinking of You peel-off on the tag. Use photo for placement.

9. Optional: emboss the flap of your envelope using Ginko embossing folder.

I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial and feel inspired to try it out yourself.

Happy Crafting,

Raquel

Merry Christmas Stand Up Card

December 19, 2014

Hi everyone,

It’s Frances here today. Christmas is less then a week away, so I am sharing one last Christmas card I created using Peel-Offs and one of the Stand Up Helper Word dies. This card is a variation of one created by Karen Aicken earlier in the year where she had the main stand up portion of the card in the center and two flat panels on either side. I thought it would be fun to just have one flat panel on one side which means the side panel can be adjusted depending on how you wish to decorate it. This also makes it easier to use the longer Stand Up Helper word dies for this style of card. If you want more details on Karen Aicken’s card you can find it here.

Here is how I created my card:

1. Cut a piece of white card so it is 5 1/2 inches x 8 1/2 inches. Score at 4 1/4 inches along the 8 1/2 inch side and fold. You now have a card that is 5 1/2 inches x 4 1/4 inches.

2. On the front of your card measure 1 3/4 inches from the left hand side. Use your trimmer to cut from the bottom of your card to the fold line to create two separate pieces. Cut only the two pieces on the front of the card. Decorate the left hand panel with designer paper which measures 1 1/2 inches x 4 inches and the right hand panel with designer paper which measures 3 1/2 inches x 4 inches. Find the centre of the right hand panel, score and fold into a mountain fold.

3. Open the right hand panel of the card and measure up from the edge of the card 1 1/8 inches, position the Merry Christmas Stand Up Helper die so that the straight edge of the die is on the 1 1/8 inch mark. Make sure the die is centered within the right hand part of the card. Secure die with removable tape so it doesn’t move while die cutting. Tip: Ensure both the left and right hand front panels are lifted up when die cutting the sentiment. Die cut the Merry Christmas Stand Up Helper die again this time from red card, trim along bottom edge and adhere to the Merry Christmas on the main card. Fold the Merry Christmas up so it is standing upright.

4. Cut a piece of blue designer paper 3 3/4 inches x 3 inches. Adhere this to the inside of the card so it covers the hole from when we die cut the Merry Christmas Stand Up Helper. Make sure there is approx an 1/8 inch border on the right hand side and the top of the card. Cut a piece of designer paper 3 3/4 inches x 7/8 inches and adhere this to the right panel in front of the Merry Christmas Stand Up Helper die. (Note: a small amount of designer paper will be in the area under the left hand panel).

5. Glue the left hand panel to the back panel.

6.From the Jackie’s Christmas Dolls in Oval Peel-Off Stickers, place the Girl with Handwarmer and Hat Peel-Offs onto white card that has Elizabeth Craft Designs Transparent Double Sided Tape Sheet on top. Remove release sheet, cover peel-offs with Warm Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter and polish glitter with your finger. You can see a video Els created using this technique here. Color your images as desired. Add Transparent/Silver Glitter Dots to the circles on the girl’s dress. Cut out oval shape and hat.

7. Use the main die from the Accordion Oval Card set to cut an oval from white card. Trim out the inner oval and use this to layer the Jackie’s Christmas Dolls in Oval image to. Place foam tape to the lower half of the back of the image and attach it to the bottom portion of the right hand panel.

8. Adhere the hat image to the bottom right hand corner of the card as per photo. Add three of the black snowflakes to the blue designer paper on the inside of the card.

9. Die cut two of the small snowflakes from the Snowflakes Die set from white card which has been covered with Elizabeth Craft Designs Transparent Double Sided Tape 64mm. Remove protective backing and add Warm Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter and polish glitter with your finger. Add Red/Gold Glitter Dots to each of the snowflakes. Attach to left hand panel using foam tape.
