Hello dear friends, Piyanki here today to share an altered bottle with you. I am excited I could use Susan’s Garden flowers on something very different. It is the first time I have used Susan Tierney-Cockburn’s dies for something other than cards.
The hydrangea is one of my favourite flowers and I keep going back to it for many of my projects. (You can see a previous one here.)
HELLO !!!!
Welcome to the ECD blog. I hope spring is in full bloom in your garden. Flowers are popping up everywhere and winter blues are fading away.
Today I have tulips for you from Susan’s Garden and believe me, they are so beautiful!!! I have an entire dozen of them on my card.
Be sure to check out all of the new flower making dies from Susan’s Garden on the Elizabeth Craft Designs website. Meanwhile, have a look at these marvelous flowers.
More Love

Though Valentine’s Day is in the rear view mirror, I kept going with cards that use the ‘love’ die from the Baby Love set. I’m getting ahead for weddings and anniversaries. And I needed a special box for a pair of earrings I’m giving to a friend.
I’m nowhere close to done with that ‘love’ die. I’ve yet to use it with the word ‘Baby’! And I’m still happily choosing patterned papers and cutting leaves and flowers to make more of the Pitcher Cards…
Instead of specific instructions for each project, I’m going to provide some tips, design strategies, and a supply list so you can duplicate the cards as shown.
I hope you’ll use the ideas as a jumping-off point for cards with a similar feel in a totally different color palette or a different size. After all, no two people have the same stash of patterned papers, not everyone likes mixing together as many patterns as I do.
It’s Suzanne here today! I’ve always liked the look of magic wands, headbands with butterfly antennae, and I’m a big fan of plant picks and decorations that florists use as a special accent!
It’s the combination of something attention-grabbing at the top and a slender column below that I find appealing. Fragile and sturdy at the same time, top-heavy, but without toppling…And SO easy to make!
I decided to create some floral decor, though I can easily see decorated sticks in a pencil jar, peeking out of the headband of a party hat, transplanted to a flower pot…
Care to join me? Here’s the how-to:

Hi Everyone,
It’s Tina here today for Susan’s Garden Club. Have you seen the new dies from Susan’s Garden? They are absolutely stunning. Today I am showing you Garden Notes Hydrangea 2 and Garden Notes Ivy Vine. Below you will find the steps to replicate this card.
The finished card measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ when folded.
Hi, it’s Sandy Diller here with you and I have a fun project that could be used as a gift. I like taking a small gift to the hostess of a dinner party and this is just perfect for that. The pocket is the right size to hold a couple of handmade note cards with envelopes. This is a double tutorial today showing you how I made both the pocket and cards.
Hello my crafty friends! It’s Raquel Mason here today to share a spring card using the Iron Fence Pop Up. It’s so easy to change the style of the Iron Fence just by using spring colors. Let me show you how I made this card.
Hello Crafty Friends!
Welcome to the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog. I’m Anita here. Today, I have my favourite thing on the post for you – stamped flowers. Stamping is really relaxing and colouring stamped images can be a real stress buster.
I love colouring the floral stamps from the new ECD release. These are so lovely. You can check them out here. I have given a soft delicate look to the flowers by stamping some of them on vellum.
Here is my card, followed by a tutorial showing how to make it.
