Welcome a Bears Christmas!

November 24, 2023

Hi everyone, Katie here with todays inspirational post! I wanted to share a cute card I made using Oli the Bear from Joset’s new Collection “The Great Outdoors”. I have so many ideas for this sweet little bear so I started with a Christmas Card. So grab a coffee and lets begin.

Step 1: Using your favorite cardstock cut out your bear bits (I used two shades of brown) then ink your edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Step 2: Stamp your word image, I used “Wishing you a Beary Merry Christmas” from the Bear, Moose, Beaver stamp set.

Step 3: Out of your favorite cardstock cut out your pinecone, evergreen boughs and red berries, ink and assemble.

I am so in love with this new die set, the detail as you can see above is amazing.

Step 4: Cut the base for your card, I used 110lb cardstock in kraft, Next, I cut a back ground paper from a blue plaid designer paper and ran it through a 3D embossing folder. (hard to see the image, but its pine boughs). Then I took another designer paper and cut out a oval mat for my card.

Step 5: Start assembling your card by adding your designer paper and oval to your card base. Next, add your pine boughs and pine cones, I used pop-dots for the Oli and the “Beary Merry Christmas” . I added red berries.

Step 6: I added glossy accents to Oli’s Nose and berries.

Step 7: I added Bear Paw Prints to the inside of the card. Final step I speckled the pinecones and pine boughs.

I hope you enjoyed todays inspiration, see my Facebook page @Katie Porcina to see other Christmas Card inspirations. Take Care and Happy Creating.

Best Wishes Cards

November 23, 2023

Hello, my dear friends!!

Rajni Chawla, here from Timeless Creations. Today, I bring you 2 beautiful, bright, and cheerful Best Wishes cards to inspire you using Elizabeth Craft Designs floral dies. My hope for you is not only to inspire you with ECD floral dies but also that it bring you a little something more: happy vibes when you transform pieces of paper into impressive works of art for yourself or loved ones. Handmade paper flowers make just about any heart smile…and that- is the best gift of all! Isn’t it?

For the past few days, I really wanted to try my hands on a wooden background for my flowers. I was so sure that the bright colors of flowers would surely pop on the wooden background. I grabbed the new embossing folder and textured and inked a few papers. The result was so satisfying that once again could not resist and resulted in two cards for the day.

For the first card, I am focusing on Florals 5. I made some cuts on the edges of the petals to give the flower a different look. The foliage is from Floral Greenery-1 and Floral Foliage-1 . As usual, all the floral and foliage inking is done using Archival inks.

Here is the look of the card if viewed from the top. The sentiment Best Wishes comes from the Everyday Words 2 Die set and the label is cut using Layered Labels 1. The tiny mini filler flowers are from Floral Greenery 1.

Here is the second card for the day!! It’s a slimline card that I created using a Stitched Indented Rectangle Die set. Florals are created using Floral 26 and Florals 4. Foliage is from Floral 6.

Here is the look of the card if viewed from the top. The sentiment Best Wishes comes from the Everyday Words 2 Die set and the label is cut using Layered Labels 1. The tiny mini filler flowers are from Floral Greenery 1.

Friends to the End

November 6, 2023

Hello everyone it’s Jackie here with todays inspiration. I have used the brand new character dies from the new release ‘The Great Outdoors’ this card would be great to send a friend just to brighten their day.

Step One:

Start by creating the inky background. Smoosh two shades of blue distress oxide ink pad onto a sheet of acetate or plastic, spritz with water then lay a scrap piece of white card on top and gently push on the card to transfer the ink.

Step Two:

Make a few backgrounds to choose from. Trim one of them down to fit slightly smaller than an A2 card blank then use a sanding tool to create a rough edge, fix to the card front using double sided tape.

Step Three:

Die cut a cloud and sun shape from die set Once upon a time accessories – 1795 and fix in place using glue and 3d foam pads.

Step Four:

Die cut and build the two characters Liam and Jack, place them together so that Liam is looking over Jacks shoulder then attach them to the card front with more 3d foam pads. Dot their eyes with white gel pen to bring them to life.

Step Five:

Attach a length of grass at their feet to ground them. I have used a pretty border die from die set Lace borders – 2022 I think this die makes a great alternative to grass. Stamp out and white emboss the sentiment gluing half to Jacks body then use 3d foam pads for the other half.

That’s my finished card for today, These new characters are as adorable as ever and now they have names too! so form me, Jack and Liam – Happy crafting xx

Merry Christmas

November 3, 2023

Hello, lovely people!!

Have you all started prepping for the upcoming Christmas season? If not, I have this beautiful card to inspire you to get started. Elizabeth Craft Designs has beautiful Floral 24 for the easy and quick handmade Poinsettias.

To get started, I prepared a grungy looking embossed panel and layered an Stitched Indented Rectangle frame on the right edge of the card front. The basket made using Floral Foliage 1 was quick and easy to make.

The foliage from Floral 24 when cut in gold mirror cardstock added a real festive touch. The green foliage from the Pine Cones die set also enhanced the overall look of the floral bouquet.

The sentiment is stamped from the Seasonal Sentiment stamp set, using black archival ink on white cardstock and cut using a Layered Labels die set.

To add a little more seasonal touch I added lots of white tiny flowers from Floral Greenery 1. All the supplies used from Elizabeth Craft Designs are directly linked to the website for easy shopping.

Hope you liked my projects. I‘m always happy to hear from you. It is a joy to read your comments and I’m grateful to you all. Thank you for spending your precious time here. For more inspiration, you can follow me on Facebook, InstagramYouTube, and, Pinterest.

Double Pizza box

October 31, 2023

Hi, Marjolijn here. Today It’s my time to show you something I made. It’s a double pizza box, it can hold just a little more! And of course I made it in Halloween style!!!

I made the closure with a strip that I stamped on. Then tie a string around it and the spider keeps everything together.

The new Florals collection is so beautiful, I am in love with the pine cones! The berries were given a layer of glossy accents. With a little sisal in between it makes it just a little more alive. The lantern is not from E.C.D. but from my own collection. The text is made with the alphabet from the Art journal collection.

With a spider web in the top corner, no E.C.D either, and the mushrooms from Annette Green’s collection, it is really finished.

The box contains wonderful mood makers with a nice scent. And how did I turn it into a double box?

Well, that’s actually quite simple…

Die cut 2 boxes. I used a 12″ x 12″ sheet of cardstock.

For one box, cut the edge on the long side at the score line. Place double-sided tape on the long side of the other box. Unfortunately I don’t have the right size E.C.D. tape.

Punch a circle from one box for the view, this is of course an option because it is not necessary, without a window is also possible.

Remove the protective tape and apply some glue so that you can still slide a little.

Stick the box together, I cut off the flaps otherwise the box will be very thick in those places and you won’t need them.

Then you ink the box on the score lines both on the inside and on the outside. If you don’t like that, you can also omit this step.

Stick a piece of acetate on the inside.

And then you can decorate the box inside and out with design paper. I used the thin paper from Esther’s book for this, the thick paper is too thick, it won’t look nice.

By also giving the edges a layer of design paper you can hide the places where everything is put together.

The inside is fully decorated.

And the outside, you can decorate the box as you like. You can use it for all kinds of purposes, just like the small pizza box. Even to store larger die-cut parts if you like.

I hope you enjoyed today’s double pizza box project and will give it a try. Thanks for your visit 🙂

Love,

Marjolijn

Bright Sunflower Wishes

October 19, 2023

Rajni Chawla Here!! Back again on Elizabeth Crafts Design blog to inspire you with beautiful bright and sunny Sunflowers from the latest Seasonal Classic Collection. This collection is outstanding and the florals and foliage have taken my heart away. I have been always a big fan of Sunflowers and these are completely exceptional. I have been playing with Floral 26 a lot these days. You can look for more inspiration on my Instagram page here.

For the backdrop, I have created a grungy textured background and prepared a white and gold window to display the handmade flowers. The window is created using the beautiful die from the Book Box die set and Stitched Indented Rectangle die set. The sentiment tag is prepared using the Everyday Elements die set and Layered Labels 1

I have mixed and matched the foliage from various die sets. Like Floral 25, Floral Greenery 1, and Pine Cones

To add more beauty to the bright sunflowers and to make them pop from the grungy background, I added a few daisies which I created using Floral 9

Hello everyone, Jackie here. With Halloween just around the corner I thought I would share a spooktacular fun card with you all. The monster collection is one of my favourites and this little monster has been turned in to a pumpkin monster!

Step One:

Cut a panel of patterned paper measuring 3.75 x 5″ (9.52 x 12.7cm) and pop it up on to a top folding A2 (42 x 59.4cm) card blank using 3d foam pads. Die cut or scissor cut a circle of vellum that fits neatly on the panel and fix in place with a few pieces of double sided tape. Ensure to place the tape where it cant be seen.

Step Two:

Die cut all the pieces for the pumpkin monster including the stem part from set Festive Harvest – 2080. Ink around all the edges then trim a small piece from the top of the monsters head before adding the stem to the top.

Step Three:

Build the witch as normal using whatever colours you would like then attach the two characters’ to the card front.

Step Four:

Die cut a panel of grass from the slimline adventure edges die set – 1925 then trim it down to a thin strip. Next die cut a border from everyday elements lace borders – 2022. Glue the two together at a slightly crooked angle then fix under and in between the feet of the characters’

Step Five:

Finish off by attaching the stamped sentiment towards the bottom of the card using 3d foam pads.

Well that’s it for today, thank you for stopping by and I hope you have enjoyed my post. Until next time Happy crafting – Jackie x
