Forever Friends

October 2, 2023

Hello again everyone, Jackie here with todays inspiration. I actually made this card some time ago for a very dear friends birthday, I have used characters from past sets but you could easily use any of Joset’s characters for this design.

Step One:

Start by creating a watercolour background panel using a piece of watercolour paper and loosely paint a blue wash. Next Die cut a leaf shape into a piece of cardstock and once the background is dry use this to stencil two leaves in the centre.

Step Two:

Die cut and ink two more leaves in a different design then fix them on top of the stencilled leaves.

Step Three:

Build the characters adding some inking to the edges, add finer details using a white gel pen. Attach the panel to a top folding A2 card blank using 3d foam pads.

Step Four:

Add the sentiment of your choice then finish off with a few tiny die cut daisies.

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope I have inspired you. If you haven’t already got the raccoon and giraffe dies they are still available on the ECD websites. Happy crafting – Jackie x

Magic Halloween

September 29, 2023

Hi It is Els here with a new Blogpost. I love Halloween so I decided to make a Halloween card this time. I hope you will enjoy it and give it a try. I will place the images on my blog!

Finished card.

These are all the part you need.

Cut a piece of black paper at 71/2 – 11 and fold in half, your card is then 5 1/2 – 71/2. The striped paper is 51/4-71/4. The purple is 5-7 and I used the edge die to cut it on both sides. I cut a label out of the paper ( the one with the 2023). Distress the edges, and Ink them. Then glue them on top of each other.

Cut Flowers, leaves, and a spiral roll, then shape the flowers, and glue them together, now you can put some stamen in, and I did some copper cream on it to let them shine.

Place the cute scarecrow, and then you can place the flowers.

When you placed all the flowers, you can adhere that cute little wizard and his broom. He can sit on top of the flowers. Place a pumpkin and some black Mica flakes to finish it. I cut the spiral rolls and when you roll them up you make those roses. On my blog I will place the Images I used and the template for the rose.

Hello, Autumn

September 21, 2023

Hello, my crafty friends

Rajni Chawla here from Timeless Creations. Today it’s my turn to inspire you all with Elizabeth Craft Designs’ latest, Seasonal Classics Collection. It is a collection full of awesomeness with lots of flowers, foliage, birdhouse, Christmas fun, and lots more. Again I have 2 cards to inspire you. I have mixed and matched 3 die sets to create these beautiful fall cards.

Here is my first card.

I don’t know why, but I am addicted to using some frame or the other and use it as a backdrop for most of all the floral bouquets that I make for my handmade cards. And I love them for sure. This time I used the Stitched Indented Rectangle die set to create the slimline frame to showcase this beautiful fall wreath on the card front. I simply joined two die cuts by overlapping them and hid that under the wreath which I created using a die cut from the Fitted Circle die Set.

The circle die cut is inked using Wild Honey Distress ink and the sentiment stamped is from Seasonal Sentiments. The foliage used is from Floral Greenery 1 and Floral Foliage 1. I have used archival inks to color all the leaves.

The beautiful Sunflowers are created using Floral 26 and the wreath is made using Floral Foliage 1.

The tiny white filler is from Floral Minis. Make a slit between flower petals, glue, and overlap one petal to make it 5 or 4 petal flowers as per your choice…… that’s simple!!

Here are some more pictures showing the detailing on the flower petals and foliage. It really made the flowers look more lively.

Here is my second card for inspiration….similar supplies were used but quite a different look. I loved this one too.

The background is distressed in ombre and embossed using an embossing folder. I have used the largest of the Stitched Indented Rectangles to create the window. The birdhouse and the bucket are created using Floral Foliage 1.

Cardmaking Joset Designs Soft Finish Cardstock

Good cluck

September 20, 2023

Hii everyone,

I hope you’re all doing fine. Today I’m here to share a new small project with different collections from Elizabeth Craft Design. This week is the release of the new florals collection. I used the basket from one set for the cute ducks.

For the base I used the Stitched Indented Rectangle, kraft cardstock and paper from the Pretty Pastels paperpad. The edges are inked with Distress Ink Frayed Burlap.

I made the basket from the Floral Foliage 1 with Soft Finish Cardstock and Distress Ink. I used some small fasteners from Tim Holtz to make it look real.

At the top I did some inking with blue so it looks like water.

I made the cute ducks and cornfields also from Soft Finish Cardstock and Distress Ink. The smaller ducks are in the basket in the water.

At the top I did some stamping with the life is better on the farm stamp. I realy like the fishtail banners with stitching. They are perfect for the stitched rectangle.

I hope you like this post and got an idea with the basket.

Thankyou for visiting and see you next time!

Kind regards,

Lisanne Geerdink

Dreams can come true

September 18, 2023

Hello all, Jackie here with todays super simple inspiration which is perfect for those times when you need a card in a hurry. I have to say that this little guy has the most infectious smile!

Step One:

First I created a circular stencil from acetate using and a 3″ or 7.5cm circular die. Place the stencil onto a piece of white cardstock cut slightly smaller than an A2 (US) or A6 (UK) then use a blending tool to ink the centre.

Step Two:

Once the ink has dried off a little add a line of white gel pen just around inside edge, then round the top corner using a punch.

Step Three:

Build the Grasshopper as normal except you will need to move his head forward slightly so that he sits more upright on his leaf. Add ink around the edges of each piece before you glue them together to add character and dimension, you can also add a few white gel pen dots to his cheeks for a cute look.

Step Four:

Add a black line around the edge of the circle with a few squiggles adding a bit more detail to the background.

Step Five:

Finish off with the sentiment. I have white embossed onto black cardstock which is my favourite, I chose follow your dreams as he looks like he is hopping off into the sunset! But there would be a good few different sentiments that would work just as well.

That’s it for today, Thank you for reading and I hope you pop by again next time! Happy crafting –

Sweet Hydrangeas

September 7, 2023

Hello, my sweet friends!!

Today I am showcasing another beautiful floral die set from Elizabeth Craft Designs. My card today is inspired by a card that I saw on Pinterest long long back. It was something I always wished to create but couldn’t try due to some reason or the other. Thanks to the ECD Florals 2 die set which enabled me to try my hands on these beautiful Hydrangeas. The foliage used is from the same die set.

Here is the top angle of the card.

Since, I wanted to highlight the florals, I kept the card base simple and easy. Once again, the Stitched Indented Rectangle die set was on rescue. I used the largest 2 dies to create the frame. The center window was created using a decorative die from the Book Box die set.

I wanted to add a little shine and glitter to the florals, so I applied a thin coat of crystal lacquer and sprinkled glitter dust.

Here are a few more close-up shots of the floral bouquet. The sentiment is stamped with blue archival ink and is from the With Love Sentiment stamp. Beautiful hand-cut butterflies adorn and complete the card.

If you like to learn how I created these Hydrangeas, drop by my Instagram and keep an eye on the free Live Tutorial for the same which I will be announcing soon.

Here is the complete list of supplies used in the above projects. All the supplies used from Elizabeth Crafts Designs are linked directly for easy purchases.

Joset Designs Planner Essentials Sidekick Essentials Soft Finish Cardstock

Cozy winter

September 6, 2023

Hii everyone,

Here is a new blogpost from me. I’m totally in the Christmas Mood. A little while ago I made a Christmas Foodtruck during a Facebooklive. Today I made an another truck for the Christmas Season. At this truck you can buy your Christmas tree in different sizes.

I started with the truck from the Foodtruck dies. I used paper from the Beautiful Brights and Pretty Pastels. I also colored some pieces with Distress Ink and Soft Finish Cardstock. In the truck I adhere a table and a Christmas tree. I also made a cash desk.

The wheels are from a stamp from the Planner Essentials ‘cozy days’. The trees on top of the truck are from the Sidekick Essentials.

The gnome bought this year a small Christmas tree. The gnome is made with Soft Finish Cardstock and Distress Ink.

The trees fits perfect in these milk cans. I wish I have this at my home. The milk cans are from the Farm Accessoires. I die-cut 8 milk cans. I adhere the top of 2 milk cans together so it can stand.

And at least this signboard. I also die-cut this part 2 times so I can make it stand.

When you put everything togehter, you get this little scenery. Now you can understand that there are more possibilities with the truck for this festival. So soon you will see more.

Thankyou for visiting and see you the next time!

Kind regards Lisanne Geerdink

Have A Bee-Utiful Day A2 Card

September 5, 2023

Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. The new Bugs and Butterfly Collection is so much fun to play with. The Bee is just adorable and I pulled out my old Honeycomb die to create my background. If you don’t have the Honeycomb die in your stash then it can be substituted with the Layered Honeybee dies. Below are the steps to create your own card.

Step 1 – Trim White Soft Finish Cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″ and fold in half for a vertical side fold side. (A2)

Step 2 – Diecut Honeycomb and use the negative as a stencil. Place it on top of the card front and apply ink using a blender brush.

Step 3 – Diecut Bee in White and Black Cardstock. Using a blender brush apply Yellow Ink on the White Cardstock. For the flower and honey pot diecut in White Cardstock and use inks. Or if inking isn’t your thing then diecut in various colors of cardstock. Assemble and adhere to card front using Kid’s Choice Glue.

Step 4 – Stamp Bugs & Kisses sentiment using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

This card can be used for several occasions by changing the sentiment. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

3D christmas ornament

September 4, 2023

Hi all! Here is Sylvia again for you on the blog. I used to postpone making my Christmas cards as long as possible, which causes me to rush making them until the last moment. This year I decided to start early, as the end of the year is always hectic. So today I want to show you how I made this fun and easy 3D ornament, using only 2 different sets by Joset. And I have a little bonus card as well, made with the leftovers from the ornament. So let’s get started!

Step 1: using soft finish cardstock, diecut both rows of houses from set 1691 village edges, as well as the trees and the fence. Keep the little dropouts from the windows, you are going to need those! Using set 2065 shakers, diecut the solid circle in black, and (at least) four rings in soft finish cardstock. (if you want more dimension, cut more rings, as we are going to layer them). Cut the top of the ornament twice.

Step 2: Use the solid circle die to diecut the bottom of the house rows, so that they make a perfect fit in the ornament. (as you might notice, my back row has a gap at the side, I have fixed that). Glue the back row of houses on the black circle, layer at least 3 white rings on top of that.

Step 3: stack the dropouts from the windows in the exact same amount as the layer of rings you glued on (e.g. if you used 3 rings in step 2, use 3 dropouts on top of each other as well, so that your houses are at the same depth, 4 rings = 4 stacked dropouts etc) and glue the stacked dropouts at the back of the front row of houses. Glue the front row of houses in place at the bottom of the ornament.

Step 4: arrange trees and fence to your liking, cut off the excess. Glue another ring on top to make a nice finish. Glue the top of the ornament on back and front to make it extra sturdy.

As a bonus I made an extra Christmas card with the leftovers from the village edges. Here’s how to do that:

Step 1:  fold a piece of blue cardstock in half, put your solid die slightly over the fold so that it won’t cut all the way through and run it through your machine. Now you have a double round card with a top fold.

Step 2. Fold your card open, position the ring die on the front of the circle card and run it through but NOT all the way. Cut the imprinted circle by hand (see photo for reference). Now you have a solid circle card with a front open ring.

Step 3: Splatter some white ink or paint on the solid part. I used distress stain picket fence. Arrange the leftover houses from the first ornament (diecut the edges in the same way using the solid circle die) and arrange them on the card with the fence and some trees.

Step 4: diecut the bottom of the snowglobe 2 times, once as it is, once with an extra long piece of cardstock at the top that you can fold to make the card stand. Glue all pieces together, diecut the label in soft finish cardstock.  Stamp a sentiment from set CS 148 (or any other winter sentiment that fits) and adhere that to the bottom of the card. Notice my card fold on top isn’t exactly horizontal, I got a bit distracted when glueing the houses on, oops! (I guess that’s why my nickname is Silly 🙂

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask, I’d be happy to help you!

Happy crafting!

Love

Sylvia
