Hi! It’s Candy with another creation using Elizabeth Craft Designs products.

I love the Daisies in Oval Peel-offs from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Daisies are one of my favorite flowers and I love that you can get similar flowers in all sorts of colors. So, for this card I decided to color each of the daisies on the Peel-off sheet a different color.

1. Prepare stickers for coloring by applying them to cardstock and coating them with Silk Microfine Glitter like Els is demonstrating HERE.

2. Color with alcohol ink markers. I applied my darker colors first.

3. Then I use a lighter shade to blend the colors.

4. Cut out stickers.

5. Cut out four Accordion Oval Frames and assemble. You can watch Els demonstrating the accordion cards HERE.

6. Cut out Oval Flourish Frame Edges and adhere with Xyron.

7. Stamp sentiment.

8. Cut out daisy.

12. Adhere sentiment with dimensional foam adhesive.

13. Fold card and adhere ovals together.

Shimmering Daisies

May 30, 2014

Daisies Card Front Side View

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

I love the look of shimmery paint! I decided to try painting on black paper with Perfect Pearls.
The silver Daisies in Oval Peel-Off is the perfect subject for this technique!

Making the Card

1. Cut card base from black cardstock, 4 1/4 inches by 11 inches and fold in half.

2. Remove the Daisies in Oval Peel-Off from the backing sheet and stick to black paper.

3. Use the main die from the Accordion Oval Card to line up and cut around the Peel-Off.
Cut the tabs off so you just have a shadowed oval Peel-Off sticker.

4. With a small paintbrush and water, apply the Perfect Pearls to the daisy Peel-Off as shown.
You only need a very small amount of Perfect Pearls.

5. Cut a piece of Silver Metallic Shimmer Sheetz to 3 3/4 inches by 5 inches. Emboss with Swirly Curves. Apply black acrylic paint with a paper towel. Rub off excess. Some should stick in the grooves giving an antiqued/distressed look.

6. Cut a length of white ribbon to go around the bottom of the embossed piece of Shimmer Sheetz as shown; adhere it down, wrapping it around the sides. Adhere this to the black cardstock base.

7. Using the Accordion Oval Card accessory dies, cut the scalloped oval from black cardstock and the smaller stitched oval from the Silver Metallic Shimmer Sheetz. Make sure to use the Metal Adaptor Plate when die cutting Shimmer Sheetz. Adhere the silver stitched oval to the center of the black scalloped oval.

8. Die cut 3 copies of Hello from the black cardstock and adhere them on top of one another. Adhere this to the center of the silver stitched oval. Assemble the rest of the card as shown.

Daisies for Any Occasion

May 15, 2014

ECD daisy front 1a P1060540

Hello! Debra here to share a bright and cheery card to bring a smile to someones day. Flowers help us say I love You, Sorry, Thinking of You, Get Well, Miss You and just about anything else! They are so versatile and always appreciated – perfect for an any occasion card featuring the Daisy die – one of my favorites!

Here are the steps to create this card:

1. Fold a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of light green cardstock in half to form the card base.

2. Cut a piece of double-sided green pattern paper to 4 x 5 1/4 and die cut a window using the largest Fancy Label Square from the Accordion Fancy Label die, about 3/4″ from the top, centered. Save the die cut square to use on the card front.

3. Cut a 4 x 4 square of light green cardstock. Die cut it from the center of the Accordion Fancy Label die. Trim off the tabs.

5. Die cut daisy silhouettes from white cardstock covered with double-sided adhesive. Die cut daisy overlays from white cardstock. Die cut 3 leaves and 3 stems from dark green cardstock. Die cut 2 leaves from the green pattern paper.

6. Peel the liner off the daisy silhouettes and cover the adhesive with Warm Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter. Polish well with your finger to bring out the shine and set the glitter into the adhesive.

7. Using the daisy overlay as a guide, swipe a bit of Copic YR12 in the center of the daisy. Remove the overlay and color an oval where you swiped the color. Using Copic Y13 color a yellow circle around the orange oval picking up some of the color from the center. No need to be precise – just make sure to leave white showing around the edges.

9. To assemble the card, ink all pieces with green ink except the daisies. Adhere the die cut pattern paper piece with the chevron side up to the card base. Layer and adhere the two fancy frames. Adhere to card using pop dots. Adhere the two daisies on the right using pop dots for extra dimension as well. Add stems tied with twine and fill in any spaces with die cut leaves to complete. Here is a close up for placement:
