Welcome to day three of the Elizabeth Craft Designs and Tombow Blog Hop. I am so happy to join the last day of the blog hop. I hope you all enjoyed the wonderful projects our Design Team created for you! If you are here from Karen Aicken then you’re in the right place. If not then you may want to start at the beginning of the hop at the Tombow Blog.
For my project I used one of our new Peel-offs combined with the Karen Burniston Katie Label Pivot Card die set that matches the Flower Labels peel-offs. For coloring I used the Tombow Dual Brush Pens. The colors of the pens are just beautiful and I love the technique of blending using the blender pen. I really enjoyed making this card. Please follow my instructions below. Oh and don’t forget to read about our blog hop prize at the end of this post!
Thank you for stopping by,
Els
Instructions:
1. Place outline peel-offs onto watercolor paper. (Save the negative – you will be using these leftovers later in the project)
2. Using the Tombow Dual Brush Markers shown in the photo, layer the color in the leaves using the lightest marker first to fill the entire leaf. Then add the darker tones as shown in the photo. The base of the leaf and the areas where leaves overlap will be darkest, the tips will remain light. Use the blender pen to soften the colors and create the shading. Repeat for the flowers, again working light to dark, blending the colors with the blender pen. Add a soft background with color 020 and the blending pen.
3. Cut out the flower label and the individual flowers. Add tiny Glitter Dots to stamens.
(There are 4 sizes on the Glitter Dot Peel-offs sheet, use the smallest)
4. Die cut a pivot card with two layers cut at the same time: Outside layer = solid color cardstock 4.25″ x 11″ scored at the center. Inside layer = patterned paper 4″ x 10.75″ scored at the center and held in place with temporary tape so the score lines match. Die cut largest accessory piece label from patterned paper, die cut next largest label from 2 labels from solid color cardstock that matches Tombow 020 as closely as possible.
5. Die cut Happy Birthday from Black Velvet Adhesive Sheet.
6. Cut away the label shapes from the patterned paper and glue it to the inside of the card.
7. Glue the crocus label and one of the individual crocus flowers to the inside of the pivot card.
Glue the patterned and solid color labels to the left side of the pivot. Add Happy Birthday.
8. To decorate the outside of the card, glue a 1.75″ x 4.25″strip of dot pattern paper to the left and right sides of the outside of the card. Glue the two remaining colored crocus to the right side of the card (the front when the card is closed).
9. Remove the black background around the leftover peel-off sheet pieces as shown in the photo below. Use the Transfer Sheet to pick up the pieces, first the label, then the flowers (one at a time). Position the label pieces on the back of the pivot that has the colorful crocus on the front. Position two of the single crocuses at the bottom right of the inside of the card.
10. Add a fine line decorative peel-off to the edges of the patterned paper on the inside of the card and at the edge of the dot pattern strips on the outside of the card.

11. Fold the card so it stands, with the frame as a valley fold and the pivot labels as a mountain fold. (Card folds flat for mailing)

Hi, it’s Karen Burniston with the April Pop it Ups Designer Challenge. Each month I challenge my Designer Challenge team to use Pop it Ups dies for a specific theme. This month the theme is Mother’s Day and/or Baby cards. You’ll find eighteen inspiring projects below from the DC team.
A few weeks ago we attended the Collins Rep Group Spring Training event in Boston. We decided to release a new die as part of that show. The House Pivot Card Die (#902) is shipping this week to stores who ordered it at the show. Starting next week the orders will go out to stores who didn’t attend the show but ordered the die.
For my project I decided to use the new House Pivot Card die for a Mother’s Day card. In addition to the House Pivot Card die (which comes with the pivot card die plus 7 accessory dies) I also mixed in decorator pieces from three other Pop it Ups dies; the All Seasons Tree, Fancy Accordion and the grass from the Garden Bench.
Watch this video tutorial to learn how to use this die as I create the following Mother’s Day card. If you watch till the end you’ll also see additional House card samples.
For my card I kept the front pretty simple, with just a couple of clouds, an extra chimney and some grass.
The card’s interior features the All Seasons Tree (the “cloud” dies that come with the tree can be used for clouds or for foliage), the grass from the Garden Bench die, and the Fancy Labels from the Fancy Accordion die. I computer-generated the greeting in the style of the inspiration item (a mug) that I purchased for Mom.
In this next photo you can see a close-up of the details on the house. The brick emboss is created by the House decorator die by rolling it back through a die cutting machine with an embossing sandwich. (Watch the video to see this done) The little window frames have built-in window boxes which will also look like awnings if they are turned to the top. (Wouldn’t this die make a cute little bakery?) The extra fence picket can also be used as a birthday candle.
Some of the footage that ended up on the cutting room floor showed a couple of variations for using the House Pivot Card die, where you can make a double house pivot card or a double fence pivot card. However, I know that Raquel Mason has some examples of this technique coming up soon on this blog, so stay tuned for that!
Supplies:
Elizabeth Craft Designs Products
902 House Pivot Card Die set (call your local store to order!)
Other Supplies – Bazzill cardstocks, My Mind’s Eye “Lost and Found Market Street” Papers, pop dots, fine line glue, Copic E47 marker (back of white pickets for distressed bleed-thru look), computer-generated greeting
Time to see how the Designer Challenge team interpreted the Mamas & Babies challenge. I will share one photo of each project, but know that the designers have full blog posts on their blogs (linked with their names) for these projects, including supply lists, instructions and additional photos. I encourage lots of clicking to fully experience the beauty.
Let’s start with MAMAS!
Fran Sabad has created the mother of all Mother’s day cards! This three-page Circle Accordion album, with matching Frame Edges, knocks my socks off! Such a pretty and spectacular card. As I would say . . . Frantastic!
Frances Byrne also created a stunning Mother’s Day Accordion album by mixing two Circle Accordion pages with one Fancy Accordion page. She explains how to do it on her blog and the results are amazing. Love the use of the coordinating Frame Edges dies for each page and the beautifully glittered and colored Roses Peel-off Stickers.
Summer Hills-Painter just had her third little boy, so I was expecting to see a Baby card from her, but she went with gorgeous Mother’s Day cards instead. Both of her creations feature bold striking colors that work so well together. First up is her Oval Accordion card featuring the Oval Flourish Frame Edges. The Roses in Oval Peel-off Sticker has been glittered and colored to match the red/white/black color scheme. Love this!
Now let’s look at what Helen Cryer created with the same Oval Accordion die. This is the beauty of die cutting, where YOU choose your colors, textures and theme. This is also a Mother’s Day card, but with more of a homespun country feel. I love Helen’s choices of embellishments for her Mum.
With no prior consultation the designers managed to make cards with all three Accordion Album shapes and all four Pivot Card shapes (my House card is the fourth Pivot Card). Let’s check out the designer creations using the other three Pivot Card shapes, the Katie Label, Butterfly and Heart.
First up, Shelly Hickox with a drop dead gorgeous Mother’s Day card using the Katie Label Pivot Card. She’s added some decorator dies from the Butterfly Accessory die and the Agatha Edges. On the front of her card (click over to see!) she’s done a brilliant whitewash technique with the Damask Embossing Folder. You can also see this card in action on Shelly’s blog courtesy of a short Vine video.
Raquel Mason used the Heart Pivot Card die perfectly for this sweet Mother’s Day card featuring a suspended chain of hearts and the included key die. She has a ton of clever techniques in this card and you’ll definitely want to click over to her blog post to read them all. Fabulous!
Summer Hills-Painter made a second Mother’s Day card, this time with the Butterfly Pivot Card die. She also used the Agatha Edges and the Katie Label decorator dies for her greeting. The colors again are non-traditional, but work so well together. The edging effect is very striking.
Kelly Booth made this sweet Mother’s Day card for her daughter. The Lots of Pops die is perfect for creating layered pop-up scenes like this one, featuring glittered and colored Peel-off stickers. The die set includes the pole and a few banners as well.
Donna Wright went with bright bold colors for this Mother’s Day card, using the Lucy Label pop-up die and Agatha Edges, and embellishing the front of the Lucy Label with the Katie Label decorator dies. (In real life Katie and Lucy are only marginally good at playing nicely together, but in die form they blend spectacularly) I love her use of other ECD dies to create the vase of flowers.
Karen Aicken made this adorable birthday card for the challenge. How does it fit the theme? Her daughter was born on Mother’s Day! Karen has used the Lots of Pops die and the Agatha Edges flourish along with some adorable stamped, glittered and colored bird stamps to celebrate the occasion.
Gretchen Schmidt made a lovely Mother’s Day card using an embossing folder and decorator dies from several Pop it Ups dies, but not for a pop-up card. What a perfect illustration of the possibilities (not just pop-a-bilities) with the Pop it Ups collection. This uses the Butterfly Embossing Folder, Butterfly Pivot Card and Fancy Accordion dies.
Next up: BABIES!
Kelly Booth knows a thing or two about color, that’s for sure! Check out the ombre mottled coloring on the onesie, created with an ink/water splash technique. So perfect! She’s used the Lucy Label Pop it Ups die to create her little scene, but also embellished with decorator dies from the Katie Label Pivot die.
Helen Cryer created an explosion of celebration with her Lots of Pops new baby boy card. The pole and banners come included with the Lots of Pops die and she’s used the clouds from the All Seasons Tree in the background. I particularly like her choice to use big bold letters and have them hang off the edges. What a great celebratory feel!
Once again the designers (with no consultation) represented all three Accordion Album shapes into their baby cards. Karen Aicken has this stunner using the Fancy Accordion Album for a 3-page baby boy card for her new grandson Zachary. What amazing details! The Fancy Frame Edges are also used on this card.
I like to refer to the cards made by Frances Byrne as “downunderful” (because she’s Australian and her cards are wonderful – you dig?) and this Oval Accordion baby card is no exception! She incorporated the Oval Dots Frame Edges on the album and super cute perfectly colored stamped images. Downunderful!
Fran Sabad created this soft and lovely baby card using the Circle Accordion die with the Square w/Circle Frame Edges. All of the Accordion Albums will work with any number of pages. I am super impressed with Fran’s attention to detail on the Frame Edges for the striped page – she made the pattern line up!
Caroline “Caz” Counsell was recently featured in the Daily Mail for her awesome craft shed (crafty palace). You’ll definitely want to click to Caz’s blog to see photos of our resident celebrity! For her DC card she used the Trendy Tiles 1 Embossing folder on the edge of a sparkly Heart Pivot Card celebrating baby. Click to her blog to see the inside.
Donna Wright used the Katie Label Pivot Card for this adorable baby girl card with the Agatha Edges. Check out that cute clothespin holding up the onesie! I really like that Donna illustrates that card size is completely up to the crafter – here she’s used a short long card.
Thank you to the amazing team for posting incredible creations every month. Join us on May 21, 2014, for the next Karen Burniston Pop it Ups Designer Challenge. The theme will be “FLY” and the designers may interpret the theme any way they choose. This will make for some fun cards, I’m sure!
Stay in the loop on all the other amazing cards being posted daily using Pop it Ups dies by Liking my Facebook Page, signing up for my mailing list on my Blog, and following my Pinterest Boards.
Hello! Helen here again, this time with an Accordion Circle Album card, featuring the Hat Peel-Off stickers.
Instructions
1. Place the Hat Peel-offs on watercolor paper.
2. Color with Tombow Dual Brush pens. Use a water brush for blending. (TIP: Scribble some of the ink onto a shiny surface, and use the water brush to pick up the ink to paint with.)
3. Once dry, fussy cut around the hats.
4. Die cut a colour-coordinatingcolour circle of Shimmer Sheetz for each of the hats, using the Accordion Circle Card die.
5. Emboss each circle using the Lots of Dots embossing folder. With a file, lightly sand the raised dots to reveal the white and silver core of the Shimmer Sheetz.
6. Die cut 4 accordion pages from white cardstock , and 4 accordion frames from patterned paper.
7. Using one of the decorator dies from the Accordion Circle Card set, die cut 4 scalloped circles from white cardstock.
8. Adhere all the card elements together, fixing the separate pages together last. Use foam pads to adhere the hats for extra dimension.
9. Die cut bow from Pink Velvet Adhesive Sheets and adhere onto white cardstock. Adhere some velcro to the back of the bow and another little piece at the top of the centre fold of the album.
This way the bow can be removed in order to fold the card.
10. Punch four holes in the corners of each page, and strung through twine. Cover holes with gold brads. Hand cut some bunting flags, stamp ‘happy birthday’ onto them, and adhere to twine.
Here’s a close-up of the first two pages.
And a close-up of the second two pages.
There are so many fun techniques to be had with Elizabeth Craft Design’s products! I hope you feel inspired to try some of them!
Hello Everyone! Debra here excited to share a fun card with you using the Accordion Oval Card and Oval Dots Frame Edges dies. I love the accordion dies because all the work is done for you in the design of the dies, making it easy to create a unique card that will wow the recipient for sure!
Here’s how I made this card:
1. Diecut the Accordion Oval Card base from brown bling cardstock. Die cut the Oval Dots Frame Edges from the non-shiny side of the same cardstock and adhere together. Diecut another base from pattern paper and clip out the center oval. Adhere to center of base. Die cut large oval from pattern paper and add to center of base. Ink edges with brown ink. Adhere the two panels together.
2. Stamp and color the boy image. Stamp the image a second time to color and cut out the overall and hat. Adhere both on base image using foam tape for dimension.
3. Pick a cupcake from the Cupcakes Peel-offs and adhere to a square of cardstock covered with Double Sided Adhesive. Add Warm Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter and polish to bring out the shine and set the glitter. Color with alcohol based markers. You can find a tutorial by Els on this technique HERE
4. Cut out cupcake and adhere to the right center oval of the card base using foam adhesive. Adhere boy image to the left center oval.
5. Add a string of paper twine from the fishing rod to the cupcake on the opposite oval. Add a “hook” made from a small piece of negative sticker from a silver Corner Peel-off.
6. Die cut Happy Birthday and add to ovals, curving slightly to fit above the images. To complete, add tiny red cardstock stars to embellish.
Here are some close-ups to see the placement:
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed this project! If you haven’t made an Accordion Card yet, give it a try. It’s fun and easy!
Welcome back … I’m Candy Spiegel and I want to share my latest project for Elizabeth Craft Designs.
This feminine card began with the Accordion Oval Card die set.
1. Die cut three patterned paper frames and attach them in a row. Cut off the hinge tab from the right side of the last panel.
2. The oval shapes in this card are not linked together (the way the die is most often used). Cut off the little tab that connects them. (Notice the one has already been cut off on the right oval, but is still attached on the center oval.)
3. Cut two ovals with the largest oval in the die set. Stamp with tea sayings and ink the edges with Distress Ink. Adhere to the first and third ovals.
4. For the center oval, die cut a patterned paper oval, ink the edges and attach to center panel.
5. Glitter, color, and cut out the Coffee & Tea Peel-Off Stickers. Use a sheet of coordinating patterned paper as inspiration for the color palette). Use a blending pen for shading. Copic colors used:
6. Adhere teapot and cups with dimensional foam adhesive.
7. Fussy cut bird, flower, and butterfly images; ink the edges and adhere to card with dimensional foam adhesive. Images fold when they cross from one panel to the next. This allows the card to freely open and close.
8. Embellish with ribbon and paper flowers. Use Glitter Dots Peel-offs for the centers of the flowers.
Here’s a close-up of the middle panel.
A detail to notice: On the third panel, I included a metal spoon.
Hi, it’s Kelly Booth here to show you a simple and fun way to use Elizabeth Craft Designs Peel-offs and Shimmer Sheetz along with one of the new embossing folders for a Simple A2 card. I love the outline Peel-offs. They are so much fun to watercolor! I was inspired to make this card after coloring the beautiful Lotus Flower.
Instructions
Place one lotus flower and one bud on watercolor paper.
Color with water-based markers. Use a water brush for blending the colors. (Option: Use watercolor pencils if you prefer)
Fussy cut around the flowers.
Cut white cardstock to 11” x 4.25” and fold in half to make an A2 top-fold card base. For the background cut a piece of Amethyst Gemstone Shimmer Sheetz 3.75” x 5”.
Emboss Shimmer Sheetz with pattern shown (Trendy Tiles 2) or any allover repeat pattern. With a sanding block, lightly sand to reveal the silver core and create a 2-tone effect. Wipe with damp paper towel to remove the “dust”.
Using the largest oval die and stitched line insert from the Accordion Oval Card set, die cut and emboss an oval from White Iridescent Shimmer Sheetz.
Assemble card: Using double-sided adhesive sheet, adhere embossed Shimmer Sheetz to the card base. Using foam tape to add dimension, adhere the oval.
Using more foam tape, adhere the flower and bud as shown in photo (stem of bud tucked behind the leaf).
Die cut Thank You from cardstock covered with foil tape and adhere at bottom right. Add extra sparkle with Glitter Borders Peel-offs around the Shimmer Sheetz rectangle.
Have you tried the Elizabeth Craft Designs’ Peel-offs, Watercolor Paper and Shimmer Sheetz together? A perfect match – I’m so pleased with the results!

It’s Frances here from Australia. Easter is only a week away, so today I am sharing an Easter Pop-Up card I created.
As you can see by the photo above, my pop-up card has a basket of brightly colored Easter Eggs on the inside. As I wanted to have some of my eggs inside a basket, the first thing I needed to do was create a basket … here is how I made it.
1. First up I took some tan card and die cut this using the Bamboo Trellis die. I also cut another piece from scraps so that I only had one set of diamonds along the side of the trellis (refer to photo above)
2. From the full bamboo trellis piece I turned the trellis on its side so that the long side was at the top and bottom. I trimmed the “sides” of the trellis down at angle. The bottom of my basket is approx 1 3/4″ and the top is 3 1/4.
3. Apply some adhesive to the scrap piece of trellis shown in the second photo above and attach this to the bottom of the basket shape cut in step 2. Sponge all the edges with tan ink.
4. Using the trellis basket as a pattern, trace and cut out another basket shape from tan card. Adhere the trellis basket to the solid basket.
5. To create the handle for the basket I used the largest circle die from the Accordion Circle Card set and the Accordion Circle Card page die. Place the large circle die into the center of the page die and die cut your circle from tan card. Trim any tabs from the circle frame we created and attach the circle handle to the inside of the basket.
Next it is time to create the eggs.
6. Cut a piece of Double Sided Adhesive sheet approx 4 inches x 6 inches. Remove the release sheet from one side of the adhesive and set aside upside down on your desk (shiny side up). Adhere your Double Sided Adhesive sheet to a piece of white card the same size.
7. From the Small Eggs Peel-Off Sticker sheet remove 7 eggs and 3 butterflies (2 large & 1 small). Place these sticky side up onto the release sheet that we set aside earlier.
8. Take your white card and place it with the adhesive side facing down onto the release sheet with the Peel-Offs on it. The Peel-Offs will lift from the release sheet and stick to the adhesive on the card stock.
9. Turn your card so that the release sheet is now on top. Take off the release sheet and make sure not to touch the adhesive. You have now transferred your outline sticker.
10. Cover the adhesive with Cool Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter Silk Microfine Glitter and Polish with your finger. You can see a video Els created using this technique here. Color your images as desired. Cut out the eggs and butterflies.
11. Arrange three of the eggs on the inside of the basket. I used foam tape to give some dimension between the front two eggs and the center egg.
12. Using the grass die from the Garden Bench Pop-Up die set, cut two pieces of grass from green card. Adhere this to the bottom of the basket.
13. Using the Four Bows Die set, cut the solid bow from orange card and the dotted bow from Light Blue Velvet Adhesive sheets. Assemble bow and place at top of basket using foam tape.
Creating the Pop-Up Card
14. Cut your designer paper to 4 1/2 inches x 10 1/2 inches. Fold in half so that it measures 4 1/2 inches x 5 1/4 inches. Open up the designer paper again and place the Lots of Pops Pop-Up die so that the “nubs” of the die are in the centre and on the fold line. Use your die cutting machine to die cut the pop-up.
15. “Pop Up” the large center pop-up piece and the two side pop-ups … we don’t need the two smaller pop-ups at the top and bottom of the centre pop-up.
16. Attach the basket of eggs to the large center pop-up panel and an egg to each of the side pop-ups.
17. Cut a piece of orange card 4 1/2 inches x 11 1/2 inches. Fold in half so it measures 4 1/2 inches x 5 3/4inches.
18. Attach inner pop-up panel to the orange card, ensuring not to place any adhesive over the pop up areas (hint apply your adhesive to the pop-up piece not the base card)
19. Cut a piece of Blue Iridescent Shimmer Sheetz to approx 5 inches x 6 inches. Emboss the Shimmer Sheetz using the Swirly Curves Embossing Folder. Sand the debossed side of the Shimmer Sheetz with a sanding block to reveal some of the white core.
20. Cut two pieces from the embossed/sanded Shimmer Sheetz 3/4 inches wide, adhere a piece of orange card underneath the Shimmer Sheetz at one edge to create a border and then adhere these two pieces of Shimmer Sheetz to the top and bottom of the pop-up card level with the edge of the outer card. Trim of any excess from sides of card.
21. Use the two large label dies from the Katie Label Pivot Card die set to die cut one white and one orange label. Stamp your Happy Easter Sentiment to the label and attach to the centre of the lower section of the pop up card. Decorate the label using the two remaining butterflies we created earlier.
Decorating the Front of the card
22. Cut a piece of designer paper (used on the inside of the card) 4 1/2 inches x 5 inches. Attach to front of card as per photo above.
23. From the remaining Shimmer Sheetz we embossed in step 17. Cut a piece that is 2 1/2 inches x 4 1/2 inches. Layer this to orange card which is 2 3/4 inches x 4 1/2 inches and attach to card as per photo.
24. Add remaining Peel-Off sticker Easter eggs to the right hand side of the card.
