Hi everyone,
It’s my turn to post a Pop it Ups Wednesday tutorial here today. This time round I am playing with a few of Karen Burniston’s new dies being released this month to create a Christmas Card. With only 137 days till Christmas I figured it was time I started making some cards to add to my Christmas stash.
Hello everyone, Sanna here again. Who does not know the situation, when you suddenly need a nice birthday card, but have nothing ready? And you really don’t want to buy one from the store, as you can create ones yourself. How about bold cardstock strips on a white background? This is what I came up with when I needed to create two birthday cards really quickly:
It is a good time to start thinking about creating our Christmas cards. Good Morning, this is Selma today and I have used two of Susan Tierney-Cockburn’s new CountryScapes dies for my card. The new die sets used are CountryScapes Build A Father Christmas and CountryScapes Country Sleigh. Also from Susan’s new release I have used the Snowstorm & Mounds Stencil. Here is how I created this card:
Hello Artlets! It’s Suzanne here today with a sweet and delicate project that really should be framed! I’m combining Susan Tierney-Cockburn’s brand new Lavender die set with A Way With Words Love. Can’t you almost smell the beautiful scent from this card? I think it deserves a little lavender sachet tucked inside to really complete the effect!
Here is how this card is made.
Hello! Mary here today to show you a super glittery card. Silk Microfine Glitter by Elizabeth Craft Designs comes in many delicious new colors. When added to the Lollypop dies by Joset Designs they make things even sweeter. I love how beautifully sparkly this card came out (it looks even better in person!).
Hi all! It’s Shelly Hickox with you today to share a spooky interactive Halloween card using dies from Karen Burniston’s newest release. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I couldn’t wait to combine the dies from this fantastic new collection into a fun card that features lots of motion.
Hello, everyone! It’s Els here and I’m having such a great week that I wanted to share it with you – so not a project and instructions today, but with news from here in Colorado…
Our daughter Joset and granddaughter Annika are visiting. It’s been so much fun watching the two together, and Joep and I are very hands-on – tons of cuddling and stories. Annika even eats black beans, inspiring me to branch out and try new foods so she doesn’t get ahead of me when it comes to adventurous eating habits!
Joset’s here for work, too. We’re taping YouTube videos. Susan Tierney-Cockburn arrived on Sunday to tape tutorials for her new release as well. We’ve got a full house, just the way we like it! Both Joset and Susan will also be guest hosting Technique Friday with Els. We may not sleep at all!
Meanwhile, we hope you’ve already taken a gander at the new releases from Susan and from Karen Burniston. We know you’ll find a zillion must-haves. We’re including some projects here to spark your muse. And be sure to head over to their Facebook pages and blogs so you don’t miss out on a single thing! Karen is posting a YouTube video tutorial every day for a week to showcase her collection.

And I’m excited to announce that the wonderful new collection of dies and stamps from Joset Designs is going to be revealed on August 11th (yes, this is a proud mother speaking) along with Suzanne Cannon’s latest ‘A Way With Words’ dies.
My own Els van de Burgt Studio release will follow on August 25th.
Our design team and guest designers are busily creating projects and writing instructions. Stay tuned! This is going to be a very active and fun-filled time on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog and the YouTube Channel as well!
Speaking of active and fun-filled, Annika is ready to go outside and play, and so am I!

Hello Everyone, it is Christine here from the Susan’s Garden Club Design Team. I am so excited to be introducing 2 of Susan’s new releases, coming soon. I decided to use the Garden Notes Aster and the Canning Jar & Lid. She has both new Garden Notes and CountryScapes dies coming out and trust me, it was a hard decision to choose which ones I wanted to make first, but since summer is so short-lived here in Maine I decided to continue with flowers.
As crafters, I am sure many of you can relate to the fact most of us look at everything wondering what other purpose it could be used for, and that is what I did with the plastic packaging that most cutting plates come in and it is just what I used to cut my jar from.
