Baked with love

January 9, 2023

Hello everyone, Jackie here today. With valentines day just around the corner we need to think about making a few love related designs. Here I have used the very adorable aga/cooker form Joset to create this cute valentines card with hidden message, I think this card would also work well as a planner page.

Step One:

Cover the entire front of an A2 card blank with dark pink card, trim a panel to fit the front at approximately 5.25 x 4″ and gently ink around the edge with light pink ink then glue the panel in place.

Step Two:

Die cut the cooker front. Trim off all the doors at the hinges then glue a piece of light pink card behind, stamp the words in to each door opening then die cut and glue the other cooker front on top ensuring not to glue at the door openings.

Step Three:

Die cut the splash back and ink around the edge with light pink ink then attach a tiny heart to alternate tiles, you will not need to fix any hearts to the middle section as this will be covered. Add all the other finishing touches to the cooker.

Step Four:

Attach some thin strips of 3d foam tape on the reverse side of the cooker base as shown in the photo. Cut a piece of white card to fit in side the back, ink around the edge again with the light pink ink then stamp out the sentiment and attach a die cut cake to the very top. (layer the cake up with a few die cuts to add stability) you can hand write the word pull onto the cake.

This cooker design could easily be used for any occasion with any number of different sentiments added.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope I have inspired you to make a few love designs either cards or planner pages. Happy crafting Jackie x

Happy New Year

January 1, 2023

Hello everyone and Happy New Year to you all.. Jackie here with my first blog post for 2023. Although this is a New Year celebration card this could easily be switched up for many other celebrations.

Step One:

Start by stamping out the background directly onto the card blank. Here I have used a white card blank measuring approximately 5.8″ x 5.8″ square. Use a selection of small stamps to create the fun background.

Step Two:

Die cut a scalloped edged frame using dies from the Pizza Box 1781 die set, lay the two dies together and secure in place with washi tape as shown in the photo. Die cut three times into black card, black fun foam and silver glitter card then glue all three together sandwiching the fun foam in the middle.

Step Three:

Cut a piece of vellum to fit the frame then fix to the reverse side with glue.

Step Four:

Fix the prepared vellum frame to the card front with more glue.

Step Five:

Die cut and build three gnomes using the Gnome 1922 die set, I have used plain and glitter card stocks here but use whatever you fancy. Use the present shaped die from the set to create the chalk board signs then hand write the sentiment with a white gel pen.

Step Six:

Fix all the gnomes to the card front using 3d foam pads.

Thank you for popping by today and I wish you all a very Happy crafty 2023!

Planner Essentials Sidekick Essentials

Sidekick planner page

December 27, 2022

The first page in my sidekick planner for the new year. Next year I want to make my weekly overviews in the sidekick planner and the special occasions in the Planner Essentials. No reason, just like that. I have no idea how I’m going to handle it further, my head is still full of Christmas, hihi. But the new year is coming, just a few more days and then it’s. No photos or journaling on this page because it has yet to come!

However, I have come up with the idea that I will make a page in this style for each month, with a note sheet on which I can write down the most important days, such as birthdays, for example. So no calendar sheet.

With the dies from the sidekick pocket page fillers I made 2 pockets by leaving them open at the top and sticking them on top of each other, so there is more room for a tag or something fun.

And I saw such a nice Technique, apparently Tim Holtz showed it, but I saw it from Lisanne, she made a YouTube video with it, at the very end of her Live broadcast.

Festive Winter Snow-globe | LIVE with Lisanne – YouTube

It’s really so much fun, I edited the Big Numbers with it. Distress ink, versamark, sticky powder and glitter. It just looks cold, brrrr. But how beautiful, those frozen numbers.

Here you see the monthly overview I talked about earlier, you slide it behind the big pocket. The tag is made with the inside of the large pocket page fillers from the sidekick. I stamped on it with a stamp from the Note Pieces set. I also stamped on the back and I’m going to use that side for my New Year’s resolutions, haha. Not that I have that much, but when it comes to working in my planner I do have some plans. I’m going to write it down on the back and then I can see next month whether I succeeded or whether I need to adjust my plans. I especially want everything from E.C.D. mixed up because I really have too many nice things that have rarely or even never been used.

Until now I really only wanted to show Planner stuff, but actually I personally prefer to use everything in it.

For this page, therefore, mix Sidekick and Planner Essentials together and also paper from the Art journal collection.

And further……

I just keep on doing what I was doing.

Happy New Year to all of you and see you next year.

With love,

Marjolijn.

Heart Warmer

December 19, 2022

Hello everyone. Jackie here today with my last blog post for 2022, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy crafty 2023!

Today I have kept things quite simple with a pretty inky background created using distress oxide inks and water and I have made my own stamp using the snowflake die!!

Step One:

Ink blend the whole front of a piece of A2 white card, here I have used three shades of blue ink but feel free to use which colours you prefer. Don’t worry to much about a perfect blend as we will be adding water later.

Step Two:

Die cut the snowflake into some fun foam, use at least 2mm fun foam to give a good impression. Attach the foam snowflake to an acrylic block using some double sided tape.

Step Three:

Spritz the prepared foam stamp with water then press into the inked background, push down for a few seconds then lift off the stamp. repeat all over the inked panel creating a snowflake pattern. Don’t worry if you get a few splash marks this will add to the effect.

Step Four:

Use a stitched rectangle die to cut down the background then fix the panel to the front of a top folding card blank using 3d foam pads.

Step Five:

Die cut the deer three times from white card then glue them altogether creating a sturdy topper, glue this to the card front then add a tiny red die cut heart.

Step Six:

White heat emboss the sentiment to black card before trimming down to a thin banner. Fix the sentiment in place using more 3d foam pads then add a few sequins and a splash of white craft drops to finish.

Quite a simple design today, I love the pop of red against the blue and white on this one. I hope you have been inspired to give this water/ink technic a go and I hopefully see some designs over on the family group. Happy crafting – Jackie x

Merry Christmas

December 8, 2022

Hello everyone, Alice here! Today it’s my turn on the blog. This time I made a Christmas card using the Penguin die from Joset. Love this cute little friend and it fits perfect for a winter/ Christmas themed card.

For background I used the Dotted background die that I cut out of a piece of patterned paper from thw Worn Wood paper pack. I really like the pattern of this paper.

I backed the dotted background with a piece of white cardstock so it looks like snow. How cute is that!

Then I made four penguins which each a different hat from the winter accessories set. Love this cute little friend in his winter outfit.

I then die cut the sentiment Merry Christmas to add to the middle of the card. This is an older die but I love the handwriting of it.

I added one penguin on each side of the sentiment. I wanted to use all four but the cards was too small so I added 2 little friends on the inside of the card.

I hope you like the cute pinguins as much as I do. They are so lovely!

See you next time!!

Alice

Hi Creative friends and welcome back to the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog. 





I am making a few changes in my Design Team commitments heading into 2023, one of those changes I am making is with Elizabeth Craft Designs. I have decided its time for me to say farewell, so i am sharing my last project with you for Elizabeth Craft Designs. 















I decided to keep it simple and I designed a Christmas card using Florals 12, which has been a favorite of mine to create with. I cut 8 large florals 12 and two of the small flowers, and 8 leaves, 















The Merry Christmas title is from an older EC Die (1576 Words 5-Winter Wishes) 





I coloured them with aged mahogany, and the leaves with peeled paint, pretty much my stand by colours for florals 12 when creating poinsettias. 










I hope you enjoy my last project with Elizabeth Craft Designs and want to wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas, and a safe, happy and prosperous New Year!







Thank you for dropping by today and  for following me along the past two years as i shared my projects with you.

Hello everyone. Jackie here with today’s blog post. I have made a snowy mountain scene with the cream top part of the Warm Winter Mug set 1996 complete with marshmallow boulders, I do love to play around with the dies. Before we start, whilst making this card I changed the way I added the sentiment so a couple of the photos will not show the sentiment on.





Step One:





Ink Blend the front of an A6 Europe or A2 U.S top folding card blank. Here I used Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry. 










Step Two:





Create two snowbanks from white card, trim a panel to fit the card front then fussy cut a curvy edge to both pieces. Heat emboss the sentiment onto the front snowbank then attach both panels using foam pads.



















Step Three:





Die cut three mountains and three mountain peaks. Ink the top of the mountain peak with a little of the Picked Raspberry ink then adhere them in place between the snowbanks.










Step Four:





Add three die cut snowflakes. I have chosen to hang them over the edges, but you could add them wherever you wish.










Step Five:





Finish off by adding the marshmallow boulders and sequins and gems.










I hope you enjoyed todays blog and have been inspired to look at your dies in a different way. 





until next time, happy crafting – Jackie xx

This time Advent falls exactly four weeks before Christmas. I had therefore decided that my advent calendar this year would not have 24 but 28 days. Normally I start with December 1, although that is of course not true when it comes to Advent. That also has to be processed in my planner, so I made a ticket for 28 days there. The page was created with the file folder page with pockets. On the page I pasted the curved library pocket.










In the top pocket I made the ticket with the 28 days (4 weeks) of Advent. It still has to be filled in but the 1st day, November 27, is already in it. I think I’ll put the tree up then. In the Library pocket I made an L.P. filler card that I stamped on, I made a tab on it, just because it’s possible, hihi.










The ticket I made with the Monthly overview stamp set also got some Christmas bulbs, 4, 1 for every week instead of candles. I did that with a homemade mold of sturdy paper and a Christmas bulb from the bookmark set. In the background a photo of the advent calendar I made. 





I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Nice to see you again





Kind regards,





Marjolijn.

Hello everyone, Alice here with another creation today. This time I made a double card with the label die. And of course a shaker part on it. Shaker cards are my favorite!










First you take your cardstock and fold it in half. Then you take your die, place it a little bit over de edge of the fold and die cut. This way that side wil not be die cut. 










This way you can made a double card with the label die. I love to use the die this way. 










In front of this card I made a shaker part with the snowglobe die. First I cut out the die from craft cardstock. Behind this part I made a transparent sheet. With foam tape you make the shaker part. 










For the background of the shaker part I made a scenery with the moose and a cute little gnome. The gnome has a Christmas ball in his hands to add to the trees in the background. The trees are from the Mason Jar set. I love these trees and use theme a lot. Specially for winter scenes. 










After that I put some shaker material in the shaker part. This time I choose some shaker material from Picket Fence in the colors white and blue. These colors are matching perfect with the background paper that I used. The background paper is one of a paper pad from Moda Scrap. 










Now you can make the shaker part on your double tag card. How lovely is this! You can add some ribbon on top of the card through the tag whole or just leave it as I did. 





I hope you like this double tag shaker card as much as I do. 





See you next time!





Alice

Hello. Jackie here with today inspiration. I was playing with the new Warm Winter Mug die set and thought hmmmm I wonder if I could make a cupcake! and what do you know it works perfectly. 





Step One





Die cut the solid mug part first, you do not need to cut the whole mug as we will only need the bottom half. Trim the handle off.










Step Two.





Lay the two fancy dies on to the solid cut piece, lift off the bottom die then run this though a die cutting machine creating the base for the cupcake. Die cut the fancy piece again into coloured card then glue on top.



















Step Three.





Draw and fussy cut out a cake shape as shown in the photo, this will not need to be perfect as you will only see a small amount. Glue the cake in place behind the cup case then the cream on top.



















Step Four.





Next, create the striped pattern directly on to an A2 top folding card blank. Trim a hand fall of pink striped patterned paper then starting at one diagonal end glue the first piece in place. cut a 1cm strip of card to act as a template to achieve the correct spacing, continue to glue the thin strips in place until the front is covered then cut off all the overhanging pieces. Repeat this step again only using thinner silver glittered card strips.



















Step Five.





Use a stitched rectangle die to cut a small layer. cut this into both coloured card and vellum then attach the two together with a small piece of double-sided tape in the centre. Fix in place on the card front using 1mm foam pads.



















Step Six.





Decorate the top of the cup cake with various goodies then attach to the card front using more 3d foam pads. finish off by adding a little bit of sparkle here and there along with the sentiment.










I really love the way you can create different things form Joset’s dies. I hope I have inspired you to have a go at making this cupcake card. 





Happy crafting Jackie x
