Welcome a Bears Christmas!

November 24, 2023

Hi everyone, Katie here with todays inspirational post! I wanted to share a cute card I made using Oli the Bear from Joset’s new Collection “The Great Outdoors”. I have so many ideas for this sweet little bear so I started with a Christmas Card. So grab a coffee and lets begin.

Step 1: Using your favorite cardstock cut out your bear bits (I used two shades of brown) then ink your edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Step 2: Stamp your word image, I used “Wishing you a Beary Merry Christmas” from the Bear, Moose, Beaver stamp set.

Step 3: Out of your favorite cardstock cut out your pinecone, evergreen boughs and red berries, ink and assemble.

I am so in love with this new die set, the detail as you can see above is amazing.

Step 4: Cut the base for your card, I used 110lb cardstock in kraft, Next, I cut a back ground paper from a blue plaid designer paper and ran it through a 3D embossing folder. (hard to see the image, but its pine boughs). Then I took another designer paper and cut out a oval mat for my card.

Step 5: Start assembling your card by adding your designer paper and oval to your card base. Next, add your pine boughs and pine cones, I used pop-dots for the Oli and the “Beary Merry Christmas” . I added red berries.

Step 6: I added glossy accents to Oli’s Nose and berries.

Step 7: I added Bear Paw Prints to the inside of the card. Final step I speckled the pinecones and pine boughs.

I hope you enjoyed todays inspiration, see my Facebook page @Katie Porcina to see other Christmas Card inspirations. Take Care and Happy Creating.

Best Wishes Cards

November 23, 2023

Hello, my dear friends!!

Rajni Chawla, here from Timeless Creations. Today, I bring you 2 beautiful, bright, and cheerful Best Wishes cards to inspire you using Elizabeth Craft Designs floral dies. My hope for you is not only to inspire you with ECD floral dies but also that it bring you a little something more: happy vibes when you transform pieces of paper into impressive works of art for yourself or loved ones. Handmade paper flowers make just about any heart smile…and that- is the best gift of all! Isn’t it?

For the past few days, I really wanted to try my hands on a wooden background for my flowers. I was so sure that the bright colors of flowers would surely pop on the wooden background. I grabbed the new embossing folder and textured and inked a few papers. The result was so satisfying that once again could not resist and resulted in two cards for the day.

For the first card, I am focusing on Florals 5. I made some cuts on the edges of the petals to give the flower a different look. The foliage is from Floral Greenery-1 and Floral Foliage-1 . As usual, all the floral and foliage inking is done using Archival inks.

Here is the look of the card if viewed from the top. The sentiment Best Wishes comes from the Everyday Words 2 Die set and the label is cut using Layered Labels 1. The tiny mini filler flowers are from Floral Greenery 1.

Here is the second card for the day!! It’s a slimline card that I created using a Stitched Indented Rectangle Die set. Florals are created using Floral 26 and Florals 4. Foliage is from Floral 6.

Here is the look of the card if viewed from the top. The sentiment Best Wishes comes from the Everyday Words 2 Die set and the label is cut using Layered Labels 1. The tiny mini filler flowers are from Floral Greenery 1.

Cardmaking Joset Designs Planner Essentials

December delivery

November 15, 2023

Hii everyone, how are you doing? It’s blog time for me today. I’m busy with the Christmas cards and projects. Today I share this card with you which I made with the postage stamp dies from the Planner Essentials.

I started with the base so I used the postage stamp dies (Planner Essentials). It is green paper from one of the Reminiscene books and sand looking paper from Reminiscene the book 6. I inked all the edges with Distress Ink Frayed Burlap.

As you can see I used some small dies from Joset’s collections to fill the rectangles. Some parts I coloured by myself with Distress Ink and for some parts I used designpaper like the Holly Jolly Christmas and the Christmas Lives Here.

I also did some stamping, some are light at the background. You can do that to do the first stamp at another sheet and then making the stamp at your papier. Some stamps are directly stamped at the paper.

I hope you got some ideas to make cute Christmas cards. And as you can see at the picture a little bit above you can also use some pieces of this whole card.

Thank you for visiting and see you next time!

Kind regards Lisanne Geerdink

Merry Christmas

November 3, 2023

Hello, lovely people!!

Have you all started prepping for the upcoming Christmas season? If not, I have this beautiful card to inspire you to get started. Elizabeth Craft Designs has beautiful Floral 24 for the easy and quick handmade Poinsettias.

To get started, I prepared a grungy looking embossed panel and layered an Stitched Indented Rectangle frame on the right edge of the card front. The basket made using Floral Foliage 1 was quick and easy to make.

The foliage from Floral 24 when cut in gold mirror cardstock added a real festive touch. The green foliage from the Pine Cones die set also enhanced the overall look of the floral bouquet.

The sentiment is stamped from the Seasonal Sentiment stamp set, using black archival ink on white cardstock and cut using a Layered Labels die set.

To add a little more seasonal touch I added lots of white tiny flowers from Floral Greenery 1. All the supplies used from Elizabeth Craft Designs are directly linked to the website for easy shopping.

Cardmaking Joset Designs Soft Finish Cardstock

Thankyou beary-much

November 1, 2023

Hii everyone, welcome to this blogpost.

This is an exciting week because the newest release from Joset is here. It is such a cute and great release. For this post I had a fun play time with it.

I started with the mason jar, one mason jar with the pretty pastels paper without window and one with corrugated cardboard with window. As you can see at the pictures I cut the pieces with the holes for the planner and inked the edges.

At the back of the corrugated cardboard I put some double sided adhesive and add some acetate. I made snow with the slimeline adventure dies and soft finish cardstock. I only adhere this at the sides and bottom. Now I can still put things between the layers if I want.

I put the signpost with a cute stamp from the new release in front of the snow. At the lid I adhere a piece of ice from the Igloo dies set. I cut a small piece from the lid away so it’s only ice on top.

Than the cute bear. I made a polar bear with soft finish cardstock and distress ink.

The bear is holding a fishing rod. That is a dies from the camping accessoires. I put a small black twine at the and so it will looks like he is fishing.

I put some shaker material and the twine between the 2 layers from the mason jar. I think the polar bear has a special fish, don’t you think?

I hope you like this post and got some new ideas.

Thankyou for visiting and see you next time!

Kind regards Lisanne Geerdink

So Much Love

October 30, 2023

Karen here. There’s so much love in the air in my world. One of my kids is getting married in a couple weeks, and my husband’s son is also getting married. I created a card for each of the weddings, and I had a bridal shower for my future daughter-in-law as well. I used a combination of fun products from here at Elizabeth Craft Designs!

I made two of these cards, one for each wedding. The background paper is from the Rustic Winter Collection – so pretty! I created a Layered Bird from the Everyday Elements collection from Annette. So cute. He is layered on diecuts from the Postage Stamps set and the word “love” is from Everyday Words. The shape of the card was created by adding a punched corner rounder.

So sweet, I love the Butterflies collection from Joset. The butterfly is so easy to assemble when the paper is cut with 101mm Double Sided Adhesive on the back! The sentiment on this card is stamped from the Bugs & Kisses set. The cardstock is from a paperpack I had in my stash.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Craftily yours, Karen

Bright Sunflower Wishes

October 19, 2023

Rajni Chawla Here!! Back again on Elizabeth Crafts Design blog to inspire you with beautiful bright and sunny Sunflowers from the latest Seasonal Classic Collection. This collection is outstanding and the florals and foliage have taken my heart away. I have been always a big fan of Sunflowers and these are completely exceptional. I have been playing with Floral 26 a lot these days. You can look for more inspiration on my Instagram page here.

For the backdrop, I have created a grungy textured background and prepared a white and gold window to display the handmade flowers. The window is created using the beautiful die from the Book Box die set and Stitched Indented Rectangle die set. The sentiment tag is prepared using the Everyday Elements die set and Layered Labels 1

I have mixed and matched the foliage from various die sets. Like Floral 25, Floral Greenery 1, and Pine Cones

To add more beauty to the bright sunflowers and to make them pop from the grungy background, I added a few daisies which I created using Floral 9

Joy tags for Christmas

September 28, 2023

Hi all, Sylvia again here for you on the blog. Time flies, don’t you think? Before you know it, it’s Christmas again and this year I decided to start my Christmas preparations early (also because I have a vacation coming up in November, so less time to prepare). For today I would like to show you how I created some Christmas gift tags, using items from both Joset’s and Annette’s collections, because they combine great! Let’s get started shall we?

step 1: find a piece of coloured cardstock slightly wider than the word Joy. Tape the word die (including the inner circle on the O ) on the bottom edge of your paper and run it through your machine, but NOT all the way!! Make sure the top of the letters are not totally cut and are still attached to the paper. I like to run it through about 75% so that you can just barely see the “v” shape in the centre of the letter Y.

step 2: pick the 3rd largest tag from the nested tags set, slide the bottom part under the letters (so they won’t be cut off) and run it through your machine again. You might wanna handcut a bit in between the letters. Now you have a tag with the word JOY at the bottom edge.

step 3: decorate the tag to your liking with stamps and/or dies. As an example, I made the green tag with Mr. and Mrs. Claus and the blue one with Jack Frost. Finish the tag off with a nice piece of ribbon or twine.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask, I’d be happy to help you out. Have fun preparing for Christmas!

Happy crafting!

Sylvia

a bunch of hocus pocus

September 25, 2023

Hello crafty friends, it’s Summer Hills-Painter here on the blog today. Today, I am using the cute caterpillar die set from the Bugs and Butterflies collection.

Preparation

Cut and assemble the caterpillar from the Caterpillar die set (for mine, is used some of the Pretty Pastels cardstock). Cut the witch hat, caldron, and spoon from the Halloween Accessories die set. Cut the second largest rectangle from the Indented Stitched Rectangles die from blue cardstock. Cut a slimline card base from black cardstock measuring 7″ x 8 1/2″ and score at 3 1/2″. Cut a card layer panel from green cardstock measuring 3 3/8″ x 8 3/8″. Cut a layer from white soft finish cardstock measuring 3 11/4″ x 8 1/4″. Cut a green grass piece from the Adventure Edges die set. Cut and assemble the “Hocus Pocus” sentiment from the Panner Essentials Halloween Set 3.

Instructions: 

Select varying shades of blue ink, a yellow ink, and a black ink of your choice. Starting with the yellow ink, blend the ink to the right side. Using your lightest shade of blue ink, blend that around the yellow ink, leaving the yellow untouched. Take your next darker shade of blue ink and ink the rest of the cardstock. Lastly, go around the edges with black ink.

Using light green Distress Oxide ink, blend over the yellow ink which allows for a nice green glow from our caldron. Using white ink/paint, lightly splatter the white paint onto the card to simulate stars in the night sky.

Adhere your grass piece to the inked card panel. Afterward, adhere the entire panel to your green card layer.

Ahere your caterpillar, caldron, and sentiment to the card panel

Adhere the card panel to your slimline card base and your card is completed.

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.

List of supplies used from Elizabeth Craft Designs:

(Note that the new Seasonal Classics release is currently only available at your local craft store and very soon on the Elizabeth Craft Designs website as well.)

  • 2088 – Floral Greenery 1 (NEW)
