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 creative friends welcome back to the Elizabeth Crafts Blog, it is Karan Gerber here to share a holiday card with you. Although it seems a bit early to be sharing Holiday cards, my desk is full of Christmas Projects at the moment so i wanted to get a jump start on a few more.
Using Planner Essentials 47 to cut out the tree, i cut it out 6 times, just trimming off the tree and i layered them all in the circles. I then cut the deer on a coordinating paper from the collection i was using.
I used the stitched circles to create a winter scene, starting with the smaller circle on the inside layer, then the larger circle on the outside layer. Using foam adhesive to pop the layers to allow me to create this lovely winter scene
The florals 12, i used and cut out on Foamiran which is a light felt paper, i shaped and added stamens, paint , then a bit of snow paste and finally glitter to the centers. They turned out so beautiful, that i know i will be doing this technique again and again.
I love how this winter scene turned out, and what a great way to get a jumpstart on my Holiday Cards. I hope you dig into your planner essentials and see which ones will work for your holiday cards
Karen here today. I’m sharing a couple cards I made with the same sketch but different products from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Today I used the adorably cute Elephant and the Florals 12 to make two very different cards!
How cute is that Elephant! And so easy to put together. I used grayish brown and beige cardstock to cut the pieces and colored his eyes with a Copic C7. I also added a little blush for the cheeks with distress ink in Kitsch Flamingo. To create the card front, I just cut a piece of 90 lb White Soft Finish Cardstock at 4-1/4×5-1/2″ and taped a triangle of the patterned blue paper to it, and I then cut that with a stitched rectangle die. The sentiment is from the Furrever Friends set.
Love these beautiful flowers from the Florals 12 set. They were cut with the 90 lb Soft Finish Cardstock and then colored with DIstress Oxides in Salty Ocean and Scattered Straw. I colored, then dampened with water, and then shaped them.
Yes, it’s never too soon to start making Christmas Cards! I used the Cute Winter Sentiments on this one!
Hi Friends and welcome to my last blog post for the year for Elizabeth Craft Designs. It was a little over a year ago when I first began my journey with Elizabeth Crafts. Creating with their florals and A5 Planner dies this past year has been so much fun. I just couldn’t close out my year without sharing one final Christmas Card.
At this point, I am not sure what 2022 will bring with Elizabeth Craft Designs, but I hope you love my final project.
The florals were designed using Florals 12. I know I have shared a lot of projects with these florals but Christmas to me isn’t just a day, it isn’t just a month, it’s a season. And this Season my family and I have much to be thankful for! So with Christmas season upon us, I set out to create one last Christmas Card for 2021.
Here on St Joseph Island, we see deer all the time. They are almost sighted each day we head out for errands. I couldn’t resist creating a shaker card with Joset’s Snow Globe and those deer and trees from the Winter Scenery Set.
To begin with, I cut out the globe on pattern paper and on craft cardstock and than traced it out on acetate so I have a full size piece for the front of the globe. I fussy cut out foam tape and taped the back trim of the die to create a shaker card. I placed glitter on the inside of the shaker.
I cut four of the trees from the Winter Scenery Die Set and cut thin strips of foam tape to adhere to the back of the trees to add some dimension to the globe. I adhered the deer from the Snow Globe Sidekick Set to the front. I just love how this looks, it creates an awesome winter scene in that globe doesn’t it?
Die cutting out 6 large and 6 medium florals along with 6 leaves I colored and shaped them (if you are a member of the Elizabeth Crafts family Group on Facebook, I did a Live on Friday, Dec 17th and you can see just how I shaped and created those gorgeous florals here: Live Facebook with Karan. If you are not a member, be sure to become one so you can view the replay)
So getting back to my card, I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment from the Classic Christmas Sentiments set using White Embossing Powder and attached that to the bottom of the card.
My final step was to add snow paste and I thought some Art Stones would be a nice touch and look like snow balls around the florals.
Thank you for following me along this year with my craft shares for Elizabeth Craft Designs. Have yourself a Merry Christmas and I am praying that 2022 will see us all back to normal. Blessings for a bright, prosperous and Healthy 2022!
Yes it was snowing when I took this photo, so fitting for the style of my card Happy Scrapping and I hope to be sharing more with you in 2022!
Good morning! I have absolutely LOVED being on the ECD team for past year and half!

Step 7 – die cut a circle or fussy cut one from the patterned paper and another trim a piece of paper to fit the inside of your card Step 8 – die cut out of clear double sided adhesive your favorite holiday sentiment and some snowflakes then add glitter!
Again I would like to thank Joset and Els and everyone at ECD for a fabulous 18 months! I will miss you all! Laura
Hey Crafters! Katelyn here, sharing with you my Have a Wonderful Holiday Season Card.
To create my Have a Wonderful Holiday Season Card, I’ve used a variety of dies from the Paper Flowers Collection as well as dies and stamps from Joset Designs. You’ll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my card at home.
Step One. Die cut a 3 1/2″ Stitched Indented Rectangle out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Sprinkle Red and Olive Magenta Nuance on the rectangle as desired. Spritz the powder and allow to dry. Once it’s dry, distress the edges of the rectangle. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Step Two. Choose two pieces of coordinating Christmas paper. Die cut a 3 3/4″ Fitted Indented Rectangle out of one of the papers. Die cut a 4″ Stitched Indented Rectangle out of the other patterned paper. Distress the edges of both rectangles. Ink the edges of both rectangles using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Step Three. Die cut the Elegant Ornament out of a piece of copper foil paper. Cut the ornament down to 4 1/2″.
Step Four. From the Leaves & Branches die, you’ll need the berry branch. Die cut the berry branch three times out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock.
Step Five. From the Florals 12 die, you’ll need the two sizes of leaves. Die cut the small leaf three times out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut the large leaf four times out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Forest Moss Distress Ink over the entire surface of each leaf. Shape the leaves as desired.
Step Six. From the Florals 12 die, you’ll need the small, medium and large poinsettias. Die cut the small poinsettia three times out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut the medium poinsettia three times out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut the large poinsettia once out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut the centres three times out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Festive Berries Distress Ink over the entire surface of each poinsettia petals and centres.
Step Seven. Adhere the 3 1/2″ rectangle to the 3 3/4″ rectangle. Adhere the 3 3/4″ rectangle to the 4″ rectangle.
Step Eight. Adhere the elegant ornament 3/4″ from the left of the 3 1/2″ rectangle.
Step Nine. For two of the poinsettias, adhere a small and medium poinsettia petal together as well as centre. Adhere the remaining poinsettias and centre together. Shape the flowers as desired.
Step Ten. Foam square the large poinsettia to the middle left side of the ornament. Adhere the remaining two poinsettias one above and one below the large poinsettia as desired.
Step Eleven. Adhere the leaves and branches as desired in amongst the poinsettias.
Step Twelve. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the Have a Wonderful Holiday Season sentiment from the Joyful Wishes Stamp Set. Stamp the sentiment in the inside of the ornament as desired.
Step Thirteen. Cut a cardbase out of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 4″ x 10 1/2″, score at 5 1/4″. Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.
Thanks for joining me today! I hope that I’ve inspired you to create your own version of my Have a Wonderful Holiday Season Card at home.

Hello Friends and welcome to the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog. It is Karan Gerber here sharing a project with you. Today I have a mini album to share with you. I designed this using the Florals 12 on the cover along with the Indented Stitched Rectangles and Stitched Fishtails. The inside boosts a few more of my favorites and I hope you enjoy.
The papers are from Stamperia – Classic Christmas. I love the vintage feel to the images in this collection and they were perfect for photo flips throughout the album.
Inside cover and first page. I free hand drew the curves pockets on the inside front cover and used the Indented Rectangles as photo mats throughout the album.
Page 2 and 3 – Indented Rectangles used again for photo flips.
Above I used Planner Essentials 16 and created a pocket from that large tree. Photo mats will fit in there. Same with the Small Villages on page 5. Photo mats will slip in under the houses and trees on that page.
For pages 6 and 7 I used the Stitched Indented Rectangles for the front of a side pocket.
For he last page and inside back cover I used the Stitched Circles and Indented Rectangles. Lots of gold mirri paper was used throughout.
I am attaching some detail photos of the cover for you. I hope you have enjoyed my project share for you today.
Good Morning Friends and welcome. It is Karan here on the blog with and today I am sharing a Christmas Card with you, it’s never to early to get a jump start on our holiday cads for those we love. I love creating my own florals and Florals 12 are fabulous to create poinsettias with.
I was excited to receive some new papers that I ordered and got started on some Christmas Cards. I used the Stitched Circles to create some different sized layers and adhered those together.
I cut two sets of the Lacey Leaves (1878) as I love using them to tuck in my floral clusters to add detail. The Florals 12, I cut four large, two medium and two small along with 8 of the leaves from the same set.
I colored the florals with aged mahogany distress ink and the leaves with peeled paint distress ink. After molding and shaping I used pollen from Dress my craft to add to my centers.
I love to add even more detail to my florals so I dabbed snow paste from Deco Art and topped off with Glitter to add that snowy look.
Thank you for dropping by, I hope you enjoy creating your Christmas cards this season with gorgeous florals from Elizabeth Craft Designs.
