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.
Hey Crafters! Katelyn here, sharing with you my For You Gift Envelope.
To create my For You Gift Envelope, I’ve used a variety of dies from the Planner Essentials and the Sidekick Essentials Collection as well as dies from the Paper Flowers Collection. You’ll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my gift envelope at home.
Step One. Choose a piece of patterned paper out of the Reminiscence the Book 2. From the Sidekick Essentials 16 – Seed Packet Set, you’ll need the seed packet. Die cut the seed packet out of the patterned paper. Ink the edges of the packet using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Step Two. From the Planner Essentials 37 – Letters & Numbers die, you’ll need the letters to spell out For You. Die cut the letters to spell each word out of a piece of kraft cardstock. Ink the edges of the letters using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.
Step Three. From the Maple Leaves die, die cut both maple leaves out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink on each leaf. Using a blending tool with foam, use Ground Espresso Distress Ink to highlight areas on the leaves as desired.
Step Four. Die cut the Lacy Leaves 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 the leaves.
Step Five. Assemble and adhere the seed packet.
Step Six. Adhere the lacy leaves and maple leaves to the left hand side of the seed packet as desired.
Step Seven. Adhere the For You words on the seed packet as desired.

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.
