Hello! Summer Hills-Painter here today with an Oval Window Pull Card project. The card I am sharing today is for Mother’s Day, but this design could be for many other occasions as well.
Here is how to make the card:
Hello there, Sanna here again with another project for March! I love to use bits and pieces that I have left over from previous projects in my next artwork. That is exactly what I did when creating the Travel Layout. I used all the leftover pieces from the altered savings bank to create an A4 size layout.

Altered Savings Bank
March 10, 2016Hello there, Sanna here again with my first March project. I have recently discovered how much fun it can be creating your own home décor objects. I like to make practical things with a purpose besides looking good, hence, a savings bank made from a box as an altered object. I can use it to hold money I’m saving and it is a pretty accent for a mantel, shelf or table.

Hi, it’s Sandy Diller here to share a fun project with you. With spring fast approaching I decided to use some of those lovely pastel colors of the season. I love these colors although I don’t seem to use them often. This night light features soft spring colors as well as the warm glow from a trio of battery-operated tea lights.
Here’s how I did it!

Happy Saturday!!!
It’s Wanda Hentges here today and I’m very excited to share this card using one of the brand new A Way With Word dies, Faith, along with other Elizabeth Craft Designs dies I love!!!
To create this card —
1. Cut green cardstock to 9″ x 8 1/2″ and fold to make a top-fold card base 4 1/2″ x 8 1/2″.
2. Cut White Soft Finish Cardstock to 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″. Die cut both ends using Tags & More 9 – Sparkle, cutting the curved edge first and then the decorative overlay. Ink edges with Antique Linen using a Blending Tool. Put Antique Linen ink on the Craft Sheet, pick up color with a water brush or wet paintbrush, flick over die cut piece to create speckles, and dry with heat tool. Attach panel to folded card.
3. Put Clear Double Sided Adhesive onto front of Soft Finish Cardstock and die cut Faith. Remove liner from adhesive and coat with Chocolate (brown) Silk Microfine Glitter, polish well and put excess glitter back in container. Glue Faith to card.
4. Die cut 2 Leafy Branches from Soft Finish Cardstock, spray with Shabby Shutters, dry, add shape to some of the leaves with stylus and molding mat and partially glue to card leaving some leaves to pop up from the card.
5. Stack 3 pieces of old music paper. Die cut both flowers from Victorian Flower Set 1 twice for a total of 6 flowers of each size. Stack all 12 flowers, larger flowers first and then smaller flowers on top, offsetting the petals as you stack. Poke a hole in the center of the flowers and add a small brad. Beginning with the top flower crumple all the petals to the center. Continue through each of the flowers until all petals are pulled up and crumpled together. Pull the petals back out so you have a full flower. Brush Vintage Photo ink over the flower using a Blending Tool. Spray flower just a little with Sunflower Sparkle to give a light gold shimmer (or spray heavily if you’d like more glitz). Glue flower to card and button into center of flower. (Tip: Remove shank from button so the back will be flat.)

Goodbye Summer, Welcome Autumn
August 14, 2015Hello friends, it’s Petroschi Bianca here.
I already hear cackling crows in the mornings, which tells me that fall is around the corner, a spectacular season that I love so much thanks to Susan Tierney Cockburn and all the designers at Elizabeth Craft Designs. They have made so many beautiful new dies to put our fantasies in practice. With my project today, I would like to welcome you to Autumn. I hope you enjoy!
Here is how I created this mini decorative panel:
1. Panel base is made of cardboard measuring 25 cm/20 cm.
2. I painted the background with a black Chalkboard Paint and after drying, I hand drew ”Welcome Autumn” with a pencil.
3. I then traced the “Welcome Autumn” with white acrylic.
4. I cut the cute scarecrow from different colors of 300 gr/sqm cardstock using Susan’s Garden- CountryScapes Build a Scarecrow die set and assembled it.
5. I cut, colored, shaped and assembled a multitude of chrysanthemums using cardstock in autumn colors with the new die set Garden Notes Chrysanthemum. It was so much fun!
6. I filled the empty spaces with die cuts from the Leafy Branch die.
7. I used ribbon to make a hanger and added two pumpkins from the same CountryScapes Build a Scarecrow die set. I also added 2 little ladybugs from the Garden Notes – Bugs & Butterflies.
Hang the finished panel on the wall or display it on an easel inside the front door so it welcomes guests.
