Have a Wonderful Holiday Season

November 15, 2021

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.

In Sympathy

April 21, 2021

Hi There! Karen here today posting a sympathy card I’ve had to make for a boss of mine who lost her father. What a sad time for her, and I wanted to be able to send a card to let her know I care. Elizabeth Craft Designs has gorgeous products to help make all kinds of card, like the florals I used today.

To create this card, I started by cutting a sheet of light teal card stock to 4-1/4″x8-1/2″ and folded it in half to make the cardbase. I used a piece of 90 lb Soft Finish Cardstock for the card front. I smushed some Broken China and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink on my craft mat and swirled around the cardstock to create the background effect. I then cut it with the Stitched Rounded Rectangle Dies.

I added some ribbon and lace. I also cut a Dotted Stitched Circle die out of the light teal and stamped a sentiment from the General Sentiments set and cut it with a Fitted Circles die. I adhered the circles offset just because I think it adds some interest.

Next, I die cut flowers, branches and leaves using the Florals 5 dies and the Branches & Leaves dies. I colored them with Distress Inks in Broken China, Picked Raspberry, Bundled Sage and Mowed Lawn.

I turned them over, spritzed the back very lightly with water, and shaped them. This particular set is pretty easy to shape since you can just run the stylus down the petals.

The flowers are so pretty even if you aren’t an expert at coloring (like me!). I then adhered the flowers to the card and added some stamens that I’d found on Amazon. The card was finished with a few accent half-pearls.

Thank you SO much for stopping by today.

Craftily yours, Karen

Step Ten. Adhere the Love You words to the middle of the 1 3/4″ circle. Adhere the 1 3/4″ circle to the 2 1/4″ circle. Foam square the 2 1/4″ circle 3/4″ from the bottom and 1 1/4″ from the left of the tag.

Step Twelve. Use foam squares to adhere the flowers overtop of the leaves on the left hand side of the tag as desired.
