Clean and simple, masculine, Lighthouse card

August 6, 2020

Hello and happy Thursday! It´s Sanna Lippert here again with my August guest design team project share. This time I´m sharing a very clean and simple and easy to do card that works great for a male recipient.

This is how I created the card:
Step 1: Pick two sheets of patterned paper of your choice that work well together. Cut the darker patterned paper into a slightly smaller rectangle than your card base, then die cut with a smaller Fitted Oval die a hole in the middle.
Step 2: Now take the lighter patterned paper and die cut another piece with the next size (slightly bigger) of the Fitted Oval die.
Step 3: Then die cut the Lighthouse and the birds from black Soft Finish Cardstock. After that die cut the additional Lighthouse pieces from white Soft Finish Cardstock. Before die cutting, attach Clear Double Sided Adhesive onto the cardstock. This way it will be easier to adhere the small pieces on place.

Step 4: Adhere the bigger oval piece onto the card base and assembly the Lightouse from the white and black pieces.
Step 5: Adhere the finished Lighthouse on top of the oval piece. Now adhere the birds on place.
Step 6: Take a residue piece of the lighter patterned paper and stamp the sentiment with black stamp ink onto it. I used Build Your Own Sentiment 1 stamp set for this purpose.
Step 7: Cut the sentiment into a banner either using scissors or the Banners die cut die. Adhere on place.

I´ve again recorded a start-to-finish video for you to watch. I hope it gives you an even better idea of each and every step.

I hope you get inspired to play and create a fun, masculine card yourself! See you next month with yet another project.

Take care!
Sanna

Good Morning. This is Selma Stevenson. Today I am excited to be posting as a new designer for the Elizabeth Craft Designs Design Team. I will be using products from Els van de Burgt Studio and Joset Designs that are in the new Elizabeth Craft Designs product release this month.

Some of the new products include a variety of Fitted Frames that all work together. You are going to love being creative with these new dies. They come in Fitted Ovals, Fitted Squares, Fitted Circles and Fitted Rectangles. There are Stitched sets in all four categories, and last but not least there are also Fitted Frames that come in the same four shapes. Below are the pictures of the three Square Frame sets, that work together.

Fitted Squares

I will show you how I created frames for my card.

1. Use the two largest dies in the Stitched Squares set. Tape them down on the card stock, with even spacing between the dies, all the way around. When die cut, you will have a frame plus a die cut square out of the center you can use for another project.

2. Use the third smallest die (shown on top) for the center frame backing. From the center of the die set, use the second (with dots) and third (with stitches) dies to create a frame. I have the dies facing up, but be sure you turn them over and tape them down to die cut.

3. Use the same Stitched Square die you use for the small frame to cut a backing for the small frame.

4. Die cut the Fitted Frames 2 Lace Squares, and use the second largest frame.

5. Above are the pieces you need to create the frames.

6. The largest Stitched Square frame measures 5 1/4″ square. Cut a piece of blue card stock 5 1/2″ for a base for the frames. Glue the two largest frames to the blue square, as shown on the card.

7. Die cut the Starfish from the Small Shells Die set. Use gold card stock for the overlay and white card stock for the base. Color the solid piece using markers. Attach the two pieces together.

8. On the small square die cut, create dots in the center that will show behind the Starfish die cut and attach the Starfish with a dimensional glue dot.

9. Glue the small Stitched Frame inside the larger frame.

10. Using the Joset Designs Lighthouse die set, die cut the two pieces for the Lighthouse. Use gold card stock for the overlay and white card stock for the base. Color the base with markers and attach the gold overlay on top. Die cut the flag and attach at the top of the Lighthouse.

11. Attach the Lighthouse on the left side of the card.

12. Die cut the Anchor, from the Lighthouse set, using gold card stock and attach to the right side.

13. Using one of the rope dies from the Els van de Burgt Studio Ropes 1 die set, die cut a rope strip from Kraft brown card stock and shade with brown ink. Attach it along the bottom edge.

All these dies help create a wonderful card that would be great for anyone!

Lighthouse

April 10, 2015

Hello my crafty friends! It’s Raquel Mason here today. I’d like to show you how you can quickly put a masculine card together using Shimmer Sheetz and Peel-Off Stickers. By using peel-offs, the beauty of the Shimmer Sheetz shows through without the need to color. Let me show you how I made this card.

1. Cut tan cardstock at 5.5″ x 8.5″ and score at 4.25″ for a standard A2 size base card.

2. Cut white cardstock at 4″ x 5.25″. Adhere to card base.

3. Cut Light Blue Metallic Shimmer Sheetz at 3.75″ x 5″. Emboss with Clouds Embossing Folder. Sand to reveal the clear core around the embossed clouds. Adhere to white cardstock.

4. Cut Red Metallic Shimmer Sheetz large enough to fit lighthouse peel-off. Alter using alcohol inks and a felt applicator. Apply peel-off sticker and cut out image using Fine Pointed Scissors.

5. Cut White Iris Shimmer Sheetz large enough to fit seagull. Apply peel-off sticker and cut out image.

6. Die cut the pieces shown below:

(2) Hardware 1 – Hinges from Gold Metallic Shimmer Sheetz inked with black StazOn.
(8) Jewelry 1 – Sea Glass shapes from cork and ink if desired.

7. Adhere pieces to card using photo for placement. Apply Glitter Dots in the holes of the Hardware Hinges. Tip: stagger the cork Sea Glass shapes to resemble rocks. Use foam tape for dimension behind the lighthouse and seagull.
