Bright Sunflower Wishes

October 19, 2023

Rajni Chawla Here!! Back again on Elizabeth Crafts Design blog to inspire you with beautiful bright and sunny Sunflowers from the latest Seasonal Classic Collection. This collection is outstanding and the florals and foliage have taken my heart away. I have been always a big fan of Sunflowers and these are completely exceptional. I have been playing with Floral 26 a lot these days. You can look for more inspiration on my Instagram page here.

For the backdrop, I have created a grungy textured background and prepared a white and gold window to display the handmade flowers. The window is created using the beautiful die from the Book Box die set and Stitched Indented Rectangle die set. The sentiment tag is prepared using the Everyday Elements die set and Layered Labels 1

I have mixed and matched the foliage from various die sets. Like Floral 25, Floral Greenery 1, and Pine Cones

To add more beauty to the bright sunflowers and to make them pop from the grungy background, I added a few daisies which I created using Floral 9

Planner Essentials

Weekend

October 4, 2023

Hi everyone,

Today I want to share you this project with the new special kit from Esther. I had a fun play time with this kit. You can make an easy card with the planner dies.

I started with the base planner dies (Planner Essentials 56) and of course the new paperpad Petal Pink. At the top I adhere the new frame dies. It is a great dies for small pictures or sentiments. But I only made the word ‘weekend’ which came in the set to.

I used the cute clips from the heart overlay dies set to hang on the letters.

In this set there are also small start to put on the stars at the page. You can make them in every colour you want. I choosed pink from the newest paperpad.

I adhere the letters with twine in a half heart shape. At least I added a small tag and some reinforcers. At the back I will adhere some pictures of the Dutch Planner retreat.

I hope you will have a lot of fun with this kit to. Thankyou for visiting and see you soon.

Kind regards,

Lisanne Geerdink

Joyful Moments Mini Layout

May 17, 2023

Good morning, Crafters! It is Gloria Stengel with you today! I have created an 8″ x 8″ scrapbook layout, which is going to be the first of a series I plan on doing, following the seasons. I am going to eventually add photos and then place the layouts into an actual mini album!

To create this layout, first cut one piece of dark brown cardstock to 8″ x 8″ inches. Trim a piece of decorative paper to 7 7/8″ x 7″. Trim a second pattern into two pieces, each measuring 7 7/8″ x 1″. Sponge the edges of the paper with Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide ink.

Attach the printed paper to the cardstock base page as shown. Using the double scallop die from the Lace Borders die (Everything’s Blooming Collection), cut three borders from dark brown cardstock. Attach one border to the top of the layout and one to the bottom, using the third border strip to lengthen each border to make it fit across the full layout.

Use the leaf stamp from the Happy stamp set and stamp it several images to the left side of the layout, opposite the pre-printed images. Use a pale tan ink or stamp off onto a piece of scrap paper before stamping to achieve a paler look.

Next cut one large doily from decorative paper with one of the dies from the Large Doilies set. Use Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide ink to add color to the doily shape. Attach the doily to the right side of the layout.

Using the Layered Honeybee die set, decorative paper, and dark brown cardstock, cut out the various bee shapes. Make sure to cut out the “daisy” flowers several times from two different printed papers. Assemble the bee and the flowers as shown. Attach the bee to the layout with foam tape. Glue the flowers onto the doily shape as shown.

Stamp the “Joyful Moments” sentiment onto a scrap of decorative paper with brown ink (Happy stamp set). Trim the sentiment into a strip and mat it with dark brown cardstock. Use foam tape to attach the sentiment to the left edge of the doily.

Use the Postage Stamps die set to trim three photo mats from dark brown and off-white cardstock. Attach the photo mats to the layout as shown.

The layout is now ready for photos and can be displayed on an easel or placed into an 8×8 scrapbook album!

‘smell the flowers’

June 22, 2022

Hello everyone, Jackie here with today’s post.

I just want to say what an amazing design team we have here at Elizabeth Crafts Designs, I am constantly blown away by the talent of my fellow teamies. My post today has been inspired by the beautiful work from Tina Guigui Dornbaum and you can find the inspirational design here: Sending Hugs & Kisses Mini Slimline Card – Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Step One:

Attach a small light blue piece of scrap card to the top half of a top folding A2 card blank. Die cut a stitched rectangle panel slightly smaller than die cut a small circle in the top centre using a small circular die.

Step Two:

Die cut the daffodil’s into a pale yellow and green cardstock then ink around the edges to add some definition.

Step Three:

Attach the stitched panel to the card front using 3d foam pads. Fix the daffodils on top starting with the stems.

Step Four:

Stamp out the sentiment on black card using embossing ink then sprinkle with white embossing powder and set with a heat tool. Fix across the stems using more 3d foam pads then add a few clear gems to finish.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope both Tina and myself have inspired you to give this these beautiful daffodils cards a go.

Happy crafting – Jackie x

Hello Sunshine –

June 15, 2022

Hello Friends and thank you for dropping in. Today I am sharing a card with you. This is designed using Florals 6, along with the Stitched Indented Rectangles and a couple new stencils on the background. 

I started by cutting out three of each of the floral sizes from florals 6 onto the soft finish cardstock. I also cut out five of the leaves. 

The Florals
I also cut out 3 of small florals from Florals 16. I colored the Florals 6 using Saltwater Taffy Distress Ink, and the Florals 16 using scattered straw. I then shaped the Florals 6 forming three peonies. The small florals 16 i just inserted a wired stamen. 


The Background
I wanted to use the new stencils and started  by stamping CS146 Background Stamp with Black Archival Ink, I also used CS253 Note Pieces ( the smaller graph stamp) Once I stamped the images, I used the S044 Planner Stencils 1 and I used Light Texture Paste. I then used the Number Stencil and used a blending tool using Saltwater Taffy on the background creating a tone on tone color. I then splatter some white acrylic ink and gold paint

I cut some stitched indented rectangles and only used strips of them to add some layers, what a great way to add layers, without all the bulk of a full layer. 

I used peach threaded pollens  in the center of the peonies and thought they blend so beautifully with the colors in the pattern paper. 

I hope you have enjoyed my project today. Until Next Time.

Happy Scrapping,

Karan

March 3, 2022

Hello friends and welcome! It is Karan Gerber here to share a gift box i created and i have adorned the cover with Handmade Roses using Florals 8.

Cutting out 8 sets of florals 8 and plenty of leaves, i set about coloring these with Tea Roe Archival Ink and Magenta Hue Archival Ink. 

the inside of the box, i created a card, using the cutout from the top of the box which is Sidekick Essentials 5. I matted the cut out in gold mirror paper long with the sentiment from the paper collection i used.

The top of the box, i covered with Acetate and used the Floral Burst Background to do a die cut in Gold Mirri and I love how this turned out, it looks so elegant.  

I hope you enjoyed my project today and until next time

Retirement cards

May 7, 2020

Hello everyone, it´s Sanna Lippert here again today with my May guest design team card tutorial. I needed two retiment cards for colleagues and wanted to use Elizabeth Craft Designs dies for creating them, because they have several that are just perfect for this occasion.

Here are the steps, on how to create this card:

Step 1: Take a white card base and die cut piece of additional carstock with Adventure Edges to create a DIY stencil. Then using the self-made stencil, apply yellow Distress Ink onto the background to create a cloud pattern.
Step 2: Die cut the waves and the palm tree scenery from white Soft Finish Cardstock using the Palm Trees and Ocean Edges die cut dies.
Step 3: Ink the various pieces with blue, yellow, green and brown Distress Ink tones.

Step 4: Adhere the inked pieces onto the card, starting with the waves. Use Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape for the bigger parts and Kids Choice Glue for the smaller pieces. Also, the tweezers are very helpful, when adhering (or inking) tiny pieces on place.
Step 5: Now add a stamped sentiment and sun onto the card. For this card I used the Beach Sentiments (the sun) and the Build Your Own Sentiments 1 clear stamp sets.
Step 6 (optional): Add some white splatterns onto the waves using white acrylic paint or like I did, pigment sticks and water.

I also created a second card using the exactly same steps, but instead of using the island, I used a sailboat die cut die. Sadly, this die cut die is discontinued, but I added links to altenative products into the supply list that would work on a retirement card as well.

I did the exact same steps, like on the first card, but instead of using the Build Your Own Sentiment 1 stamp set I replaced it with Ahoy Sentiments, because it better suited the boat theme. I hope you don´t mind me using a discontinued die cut die on this card? I tried to find you nice alternatives from the store and also did! You could use the Sailor´s Life stamp and die sets to create a fun sailboat image for this card or replace the boat with a hot air balloon – also listed in the supply list. Both these products would fit the theme of retirement and new adventures very well.

Like always, I´ve again recorded a star-to-finish video for you to watch. I hope you like it!

See you soon with another fun project share! Happy crafting!
xxx, Sanna

Make A Wish!

March 23, 2020

Hello!!! Samantha here, sharing a fun, bright, birthday card. Maybe it is just me?…but I love that this card makes me think of candy –– a perfect card to gift to someone on their special day!

Card Instructions:

Step 1: Apply clear double sided adhesive to the back of coloured cardstock and pattern paper.

Step 2: Select one of the reinforcement dies – die cut the die using the pattern paper and cardstock.

Step 3: Make a template of the die using scrap paper.

Step 4: Using re-positional tape adhere the template to a white card front measuring: 10.5cm x 14.5cm

Step 5: Remove the backing tape from the die cuts and adhere these in the negative space of the template.

Step 6: Continue to adhere each die cut, completing each row – alternate colours. Remove the template then re position below the finished row.

Step 7: Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the card front is full.

Step 8: Use the birthday sentiments stamp and coordinating die to stamp the sentiment on pink cardstock using black ink. Adhere the sentiment to the card front.

Step 9: Embellish card front with a twine bow and sequins.

Small dies are probably one of my favourite craft items to play with – the best thing about these reinforcement dies is how much time I saved die-cutting rows of circles instead of individual circles. So…I had time to make a few more examples!

Hope you enjoyed my card tutorial today.

Happy Crafting!

Samantha

Glitter Turtle

March 22, 2020

Hey Friends! It’s EK and today I am trying to create a simple ocean background for the new Sea Turtle die set. I really think this new turtle is super cute, and she needs the perfect ocean background to swim in…and what’s more perfect for an ocean background then a bunch of glitter!

Step One: Trim a piece of 90lb Soft Finish Cardstock to 4.25×5.5 inches. Cover the cardstock in a sheet of Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Step Two: Die cut the top of the cardstock using one of the waves from the new Ocean Edges die set.

Step Three: Peel back the protective film from the double sided adhesive. Add Silk Microfine glitter to the sticky side one color at a time. I used Silver, Royal Blue and Cool Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter.

Step Four: Die cut the Sea Turtle from some 90lb Soft Finish Cardstock.

Step Five: Using watercolor pencils, color the die cut pieces.

Step Six: Using a watercolor brush, activate the watercolor pencil. Using Kids Choice Glue, adhere the pieces of the turtle together.

Step Seven: Adhere the glitter cardstock to an A2 card frame using some 10mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Step Eight: Using both 10mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive and Kids Choice Glue, adhere the turtle to the card frame.

Step Nine: Stamp a sentiment on the ‘white space’ of the card from the Splish Splash Sentiments stamp set.

I love the combination of the ‘realistic’ turtle with the less than realistic ocean background.

I think all the glitter really makes the turtle stand out! Let us know in the comments below your favorite way to use Silk Microfine glitter. Until then, Happy Crafting!
