Soft Finish Cardstock

Find Joy In The Ordinary

August 22, 2021

Welcome back, It’s Sandy Diller here today with a fun little gift box using the Pizza Box die set. This is the perfect solution for a small gift or a way to disguise a gift card.

White Soft Finish Cardstock was used for this entire project. You could also use colored cardstock to get a fabulous result.

The first thing to do is cut out the Pizza Box and crease on all the crease marks made by the die. Assemble box.

I used the Strawberry die set for this one.

After adding some creases and some ink the strawberries and leaves are ready to go. The berries were first colored with yellow and then red was added.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is pizza-box-5.jpg

I used the Elizabeth Craft Designs Flower Shaping Tool kit to add shape. To keep the shape after adding to the box a small piece of double back tape was added to the back.

The sentiment was stamped – then all elements were inked and added to the box front.

A little yellow ink was added to the edges of the box and then the front panel was added.

There it is, fun and festive.

Thanks so much for joining me today and have a creative week,

Sandy

Happy Holidays

August 1, 2018

Good Morning.  This is Selma Stevenson today with an early start on holiday cards.  Recently Susan Tierney-Cockburn had a video on her Susan’s Garden Club Facebook page showing how to assemble her Poinsettias using the Garden Notes Poinsettia die set.  You can view this video for instructions on how to create this beautiful flower here.

I’m sure there are special people on your list who would love to receive a keepsake card such as this one.  Because of the dimension, it can be protected when mailed in one of the Clear Acrylic Boxes available from Elizabeth Craft Designs. It can also be delivered in person, attached to the top of a box or the front of a gift bag, or placed inside the box or bag along with the gift.

Flower Cards: I Love Fussy Cutting

June 25, 2017


By Judi Kauffman

I admit it: I love ‘fussy cutting’! I know it’s not everybody’s favorite activity, but I really like sitting down with a pair of fine point scissors to cut around complicated shapes even when I have dies that would do the job and significantly reduce the time it takes to do a project. Dies leave a bit of a halo around the shapes, fussy cutting goes right up to the outlines. Yes, I do like to hand-hem what I sew, too. And I hand-baste rather than using pins when I sew a seam on the machine. I think it’s the slow pace that appeals to me, along with the hands-on aspect.

Today’s projects include stamping, coloring, and fussy cutting for the flowers, but I did include some die cutting for the Shimmer Sheetz branches, tag reinforcement and corners, the tag itself, and the Garden Fairies on the bonus card.
