ECD Design Team Focus on New Releases for Becky Seddon

Hello my crafty friends welcome to my blog. Today I have created a card to showcase the new release of designer Becky Seddon at Elizabeth Craft Designs .  I have used Free As A Bird and Heartfelt Love and there are 10 more dies that are in the release so be sure to go to visit Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog to see all the great creations from ECD 2018 Design Team.  These dies are available now. [gallery ids="5445,5444,5446" type="rectangular"] Although I have not done a tutorial for this card I wanted to include pictures of how I used the large heart from Becky's Heartfelt Love die set to make my heart card.  The first photo look closely at top of paper it shows how you place die just slightly above card fold so that it doesn't completely cut off fold giving you a hinge. Other Supplies Brushed Silver Cardstock Red Glitter Cardstock Green Cardstock Gray Cardstock Yellow Marker White cardstock

Today I am posting a picture of a couple cards that I designed for our Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Club which meets once a month.  There are 6 of us and we go to our consultant's studio where we each have a month that we are hostess for a party and we get the rewards that month. The month that you are hostess you design a project using the Stamp of the Month, which is only available for that month, and a new paper pack and as I was hostess for January I created these 2 cards.  Same pieces of background and texture paper only paper flipped to show a different look and using different stamp from the stamp set.
