Welcome My Crafty Friends!

Today is another Focus Day on Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog.  The Design Team has been busy creating cards that are showcasing A Way With Words brand new release of dies.  I have chosen Miss You and Long Stem Rose to showcase.  Be sure to visit Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog at this LINK to see what other design team members have created using the new dies.

Here is how card was created.

Step 1  Form 6" X 6" card base.

Step 2  Cut patterned paper 6" X 6" using largest oval from newly released Garden Notes Frame It - Stitched Ovals die cut oval in center.  Attach to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Step 3  From green cardstock cut set of Garden Notes Ladder Fern shade with ink shape by pinching up fronds around tweezers from Garden Notes Tool Kit.  Using Kids Choice Glue on just on lower portion of stem adhere to card front inside oval.

Step 4  From 2 shades of patterned paper using new release A Way With Words - Long Stem Rose die set cut rose then from green cardstock cut stem and shade with ink.  (I used the same paper that was used for the card front it happened to be 2 sided)  Assemble Rose & Stem using Kids Choice Glue.  When dry lay right side down on molding mat using medium ball tool from tool kit rub back of rose to give little dimension.  Adhere to card over ferns using Kids Choice Glue on stem and just very edge of rose.

Step 5  Cut twice A With Words -  Miss You once from cardstock with Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back once from dark cardstock once from coordinating cardstock attach coordinating Miss You over dark offsetting just a little to give shadow effect.  Attach to card front.

Step 6  Add pearls to corners.

Good Morning Everyone!  Sorry it has been so long since I have posted but I have been busy getting ready to go to Creative Keepsake Convention and then going to convention. I had a great time taking classes, shopping, eating and enjoying great friends. My post today is using one of Susan's Garden new dies and one of Karen Burniston's pop up dies.  It was hard to get a good clear picture because of the shine from the glitter. Card base is an A2 size card (4-1/4 X 5-1/2) 1.  Panel is made by using Karen Burniston's accordion rectangle die.  Attach a piece of sticker paper  4-1/2 X 5-3/4 to a pc of white cardstock the same size using clear double sided adhesive. Cut 1 frame from this.  Cut the rectangle and tabs from center of frame and the long tab on the left edge of the frame. Run this frame through Sizzix machine using Hearts Entwined embossing folder (or other embossing folder of your choice)  Peel the paper from the front of the frame ( protective p...

A Breath of Spring

Hello My Crafty Friends! Finally the daffodils are blooming and tulips are starting to put on buds - Spring has finally arrived here in Maine. Today my card is one that a friend has requested for her mother.  I have chosen several spring flowers from several Spellbinders Susan's Garden releases to create my card.  For my card I have used S4-1085 Lily of the Valley from Spring flora, S4-1175 Lilac from Garden Favorites, S2-340 Forget Me Not from Garden Gate and S5-470 Vase, Daffodil & Narcissus from Summer Flora.   The card base is one I have done before using other shapes for window Sam Calcott has a YouTube video for it (Acetate Hexagon Card) you can find it here .  I chose to do circle instead of hexagon and cut my cardstock 7" square and circles were 4-3/4" and 3-3/4".  I created a box for the card using  Donna Griffith's How to make your own custom sized boxes YouTube video found here  it is a great video.  I chose to add a framed win...

Family Hydrangeas

Hello My Crafty Friends, Today I have another card for you that I created,  my inspiration actually being bouquet of dried hydrangeas that sits on my dresser in an old antique vase.  The hydrangeas are ones that grow across the front of my house they are called Bobo.  These hydrangeas have been on my dresser since I cut them last fall and one day as I looked at them my inspiration hit me. Inspiration: Here is how it was created. Step 1   Card base is 5" X 7 - I used Tonic Studios Craft Perfect Ivory White Card Blanks.  These card blanks are very nice quality also com in white and other sizes. Step 2   Cut colored cardstock 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" using Oval die set ( Susan's Garden Notes Fitted Frame It used here) choose oval one size smaller than what you want for opening - die cut oval in cardstock keeping it close to top.    Cut Ivory cardstock 4-1/2" X 6-1/2"  Using next size up oval die cut oval adhere ivory on top of colored using Clear Doubl...
