Framed Hydrangea - Elizabeth Craft Designs

 Hi and welcome friends!

Woohoo! The Beautiful Blooms Collection designed by Liz Gaze and Els Van de Burgt is  finally here!!!!!

There are so many beautiful blooms in this collection but I had to create the hydrangea first because it's one of my absolutely favorite flowers. I decided to keep the hydrangea as the focal point and beautifully frame it using the new Stitched Rectangles die and placing it on a lace background. I love how it turned out and I hope you do, too.

Create a 5 x 7" white card base. Using the largest and smallest rectangles from the Stitched Rectangle and Labels die set, diecut a frame from Garden Party cardstock. Then diecut the largest and second smallest rectangles from the same cardstock. Lastly, diecut the largest and second largest rectangles from the same cardstock. Ink the edges and adhere together using dimensional tape.  

Cut white cardstock 4 3/4 x 6 3/4", cover with white lace and adhere the frame to the lace. Then adhere to the card front.

Diecut the hydrangea flowers from Soft Finish Cardstock, color using Deep purple and Manganese Blue Archival ink and shape. Cut the hydrangea base three time from soft finish cardstock. Trim two of them making each a little smaller than the other, color them blue and adhere them together using dimensional dots. Add the colored and shaped flowers to the base, creating a very dimensional and beautiful hydrangea. Diecut the stem and leaves, color shape and adhere all together. Adhere a single prill to the center of each little flower.

Adhere the gorgeous hydrangea to the lace background using glue and dimensional dots. Stamp the sentiment from Bloom Sentiments Stamp Set on white cardstock using Deep Purple ink. Diecut using the dove tail stitched die from the Rectangle Box Gift Set.Adhere to the card front using dimensional tape.

Using the Stitched Rectangles and Labels die set, cut a rectangle from the designer cardstock. Stamp the sentiment in the center using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and adhere to the inside of the card.

Chicadee Birthday - Elizabeth Craft Designs

 Hi and Welcome!!!

I'm so sorry I've been absent for a couple of weeks. I was dealing with some health issues and was hospitalized for a while. All is good now and I'm happy to be crafting again. 

I missed a few birthdays and I created this card for one of those birthdays. The Spring Blossom Collection by Angelica Turner is one if my absolute favorites.

Create a 7 x 5" tent fold white card base. Cut 6 7/8 x 4 7/8" piece from the Spring Blossom cardstock, ink the edges using Distress Oxide Black Soot ink.

To finish off the card front, randomly dab with glue and sprinkle with chunky glitter. Brush the flowers with glue and sprinkle with the chunky glitter to add lots of pretty sparkle. I do love sparkle!

Western Themed Bridal Shower - Elizabeth Craft Designs

 Hi friends! Welcome!

I attended an amazing Western themed bridal shower and this is the card I created for the beautiful bride-to-be using the fabulous Bohemian Rose Collection by Angelica Turner. I tried to stay within the bride's color palette and this collection was perfect for that. I just added a little pink that wasn't in her neutral color scheme. (After all, a little pink never hurt anyone lol.)

Create a 5 x 7" cream card base. Cut the brown Bohemian Rose cardstock 5 x 7" and a lighter designer cardstock 4 3/4" x 6 3/4". Distress the edges and adhere the layers together using glue, then adhere to the card front using dimensional tape. Cut a piece of lace and adhere to the center of the card front. I then adhered the boots from my stash using dimensonal dots. 

Cut the roses and companion flowers from Soft Finish Cardstock, color using a combination of Pink Peony and Pebble Beach inks. Diecut the greenery and the rose leaves from the Bohemian Rose cardstock, add touches of pink to some of the leaves and shape. 

Adhere the flowers and leaves to the card front using hot glue. Stamp the sentiment on a piece of designer cardstock, distress the edges and adhere to the bottom left. Add pearls as shown to finish the card front. 

Cut the brown Bohemian Rose Cardstock 4 7/8 x 6 7/8", distress the edges and adhere to the inside of the card. Cut cream cardstock for your personal message 4 x 6", distress the edges and adhere to the brown cardstock.
