Wet Cardboard Poppies - Elizabeth Craft Designs

 Hi and welcome! I'm so glad you're here!

I had sooo much fun creating these wet cardboard poppies for my husband's 85th birthday card. Liz Gaze and Els Van de Burgt designed the poppies but it was Els who posted a video and showed us how to make them from wet cardboard. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to try making them and now I'm obsessed. At my advanced age lol, I still love learning new techniques. I think it's what keeps me young! 🤣🤣🤣

See Els' video here. Her card is absolutey GORGEOUS!!!

Here is my simple creation using the wet cardboard Poppies. I love how it turned out.

Create a 5 x 7" black card base. Cut a 4 3/4 x 6 3/4" cork layer and ink the edges. Then cut a 4 1/2 x 6 1/2" designer paper layer (I used Devid's Background Volume 4 for mine.), ink the edges, adhere the two layers together and adhere to the card front. Diecut Lace All Over from black cardstock and adhere to the middle of the card front. Tear a piece of corrugated cardboard, ink the edges and adhere as shown.  

Soak a cardboard box in water and remove the top layer when wet. Take a large piece and wrinkle up, generousy spray with Distress Spritz - Vintage Photo and randomly brush with metallic gold paint. When dry, cut a piece and flatten out a bit by placing between the plates and running through the die cutting machine. Take another piece of the wet cardboard (do not wrinkle), spray with Bundled Sage and Salvaged Patina Distress Spritz. Diecut flowers and buds from the Vintage Photo piece and the leaves from the Sage and Patina piece. Cut the stamens from the vintage photo, color the stems with black magic marker and the tips with gold paint. Create the flowers, add the stamens and gold beads to the centers.

Create a pretty arrangement on the front and adhere with hot glue. Diecut Happy Birthday from the vintage photo cardboard and the background from black cardstock. Adhere together and adhere to the card front top left and bottom right using dimensional dots. Diecut numbers from black and adhere as shown. 

Cut Kraft cardstock 4 3/4 x 6 3/4", designer cardstock 4 1/2 x 6 1/2", ink the edges, adhere together and adhere to the inside. Cut white cardstock 4 x 6", ink the edges, add personal message and adhere to the inside to complete the card.

Stitched Masculine Card - Elizabeth Craft Designs

 Hi and Welcome!

The Paper Flowers Stitched Dies by Els Van de Burgt and Liz Gaze are perfect for creating masculine cards. Devid Roodenburg's stencils and some Lunar Paste gave the card texture and light and Angelica Turner's beautiful cardstock created the perfect base.

Create a 5 x 7" sand card base. Using the largest Stitched Rectangle die, cut dark Bohemian Rose Cardstock. Using the the next size Stitched Rectangle die, cut  a lighter designer paper from the same collection and ink all the edges. Diecut the two larges tags from the Stitched Rectangles and Labels die set. Cut the largest one from the darker designer cardstock and the next one from the lighter designer cardstock. Using the stencils from Journal Stencils 11, add Golden Hour Solar Paste to both tags and the lighter Stitched Rectangle. Ink all the edges and adhere the two stitched rectangle diecut layers together and then adhere to the card front using dimensional tape.   

Diecut the tags again from sand cardstock and adhere to the decorative tags for strength and dimension. Add reinforcements and twine to the tags and adhere the largest tag to the card front using dimensional tape and adhere the smaller tag to the larger one using glue. 

Diecut the border from the darker designer cardstock and adhere behind the smaller tag and along the bottom of the card front. Using the smallest circle from the Stitched Squares and Circles die set, cut from the dark designer paper. Using the largest circle from the Rectangle Gift Box, cut from the lighter cardstock. Stamp the sentiment on the smaller circle, ink the edges of both, adhere together off center, and adhere to tags using dimensiinal tape. 

Using the second largest Stitched Rectangle, cut from the lighter designer cardstock, ink the edges and adhere to the inside. Using the smallest stitched rectangle, cut from white cardstock, add personal message and adhere to the inside.
