Birthday Fun Fold - Elizabeth Craft Designs

 Hi and Welcome!

My card today was created for a special friend for her birthday. The beautiful Lenten Rose designed by Liz Gaze and Els Van de Burgt is the star of this card. The stitched square dies also designed by those beautiful ladies helped me create this awesome  fun fold.

Score 9 x 6" white cardstock at 3" and fold to create card base. Diecut white cardstock using largest stitched square die. Cut in half, place back in the die to create the stitched edge on the cut side. Diecut Pretty Pastels cardstock using the second largest square. Cut to 2 1/2" and put back in the die to create the stitched edge. Adhere the two diecuts together and adhere to the 3" side of the card front. Diecut white cardstock using the third largest stitched square die and designer cardstock using the smallest square die. Adhere together and adhere to the left side of the front as shown. 

Diecut, color and shape the florals, leaves and greenery and create a pretty arrangement on the card front. 

Love these flowers! You can add a sentiment if you want but I decided not to on this particular card. 

The funfold creates so much interest and is so easy.

Tie a triple loop bow using narrow sheer ribbon and tuck in behind the flowers and adhere with hot glue.   

Using the largest and second largest dies, cut from white cardstock and designer cardstock, adhere together and adhere to the inside of the card.

Sometimes less is more. I loved creating this simple Sweet 16 card. I was pressed for time and didn't think I could put together such a pretty card in a short amount of time. But, I did, and she loved it. The Bohemian Rose Collection by Angelica Turner, saved the day. 

Start with an A2 foiled card base and then cut a pearlized cream card layer 4 x 5 1/4" and emboss it using a textured embossing folder. Adhere to the card base using dimensional tape.

Cut, color, shape and assemble a rose from the Bohemian Rose Collection. Cut, color and shape greenery from the same collection. Cut additional greenery from gold cardstock and shape. Adhere the greenery and rose to the card front using hot glue.

Add the gold "Sweet 16" to the top left of the card front. To add a little sparkle, adhere some Swarovski crystals.

Cut a 4 x 5 1/4" metallic gold layer for the inside and adhere. Add sentiment to 3 3/4 x 5" white cardstock. Use a pretty corner punch and then adhere to the gold layer.

Thinking of You/Sympathy - Elizabeth Craft Designs

 Hi and welcome!

A dear friend passed away and this is the card I made to send to his grieving wife. I altered the beautiful rose from the Bohemian Rose Collection by Designs by Angelica Turner to create this flower and used the beautiful Ornamental Frame, also designed by Angelica, as the base.

Use the outside die from the Ornamental Frame to create the card base. Diecut another layer in white and a layer in a light purple. Adhere the layers together and adhere to the card base. Diecut the decorative layers in white and adhere. When you adhere the center diecuts, use dimensional squares.  

Diecut, color and shape the rose and the greenery. I used three layers, two larger and one the next size smaller to create each flower and then added pearl stamens.  

Adhere the flowers and greenery to the card front using hot glue. Stamp the sentiment on white cardstock using black ink, diecut using the smallest circle from the Rectangle Gift Box and adhere to the card front using dimensional squares. 

Using the outside die from the Ornamental Frame, diecut light purple cardstock and adhere to the inside of the card. Add your message to 6 x 4" white cardstock, use a punch to create the ticket corners and adhere to the inside. 

Update: Before I put the card in the mail, I decided to add a butterfly from my stash. I think that really finished it off.

Mother's Day Magnolia's - Elizabeth Craft Designs

Hi and Welcome!

Happy Belated Mother's Day!!! 

I think the beautiful magnolia from The Spring Blossom Collection by Designs by Angelica Turner is the perfect flower for Mother's Day. I created this card for my daughter and I really love how it turned out. 

Create a 6 x 6" white tent fold card base. Using the largest stitched square die, cut from white cardstock. Using the second largest stitched square die, cut again from white cardstock. Use a textured embossing folder to emboss the top of this diecut and use a floral embossing folder to emboss the bottom. Adhere the two squares together and adhere to the card front. Cu a piece of lace ribbon and adhere to separate the two embossed designs.

Diecut, color and shape the beautiful magnolia flowers and leaves. Adhere the magnolia petals together slightly offset, pierce the flower centers and insert pearl stamens. Top Tip: I like to spray the flowers with water before shaping to break the paper fibers. It helps to create a lovely, firm dimensional flower. 

Adhere the flowers and leaves to the card front creating a pretty arrangement. Generate a sentiment on the computer, cut to 2 5/8 x 3/8", emboss using the same textured embossing folder and adhere using dimensional tape. Add some petite pearls for the finishing touch.

Using the second largest stitched square die, cut from pink cardstock and adhere to the inside of the card. Add your message on white cardstock, stamp the floral image from the Floral Branches & Sentiments stamp set on the bottom right and diecut using the smallest stitched square die.
