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. 
Cut white cardstock 6 x 4" and cut a panel from the designer paper 4 x 6" images. Trim the panel to 5 7/8 x 3 7/8", ink the edges and adhere to the white cardstock.  
Adhere the panel to the center of the card front using dimensional tape.
Diecut, color and shape the Magnolia flowers, the Cherry Blossoms and the leaves. Add stamens to the beautiful flowers and adhere to the card front as shown, using hot glue.
Stamp the sentiment on White cardstock using Archival Watering Can ink, fussy cut and adhere using dimensional dots. 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!
Cut a piece of designer paper 6 7/8 x 4 7/8", ink the edges and adhere to the inside of the card. Stamp the image from the Floral Branches and Sentiments stamp set using Archival Watering Can ink and adhere to the designer paper.

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.

Easter Easel - Elizabeth Craft Designs

Hi and Welcome!!! 

Spring is on the way and Easter is almost here so I figured I'd better get started on my Easter cards. This is a pretty easel card using the beautiful Ornamental Frame along with the Florals 31, both designed by Angelica Turner. 

Using the largest Ornamental Frame Die, cut a card base. Use the same die and cut from white cardstock once and Pretty Pastels cardstock 2x. Adhere one of the designer papers to the white cardstock. Fold the top flap of the card base in half and adhere the layers to the bottom half of the fold to create an easel card. Adhere the other designer cardstock diecut to the inside of the card.

Using the decorative dies from the same set, cut 2x from white cardstock. 
Adhere to the outside and inside of the card base as shown. 
Diecut, color and shape the flowers and leaves from the Florals 31die set and adhere to the card base using hot glue. 
Stamp the sentiment on a 1 x 2" piece of white cardstock. Using a ticket punch, punch the corners and then ink with Cactus Flower ink. Adhere as shown using dimensional tape to create the stop for the easel. To finish the card add some pretty glittery gems.
