Hugs in a Mug – A Cozy Christmas Card

Hello! Picture a cozy scene filled with the aroma of cocoa and the joy of festive treats. Today, I am depicting that scene with the Elizabeth Craft Designs Warm Winter Mug die set and the Holiday Treats stamp set.

Hugs in a Mug - A Cozy Christmas Card

The Warm Winter Mug die set and the Holiday Treats stamp set were part of the Cozy and Warm Collection, released last year; you can see more about the release in this video.

  • Cut the Warm Winter Mug pieces from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble.
  • To create the ombré background, apply Festive Berries Oxide ink to white cardstock.
  • Stamp the sentiment “hugs in a mug” from the Holiday Treats set on to the inked panel and trim to 5″ wide by 5 1/4″ tall. I let the width and height of the mug dictate the card size. Add panel to card base.
  • Finally, embellish with Mini Snowflakes cut from white glitter foam to fill the empty spaces and enhance the wintery feel.

Crafting Warmth | Christmas in July

Hello! Today I am showcasing Elizabeth Craft Designs products – the Sweater Season die set and Holiday Treats stamp set – on a holiday card. These sets were part of the Cozy and Warm Collection, released last year; you can see more about the release in this video. I am currently enjoying participating in the ongoing Christmas in July celebration at Scrapbook.com, as it builds anticipation for the upcoming holiday season.

Crafting Warmth | Christmas in July

Using the Sweater Season die set, I cut two winter sweaters from wool felt, adding warmth and coziness to the card. The sentiment, from the Holiday Treats set, stamped on a woodgrain pattern, also reinforces the winter theme.

Step-by-step instructions to create the holiday card:

    • Cut the sweaters from wool felt using the Sweater Season die set. Assemble. For greater stability, I cut backs for the sweaters from cardstock. I trimmed the edges of the cardstock so that only the felt was visible. Note: I used the Scarecrow die set to cut the eyes from Crushed Black Velvet cardstock for the bear.
    • Stamp the sentiment “Cozy Winter Vibes” from the Holiday Treats set on to a six by six inches woodgrain patterned paper panel. Add to card base.
    • Add die-cut snowflakes to fill in the white space and enhance the wintery feel.

With just a change of colors, the sweater and sentiment would work on autumn-themed, Valentine’s Day, or winter-themed (non-Christmas holiday) cards.

Elizabeth Craft Designs | Halloween Gnome

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Halloween-themed card featuring a combination of Elizabeth Craft Designs supplies.

Elizabeth Craft Designs | Halloween Gnome

  • I colored Soft Finish cardstock in a variety of Distress Oxide ink colors from which I cut the Gnome, cauldron (included in the Halloween Accessories set), and pumpkin (in the Hay Ride set). I used a die in the Scarecrow set to cut the eyes.
  • I stamped the Autumn Words sentiment on white cardstock to which I applied Hickory Smoke and Tumbled Glass ink for the ground and sky.
  • I added the inked sentiment panel to a card base covered with paper in the Halloween pad to reinforce the theme.

  • I colored Soft Finish cardstock with a variety of Distress Oxide inks from which I cut the Scarecrow pieces.
  • I stamped a white cardstock panel with the Autumn Words sentiment and cut it with the largest die in the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables set.
  • I added the stamped panel to an A2-size background of Fall Plaids paper, which I attached to a card base.
  • I added the assembled Scarecrow and crows (cut with the same die set) to the panel.

Elizabeth Craft Designs | Gnome on a Hay Ride

Hello! Today I am sharing a fall-themed card created with Elizabeth Craft Designs supplies. I have titled the post “Gnome on a Hay Ride”; you could also say he is in the pumpkin patch!

Elizabeth Craft Designs | Gnome on a Hay Ride

  • I colored Soft Finish cardstock with a variety of inks from which I cut the Gnome and Hay Ride trailer and pumpkins. I used the Farmer set for the eyes. (There are eye dies in the Scarecrow set as well.) I cut the hay bale with a die in the Farm Accessories set and the crow with a die in the Scarecrow set (now discontinued).
  • I stamped the Autumn Words sentiment on to an A2-size panel on to which I applied inks for the sky and ground. I have very few fall/Halloween-themed sentiment stamp sets and just purchased this one.
  • I added the assembled trailer with gnome to the background panel with foam adhesive.
  • I previously used the Gnomes die set on a card here and the Hay Ride trailer here.
