Scarecrow Sweater: Papercrafted Fall Fashion

Hello! Today, I am showcasing Elizabeth Craft Designs products – the Sweater Season and Scarecrow die sets and Autumn Words stamp set – on a fall-themed card. I don’t own a fall novelty sweater, however, I can always craft one from paper!

To begin, dry-emboss a Persimmon cardstock panel, measuring 4 1/2″ square with cable folder (I used Cable Knit from Taylored Expressions). Attach to card base.
Cut sweater with dies in the Sweater Season set. Dry-emboss sweater body with SU Subtle folder (now retired). Alternatively, cut the sweater from textured cardstock. Add neckline, bottom hem, and cuffs, cut from white cardstock, to the sweater. Cut circles with a small circle die and add to sweater body for adornment.
Die-cut pieces for the Scarecrow head and hat from colored cardstock. Assemble. To create the mouth on the scarecrow, I cut a piece of cardstock with a 1/2-inch circle die. I used the negative portion to draw the mouth using a Faber Castell Pitt artist pen size XS pen. (I am writing this specifically so I will remember for next time.) Add assembled scarecrow face, with crow, to sweater front.
Stamp Autumn Words sentiment in black on to white cardstock and cut with the smallest die in the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables set.
Add sentiment and assembled sweater to card front.

Previously, I used the Scarecrow die set on a fall-themed card HERE and the Sweater Season die set on a Christmas-themed card HERE.

Elizabeth Craft Designs | Scarecrow’s Harvest Delight

Hello! Today, I am sharing a fall-themed card created with Elizabeth Craft Designs supplies. Picture a picturesque pumpkin patch, a scarecrow standing guard, and a cart bursting with pumpkins. It’s a heartwarming scene that captures the essence of autumn, with a heartfelt greeting that simply says, “Hello Fall.”

To begin, color Soft Finish cardstock with Distress Oxide inks of choice.
Die-cut pieces for the Scarecrow and Hay Ride from the ink-colored cardstock. Assemble. To create the mouth on the scarecrow, I cut a piece of vellum with a 1/2-inch circle die. I used the negative portion to draw the mouth using a Permawriter II size 03 pen. (I am writing this specifically so I will remember for next time.)
Dry emboss a Sea Glass A2-size cardstock panel with a folder for subtle texture. (Note: I used the now-retired SU Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions folder. The shim required is the base platform, the folder with the cardstock inside, and one cutting plate.)
Cut ground with die in Adventure Edges 2 from inked cardstock. Cut the fence from Woodgrain cardstock with die in the same set. Add to card base.
Attach cart and scarecrow to card with foam adhesive. Fill cart with leaves and pumpkins.
Stamp Autumn Words sentiment in Icing on the Cake ink on Taylored Expressions Sugar Cube cardstock and cut with the smallest die in the Small Stitched Rectangles set. Attach to card.

I have previously shared a card with the scarecrow HERE. I used the cart in HERE.

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.

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.

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.

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.
