Monkey on the Farm – Elizabeth Craft Designs Die-cuts

Hello! Today I am sharing a farm-themed card crafted with Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets. I recently shared another ECD farm-themed card here. The Elizabeth Craft Designs farm release includes a farmer die set that I don’t own. There are some cute examples of various farm animals from the release driving the tractor, which are on my list to try. I figured I would start with the monkey, (part of a safari-themed release from several years ago) who I have used on cards here, here, and here.

I die-cut the tractor and assembled the pieces. I made the tractor orange as that’s the color of my husband’s tractor.
I die-cut the grass from patterned paper and die-cut the fence from white cardstock.
I die-cut the corn stalks with dies in the Farm Accessories set.
I used a Taylored Expressions alpha die set to cut the “Howdy” sentiment. I like the balance the black letters provide with the black tires.

Elizabeth Craft Designs – On the Farm

Howdy and Hee Haw! Today I am sharing a farm-themed card created with Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets. You can see more about the ECD Life is Better on the Farm Collection here. Els has an infectious enthusiasm!

I die-cut the rooster, the hen, and the hay from watercolored cardstock. I assembled the pieces.
I die-cut the grass from cardstock to which I applied Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink.
I die-cut the fence from white cardstock.
I applied Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to the background and stamped the Technique Tuesday sentiment.
I added the layers to the card, popping the rooster and hen up with foam adhesive.

Elizabeth Craft Designs – Birthday Monkey in a Jeep

Hello! Today, I am sharing a birthday card created with products from Elizabeth Craft Designs for someone enthusiastic about jeeps and/or animals. Whenever I create a card with a jeep (or tractor or car, …), it is with either my eldest son or my husband in mind. I have shared cards with some of these same products here and here.

I cut the Monkey from cardstock colored with inks (Vintage Photo and Memento Desert Sand).
I cut the Jeep from red, dark red (behind the grill), black, and yellow cardstock, as well as silver foil.
I used the Party Accessories set to cut the hat and the balloons.
I stamped a Stampin’ Up sentiment on to the light blue background (5 1/2″ x 6 1/2″).

Elizabeth Craft Snowman Valentine

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, winter-themed, Valentine created with Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets.

I cut the Peek-A-Boo frame and inlaid the letters.
I cut and assembled the Jack Frost snowman, accessorizing him with a hat cut with dies in the Winter Accessories set.
I tucked the snowman into the frame and backed it with light blue cardstock.
I added the assembly to a patterned paper card base.
I embellished the scene with snowflakes cut with the Penguin die set.

I have previously used the Jack Frost snowman here and the Peek-A-Boo frame on a card here.

Elizabeth Craft Design Winter Cat

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS winter-themed card featuring the Elizabeth Craft Design cat die set.

I colored Bristol with various Distress Inks and cut the colored paper with the Cat and Winter Accessories sets.
I drew the mouth on the cat with an American Crafts .01 point pen (noting this mostly for myself) and assembled the pieces with glue.
I added the assembled cat to a patterned paper background, (I liked the contrast the yellow provided and the pattern reminded me of a sweater), on which I had stamped the sentiment from Penny Black Bright and Light set.
To reinforce the winter theme, I added snowflakes cut with the ECD Penguin die set.
