Elizabeth Craft Designs – Die-cut Winter Birds

Hello! Today I am sharing a winter-themed friendship card featuring the retired Elizabeth Craft Designs “Birds” die set paired with a Paper Smooches sentiment from the “Winter Sampler” set.

I die-cut the pieces from cardstock, patterned paper, and flock material and assembled the birds.
I stamped the Winter Sampler sentiment on to cardstock which I cut with a skinny rectangular die.
I cut the turquoise circles and added them and the sentiment strip to a patterned paper base.
I added the assembled birds with foam adhesive.

Elizabeth Craft Designs – Winter Birthday

Hello! I recently posted about how I’m trying to embrace winter this year rather than resist it. To that end, I am making winter-themed projects including this birthday card featuring Elizabeth Craft Designs dies.

I cut the Polar Bear from soft finish cardstock and colored him lightly around the edges with the Hickory Smoke ink. I colored the eyes and mouth (I used the Paper Smooches Snowman 2 die for the mouth) with black Copic marker. I then assembled the bear.
I cut the Polar Bear’s hat and assembled it.
I cut the balloons using the Balloons and Party Accessories die sets.
I sponged Tumbled Glass ink on to the card base.
I stamped the MFT Ready Set Snow sentiment in the upper left corner.
I added the balloons and bear to the card base.

Elizabeth Craft Designs – Honey Bear Valentine

Hello! Today I have a CAS Valentine created entirely with dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

- I cut the Honey Bear (now retired) pieces from soft-finish cardstock. I colored the bear’s body with Vintage Photo and Tea Dye inks with sponge applicators. I colored the nose with Walnut Stain ink and the eyes with a black Copic marker. I used a Taylored Expressions set to cut the mouth (I also colored it with a Copic marker).
- I cut the LOVE frame with the Peek-a-Boo Love set (now retired) from red and white cardstock, piecing the white letters into the frame. The heart and cupcake were cut with the same set.
- Once I had the bear assembled, I placed him into the frame. I added the assembly to a patterned paper base.

Happy New Year

Hello! Today, I am sharing a New Year greeting created with die cuts. I combined the Elizabeth Craft Designs Penguin and Party Accessories die sets to create a penguin ready to celebrate!

I dry-embossed the background with the Echo Park stencil.
I cut and assembled the penguin, glasses, and hat.
I die-cut the Hello with the MFT Happy Greetings die set (still available at a few stores) and the 2020 using the Simon Says Stamp Simple Numbers die set (retired).
I added the penguin, letters, and numbers to the card base with foam adhesive.

Wishing you and yours all the best this upcoming year!

The Stockings Were Hung

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card (the last of 2019) featuring the Elizabeth Craft Designs Hang the Christmas Stockings die set.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

I cut the stockings from silver, gold, and copper foil. The additional pieces (cuffs, toe, heel, overlay) were cut from white flock.
I assembled the stockings and added them to a patterned paper rectangle, on which I heat-embossed the Snow Globe Sentiments sentiment (most used Christmas sentiment set last year and this year!).
I added Kaiser Craft jewels to the stockings to simulate hangers/pegs. The card base was cut from gold brushed cardstock.

Merry Christmas!
