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″).

Another Take on Penny Black Garden Fresh

Hello! I am sharing an appreciation card that showcases the 30-816 Garden Fresh stamp set (with coordinating die) from the Penny Black “Delight” release. I shared another card here with similar supplies.

I stamped, Copic-colored, and die-cut the pitcher and blooms with 30-816 Garden Fresh and 51-703 Garden Fresh Cut Out.
I stamped the sentiment from 30-710 Trust Me Builder and cut it with a banner die.
I cut the back frame with the 51-611 Creative Curves die from white cardstock. The paper behind is from a retired patterned paper collection, as is the card base.
To embellish, I cut 51-610 Hydrangea butterflies from yellow cardstock and heat-embossed them with clear powder for shine.

Another Take with the Spellbinders June 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! Here in the Pacific Northwest we are having warm, summer-like weather (highly unusual and it will be back to cooler temps tomorrow!). Today, I’m sharing a colorful A2-sized card created with the Spellbinders June 2021 Large Die of the Month “Color Block Circles & Stripes” and Clear Stamp of the Month Club “Circle of Sunshine.” I shared two slimline cards with these products in this post.

For the background, I applied Distress Oxide ink through the Sun Burst Stencil. I then applied Moonstone Glimmer Paste.
I heat-embossed the Clear Stamp of the Month Club sentiment and cut it with the circle die in the Large Die of the Month set.
I cut the loops from both orange and silver cardstock.
I created the circles from rainbow colors of cardstock.

Spellbinders June 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! Happy June (this year is zipping by)! I’m delighted to share two slimline projects created with the Spellbinders June 2021 Large Die of the Month “Color Block Circles & Stripes” and Clear Stamp of the Month Club “Circle of Sunshine.”

For the first project, I created a colorful, geometric-art card with the die and stamp sets.

I used the long strips die in the Large Die of the Month set to cut strips in colorful colors from all three widths – 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, and 3/4 inch. The strips are 8 1/2 inches long.
I arranged the strips at a 45-degree angle on a slimline card base.
I cut the circle pieces from the same four colors as the strips and from Snowdrift. I cut the curves from Snowdrift cardstock.
I heat-embossed the Clear Stamp of the Month Club sentiment in red.

For the second project, I created a sunshine-themed card.

I used the Large Die of the Month strips die in the set to cut 1/4 inch strips from cardstock to which I had applied Distress Oxide inks ranging from dark orange to yellow.
I stamped the Clear Stamp of the Month Club sentiment on to cardstock to which I had applied Distress Oxide ink and cut it with the circle in the set. I backed it with a 2-inch circle cut from vellum.
For the background, I applied Distress Oxide ink through the Sun Burst Stencil. I then applied Moonstone Glimmer Paste.
Once dry, I added the five horizontal strips and the sentiment circles to the stenciled background.
