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!

Elizabeth Craft Designs - On the Farm

  • 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.

Poppy Stamps – Whittle Hippos

Hello! Today, I am sharing a summer-themed card featuring Poppy Stamps supplies. (It’s not swimming weather here in the Pacific Northwest! Nevertheless, I am drawn to bright colors and the idea of swimming.)

Poppy Stamps Whittle Hippos

  • I created the background from 1/2 inch strips of coral, yellow, and light blue-green cardstock, which I taped together on the back. The strips create a 4 1/2 inch square background. The card base is 4 3/4 inch square.
  • I die-cut the Whittle Floating Hippo and Whittle Happy Hippo from gray cardstock. The swimming ring was cut from coral cardstock that I heat-embossed with clear powder.
  • I die-cut the Whittle Wave Background from teal cardstock.
  • I stamped the Whittle Sealife Sentiments sentiment on white cardstock and cut it with a 1/4 inch die.

Marianne Design Beach Scene

Hello! Even though it is not even 60 degrees here in the Pacific Northwest, I am sharing a beach scene! The card is created primarily with die sets from Marianne Design. (The company is based in The Netherlands; I buy their sets from Frantic Stamper or 123Stitch.)

Marianne Design Beach Scene

  • The sand is created from light tan cardstock to which I added dry clear glitter with double-sided adhesive.
  • The Lifeguard House has open slots on the back through which I inked the details (white pigment ink on navy blue cardstock).
  • The Lifeguard House die is one piece. I cut it from white and added the navy blue portion (by fussy-cutting it). I did the same with the red flag.
  • The umbrella die is one piece as well. I cut if from white and yellow cardstock; I cut the yellow portion and added it to the white umbrella piece.
  • The sentiment is from a now-retired Simon Says Stamp set. I stamped it on to white cardstock and cut it with a Memory Box cloud die.
