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.

CAS Valentine’s Day Die-Cut Birds

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Valentine’s Day card created with a combination of die cuts. I have officially moved on from Christmas crafting.

The card spotlights the Elizabeth Craft Designs Birds die set; I dressed the birds for cold weather (one of the things I like about crafting Valentine’s Day cards is an opportunity to extend winter-themed supplies). I used Simon Says Stamps dies for the heart background and the sentiment and framed the scene with a now-retired My Favorite Things die. The base is dry-embossed with a We R Memory Keepers embossing folder.

Happy New Year!

Supplies: Simon Says Stamp On Edge Love You die set, We R Memory Keepers Wood Grain embossing folder

Let It Snow – Merry Monday Christmas Challenge Summer Link-up

Hello! I’m still playing along with the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge Summer Link-up (sadly, this challenge no longer is existence) with a CAS snow/ski-themed card featuring the Elizabeth Crafts’ Skis die set.

I began by die-cutting and assembling the skis and poles. I added Vintage Photo Distress ink to the skis for a little bit more color. I stamped the Hero Arts Let It Snow sentiment on white cardstock, which I die-cut with the mountain die in the Elizabeth Crafts’ Skis die set. I dry-embossed the MFT Stamps Timber Green cardstock base with the Taylored Expressions Cable Knit embossing folder for texture.
