Happy Anniversary

Welcome friends to a brand new post where we are debuting yet another collection which simply classic , elegant and unique. So that we can capture our memories better  in a more beautiful way we have this collection beautifully made.

Today I have shadow box easel card using the wedding classic collection.

Other Products: Heat Gun, Foam, Scissors, scoreboard, Trimmer, Distress ink, water color brushes, vellum

For tips on how to create a layered card and shadow boxes  check out this video here

Instructions: Start by taking a white card stock that measure 4.25" x 11". Score on the 11" at 5.5" and 2.75" and fold along the scored lines. This will form  the card easel base. Cut coordinating paper with 1/8" less than the card base and adhere to the white card easel panel. For the inside cut another piece of coordinating paper and cut at 1/8" less than 4.25" x 5.5" and adhere it inside. On four corners adhere flat base pearls and finish the inside with a sentiment cut from the paper collection. Use some foam tape to adhere the sentiment which will help the easel to stand.

For the easel front panel, die cut 2 piece from the Decorative Medallion Die using the white card stock. Also die cut the outline using a coordinating paper and solid cardstock. Adhere altogether and adhere to the easel front forming a circle. Using the CBC1-456-2 Card Shadow Box Set - White fold the shadow box along the score line. Cut cordinating piece of paper and stick it to the shadow box. 

To embellish the shadow box stamp and die cut from the wedding bells stamp and die set from a water color paper. Color the images using black soot distress ink and pink archival ink. Die cut some leaves from the Botanical rose stamp set using vellum. Trim all elements and assemble them inside and also on top of the shadow box.Once the shadow box is embellished adhere it on the medallion base which in turn stick it to the easel front base. Die cut and shape some botanical rose flowers and place them on the sides to complete the easel card.

Share how you like the card and also would love to hear from you.

Until then happy crafting!

Celebrate every Victory

Hello friends, here today welcoming you to a brand new post. This has been one of my favourite and enjoy it thoroughly whenever I go back to the dies to create some projects. The colors are so vibrant and can be created with so many variations.

Placing my flower bouquets on a background is something I work for. This time instead of using inks, paints, glitters or beads I used some dies to create the background. Here's how I created the project:

Instructions
Step 1: Cut and score a white card stock to measure 5.5" x 4.25"
Step 2: Cut a piece of colored card stock at 2" less than the base. Die cut using the postage stamp rectangle die.
Step 3: Die Cut another piece of white card stock at 4" less than the card base using the postage stamp rectangle die.
Step 4: Die cut some pieces of entwined circle. Cut them into random pieces and adhere them to the card base. This will complete the card base.
Step 5: Die cut several pieces of the hydrangea from white card stock. Shape and color them.
Step 6: Assemble the shaped flowers, leaves and stem on the finished card base.
Step 7: Finish it with a sentiment.

Until Then Happy Crafting!

Congratulations - New Home

Good Morning friends, welcome once again to a very interesting post. Its interesting cause I have never made this kind of a card before and also the kind of dies used.

We have a whole new range of  cottages, frames, window dies at Elizabeth Craft Designs Store. They have all the detailed pieces to create your own cottage or country side.

So when I received  the dies, I wondered what can I use this for. Something one can relate to and definitely stays meaningful.

Here;s what I thought of, how about a House Warming Card. These dies fits perfect with the occasion and a must celebration for all.

Instructions

Die cut all the pieces of the Cottage die using a water color card stock. Later using distress ink, colored all the elements. This card is a little taller as I wanted to keep space at the bottom for the name and date.

For the tree fussy cut tree trunk and colored using distress ink. On a soft finish cardstock mix some shades of Crushed Olive and Broken China distress ink for the background.

Assembled the house on a piece of foam and then places the tree. Placed the panel on the base card for the final card.

Die cut the word Congratulations on a black Card Stock and then stick it at the bottom.

Card 2

For this card, stamp and repeat stamp the image. Later die cut the center piece. Using distress ink again we have colored it. Later it was adhered and placed.

We would love to see what you create. Love to hear from you.
