Elizabeth Crafts Design Day

This is the last of my showcases from the Romantic Revival Release. I really did have fun creating cards for this awesome release!  I hope you have enjoyed the last few weeks of my creations.  Today's cards are using Build a Bouquet Die Set.  

I did start by using the Postage, Arches & Keys Die Set for my panel layers, along with the Everyday Big Words for Friend.

Then it's just a matter of cutting out the flowers, coloring them, and adhering.  This set practically makes itself! 😉. It's very fun putting this together.

For the second card I simply changed up the colors.

I really love the arched background, it adds a  little fun.  I used a sheet of paper from the Romantic Revival Paper Pad to make it.





This is my last post as a Designer for ECD.  It's been a totally enjoyable year - getting to work with amazing product is always a good thing!  I appreciate the opportunity ECD!  Thank you!
=================================

I'll be back next year with more fun cards and projects!  Happy 2026!!

CutCardStock Day


I can't believe it has been 16 months [for me] designing for this [fabulous] company!  I am thrilled to be staying on for 2026 too!

But that said, today is my last CCS post of 2025.  [I'm still blown away how fast this year went!  I also know that I am not the only one who feels this way.  Poof!] Let's end it in a colorful way~

Rainbow anyone?  Yes please.  I used the following card stocks:  Re-Entry Red, Adobo, Solar Yellow, Bonsai Green, Dark Teal, and Grape Jelly.

It was very fun to end 2025 with lots of color!
===================

I hope you enjoyed my year of card samples showcasing the lovely colors that CCS carries in the store.  If you haven't done it yet, I encourage you to check it out; CutCardStock - it will be worth your time!  Don't forget, they also sell other items like envelopes, adhesives and even some ribbon! [I'm not affiliated, but love sharing, as their prices are outstanding.]

I'll be back in 2026~

Simon Says Monday Challenge - Sparkle & Shine

I like December!  I get some time off from teams, which in turn, gives me time to join in other challenges.  I watched an older video by KW and was inspired to make this card.  Fortunately, it works for Simon Says Monday Challenge - Sparkle & Shine.  This card definitely works for this challenge.  Yay.

I inked a panel, and then added some gold mirror paper snowflakes, along with a gold mirror paper sentiment [CutCardStock Bright Foil Gold].

Last step was adding on some "snow" splatter.  Yep, totally happy with this card!
=============

Hope you all have a very Merry!

Another Special Elizabeth Craft Designs Day

I am having another "special" ECD day here on my blog.  Again, I wanted to share what I made for the Romantic Revival Release and there were so many, I needed additional posts as to not overwhelm.

For today's post, it has cards made with the Romantic Revival Paper Pad, and also the images that can be cut out and used on your cards!

Isn't this rose stunning?  I cut out a 5.25 x 4 card panel from the page of paper, and for a little fun, I eclipsed the Everyday Big Words to add a little somethin' somethin'.

Yeah, bummed I missed the "fill" in on the o,a,b etc.  It stills works, but sometimes its in the details~


This next card just packs a punch!  I used the Envelopes & Paper Sack Die Set to cut out the center of a card panel, I found an image in the paper pack, got it centered, and taped it to the back of the opening, and then adhered the panel onto the card base.



And using the Everyday Big Words3, I added the greetings.

==================================


This last card, again, is using images from the paper pack.  This vintage Santa is pretty cool. 


Add the fun doily from Lace, Heart & Doily and you have a winner!



Merry Christmas!

Elizabeth Craft Designs Day

 Let's get into showcasing some more of the Romantic Revival Release.  This week; Postage, Arches & Keys Die Set.

The die makes for a fun shaped tag!  I used some stamps from the Postcard Parts Stamp Set, along with some flower and foliage dies from Build a Bouquet Die Set to build up some layers and decorate this tag.


And yes, I used some paper from the Romantic Revival Paper Pad, and stamp images from Music & Ornate Frame Stamp Set and Playing Card Collage Stamp Set.

This tag used a few products!  

See you next Monday - Have a Merry Christmas!!

Instagram Patterned Paper Party Hop


It's another fun time over on Instagram - all about patterned paper.  I found a pile of 6x6 Christmas papers in my stash, and yep, I used some of them.

I even found some colored vellum!  I just laugh at how product gets "put away" - and in my case - totally forgotten about.  [I am sure I am not the only one that happens to.]  It is fun to "find it" again, and even use it!  Now, there's a win.

I also used an older MFT sentiment.

You can see more of the hop over on Instagram HERE.

CutCardStock Day


Today's card is fun.  It is also nice and thin for easy mailing.

Needless to say, it is CAS at its best too.  I used [my standard] Bright White #130 card stock, along with the Bright Foil Gold card stock, and Re-Entry Red card stock, a touch of Shimmery Wedding Cake card stock, and finally, Red Flash Glitter card stock.

I'm very happy with this "make me smile" card.  

I'll be back next week. That will be the last of my 2025 CutCardStock Days.

Special Elizabeth Craft Designs Day

I am posting a special post because I have extra cards/projects I have created and I didn't want my normal posts to be overwhelming.  I hope you enjoy today's added goodies!

For this fun card, I used a few of the new release products!  I started with the Postage, Arches & Keys Die Set for the background panel and used the music sheet from Music & Ornate Frame Stamp Set, for the image.  I used the border dies from Lace, Heart & Doily Die Set, and the Everyday Big Words for the celebrate. 

Lastly, I used the flower image from Playing Card Collage in just a lovely turquoise color to match the rest of the card.

=====================

For this gift card holder project I used the Envelopes & Paper Sack Die Set, with images from the Tea Time Die Set.  The papers were from the Romantic Revival Paper Pack.




As you can see, you can use a gift card in this holder, or add small candies or even tea bags for small gifts.  Just a fun ABC project.

Instagram ATC Hop


Yep, it's time for the fun Instagram ATC Hop!  While mine are ATC's, I turned them into tags for Christmas presents.  Since I don't trade mine, using them as tags works for me!

I grabbed 2 inked panels from my stash, and cut them to an ATC size [3.5x2.5].  I stamped some images, added some embossing paste, and shockingly, I found these trees in my Christmas stuff, so I added those.  [Yay for that!]



I am very happy with this set!  

You can see more fun ATC's over on Instagram HERE.

Elizabeth Craft Designs Day

It's ECD Day again here on the ole blog.  Today I am showcasing the Romantic Revival  Release Layered Roses Die Set.

I used an arched die from Postage, Arches & Keys for the background of these gorgeous rose dies.


And a second CAS card on a mini slimline even!  



The die cut words on both cards are from the Everyday Big Words.

That's it for today's eye candy.  I will be back next Monday.

CutCardStock Day



Apparently, I am very drawn to red for this time of year.  While this isn't a Christmas card, I still adore this card with the red!

I used the [very vivid] Astrobright Re-Entry Red card stock for the base and the embossed panel, while using the Classic Crest Bright White 130# card stock for the stenciled floral arrangement from Altenew.


I did have fun creating this card with CCS paper, and this new [to me] Altenew set.

See you next week~
