Merry & Bright

Hi there,

we are starting a new Challenge over on the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog and this month it is all about the Frame it dies. I used the Frame it - Stitched Rectangles to create more dimension on my card project:

• stamp two scenes from the adorable Elizabeth Craft Designs Christmas Kids set with Versafine Onyx Black and cut them out with the coordinating dies
• color the images with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils
• cut out several frames using the Elizabeth Craft Designs Frame it - Stitched Rectangles and the Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles
• adhere the frames on top of each other using double-sided foam adhesive
• create a shaker element behind the last frame and fill it with sequins 
• close the shaker element with patterned paper from the ModaScrap Christmas Holidays 6x6 paper pad
• stamp the sentiment from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Classic Christmas Sentiments with Versafine Olympia Green onto a sentiment strip cut into a banner shape
• adhere the frames onto a cardbase and the images onto the frames
• embellish the tree with Nuvo Crystal Drops (Red Berry, Apple Green, Dandelion Yellow)

Our challenge question is: Which of the Garden Notes - Frame It/Stitched Die Sets would you use on a project and how would you use it?

Hugs,

Merry Christmas - Frohes Fest

Hi there,

I created this sequin background window card for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

• cut out a stitched panel from smooth white cardstock and create a background using the little images from the Karten-Kunst Runde Siegel set and Versafine (Crimson Red, Toffee, Olympia Green)
• cut out a window from the panel using the background from the Karten-Kunst Frohes Fest die set
• cover the window with a piece of acetate and glue some Pretty Pink Posh Sequins Mossy Green onto the patterned paper background - the paper is from the Maja Designs Home for Christmas 6x6 paper pad
• glue the sentiment cut from red glitter paper using the Karten-Kunst Frohes Fest die set on top of the acetate

Have a christmasy day.

Hugs,

Hi there,

I created this faux-watercolor Christmas Card for Elizabeth Craft Designs:

• cut out a stitched panel from watercolor paper using one of the Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles
• stamp a sentiment from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Classic Christmas Sentiments with Versamark and heat-emboss it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder
• stamp the pine twig from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Poinsettia set with Distress Ink (Pine Needles, Frayed Burlap) and mist the stamp with water after inking it
• ink up the edges of the panel with Distress Ink Frayed Burlap and add some splatters with watered-down Distress Ink Pine Needles
• add a strip of patterned paper from the ModaScrap Christmas Holidays 6x6 paper pad to the top and the bottom of the panel before adhering it to a cardbase

Have a christmasy day.

Hugs,

Merry Christmas Snowflakes
