Elizabeth Craft Designs Thankful

 Hello crafting friends!

I love how real these roses look and they aren't really all that hard.

I learned from my team mate and friend, Rajni Chawla.

Today I'm using Florals 27 to make my flowers.

My flowers sit in a lovely basket.

Elizabeth Craft Designs, Pinecone Thanks

Hello crafting friends!

 This could be a thank you card for a Christmas gift! A thank you for a wonderful year or any number of things we have to be thankful for.

Way to use autumn color for Christmas!

I used Autumn Harvest paper, Autumn Greetings, Pine Cones and Tab 4 with Tags

The Tab 4 with Tags comes in to play all over this friendly thank you tag. The plaid tag, the belt buckle,

the tag on tag, all these are from that one set.

I used Gloss white Nuvo on the pine cone for a bit of lingering snow.

Aren't these pine cones fantastic?  I love making them too, very dimensional and easy.

other products used: White Nuvo drops, chipboard, oxide inks, 1" brown ribbon,

brown cord, brownish cardstock, kraft cardstock.

Isaiah 9:6

For to us a child is born,
    to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon[d] his shoulder,
    and his name shall be called[e]
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Elizabeth Craft Designs Happy Birthday Jesus!

 Happy Christmas Y'all!

Today we celebrate the birth of Christ!!  Happy birthday Jesus!

Psalms 30:4

Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

I've made this beautiful card using Stamps, dies and paper from the Autumn Harvest Collection at

Elizabeth Craft Designs designed by Angelica Turner.

Florals 31, Florals 32,  Autumn Foliage, Autumn Harvest Paper Collection, 

Elegant Decorative Frame and Layered Greetings 1

I used several layers on this card, copper cardstock, gold cardstock, black cardstock, and 

decorative paper in layers.

The combination of decorative papers and inked flowers and leaves really make this a 

birthday card with elegance.

Put a little shimmer or sparkle on your flowers with fine or chunky glitter. Sometimes it's fun to also give your leaves some shine with Diamond Glaze or other glazing product.

AND

Be bold, mix up your colors when inking!

The Christmas story (in a nutshell) from 2 different accounts.

Matthew 1:20-25

20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
    and they shall call his name Immanuel”

(which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

Luke 2:6-13

6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.[c]

The Shepherds and the Angels

8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest,
    and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”[d]

Elizabeth Craft Designs Thinking of you bird

 Hello crafting friends,

I used the same flower die for both of these flower styles, one is curled inward and one downward.  What a difference it makes.

Wired stamen were used for centers so I used the leftover wire to make curly additions

to the bouquet.

It was fun using a border die to make a frame.

Luke 2:8-13

8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And [c]behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a [d]manger.”

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

14 “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill[e] toward men!”

Elizabeth Craft Designs Lovely Day in Copper

 Hello everyone!

This week I have made a framed floral with the Autumn Harvest lovely paper, copper cardstock and copper metallic thread.

This took a bit of work but not bad. I used the large and medium tags in Tab 4 with Tags.

The flower paper frame and the inner copper is popped up off of the green decorative paper.  Do you have to do that, no, but it adds interest.

Luke 2:4-7

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed,[b] who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.[c]
