Elizabeth Craft Designs- a Z-Fold

Hello friends,

Today I'm sharing a Z-Fold poppy card.

Z-Fold 

Wild Poppy, Columbine, Bloom Wildly Sentiments, Flower Centers 3, Stitched Squares and Circles,

Lace, Hearts and Doily,  Garden Party Soft Finish Cardstock

Fold a piece of white cardstock in half then use the 5 1/2" square die to cut card by laying the die,

on the fold side, just off the end so that the fold will not cut (the cutting edge should be parallel but not touching the fold).

Open card and score at 2 3/4" just on the left side.  Cut out 5" square from gold 2 times, 3 1/2" square from gold 1 time, and 3 1/2" circle and 3" circle taped together (to make a frame) from gold 1 time. Cut greenish color pattern paper 2 times with 4 1/2" square and 1 time with 4" circle.  Cut 2 doilies from white.

On inside of card, glue one 5" square, then the 4 1/2" greenish color paper making borders even.  Glue the 3 12" circle frame in the center. 

Cut the other 5" gold square in half then glue 1 half to the top and 1 half inside (see photo below).  Do the same with the 4 1/2" greenish paper, 1 half on top and 1 half inside.

Use foam tape or Fun Foam to pop up the 3 1/2" gold square and adhere it to the left side only of Z top.

Glue 4" greenish circle to gold square then 1 of the doilies.

To decorate I stamped and die cut 2 butterflies coloring them orange and yellow and adding glitter to the wings.  I die cut 6 poppy petals, 6 stamen and some leaves.  Color them with inks then glue them together in sets of 2, off-setting petals.  I glued some gauze onto the white doily then glued the flowers down, adding leaves.  I then glued the butterflies down to the card.

I stamped the sentiment on white then trimmed it down to fit on a 7/8" X 2 1/8" gold panel I had cut out.

I then popped it up in the center of the inside white doily. (See photo for placement).

Elizabeth Craft Designs-With Love

 Hello creative friends!

I've made some ornamental poppies today. They are so colorful and most of the time when I see poppy remembrances for memorials, they are red poppies.  The stamp centers come in handy to make realistic poppy flower centers along with the stamen dies.

I used the box embellishment dies in white to decorate this card.

Rectangle Gift Box, Stitched Rectangles and Labels, Flower Centers,

Bloom Wildly Sentiments, Wild Poppy, Pretty Pastels, and Soft Finish Cardstock

I added green Nuvo drops to the stamen ends.  Sheer black ribbon added as embellishments.

Elizabeth Craft Designs-Sparrow Sayings

 Hello friends,

Today I have a simple card highlighted with silver.

I used the stitched dies to create frames for the rectangle and oval then wove the branch through it, added tiny blossoms and a sweet bird.  Lastly, an encouraging sentiment!

Sparrow, Stitched Ovals, Bloom Wildly Sentiments, Stitched Rectangles and Labels,

Fitted Fishtails, Pretty Pastels, and Soft Finish Cardstock

I used some silver half balls as embellishments and Prills in the flower centers.

The bird was colored with Oxide Distress inks and brushes.   Detailed with a white paint pen

by Pasco.

Elizabeth Craft Design-Framed Warblers

 Hello there!

Here we are again with the sparrow making other birds, how about a Warbler this time.  I made a 3D frame and topped it with Blackfoot Daisies in pink.

Blackfoot Daisy, Sparrow, Floral Greenery 4, Bloom Wildly Sentiments, 

Spring Blossom and Soft Finish Cardstock

I used some threaded stamen for the flower centers.

I also glittered the flowers.

I used some gauze stained with tea die and some plastic eggs from Ranger

for the nest.  The eggs are sponged with alcohol inks.

The small flowers have Prills for their centers.

Thanks for visiting!
