Elizabeth Craft Designs -Butterfly Garden

 Hello crafting friends!

I've made a shaped card for today using the top portion of the Delicate Fancy Purse.

Doing this shaped card takes some careful cutting.  By placing 1 side of the die slightly off the fold and by placing the top cutting plate above where the end of the die is (so as to NOT cut through the end which would be the middle of the card).  Sometimes this takes a bit of practice but you can do it!!  You will then have to turn the die around and do the same thing for the other end of the card.  Cut 2 of the inside decorative die portions then butt them together in the center, trimming if necessary.

Stamp the sentiment and cut it out with an oval then cut a gold oval frame. Make a pretty butterfly with whatever punch or die you have, add a rhinestone for the head.

Glue a multi-loop bow at the top and glue a few pearls to your card and it's done!

Elizabeth Craft Designs-Rose Gatefold

Hello there friends,

I love this lacey looking card.

Rose, Ornamental Frame, Florals 32, Bohemian Rose, Bohemian Rose Sentiments, 

Soft Finish Cardstock

Card size is 5 X 7".  To make this gatefold card, start with a 7 X 10" piece of white cardstock. Score 10" side at 2 1/2", 7 1/2".  Fold both sides in toward the center.  Use the outer die to trace the corners and cut them to match the decorative die. Cut decorative die from white then cut it in half. Cut the center portion again, 2 times plain and 1 time with the decorative part as well.  Cut the center once with foam or chipboard to create the nice closure with the flowers on top.  The rest is simple to complete.

Stamp sentiment on one of the plain center pieces for the inside of card.

Elizabeth Craft Designs-Gatefold

 Hello friends!

Today I'm sharing a gatefold card.  I used the Fitted Indented Rectangles to make a shaped window in my "gate".

Use the largest rectangle to make the base out of white, cardstock will be folded in the gatefold style but just a fraction of an inch narrower than the die so that the edges do not cut.  Cut another front from pick with a smaller die in the center making a frame and run through the machine with flower embossing folder then cut down the center to make 2 halves.  Cut the inside front with a smaller die and a smaller die yet inside making another frame then cut in half,  glue the smallest frame to the front. Glue on top of the small frame.  Cut a panel to fit inside card and glue it down.  Use one of the smaller rectangles for the sentiment, die cut then pop up.  Now decorate with flowers and leaves.

Elizabeth Craft Designs-Love Birds

 Hello crafting friends!!

Today we have some cute love birds.  This could be for an Anniversary or a new baby, maybe even a wedding gift card.

Festive Robins, Bohemian Rose Sentiments, Festive Ornate Frame, Rose Companion Flower,

Soft Finish Cardstock, Diagonal Stitched Fishtails, Bohemian Rose Paper

Make the card base by folding a piece of white cardstock, 4" X 9", in half.  Place the die so that about 1/2" of the die hangs over the folded edge and then die cut.  Fold one of the halves in half again then die cut another full front from white.  Glue the front to the side that was folded half but just on the bottom half. (I close the card base fully to do this, place the full front on top to line it up exactly then put glue at the bottom only up to the fold line). Now cut out decorative paper and decorative die cuts trimming as needed (at the inside top portion).

Birds, flowers and leaves colored with brushes and Oxide ink.
