  Hello everyone and welcome to the March 2021 Edition of the Crafty Elves' Countdown to Christmas!  It's the 25th of the month and time for the Crafty Elves...me, Debra ( Meticulosity ), and Lisa ( Life of a BZscrapper ), to show you our 4 amazing Christmas/Holiday cards for the month.  My cards are super simple to make and they can all be made in less than 15 minutes. Here is a video that also shows a quick look at the 4 cards because a photo is not always as good as a video. Card No. 1 I found this stamp set - Sketches Scrollwork Christmas from Inkadinkado - in my stash and realized how simple, but classy, a card can be made with it.    I made a top-folding A2 card base of red cardstock. I die cut two pieces of white cardstock using a stitched rectangle die.  One I adhered inside the card. On the other, I stamped the sentiment and then the holly/berries wreath images. I colored them in using only Rambunctious Red and Key Lime BIC Intensity Ultra Fine Ti...

Hello everyone.  The Design Team for Anthony's Paper Craft Design Team went with an Easter this month for our group post.  Anthony's website has been completely redone and he is now selling more than just his stamps online.  You can now get papers, glues, embellishments, pens, markers, cardstock and a ton of other things.  Now, on to my card for the month. Links to the other Design Team Members' cards are at the end of this post. To make my card I needed Easter(ish) papers, of which I had none.  So I looked through my stash and came across the It's Your Birthday - Girl paper pad from Echo Park .  Several of the designs in this pad are perfect for Easter.   I made a top-folding A2 card base to which I adhered the dark pink paper to the card front.  Then I used a stitched rectangle die to cut a piece of the plaid design, which I then adhered to the card front. I cut a piece of white cardstock, 1.75" x 5.25", and stamped the various eggs from ...

  Hello everyone and welcome to my Anthony's Paper Craft Design Team project for March.  This month we have 2 themes - spring flowers and Easter.  For our individual weekly projects we used the "single flower" images from Anthony and, for our group post on the 15th, it's all about Easter!  For my individual project, I wanted to use this MDF coffee mug from my stash with some of the flowers popping out.   Although this mug is from here, there are a lot of companies making chipboard or MDF pieces and there are also "coffee mug" dies out there if you wanted to recreate this idea. I started with a card base 5.5" square to which I adhered a piece of decorative paper, cut 5.25" square, from the Color Wash pad by Pink Paislee (a gift from my friend Debra).  I also cut a piece of white cardstock that I adhered to the inside.     Next, I stamped the Daylilies   and Gladiolus images from Anthony's Paper Craft   on white cardstock....
