Boys & Toys Scrapbook Page with ECD!

Hi, it’s Angela and today I want to share with you a fun & easy scrapbook page that can be created with the tag die from Elizabeth Craft Designs. My friend Nicole created this super cute boy layout. It has a waterfall of tags with pictures of her son Caden enjoying his ATV. Let me share with you how she created this great page!

 

 

 

Waterfall:

 

*Die cut out the number of tags for the waterfall, all tags need to be the same length, then score at 1/2” on straight edge

*Apply 6 mm ECD double sided tape to each scored edge and remove the liner and apply the first tag on the page and then line up the next one under the first butting the scored edges next to one another to create a waterfall effect on the page front.

*Continue to add tags the length you want, then the last one can be used as a visible photo mat or to show patterned paper as Nicole did.

*As a finishing touch, die cut hexagon cut from shimmer sheetz were added to the holes in the tags

 

Embellishing the page:

 

*Die cut from the new ribbon & jewels die, a metallic element was added at the bottom of the page that looks like a chain

 

 

*Using the metallic shimmer sheetz, gears were die cut and added to the page

*Take a toy car and “drive” it through an ink pad to create the tire tracks on the page

 

 

*A metallic clip was also die cut and added to the top of the waterfall

 

 

*a wooden “boys & toys” was added to the page

 

For fun, I am adding a photo of what the table looks like when Nicole, Darcy & I get together to create! We have dies, shimmer sheetz, glitter, paper, Big Shots and adhesive everywhere! Call your friends, invite them over and create something together. Scrapbooking is a great way to enjoy  spending time with your friends. And I am always the most creative when I am around creative friends! I hope you give this technique a try!

Halloween Fun With Elizabeth Craft Designs

Hi, it’s Angela and I am so excited to share this project with you. My friend Nicole created a festive Halloween project featuring pull out tags. Let me share with how she created the project using Elizabeth Craft Designs dies, peel-off stickers and glitter.

photo a

*A piece of cardstock 17 1/4 x 11 1/2  was scored to create four panels, pockets & a flap

*Inside view of the book with the tags in the pockets

*Four pieces of pattern paper were cut to decorate the back of the book

*Letter & numbers were die cut from black cardstock to create the front title of the book “October 31st” and it was glued on the front cover

*A pumpkin peel-off was placed on double sided adhesive, glittered with diamond glitter, burnished, then colored with copic markers and the cut out

*A magnet was placed between the pumpkin and black cardstock circle to create a magnetic closure for the book front

*Panel # 1 has a pattern paper tag that has been scored twice and it creates a pull down tag which was decorated with a stamp image and metal skeleton

*The tag has a journal spot and pictures placed

*Panel # 2  and panel # 3 have tags folded once and google eyes and photos were used to decorate the tags

*Inside the book was decorated with patterned paper behind the pockets and on panel #4, a patterned tag was placed on the pocket front

*Four back cardstock tags were die cut from assorted tag dies

*The cardstock tags for the pockets were decorated with photos of the kids in costumes and ECD double sided tape was applied to the tags and then  ECD silk micro fine glitter was applied and burnished in

*On the other two tags, glitter was applied and ribbon was placed on all tags

*The names of each child were die cut and glued to the tag back along with photos

*The positive and negative images from the alphabet dies were used to create “Brody’s” name and a gold metallic marker was used to write “My boys 2013”

Nicole did a wonderful job on this cute tag book! Creating one is easy and fun to decorate and embellish. Pull out your photos, dies & glitter and make a tag book keepsake for yourself!

Retirement Gift Bag & Tag

 

Hi, today I want to share with you a gift bag that I created using the fun peel-off stickers from Elizabeth Crafts Designs and just a few other supplies! Let me share with you how I created this project.

 

 

The Bag:

 

*The gift bag was created using two sheets of 12 x 12 patterned paper.

*Choose a piece of beach themed paper for the bag front and mat on black cardstock. Adhere to the bag front.

 

 

Decorating the Bag:

 

*Die cut a black palm tree from the palm tree die.

*Apply the sunglass peel-off to a scrap of silver shimmer sheetz, and cut the glasses out.

*Adhere the sunglasses, the palm tree, the ship and the “congratulations” peel-off to the bag front.

*Punch two holes with the crop-a-dile and set eyelets and place jute cord through the holes for a handle, repeat for the back of the bag.

 

 

The Gift Tag:

 

*Die cut a tag from the Tags & More 3 die from kraft cardstock.

*From the beach pattern paper, die cut the beach edge of palm trees.

*Apply the flip flop peel-off to a piece of pink cardstock and cut out.

*Add the beach edge die cut to the tag front, add the flip flops and a “Happy Retirement” peel-off to complete the tag front.

*Set an eyelet with the crop-a-dile and tie with jute and pop dot the tag onto the front of the bag.

 

 

 

Add some coordinating tissue paper and voila’ your bag is finished. With the diversity of the peel-offs, you can create a gift bag for any occasion! I hope you try this fun and easy way to create with peel-offs!

Mini Album Fun with ECD

Hi, it’s Angela and I wanted to share what I created for the design team challenge using two BRAND NEW dies from ECD! The new flower dies are fantastic and they come in three graduating sizes. I love the new brick die and it is so versatile for creating cards or using it as an embellishment on the front of an album. I was inspired by the yellow and black theme of the paper collection to decorate my album with feminine touches to match the beautiful quote on the front of the album.

ALBUM FRONT:

*Die cut the brick die from black and white paper and glue the negative piece onto the album front.

*Die cut the brick die from yellow cardstock and glue the bricks and squares into the spaces on the black and white frame on the album front.

*From two different papers, die cut five flowers in all three sizes. Curl the petals, stack them, pierce the centers and set a black brad in each flower.

*Embellish the front as desired.

Baby Project on EC Blog

Hi, it’s Angela Beavers and I want to share a baby themed project with you. My little baby dresser was inspired by a project that Shelly Hickox shared on her blog. I love the little chest she created with a card on top. I decided to create a double stacked dresser which would make a perfect gift for the mother of a new baby. Let me share with you how I created mine.

 

*Before assembling, paint all of the chipboard & wooden feet with white paint.

 

*Cut eight drawers & covers from kraft chipboard and assemble using ECD tape. Apply pattern paper to each of the drawer fronts & sides. Tape four drawers together with two of the openings facing the front & two facing the back. Repeat this for the second set of drawers. Using a crop-a-dile, punch a hole in the drawer front. Add a decorative circle die cut from brown cardstock & place a hitch fastner in the hole for the knob. Do this for all eight drawers.

 

 

*Cut three pieces of chipboard at 6 x 5.50. Center the first set of drawers on top of the chipboard and attach using ECD tape. Attach the second chipboard piece & then the drawers and attach the third piece of chipboard to the top. Lay the dresser on its top and using glossy accents, glue on the wooden feet.

 

*Cut the brown mat for the top at 5.75 x 5.25 and the patterned paper at 5.50 x 5. Attach both using ECD tape. Create a card from white cardstock and die cut the word congratulations using the stand up helper die. Die cut the word a second time from brown cardstock and attached it over the white word to make it “pop”.

 

*Attach pattern paper to the card front. The duck was die cut and put on the card front. Use the party hat from Props 2 to create the banners. Die cut alpha letters to spell “B A B Y”. Small holes were punched in the banner and blue twine was strung through and the banner was placed on the card with pop dots.

 

*Pattern paper was added to the dresser sides & the back of the card. The card will lie flat or stay popped up when using the stand up helper.

 

 

I had a great time creating this baby dresser and I hope you are inspired to create your own project using a baby theme!
