Christmas 2020 Dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs!

Flourishes and Foliage! Meet the 2020 Quietfire Christmas dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  They are available to store owners today and to individuals online at Elizabeth Craft Designs next week.

I'm so excited to share my brand new dies with you!  They are soooo versatile. You'll be able to mix and match and combine to your heart's content.  They can be combined with all the other Quietfire Design A Way With Words Christmas dies, too!

First is the Create a Wreath set which has holly leaves, pine branches, broad leaves and twigs as well as the berries.  Not only can you create the full wreath, you can make single type wreaths such as all holly, or all twig wreaths! How cool is that?  Included is a fun calligraphic bow you can use on all types of projects!

 

 

Next are the Christmas Accents. This set includes two smaller sized poinsettias which you can use as a feature in your projects or as an accent.  This set has two pine cones, one larger and one smaller.  Use them as a feature or an accent.  And of course, use them with the Create a Wreath dies, too!! 

We have a fun new set of Flourished Christmas Minis!  These are designed to fit inside the Love Joy Peace Christmas Ornament, but can be used on their own! There is a flourished gingerbread man, a flourished candy cane and a flourished gift. Combine them with the Create a Wreath dies and/or the Christmas Accents.  (Keep in mind, the gift doesn't need to be used for Christmas!)

 

 

Now here is a fun beauty!  The Flourished Christmas Tree. You can use this in so many way depending on how much you cut!  It comes with the star and ball ornaments. 

And what would an A Way With Words release be without a flourished word (or two!)?  Here is a new version of Merry Christmas, called Merry Christmas 4, which is surrounded in calligraphic flourishes and comes with a separate snowflake.

Make sure you keep tuned to this blog and our Facebook Page where you'll see lots more in the next few weeks!

I hope you love them as much as we do!
Thanks for dropping in.  Happy creating, Suzanne

Welcome Spring!

Today I'm sharing a project for the Elizabeth Craft Designs Group Challenge.  The theme is spring and flowers!  Spring has arrived with a blaze of sunlight this week - but it's been unseasonably cold here on the west coast, so I pulled out the spring colours and had some fun.

Here is what I used to make this fast and easy, but still elegant, card:

Supplies:
A Way With Words

• Rosebud Wreath and Elements  Quietfire | ECD
• Welcome  Quietfire | ECD
• 4 Seasons (Spring)  Quietfire | ECD

Soft Finish Cardstock 100lb White  ECD

Other items:
Ranger Distress Ink: Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey, Bundled Sage
Ranger Ink Blending Tool
Glue Dots
Kool Tak Clear Foam adhesive

Instructions:

1. Form a 6 x 6" tent fold card base from white cardstock. Die cut the Rosebud Wreath and backing pieces as well as Welcome and Spring from white cardstock.
2. Blend Worn Lipstick and Wild Honey on the small flower backing pieces and adhere to back of wreath.  Mount wreath on card base with clear foam adhesive as shown.
3. Blend Bundled Sage on the Spring diecut leaving more colour at the top of the word.
4. Blend Worn Lipstick and Wild Honey on the Welcome diecut leaving more colour at the top of the word.
5. Adhere Welcome and Spring to the inside of the wreath using Glue Dots.  Designer Tip: Slightly roll the Glue Dots if they are too large.

Thanks for visiting!  Please feel free to ask any questions.  Happy spring!

Happy Family Days & Memory Box Wreaths

If you're like me, you're charmed by many of the Memory Box Wreath dies.  You will remember Joy Hauck, our February guest designer, made beautiful use of the Starry Wreath with her birthday card.

But a lot of you might not have seen this stunning Mother's Day card Joy made, again using one of the Memory Box wreath dies. For this card Joy used the Catalina Wreath die.
Inspiring, isn't it?!

Check out our new selection of Memory Box dies.  We're pretty sure you'll be charmed, too!
