Elizabeth Craft Designs July Group Post - Christmas In July

Happy Monday!

We are switching things up on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog this year and instead of having a designer challenge, we are having group posts each month. Each month the group post will have a theme and some or all of the design team members will participate. For July's theme it's all about Christmas in July - Your favourite Christmas Song! I have many favourite Christmas songs, so I settled on Home for the Holidays.

Even though I don't want to think about Christmas right now as it's 30 degrees outside as I write this blog post, it's hard to believe it's only 5 months away. For this month's group post, I created this fun From our home to yours card, perfect to give to use as your Christmas Card this year. To create my card, I've used dies from Joset Designs and patterned paper from ModaScrap. Grab your favourite beverage and read below as I have a tutorial for you so that you can re-create my card at home. You'll also want to make sure to stop by the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog to check out the rest of the team's projects. 


The next few steps are using the Christmas Door Die.

Choose a piece of patterned paper from the ModaScrap - Wood Effect Paper pack. Once the paper has been chosen, die cut the door out of the patterned paper. Ink the edges of the door using Hickory Smoke Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock, die cut the rectangle, top and bottom door frames and snow. Ink the edges of the rectangle and top & bottom door frame using Hickory Smoke Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. Ink the edges of the snow using Tumbles Glass Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Die cut the two wreaths and tree out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Forest Moss Distress ink over the entire surface of all of the pieces.


On a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock, blend Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink with a blending tool with foam. Die cut the circles and inside of the lamp out of the now coloured White Soft Finish Cardstock.


From a piece of black cardstock, die cut the lamp, door handle and plant pot. 


From a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock, die cut the tree base out. Using a blending tool with foam, blend Vintage Photo Distress Ink over the entire surface.


On a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock, blend Candied Apple Distress Ink with a blending tool with foam. Die cut the bow and ribbon out of the now coloured White Soft Finish Cardstock.


From the Fitted Indented Rectangle, die cut the 3 3/4" rectangle out of grey cardstock. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Hickory Smoke Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Foam square the white rectangle piece to the middle of the indented rectangle. Adhere the door to the middle of the white rectangle.


Foam square one of the door frame caps to the top of the door. Foam square the other door frame cap to the bottom of the door. Adhere two of the snow pieces to the top of the door frame. Adhere the other two snow pieces to the bottom of the door frame.


Adhere the yellow light piece inbehind the black lamp. Adhere the lamp to the top left side of the door. Adhere the door handle to the door.


Adhere the tree together. Adhere the tree to the pot. Adhere the potted tree to the right of the door, so that the tree hangs over the white rectangle.


Adhere the wreath together as desired. Foam square the wreath to the middle of the door.


Apply Hickory Smoke Distress Ink to the "From our home" sentiment off the Joyful Wishes stamp set and stamp on the bottom portion of the door cap. To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 5 1/4" x 8", score at 4". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.


Here are a few closeups of the card.

Planner Post #2 - July Week #2 Planner Spread

Happy Thursday! Today, I'm sharing last week's planner spread from inside my planner.  To create my planner spread, I've used a variety of the dies from the Planner Essentials line. You'll want to read below to learn how to recreate my July Week #2 Planner Spread at home.


To start, die cut the planner page from the Planner Essentials - 10 die out of White Soft Finish Cardstock, this will be the right hand page. Die cut the planner page from the Planner Essentials - 1 die out of White Soft Finish Cardstock, this will be the left hand page. 
Put the two pages side by side and sprinkle Magenta Nuance powder in Raspberry, Hot Pink and Aquamarine. Spritz the powder with water. Once the pages have dried, apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the number stamp from the Patterns 1 stamp set and stamp randomly on the pages. Reapply ink as needed to the stamp. On the left hand page, you will stamp six number sets and on the right hand page, you will stamp eight number sets. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the July Month and stamp onto the tab on the left hand page. 
Using a blending tool with foam, ink the edges of both pages using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Planner Elements die, die cut two of the flower borders out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Cut each piece down to fit the bottom of each page.


From the same die, die cut the square bunch twice out of black cardstock.


From the Planner Essentials - 1 die, die cut the reinforcement circles twice out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.


From the Planner Labels die, choose two labels. Die cut one label three times out of kraft cardstock. Die cut the other label four times out of kraft cardstock. Stamp the day of the week on each label using Jet Black Archival Ink. Fill in each label using a black gel pen. Ink the edges of each label using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Adhere one of the square bunches on the left hand page and adhere the other square bunch on the right hand page. Adhere one of the flower borders at the bottom of the left page and the right page.


Adhere a reinforcement circle over top of each circle on the planner page.


To finish off the planner spread, foam square Monday to Wednesday on the left hand page and foam square Thursday to Sunday on the right hand page.


Here are a few closeup photos of the finished planner spread.
