DRU - Happy Frames

Hello crafty friends,

Mary here today showcasing the Happy Frame by Elizabeth Craft Designs ECD-1499. 


The die cuts one of four panels/sides needed to form an 8x8 inch square frame.  You can control the size of your finished frame by trimming 4 or 2 of the die cut panels ends' off  to form a square or rectangle.  I go into detail on how to do on the video below, as well as showing you how to assemble the frame.


I created three double sided glitter card stock die cut stars and added them into my happy shaker frame, but I still have room to add a gift card for a graduate... the slim frame would be a great size for a fun way to give money.  The 8x8 frame would be the perfect romantic gift with a photo of a beach at sunset w/a promise of a trip there soon. 

As promised, here are several options for stitched rectangle dies sets.

DRU - Poppies

Hello crafty friends,

Are you a fan of poppies?  I'm a little obsessed with them lately and recently picked up the Elizabeth Craft Designs Lacy Poppies die set and Lawn Fawn Pretty Poppies die set.  I'll showcase the Pretty Poppies in a future post, focusing on the Lacy Poppies in this post, along with the Poppystamps Grand Watering Can and the Paper Smooches Foliage 2 die sets... alternative leave die would be the Laurel Leaves, because I think the tall poppies need a tall leave.  Looking at the card now, as I write this, I feel the leaves I used are not tall enough.  Let me know what you think or if you have a better leaf die suggestion.


Check out the video below to see how this card came together.  I would greatly appreciate you considering subscribing to my YouTube channel.  Thanks :)


Bonus card, because you can't make a poppy card without making some of them red!


Black and white pattern background paper with die cut red lacy poppies make for a very happy card.
