Hi everyone welcome to the Bloom Wildly debut from Elizabeth Craft Designs

I created a shadowbox style card using Festive Holly paper collection. I took the oval die and used it to create the frame for the front of the card.

I then used the Blackfoot Daisy to make my floral arrangement along the outer edge of the oval window fame. Followed with some floral greenery and sparrow/butterflies

Foiled Shaker Card

2025-10-13T08:00:00.043-04:00

If you love combining shimmer, texture, and a touch of movement in your handmade cards, this project is for you! Today I’m sharing an elegant foiled shaker card created with beautiful Elizabeth Craft Designs products — a perfect blend of holiday sparkle and timeless charm.

🌟 Inspiration

For this project, I wanted to capture that warm, nostalgic holiday feeling — glistening gold foil, festive poinsettias, and a sweet winter bird surrounded by lush greenery. The design balances elegance and coziness, making it a standout piece for gifting or display.

💌 How to Make It

Create the Foiled Frame:

Die-cut your intricate frame using Elizabeth Craft Designs dies and metallic gold foil cardstock. This becomes the focal layer of your card.
Build the Shaker Window:
Cut an opening behind the frame and adhere a piece of acetate. Add foam tape around the window edges and fill it with sequins or microbeads before sealing it with a background panel.
Add Your Centerpiece:
Layer your decorative image — like this sweet robin perched among poinsettias — to the center of the card for a festive, heartwarming touch.
Finish with Florals & Details:
Add handmade flowers and leafy die cuts for extra texture. A few gems or pearls enhance the foiled shine beautifully.

🎀 Pro Tip

Use double-sided adhesive sheets when cutting delicate foiled dies — it keeps the edges clean and ensures a seamless application without visible glue marks.

💛 Final Thoughts

This card glows with elegance and joy — from the gold foil shimmer to the playful shaker sparkle. Whether you display it or gift it, it’s sure to bring a little luxury to the holiday season.

Hello everyone today I am sharing some Christmas ornaments I made using Designs by Angelica Turner for Elizabeth Craft Designs using products from the Festive Holly collection.

To create the larger ornament I cut a total of 10 pieces of red foil paper and glued them together

For the smaller ornament I cut a total of 8 pieces of red and green foil paper.

I used the snowflakes die and cut a total of 8 and glued them back-back once I added a piece of white thread to hold them. So they would dangle from the bottom of the ornament.
