Easter Carrot Boxes



I’ve been growing carrots in my craft room today! 🤣 🥕😍 Not any old carrots tho… these are carrot boxes designed by the lovely Joset Van De Burgt and of the course the flowers are from Angelica’s Wild Flower 2 set of dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs! 😍


Easter is almost here and this is for my Uncle, it’s filled full of his favourite Lindt eggs!
I have to be honest…. These came together so super quick and so easily too! I’ll be making more of these next year for sure!

Products used:
Foam paper for the flowers

Stitched with love.


Do you ever sit at your craft desk and have no idea what you are going to create? 
Yeah that was me today! BUT... as soon as I took out the Pretty Pastels paper pad and the Wild Flower3 die set from Elizabeth Craft Designs I just knew I was going to create something very different for me!

If you are looking for a quick card for weddings, anniversaries and valentine's day 
then this is a perfect card to create! 


 Directions:

1. Using the outer Hearts Cutouts die create an easel card base. Fold over the top piece in half and cut another of the heart die in white card and adhere to the card base.

2. Using the Pretty Pastels paper die cut two of the hearts in pale pink, distress the edges and using a black pen draw faux stitching around the hearts. Adhere to the card base.

3. Die cut flowers and leaves from the Pretty Pastels papers using the Wild Flower 3 dies and using a black pen add faux stitching.

4. Stamp the sentiment from Garden Party Elements onto the heart.

5. Adhere the flowers and leaves and gems and your card is complete.

Ok... here is the fun bit, instructions so you can create this gorgeous card too!

Directions:

  1. Cut a card base using the outer die from the Frames and Elements Die set. Use a fold piece of white card and place the die over so the fold is still intact, creating the card base.
  2. Using the same die cut two pieces one in white card and one a patterned piece from the Garden Party Paper Pad. Adhere the white die cut to the card base and then the patterned paper to that.
  3. Using the decorative die from the Frames and Elements Die cut two die cute. One in white card and one in gold. Adhere the white over the gold and offset slightly creating a drop shadow with the gold and adhere to the card base.
  4. Stamp the smaller frame image and a sentiment from the Garden Party Elements onto white card in black ink and die cut with the corresponding die from the Frames and Elements Die set. Add a 3D foam pad to the back in the top left corner and place to one side for now.
  5. Die cut using white card three of the flower dies. I used the individual dies (not the one with three flowers on) and used the smallest three sizes. Cut three pieces of card for each size.
  6. Colour the flowers using inks. I used Ranger Archival Buttercup and Vibrant Fuscia inks.
  7. Work on each flower individually. Spritz with water on the back and then shape with a flower shaping tool on the front. Using your fingers pinch in the tops of the petals. Adhere three of the same size flowers together, layering so that the petals interleave. Add stamens to the centres.
  8. Die cut three of the leaves in gold card and three of the curved leaves in white card. These are from the die set Greenery Fillers 1. Colour the white die cut leaves with green ink, I used Leaf Green.
  9. Die cut the bow from the Frames and Elements Die set and shade with ink. I used Forget Me Not and applied it very gently. When coloured glitter this die cut. 
  10. Adhere the leaves onto the card. You will need to cut them down as needed.
  11. Adhere the flowers onto the card and then cut the bow in half and adhere each half either side of the flowers.
  12. Lastly take the sentiment and adhere to the card on an angle tucked in the flowers.
