Hope You’re Feeling Better Eucalyptus | by Crystal Komara

Hello Birch Press Design readers! This is Design Team member Crystal Komara sharing a CAS (Clean and Simple) card with you today featuring the new Eucalyptus Stem and Berries Contour Layering dies. Because I intended for this card to be very simple, I wanted to create a card without using the layering part of the dies, so here is what the dies look like quite simply on their own when cut from a rainbow array of cardstock. Add a gold heat embossed sentiment (any message will do!) and you have an elegant and easy card in no time flat!

Card details:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock. I cut a 5 1/4 x 4″ piece of this same cardstock as the first layer. On that layer I stamped the sentiment “hope you’re feeling better” in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. This sentiment is from the Classic Sentimental Wreath stamp set.

Using the Eucalyptus stems, I cut multiple stems from colored cardstock. I used the following 6″ paper packs:

-Lush Green

-Sunny Orange

-Berry Red

-Ocean Blue

I adhered the stems directly to the center of the card and then I added a small white ribbon at the base of the stems for added texture.
