Happy Holidays everyone! It’s Justine here for my last holiday card of the season featuring an awesome Distress Oxide galaxy background technique. When I received the Nativity Star die I was absolutely blown away by its elegance and beauty that I had to play around with a fun background technique to suit it.
I used yellow, orange, pink, purple, green, navy and black ink in order to create the background. I used a really great and subtly cardstock layer combination as well – gold, silver, white glitter and vellum.
I paired the card with the Simple Joy sentiment that I love so much die cut using silver and gold cardstock. I love how the imprints of the joy make lining up the letters so easy!

Hi there, it’s Tracey back today with some more inspiration using Birch Press Design craft dies. There is something magical about snowflakes and even more magical when you combine them with some sparkle.
To create this card I die cut the 
The background was created by blending some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink on to a 5 1/4″ X 4″ piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and then the panel was splattered with Copic Opaque White. Once it was dry I stamped the sentiment from the 
The snowflake was assembled right on the panel by first adhering the larger white snowflake to the centre over the sentiment and then the thin silver snowflake with inlaid into it. Lots of pretty sparkle and the blue ink blending behind it creates a very dreamy looking snowy scene.
The panel was attached to the card base using some foam tape for dimension.
Using sparkle cardstock with any of the Birch Press Design craft dies adds a special touch to your cards. Look at how pretty the snowflake is with two shades of sparkle cardstock.
Have another look at how pretty the card is.
Thank you so much for creating with me today to create a pretty card. Dig out your dies and give this technique a try. Have a wonderful day.
Hello Everyone!
Welcome back for another day of Birch Press Inspiration. As the countdown to Christmas has already begun I still have a few cards to make. The 
I simply chose three shades of green cardstock and cut them with the Tall Tree dies. I think I spent more time choosing which layer would be which colour than it took to actually create the tree!
I created a red front for my card base and then added a white panel over it for my tree. The base was the largest die cut triangle, I adhered that to the card front directly. Then I adhered the remaining three layers using foam tape to give the completed tree dimension. The numbers were from the new 
With the layers you can make multiple cards in no time.
I stamped two sentiments from the 
Just two craft die sets I as able to create today’s card. You can get creative with so many colours.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope that I have inspired you to make some cards using just a couple set of craft dies! Have a wonderful day getting creative.
Have you checked out the new releases in the store? You’re going to love all the new products including dies, stamps and STENCILS! Today I’m sharing a card made with the new Stargazer die!
When I saw it for the first time I kept seeing a color wheel! I couldn’t wait to start playing with it so add lots of beautiful colors!
I started by cutting the Stargazer Layer A from white card stock and adhering it to the Stargazer Layer C die cut.
Next I flipped it over and added double sided adhesive foam tape to the back.
Next I inserted colorful die cut card stock pieces inside the openings. The adhesive foam tape provides some hold but you will still need to add glue over the white card stock to hold the cuts in place. The tape gives you a steady surface to adhere to and allows you to stick the finished Stargazer to your card base.
I embellished my card with enamel dots so you can see the added dimension from the foam. The dots are slid under the raised Stargazer die cut.
The center star cuts are in rainbow order with the outer circle filled with variations (lighter and darker shades) of the center colors.
The Simple Peace word die comes with an outline (cut from gold here) and a detailed (cut from white) word die cut. I love that I can stack the die cuts or just use the letters if I like.

Birch Press Design makes the most beautiful, innovative dies on the market. They’re layering dies make elegance easy. The focal point of my design – that gorgeous wreath – is actually five layers of colorful card stock. I cut the Layers A through D with ombre shades of green card stock. The base that the wreath sits on – the Mandala Circle Base – is cut from red card stock adding a pop of red to the green layers.
The Morning Cup die from Poppystamps is cut from gold foil and layered over ivory card stock. I decorated the cup with leaves left behind from cutting the wreaths. It reminds me of the Lenox Holiday Collection china. Don’ you just love that big dollop of whipped cream over the coffee/cocoa?
I love the different shades of green revealed through each layer of the die cut openings.
The background is a panel of aqua card stock topped with the largest Tall Triangle die cut from a lighter shade of aqua card stock. The Simple Joy word die includes a background die (cut from white) and the clean outline letters (cut from red). The background die is embossed so placing the skinny detailed letters is easy.

Hi there, it’s Tracey and welcome back for another inspiration post. Today I have the pleasure of introducing the brand new Birch Press Design 
I created the beautiful wreath mandala using three shades of green cardstock and one sheet of sparkle cardstock. Once I die cut all the pieces I separated the inside from the wreath to use to make a second project. These are the supplies that I used…
The wreath craft die set comes with four Layers (
I die cut the joy sentiment from the new Simple Joy craft die set using red cardstock. Classic Christmas colours that really pop off the clean white cardbase.
I set the assembled card aside and I glued the centers from layers A through D together, once again with liquid adhesive. I die cut a tag from the Poppystamps Stitched Main Street Tags and I adhered the tiny wreath on to the tag. Then I stamped Joy from the 
It is always fun to stretch your supplies and it was easy to create two projects at the same time. This would be a lovely duo for a Christmas present. A tag for the package and a card inside.
Thank you so much for joining me today! I am excited to share with you that I have a PRIZE for one lucky person on the
