Hello Everyone!
I am back with another project, but this time I am going to use their Circle Burst stencil! I knew when I saw this stencil, there were going to be a lot of big and shiny balloons to celebrate a birthday!
Grabbed three of my distress oxide inks in spiced marmalade, worn lipstick and peacock feathers and my distress blending brushes and got my card stock panel ready for my stencil.
I made sure I taped my panel down so it would not shift while I was applying my ink through the stencil. Using my blending brushes I made sure I always went in the same direction which provided a shadow along one side of my balloons. Make sure they overlap to give a sense of the center balloon is in front of the other two!
I pulled out my black fine liner pen and added my strings and bows to my balloons and a highlight mark with my white gel pen!
For my sentiment I used the Birthday Sugar Script die. This is a great large and bold sentiment to help the celebration shine! I used black card stock for the background die and a shimmer card stock for the sentiment itself!
I popped my sentiment up using my double-sided foam tape and placed along the bottom edge of my card design with enough space to set my other two sentiments above and below to finish my wish!
I used my liquid adhesive to secure my panel to my standard A2 size top folding card base (4 1/4 inch x 5 1/2 inch).

I hope you enjoyed today’s project… Make sure you stay tuned for more wonderful projects coming soon! Have a great day and always remember… Be Creative!

It’s New Year’s Eve! I hope you’re rested and ready to stay up late to ring in 2019! Today I’m playing with the Petal Burst Stencil from the store because the finished card reminds me of a firework!
I started by cutting a panel of white card stock the same size as the stencil (6×6″). I adhered the panel to my glass craft mat with double sided tape. Then I taped the stencil over the panel with removable wash tape and inked Candied Apple in all four openings. Next I wiped the stencil with a cloth to remove any excess ink, rotated the stencil, adhered it in place and inked the Spiced Pumpkin.
The stencil has marks etched into the plastic to help you align each turn of the petals.
When all the layers were inked and dried I cut the panel to 5″ square and adhered it to a 5.25″ square card base.
Wishing you a healthy and happy 2019! And in case you missed it..
Better hurry! Today is the last day of our After Christmas Sale!
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.
