Happy Friday! Today I have a card to share with you featuring the Let Your Dreams Set Sail stamp set.
With warmer temperatures finally here, I was inspired to create a nautical scene with rich summer colors.
For the background, I die cut the Waves Plate A die out of white cardstock. I lightly sponged some teal ink to the middle of the waves layer.
I sponged the card base with yellow and teal inks, creating a sunny water scene. Before adhering the waves die cut layer onto the card base, I sprayed some adhesive onto the bottom third of the die cut and sprinkled on some glitter.
Hello! I’m so happy to be here today, and I’ve made a cheerful watermelon gift tag for today’s project.
I used the layers A, B, and C… but then added a staggered Layer A for some extra backing. The seeds are made from saving cutouts from black, sparkly paper.
Check out the video below for more information on how I made this tag!
Jeanne here today with three cards made with the Grace Layered Die set. I love the mandala inspired designs that have me thinking of India – exotic and beautiful.
I made three cards in rich royal colors with a hint of gold. I was thinking of peacock colors – blues, greens and yellows. These dies are gorgeous, but where they really get interesting is in their versatility. If you look close you’ll see there are two circles inside the panel that are removable.
So you can switch out the ring with a different color..
Or the ring and the center circle. But it doesn’t have to stop there. The center ring can be switched out for the other circular shapes in the new release like Bali, Kaleidoscope, Adi, Prem or Viva. You can also use the center circles without the panel background. There’s lots of choices!
Today I just stuck with my three color choices and mixed up the rings and center circles to create these three cards.
The three die cut word sentiments in white are the new Big Sugar Script and they have outline dies. They’re bold enough to stand up to the intricate background dies. The stamped sentiments are from Just Because and Wishing You The Best clear stamp sets.
Imagine all the possibilities the flexibility of this release provides! Each card is unique and one of a kind with your choice of dies and colors!
Finished Size 4.25 x 5.5″

Happy Friday and welcome back for another inspiration post. Today I am using the fabulous new Waves Plate to create a masculine birthday card. Design team member Jeanne touched on this a few weeks ago, but it is always a bit more challenging to create cards that are suitable for the men in our lives. The Waves Plate craft dies and the new Let Your Light Shine clear stamp set are just perfect for creating cards with a more masculine feel but at the same time equally as perfect for a woman.
I took a bit different spin with the dies today by creating a smooshed backdrop for the Waves Plate Die A from Distress Oxide inks. The beauty of the plate dies is that they are wonderful stacked together providing so much dimension, but they each have their own character and can be used on their own like I did here today. I have a short video for you demonstrating how I smooshing my background and put my card together. I hope you enjoy…
I combined stamps and die cuts from the Let Your Light Shine clear stamp set and the Wishing You The Best clear stamp sets for my card. I did a little bit of stamp surgery by cutting (yes I said cutting) a couple of the sentiments in Wishing You The Best apart being careful to cut between the letters. The original sentiments can still be stamped out quite easily because the two sides of the cut fit right back together.
Here is a more detailed look at the lighthouse. I coloured it just the way I remember the lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia, Canada. Built on the rocks, all white with a red lookout at the top.
Here is another look at the card
I hope you enjoyed today’s post and are considering all the possibilities with the Waves Plate Dies and new nautical clear stamp sets.
Thanks to everyone who joined us for our first Instagram Hop! We had lots of fun and hope to do another one soon! Congratulations to the winners @ggnursecreations and @grammylovesherboys!
Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I’ll be using the brand new Adi Layer Dies along with the Big Hugs Sugar Script Dies to create a fun layered background card. I’ll be covering the entire background with the Adi Layer Dies and popping up the centre to give more dimension and some more interest to a quite simple background.
To begin my card today, I first pulled out some colours of cardstock. I used a colour scheme from Pinterest and pulled from there. I used a pink, aqua and yellow for my Adi Layers and then a grey and white for the sentiment. I cut each layer of the die from the same colour of cardstock, so then I could layer them all up and get different colour combinations. While I had my die cutting machine out, I cut the Hugs die from the grey and white cardstock, too.
Now that all my layers were cut out, I used some liquid glue to adhere them all together. Once they were put together, I adhered them onto a white card base, cut off the excess and repurposed it around the other edges of my card where there was white space.
When you die cut the Adi Layers, you’ll actually get five pieces. Three main circle pieces and two ‘flower’ shaped pieces that are supposed to go behind your dies to create the full effect. I decided to take those and adhere them over top. So I used some foam tape and adhered them over top of the coordinating Adi Layers.
Lastly, I needed to adhere my Hugs sentiment. I used more foam tape and adhered it onto the centre of my card.
That finished up my card for today, I hope you enjoyed. The video is linked down below if you’d like to watch.
Thanks so much for stopping by. The supplies I used are listed below and I’ll catch you all next time.

Hello! Welcome to Day 6 of the Blog Blitz! Today my project features the Bali set, along with the “Wishing” sugar script that has been cut down to say “Hi.”
All three layers were used for the outside of the Bali, but the inside used only Layers B and C, along with the Mandala Circle Base. The center flowers from negative space cut-outs were stacked for the center, with a jewel on top.
I loved adding the different sparkle gems to the centers of negative spaces, but it also looks good left without the bling. Here is an example of leaving it plain.
Check out the video here:

The prize at this stop is the fabulous Prem Layer A die! Just comment on this post for a chance to win it!
This is the project that I have created using Prem and Kessa Arch layering sets plus the sentiments from Let Your Light Shine stamp set – a kind of an abstract sunrise scene all in white and blue. The card was greatly inspired by my favorite blue and white china patterns.
Although this card is quite multi-layered it’s totally mailing friendly and can be sent in a standard A2 envelope.

Hi everyone and welcome, Eloise here and today is Day Four of the Blog Blitz and I’m so excited to be sharing my project with you today. Each day until the 6th of May, the designers for Birch Press Design will be sharing projects using the brand new release. There will also be a giveaway every day the Blog Blitz goes on, so make sure you read below to see how you can enter to win. For my project today, I’ll be using the Sparkler Butterfly A and D Dies along with the Thanks Sugar Script Dies to create a thank you card.
To colour in my butterfly layers, I’ll be using my Mijello Misson Gold Watercolour palette and colouring each of my layers with two shades of the same colour. I coloured in a pink/red butterfly, a yellow/orange butterfly and a green butterfly. I did the A layer darker than the D layer, just for a little contrast. Once all my layers were coloured, I dried them with my heat tool. For my ‘Thanks‘ sentiment, I used a blue colour and water-coloured the bottom of the word and faded it up to white. I dried that also and set them off to the side.
Next, I took a piece of white cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot Machine with a Dotted Embossing Folder from We R Memory Keepers. Now that all my elements are ready, I can assemble my card. I used some foam squares to adhere the base of my butterflies to my card panel. I then used Multi Medium Matte adhesive to adhere my butterfly layers together. I set them off to the side to dry, then I used some foam tape on the back of the ‘Thanks‘ word and adhered it to a thin black strip of cardstock. I then used some detail scissors and cut v shapes at the end of each side. I added more foam tape to the back of my sentiment strip and adhered it to the centre of my middle butterfly. To finish off, I adhered my panel to a card base and that was my card completed.
Thanks so much for stopping by today, the video is linked down below for you all.
Now onto the giveaway details. The prize today is the Sparkler Butterfly A Die, like the one I used in my project pictured above. It works so well with all the layers, but even on it’s own. It’s super versatile and would be a great addition to your collection. The Blog Blitz is running from the 1st of May to the 6th of May. To be entered into this giveaway and all the others, make sure you leave a comment on the blog post. You have until Midnight US EST May 10 to comment and the winners will be announced on May 13. Good luck! Also, be sure to check by the Birch Press Design’s Instagram on May 7th. We will be having a Instagram Hop and there will be another giveaway so be sure to follow and hop along on that also.
