Hello Everyone!
Let’s layer some cardstock together! I am just amazed at how this looks on a card… It is coming out of the card or going in, it does not matter, it is just beautiful, RIGHT?
So let’s make one together! You want to first chose your cardstock so you can see just how the colors will look together. I chose to stay in a cool tone and chose a dark blue and then two shades of purple. I made my card base ivory, so the colors would not be so bright. Ivory will help to tone them down.
Next let’s get out our die cutting machine and let’s go to town! You want to make sure you have matched up the card stock with the proper die! And while we are there let’s cut out our sentiment to get it ready as well! With this die you will have a total of 6 pieces, 2 for each color. You will have the outer ring and then the center circle… What is great is you can decide which piece you want to use for your card! Of course, I chose EVERYTHING! LOL
I used a liquid glue to adhere all my focal pieces together and set it aside under an acrylic block to make sure they adhered together! While that is drying let’s work on our sentiment. I chose the Best Friend Clear Stamp Set along with the Big Best Sugar Script Die Set.
I die cut my background of my sentiment our of the same dark blue card stock used previously and an ivory for ‘best’. Now it really does not matter which color you make this since we will be using our embossing powder to completely cover it! Yup that’s right, pull out your clear embossing ink and over that die cut! Cover it with your embossing powder of choice. I chose Liquid Platinum. Heat set and repeat! I actually did this process twice so I could get the look of metal for my sentiment. I stamped my top portion of my sentiment on a piece of scrap dark blue card stock and heat embossed that as well in Liquid Platinum.
Once everything is dry its time to put our card together! I pulled out a Standard A2 size card base and placed my Splash Die cut in the upper left-hand corner again placing an acrylic block to make sure it stays secured to my card. I then grabbed my sentiments and positioned them down in the bottom-right hand corner. I placed the larger sentiment first and then layered the smaller just above.
But I also wanted to add a sentiment on the inside. I chose “Friend”. I thought it kinda completed the thought of the card.

Welcome back for another inspiration post at Birch Press Design. Today I will be creating a card using the new 
The Ludlow Triangle craft die cuts all the detail of the die but does not does not cut the outer edges of the die. For my card today I wanted to cut the die so that all the lovely detail would sit in the corner of my ombre ink blended panel. I did this by cutting the die in the bottom corner of a piece of black cardstock and then trimming it off with my cutter. Let’s have a look…
The Big Wishing Sugar Script die set will cut both a sentiment and a shadow for when you want to add extra depth to the design. The sentiment from 
The ombre background really showcases the elegance of the Ludlow Triangle’s design.
Thanks so much for coming by today and I hope I’ve inspired you to do something creative today. See you again next week and have a wonderful weekend.
I started by cutting the Aurora B die from a panel of card stock. I didn’t want it to cut all the way through. I wanted to create an outline of the die on the card panel that I could color. I added some clear packing tape to the back of my card stock panel before cutting the die on the front of the panel. The packing tape helps keep the die together so no pieces fall out.
Fill in the die cut openings with Glossy Accents. I used a needle to move it around and get into all the corners. It’s also convenient for breaking any bubbles you might see. This is a time consuming technique but the shine is worth it. TIP: Use a die cut with large openings to make this process easier. I chose the Aurora die for this reason.
I only applied glossy accents to the outer rings and the center circle. When the glossy accents is dry add a die cut Aurora Layer A die cut to the design. 
Finished Size 4.25 x 5.5″
