Hello, everyone! Toni here with you today sharing a white on white card for a throughly modern take on the classic wreath.
I cut out the Holly Wreath Plate Layer Set twice, adhering the resulting wreaths onto a woodgrain background.
I used Memory Box Open Studio Fairy Jewels as berries. These are self-adhesive but I used glue as well since I wasn’t adhering them to a solid surface.
I cut the BPD Find Joy out of black and mounted it on foam tape.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!
Hello, Birch Press Friends! I am happy to back with you today sharing another new product. I can’t stop making holiday cards, and the new Herbarium Layer Plates make it so easy to create stunning cards.
I used several shades of teal card stock for this card. Instead of using all of the layer plates, I used just the A Layer. I cut the A Layer out of both a regular piece of card stock and a piece of glitter card stock. I offset the glitter piece behind the regular piece and adhered them together with liquid glue. I then glued those to an A2 card base made from another color of teal card stock.
I took the glitter holly leaf shapes that were leftover from die cutting and placed them back into their spots, but I popped the tip of them up on foam dots to create some dimension. I covered the berry-shaped holes with some red Fairy Crystals.
I used the Big Joy Sugar Script die for the sentiment, cutting the shadow from the teal glitter card stock and the main word from white card stock. To bring in some more white, I added some white dots all over the design with a white paint pen.
Thank you so much for joining us today. I hope this card inspires you and brings a smile to your face!
Hello and welcome! Seeka here and today I’m sharing a Christmas card that features the Gilded Grace Inside and Outside stencil sets. If non-traditional holiday colors aren’t your style, swap out the sentiment to use these colors for another occasion, or swap out the colors!
I started off by stenciling the three bold outer layers in three shades of aqua. These layers are very easy to line up so this was very quick to do. Next, I stenciled the three lighter inner layers in similar shades of aqua. Then, I trimmed the panel to 4″ x 5.25″ inch and glued it to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of golden yellow cardstock.
For the sentiment, I cut the shadow layer of the Handwritten Merry Christmas And Outline die set from white cardstock and the detail layer from a piece of cardstock that I’d colored with the same aqua inks that I used for stenciling. I glued the pieces together and then used foam tape to adhere the sentiment to the center of the stencilled pattern. To finish, I glued the card front to a card base and embellished with clear Fairy Jewels.
Welcome back, friends! Dee here again sharing this vibrant, easy-to-recreate holiday card showcasing the Crochet Snowflakes layering dies!
To create the background, I used synthetic (Yupo) paper, alcohol ink, a blower, and blending solution. I chose three colors (coral, green, and blue) and used the blending solution and blower to create a background and once complete, I trimmed it down to A2 size.
Next, I die cut the Crochet Snowflakes layers A and C in white and silver glitter cardstock. I then adhered them together, slightly offset, then onto the center of the alcohol ink panel. To finish, I chose a precut sentiment strip from my stash and adhered it to the center!
I hope you enjoyed learning about today’s card and are inspired to get creative, too!
Welcome, crafty friends! Dee here today, sharing this fun and vibrant holiday card featuring the beautiful new Crochet Snowflake layer dies!
To begin, I cut the Crochet Snowflake layers A and B twice, once in white and once in silver glitter cardstock, and adhered them together.
Next, I sprayed white heavyweight cardstock with acrylic spray paint in vibrant multi-colors. Once dry, I die-cut the center with the Crochet Snowflake layer C. I adhered the panel onto a piece of white card stock and adhered the white and silver glitter layers on top of all. To finish, I added a sentiment strip from my stash and mounted the panel onto a top-folding card base.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card and are inspired to create something new! Thank you so much for joining me.
Hello and welcome! Seeka here and today I have a sunny and bright holiday card featuring the Snowy Circle Layer Set.
I started off by die cutting the three layers of the Snowy Circle set in two shades of aqua and a metallic silver. Some great cardstock options are in the Fresh Aqua and the Vintage Pastel Mirror 6×6 paper pads from Memory Box.
I glued the layers together and added some small silver bubble embellishments to the centers of the snowflakes.
Next, I created an 3″ x 4.25″ ink-blended panel using Picked Raspberry, Saltwater Taffy, and Wild Honey Distress Oxide inks.
To assemble the card, I glued the ink-blended panel to the center of an A2 card base and then glued the Snowy Circle onto the card front. To finish, I used foam tape to adhere a small holiday sentiment from my stash.
Hello crafty friends! I am excited to be back up on the Birch Press blog with you today! In today’s post I am going to share how I used several of the new holiday products to create Holiday gift tags! So let’s get started!
For today’s tags I am using 2 of the snowflake dies: Adornment Snowflake and Felicity Snowflakes. I started by die cutting each of these sets using white card stock and a blue from the Stormy Blue Collection ( Memory Box Paper Pad). I started with a lighter blue from the Stormy Blue collection for the base layer of each of the snowflakes. I then die cut the inner snowflake die using white card stock, as well as a darker shade of blue. Once everything was die cut, I adhered the inner layers of each snowflake together. For some I left white on the top, others were blue on top.
Next I embossed each of the inner snowflakes. I used a blue and a gold embossing powder. Once these were heat set, I adhered the embossed snowflakes to the shadow layer of each set (Adornment Snowflake and Felicity Snowflakes).
Next I created a watercolor background using mixed media paper, Lindy’s Magicals, as well as sprays. Once my backgrounds were dry, I die cut them into tags. Next I splattered the tags with both white and gold paint. I allowed these to dry. Once they were dry, I distressed the edges with a distress ink and then added embossing glaze to a few areas of the tags.
Once my tags and snowflakes were complete I chose 2 sentiments, both are from the latest Birch Press Designs release. For the larger tag, I die cut the Handwritten Merry Christmas and Outline sentiment. For the shadow layer, I die cut this using vellum. For the script I die cut it two times using white card stock, then a 3rd time using the Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad collection. I adhered the layers together using liquid glue. For the smaller tag, I used the beautiful Find Joy and Outline die set. I followed the same process as the previous sentiment. To complete the tags, I adhered the snowflakes and sentiments to the tag base and added twine from my stash. I added a few Fairy Drops as well to complete by tags.
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed these! I will see you soon!
What’s great about working with monochrome colors is that if blue isn’t your color, try recreating it in red, or purple or green. The options are endless!
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 the same white cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot using the Blooming 3D embossing folder from Memory Box. This embossed cardstock is the first layer of the card. I then used alternating pieces of cardstock from the 6″ x 6″ Ocean Blue paper pack. These strips measure 5 1/2″ x 1/4″. I used the same color cardstock to create the three layer Floral Star. I also added in a piece of glitter cardstock from the Twinkling Jewel Paper pack. I die cut Layer B from this glitter cardstock. I adhered all three layers of the Floral Star layering dies together with liquid glue.
I took a chance and cut the finished Floral Star in half hoping to make it the focal point of the card. I stamped “hello” in turquoise ink on a thin white strip of cardstock and placed it between the two halves of the Floral Star. I think it pulled the two halves together more cohesively.
I really like how this card came out, in fact, I think I’ll try it in a few other colors too!
Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
Happy Saturday! Birch Press recently had an amazing release of a lot of Christmas goodies, and I am so excited to be sharing a card using just a few of the new supplies with you today.
I created a card using the new Meridian Ornament layering set. As with all Birch Press supplies, this layering set is beautifully detailed.
I started by cutting out layers A, B and C with three different cardstocks. Layers A and C use cardstocks from the new Glitzy Glitter Pad, and the gold layer B uses a piece from the Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad.
Next, I took another new goody — the Herbarium Plate layering set and used only Layer A (the top layer) to dry emboss onto white cardstock. I wanted to make an impression, not cut, the entire layer. I cut 1/4″ off each side to create a nice border.
I used my Tim Holtz poky tool to poke holes into the top and bottom of the ornament and threaded gold thread through each hole. I tucked the thread behind the dry embossed panel and secured it with tape on the back.
I put the entire panel onto an A2 sized cardstock, and then used yet another new goody — the Merry Christmas Sugar Script, to die cut the sentiment.
For the sentiment, I die cut the shadow from vellum, and die cut the words twice from white cardstock and then layered them together.
Lasty, you know I needed some bling, so I used the Christmas Fairy Crystals self-adhesive jewel set to add red and clear crystals across the card. That is it!
Honestly, I am just getting started with making Christmas cards with this newest release — and it is AMAZING!!
I hope this has inspired you to go craft and I can’t wait to come back with more crafty goodness.
