Hello, friends! Dee here today to share this fun, geometric hello card!
To begin, I embossed a piece of A2-sized black cardstock with the Memory Box Ringadings 3D embossing folder. Next, I cut the Starburst layer die (layers A, B, and C) twice, in white, and adhered them together, forming two stars.
I cut both stars in half then adhered them around the edge of the black embossed panel. Next, I ink blended a small piece of white cardstock in rainbow order, then cut it with the Big Sugar Script hello die. I die cut the shadow in silver glitter cardstock, adhered it behind the rainbow hello, then adhered the completed sentiment to the card with foam adhesive.
As a finishing touch, I added some iridescent sequins and mounted the card onto a top-folding base. I hope you that enjoyed reading more about how I created this card! Thanks so much for joining me today, friends!
Hello, BPD fans! Toni here with you today sharing a trio of cards using the Viola Plate Layering Dies. I LOVE this set. I like gothic architecture–all those layers and lines–and this reminds me of that so much. I also read Pillars of the Earth this summer which piqued my interest in the style.
For the first card, I used all 3 layers on a base of Distress Oxide Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio which I had spattered with Copic Opaque White and a bit of water.
I used Memory Box Delicate Pastel Glitter 6×6 Paper for Layer C but kept the rest in white. I sponged the Honey Script Peace outline diecut in Peacock Feathers with just a touch of Salty Ocean at the top in keeping with the base ombre effect.
As I worked on this card I wondered how it would look without using Layer C so that the background would show more. Umm, amazing!
I used Lindy’s Magicals in Saltwater Taffy as well as a bit of Ranger Perfect Pearls to create the delicate pink background. Using only the top two layers of the Viola Plate set is like the best of both worlds–the background is easily seen AND the gothic pattern still remains.
For the final card, I found that the majority of the “bits” of Layer A which I had cut out of the Delicate Pastel Glitter 6×6 Paper remained as a whole (still cut out but within the diecut panel). I’m not one to let good glitter go to waste so I adhered those bits to a leftover hot foil experiment in my stash.
It’s like glittery poinsettias, right?! I cut the panel into a square and used the Christmas Ornament & Labels stamps and die for the sentiment. The lot is mounted on an off white base embossed with a wooden plank pattern. I love that the Viola Plate Layering die set is so versatile!
I hope you were inspired and have a wonderful rest of your day. Thanks for visiting!
Today let’s dig into out stash and grab those ornament layering dies! I will be featuring the Tinkle and Radiant Ornament die set and even pulled out the Floral Star, just so you can see any layering die will work with this technique. Let’s get started!
As always we are completing our die cutting first! I dug into my scrap pile since I was using colors on one side and a solid color on the other, just to save on card stock!
After my ornaments were together using liquid adhesive, I set those aside to dry and grabbed my kraft card stock to create my tag shape. I cut 6 rectangles measuring 3 ½ inches x 5 ½ inches. I snip one corner and turn it over to the other side so my tag will be even on both sides.
For 3 of the tag shapes, I used my score tool to score a line 1 inch down from the top of the tag and then glued another tag shape without the score together. The score line allows the tag to function like a top folding card!
I used some torn scraps for accenting my tag shapes along one side and used vintage photo ink around the edges…
Grab some twin and ribbon and create your tassel for the top of the tag shape. Make sure you create an ornament hanger and attach that to you ornament first. Then gather the rest of your twine to strong your ornament and tag together!
You see in one project we can create a tag, a card and even make it a gift!
As always, I hope you enjoyed today’s project… and if you want to see more details just click on the video below and see how these projects come together step by step!
Make sure you stay tuned for more wonderful projects coming soon! Have a great day and always remember… Be Creative!
Hello and welcome! Seeka here and today I’m sharing a card featuring the Marisol Frames and Marisol Ornament Layer sets.
To start, I cut the four layers of the ornament from three different cardstock colors. I used a red for the solid layer (which is part of the Ornament Basics die set), a peachy pink for Marisol Layer B, and white for Marisol Layers A and C. I adhered the four layers together and set them aside.
Next, I used the Marisol Frames Layer A die to cut white cardstock. I adhered the two pieces to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of light pink cardstock and then used foam tape to adhere the ornament.
For the sentiment, I used the Big Joy Sugar Script die set. I cut the sentiment from the same red cardstock as the ornament’s solid layer, and then cut the shadow layer from vellum. I adhered the two layers together and then used foam tape to adhere the sentiment to the ornament.
To finish, I adhered the card front to a card base.
Welcome back! Dee here today sharing a clean and simple card with lots of white space and a pop of color!
To begin, I added texture to an A2-sized white card base with the Memory Box Ringadings 3D embossing folder. Next, I cut the Tranquility layering dies (frame and circle center) in three different colors: Layer A in yellow, Layer B in hot neon pink, and Layer c in dark pink/purple.
I adhered the frame portion to the center of the embossed panel, then adhered the circle with foam adhesive
Next, I cut the Big Hugs Sugar Script die three times in white then stacked and adhered them together.
To finish, I adhered the stacked hugs to the center of the circle and mounted the card onto an A2-sized, top-folding card base.
For the first card, I stamped the tree image onto Copic-friendly cardstock and colored it up with Copics BG49, R43, Y18, and YR09. I then diecut the tree outline from the Memory Box Majestic Hues 6×6 Glitter Pad.
Isn’t that glitter dreamy? I added a few Fairy Jewels as well because why not–bling it on! I stamped the Christmas Mandala sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black and kept the remainder of the card very simple to really showcase that fabulous tree.
Since I had the Christmas Mandala set out, I made a very different second card. I used Catherine Pooler inks as well as Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment Ink to stamp the Joy sentiment onto the card base bokeh-style. I made a few of these since they’re time-consuming to set up but once you do, easy peasy to stamp and off stamp on multiple cards.
I hope you were inspired today and find a bit of time to get crafty. Have a great rest of your day!
Hello crafty readers! This is Design Team member Crystal Komara here with you today sharing a couple cards made using the beautiful Pumpkin Lacework stamp set and coordinating dies. This is probably my favorite stamp set from Birch Press Design, so just like the old expression “if the shoe fits, buy it in every color”, I decided to stamp it in every color! Now the question is, do YOU prefer the more traditional orange/brown pumpkin, or do you like the blues and purples?
So, let’s take a look at the most conventional card first. It’s beautiful and elegant heat embossed with gold embossing powder and then colored using Copic markers in brown, oranges and yellows. It is very traditional, warm and earthy.
But, now let’s step outside-of-the-box and try the same exact card simply using a different color pattern. Does it still emit fall vibes? I think so!
Card details:
Each of these A2 cards were made using all the same dimensions and products, I simply alternated some colors. The base of each card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. I matted a 5″ x 3 3/” piece of white woodgrain cardstock with a coordinating piece of blue, purple or brown cardstock from the Ocean Blue, Vibrant Violet and Earth Neutral 6 x 6″ paper packs. I cut 5″ x 1/4″ strips of ombre colors from these same paper packs and diagonally lined them up along the card alternating with 1/4″ strips of gold glitter cardstock from the Twinkling Jewel Glitter 6 x 6″ pad.
I stamped the pumpkins and stems using the Pumpkin Lacework stamp set. I stamped the image in Versamark ink on white cardstock and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I used the coordinating dies to cut the pumpkin and stem out. I colored the pumpkins with Copic markers and then adhered the colored pumpkins to the card with 3M foam adhesive. I stamped the tag in coordinating colored cardstock in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I adhered the tag to each pumpkin and added linen thread for extra dimension. Lastly, I cut the sentiment “thanks” and “hello” from white cardstock using the Thanks Sugar Script and Hello Sugar Script.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing these cards in a variety of colors and that you’ll feel encouraged to try adding more color to your fall cards. Thank you for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
Today I am featuring the Epiphany Plate Layering Die Set! We do not have to use our dies only one way, let’s look beyond what they are capable of! With this set we get a plate, ring, and a medallion. So many ways we can arrange these pieces. Let’s get started!
First let’s get our die cutting done and layer our sections together, let’s include our sentiment at the same time!
I also cut a 4.25 inch x 5.50 inch panel to place behind our main layering panel. I grabbed a circle die to cut two panels from vellum card stock! These will be placed off-set behind our ring and medallion.
For our card we are going to use a 5 inch x 7 inch card base setting our main panel in the center towards the top. Our medallion is placed in the upper right hand corner with the vellum edge hanging over the opening and the ring is placed at the bottom right corner the same way!
Next we place out sentiment die cut along the edge of the panel showing through the ring die.
This will give us a great geometric shape to our design!
For the final touch we always need to add some bling with some gem embellishments!
As always, I hope you enjoyed today’s project… and if you want to see more details just click on the video below and see how these projects come together step by step!

Hello, everyone! Toni here with you today with a couple of cards inspired by ornaments found on my grandma’s Christmas tree back in the day.
For the first card, I used the Marisol Ornament Layering Dies cut from Memory Box Delicate Pastel Glitter 6×6 paper and Cottage Stripes & Dots 6×6 paper.
I embossed the Christmas Ornament and Labels sentiment in white on kraft and cut it out with the coordinating label die.
For the second card, I used the Belle Ornament Layering Dies along with Memory Box Delicate Pastel Glitter 6×6 paper and foil paper from my stash (a great substitute would be Memory Box Polished Foil). I particularly love the patterned center of this ornament.
I embossed and cut the Christmas Ornament and Labels sentiment for this card as well, this time using Memory Box Fresh Aqua 6×6 paper.
On both cards I embossed the front with the Memory Box Gracious Leaves 3D embossing folder as the design reminded me of mistletoe. The texture is amazing!
Fun tip: I attached both ornaments to the card front with removable adhesive dots and included a silver hanging loop in case the receipient wants to hang the ornament in years to come.
Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful rest of your day!
Welcome back, crafters! Dee here sharing a card that combines the Arista and the Pinpoint Radial plate dies for a clean and simple geometric design! Let’s get started!
I began by cutting the Pinpoint Radial plate die with white cardstock, then die cutting Layer A of the Arista layering dies four times – once in white and three in different colored cardstock. I stacked all four together, offsetting each one, and adhered them together for a kaleidoscope effect, then adhered it to the center of the Pinpoint Radial background.
To finish, I cut the Big Hello Sugar Script die once in colored cardstock and once in gold, stacked and adhered them together (offset), and adhered it to the background. For a little extra shine, I added gold embellishments to the center of the Arista circle!
