Hello, friends! Dee here and today, I’m sharing a clean and simple fall-themed card that features the Classic Sentimental Wreath stamp and die set combined with the Petal Triangle layer dies. Let’s get started!
To begin, I cut down a piece of ivory cardstock to 4” x 5.24” then stamped and gold heat embossed a sentiment from the Classic Sentimental Wreath stamp set.
Next, I cut the Petal Triangle layer dies (A, B, and C) in the same ivory-colored cardstock, stacked and adhered them together, then mounted them onto the panel with foam adhesive.
For the leaves, I stamped each in three different colors then tucked and adhered them behind the Petal Triangle layers.
To finish, I mounted the completed panel to an A2-sized, top-folding card base!
I hope that you liked this clean and simple design! Thank you so much for stopping by, until next time!
Hi Everyone, It’s Renee’ from Delaney Jane Cards here. I had the opportunity to play with the String Art Circle Collage die and created 3 different cards showing just a couple ways you can use this really fun die.
The first card I created was simply die cut from a piece of deep blue cardstock from the Ocean Blue 6×6 Paper Pad. I ink blended a couple of oxide inks over the top to give the front panel an ombre look.
To further the ombre feel I added fairy jewels to the larger openings in three different shades of blue, using both the pastel and brights Fairy Jewels. And I stamped the simple sentiment Hello in the center of the center circle from the Rainbow Days Lingo Notes Stamp Set. I adhered down that inner rim of the circle and popped the panel up with foam adhesive to create some cool dimension.
Cards two and three were created at the same time but look drastically different. I used the negative cuts from the String Art Circle Collage die to create this card here, featuring the Proud of You sentiment from that same Rainbow Days Lingo Notes stamp and die set. I added foam adhesive to the larger of the shapes, so the outer three rows. The inner two rows were adhered directly to the card front as was the center circle.
This created a super cool textural feel to this very sleek card.
Card three was created from a deep toned rainbow blended panel. I cut two additional panels with the String Art Circle Collage die cut in the same exact position so I could stack them for a bit of dimension. I splattered the background with shimmer spray and some plain water drops.
Happy Saturday everyone! It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook popping in today. I hope your day is starting off splendidly! I have been itching to watercolor this gorgeous rainbow image since it released and I finally made it happen.
To create my card today, I started by pulling my stamps out and playing around with images and sentiments. I found that the rainbow and clouds from Rainbow Days Lingo Notes worked fabulous with the extra large sentiments in the Happy Lingo set!
I stamped and heat embossed the images on Bristol smooth cardstock with clear embossing powder. Then I watercolored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a water brush pen.
I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out and moved on to my background. For that I blended distress oxide ink in tumbled glass and mermaid lagoon on a white panel. I spritzed it with water and flicked some pearl watercolor on it.
When I ink blend I tend to use a larger panel so I can choose how to cut it down. After everything was dry, I trimmed it down to A2 size and adhered it to a white card base.
I added foam squares to the back of my rainbow and some clouds and adhered them to the background. Then I added the HUGS sentiment the same way. I adhered the clouds in the background with liquid glue next.
At that point I thought there was something missing so I took a look at the sentiments in the Rainbow Days Lingo Notes and was so excited to see “sending rainbow wishes!” I stamped and heat embossed it on a strip of black cardstock and adhered it with a foam strip.
I love adding general purpose cards to my stash and this one will be amazing for a huge variety of occasions, or just because, which is my very favorite to send!
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
For today’s project I am focusing on the die, a sentiment die and making it our focal point of our slimline card design!
I chose the YOU die from the Happy Lingo die set, later we will add a stamped sentiment from the same named set.
I wanted a lot of sparkle for this card but also keep it clean and simple. I used the Memory Box 6 x 6 Jeweled Glitter Cardstock pad and plain white card stock.
I die cut from each of the colors a chose from the rainbow and then die cut four more layers using white card stock from my scraps! Best way to clean up that bin!
Using my liquid adhesive and layered all my die cuts together. While they were drying, I grabbed my slimline card base measuring 3 1/2 in x 8 1/5 in.
On my panel (measures 3 1/4 in x 8 1/4 in) I marked the center and made sure I set my sentiments along that mark and then went to each end. This helped when making sure they were equally spaced across the front panel, and yes you guessed it, I do not like to use a ruler! LOL…
Once they were set in place, I cut another panel that measures 3 ½ in x 8 1/5 in using black card stock. Stamped and embossed my sentiment and layered that over two of the die cuts, while making sure not to block any of them!
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 crafty readers! This is Crystal here with you today sharing a colorful card using the Dahlia Heart Layering Dies and some fun rainbow colored paper.
Card details:
The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. For the first 5 1/4″ x 4″ paper, I dry embossed a piece of white cardstock using a basket weave embossing folder. I adhered this embossed paper directly to the card base.
To create the two hearts, I die cut Layer A (the top layer) of the Dahlia Heart Layering Dies from white cardstock. I die cut two of these pieces as I have two hearts. I layered the Dahlia Heart outline over some scrap pieces of rainbow paper and fussy cut around the hearts:
I adhered the two hearts to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment “sending rainbow wishes” in Tuxedo Memento Black ink. This sentiment is from the Rainbow Days Lingo stamp set. I adhered the sentiment to the front of both heart using a Tombow adhesive runner.
I hope you have enjoyed this cheerful card. Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
Hi Everyone, It’s Renee’ from Delaney Jane Cards here with a different take on the eclipse technique. Many times we see it done with words but I thought I could achieve something similar with the beautiful Tranquility Layering Dies and Handwritten Thanks. When I’m feeling stuck I often try to use a favorite technique or product in a new way.
Today that technique was similar to the Eclipse technique but could also qualify as Inlay. These layering dies, they create so much opportunity for experimenting and stretching not only your supplies but skills as well!
For this card I ink blended an 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of cardstock using the Kitch Flamingo and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Colors. Then I trimmed this into two separate panels.
I die cut the Handwritten Thanks die from the panel where I wanted it to be on the finished card.
I removed the die cut and placed the tranquility Layer A from the same piece of cardstock where the final piece will be on that card panel.
This cut the place holder for the finished layered tranquility layered die set. I die cut each of the layers from both black and a coordinating cardstock. Layer C from yellow and Layer B from Pink.
I die cut the shadow layer from the Handwritten Thanks from black cardstock when I did all my die cutting. After I had all my layers, I adhered each layer to a coordinating black piece of cardstock. This will create additional drama in the final die cut design. These layers will not only add additional depth but by using black it will add a visual outline for each layer as it is viewed from the side.
By cutting the top layer, Layer A, from that initial panel, this creates the basic eclipse pattern. If I had simply stacked black die cuts under the top layer and then put it back exactly where I die cut it from, I’d have created an eclipse design. By putting the entire stack of die cuts in this layer die set together, I also achieve the inlay die cut technique, the eclipse technique and I create additional depth in the design.
I finished this card off by layering that thanks onto the edge of the tranquility medallion and added sparkle and shine with the fairy jewels in clear by Open Studio.
I’d love to know what you think of my design and of this super fun attempt at adding a twist to the eclipse technique. Please let me know in the comments.

Hi There, it’s Tracey back today with a couple of cards that are perfect to send out to someone that you have been missing throughout the pandemic!
I began by cutting two each of the Tranquility Layers die set using white heavyweight cardstock. I usually save this cardstock for my card bases. However when I want the main die cut image or sentiment to really stand out I do use the heavier weight cardstock.
I cut one die from the Tranquility Layers die set through a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ panel of white cardstock. Then I taped the panel to another panel of the same size with low tack tape. This creates a well for the die cuts for blending colour on to them.
I glued each layer together before I added colour to them, I usually do the gluing after but I am trying something different. Starting with Layer A, the one with the largest openings, I set the die cut into the well so that it doesn’t move around while I blend colour on to it. I kept the centre in place when blending my colours. You could do the centres in a completely different colour but for today I am treating it as a whole. I started with a very light hand blending a rainbow of pink, red, peach, yellow and green on a diagonal. I used Distress Oxide inks.
Next I moved Layer B into the well and did the same colours this time putting more colour down but still not heavy handed.
Finally I put Layer C into the well, this is the die cut that has the smallest size of holes. I used the same colours but I put these on with a heavy hand to really show the depth of the colours.
This is what my stencil well looked like after blending. then after I removed the top panel! To pretty to toss away. Can you see that while I was blending over the layers that it created another image on the bottom panel under the well. We will get to that later on. I will set it aside for now.
To finish out this card I glued the three thick layers together and the results are gorgeous. The double thick die cuts add so much more dimension. Thanks Jennifer McGuire for the tip!
I cut a 5 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ panel using Radial Pinpoint cover die as a background for my mandala. Next I cut the Hello Honey Script die three times with heavyweight while cardstock and glued it together. I did not use the shadow, only the word. This will sit in the centre of the mandala. Before gluing everything down I stamped the sentiment “I miss seeing you’ from the Brush Sentiments clear stamp set on the bottom right corner of the Radial Pinpoint cover die. I added a few Pastel Fairy Jewels to finish it off.
I didn’t think I was going to use the panel that underneath my well, but it was too pretty not to use. what happened next was an embossing mistake I think all of us have made at one time or another. I had my plates mixed up in my sandwich and instead of embossing over the image I cut it with the Layer A die and all the teeny tiny pieces! I was too far into it now to back out, so I put a piece of double sided adhesive paper on to the back of the die cut to pick all the pieces up together. That worked great but now the front of my die cut was surrounded by adhesive. Out came the scissors and I fussy cut around the outside of the die to get rid of it. Then I put the mandala onto a panel of cardstock that was a bit smaller than the card base, added a sentiment also from the Brush Sentiments clear stamp set and added some Bright Fairy Jewels.
So the process yielded two beautiful and yet similar cards. Thank you so much for joining me today and crafting with me. Have a fabulous day.
Hello friends and happy Monday! Welcome back from the weekend. This is Crystal here with you and I’m excited to be sharing STAMPED projects with you today and not the usual beautiful layering dies that Birch Press Design is known for. Do you even know that Birch Press Design also sells stamps?! Surprise, they do!
Card details:
The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. This is my go-to white cardstock for everything. Using the Delfina Layer A die, I die cut the lattice background from white cardstock. I adhered this directly to the card base. I stamped the flowers from the All the Happiness stamp set in Versamark ink on Distress Watercolor cardstock and heat embossed the image with gold embossing powder. I then watercolored the flowers using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers in Scarlett Red, Bright Yellow, Persian Blue, Pale Green and Light Green.
Once the watercolor was dry, I die cut the image using the coordinating All the Happiness dies. I adhered the flowers in the lower right corner of the card using 3M foam adhesive. I stamped the sentiment “celebrate today” from the Classic Sentimental Wreath stamp set. I punched the sentiment out using a label punch and adhered it to the card with 3M foam adhesive.
I also created a second card using the same stamp set and watercolor colors:
The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. Using Layer A from the Delfina Layering Dies, I die cut the lattice background from white cardstock. I adhered the lattice background directly to the card. I stamped the flowers from the All the Happiness stamp set in Versamark ink on Distress Watercolor cardstock. I heat embossed the image with gold embossing powder and then I watercolored the image using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers (the same colors are listed above).
I die cut the flowers using the coordinating die and adhered the flowers to the card using 3M foam adhesive. I stamped the sentiment “celebrate today” from the Classic Sentimental Wreath stamp set in blue ink on white cardstock. I punched the sentiment out with a 2″ circle punch. I also adhered the punch to the card using 3M foam adhesive.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing products OTHER than dies that Birch Press Design has to offer. Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
Welcome everyone! It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook stopping by today with this beautiful Arista Layering card featuring some simple ink blending to get a custom look.
To start my card, I die cut all three layers from the Arista layering set from white cardstock. Then I chose 3 dye inks and the coordinating blending brushes to ink them up with.
Next, I took a white panel measuring 4×5.25 inches and inked it up with different colors at an angle, from one corner fading out. Then I smooshed the ink pad on my glass mat, spritzed it with water and used a paintbrush to flick color across the panel. That wasn’t giving the amount of impact I wanted so I came back in with gold watercolor and boy am I glad I did! The shimmer and texture this gives is fabulous!
I chose a sentiment from the Sentimental Wreath stamp set and stamped it in the lower right corner of my inked panel.
Then I used liquid glue to adhere the Arista layers together and then onto my panel. I covered it with a clear block for a few minutes while it dried and then trimmed of anything hanging over the edge.
I added foam tape to the back of the panel and placed it on a white card base. Then I finished the card off with one green gem from the fairy jewels pack.
The Arista layering dies might be one of my very favorite sets! It’s just beautiful and I haven’t seen it used in a way that didn’t look amazing!
I hope you found some inspiration today to create something wonderful and share it with someone.
Thank you for sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
Hello friends, and welcome back! Dee here and today, I am sharing this intricate card that I created with the Tranquility layer die set! For this card, I decided to use a single color in three different shades for an elegant and sophisticated feel. I hope that you like what I came up with! Let’s begin!
First, I die cut the center circle of the Tranquility die (saving the outer layers for a future project), cutting layers A and C in white and layer B in all three shades of blue. I then adhered the layers together with each combination containing a blue middle layer.
Next, I cut a piece of white cardstock down to 3.75” x 4” and adhered the circles to it in a random pattern, and trimmed off the excess, using those pieces to fill in any gaps. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Rainbow Days stamp set and die cut it with a circle die (from my stash), and adhered it to the card with foam tape.
To finish, I added silver metallic pearls to the center of each of the circles for some extra shine and mounted the card onto an A2-sized top-folding base.
Thank you so much for stopping by, crafty friends!
