Welcome, friends! Dee (@dilaynacar) here and today I am sharing a bold and colorful jewel-toned card featuring the Kinsley layering die!
To begin, I die cut each of the Kinsley die layers with three different colors of cardstock: fuchsia, turquoise, and yellow. I cut the first two layers (A & B) in each color and cut the bottom layer (C) in gold glitter cardstock, then stacked and adhered them before adhering all three to a piece of navy cardstock. I then cut off excess from the edges.
For the sentiment, I die cut the Sugar Script Big Hello die three times in white, then stacked and adhered them together. I cut the shadow die in vellum and adhered it behind the stacked Hello for extra dimension, then adhered it to the center of the card.
Finally, I embellished the card with gold bobbles and mounted it onto an A2-sized top-folding card base.

Hello! Seeka here and today I have a slimline card featuring the Splendor Mini Tile Layer Set and some pretty shades of blue and teal cardstock from the Fresh Aqua 6×6 cardstock pack.
I started off by die cutting each layer of the die set in different shades of cardstock, cutting the bottom layer from a medium teal, the middle layer from white, and the top layer from a light blue. I repeated this two more times to create enough pieces for three tiles.
Next, I stacked and adhered the three layers together to create a tile, and then repeated two more times to complete the other tiles.
Then, I stamped a sentiment from the Awesome Ticker Tape Messages stamp set in black ink onto white cardstock. I trimmed the sentiment into a strip, trimming off the black outline that’s part of the stamp in the process.
To assemble the card, I used glue to adhere the three tiles to a 2.5″ x 7″ white card base and then I adhered the sentiment strip using foam tape.
For additional embellishment, I added self-adhesive Clear Jewels from Memory Box.
I die my sentiment from some scraps of the deep blue and white glitter cardstocks and mounted it in the center of the panel design. It fit absolutely perfectly between the two floral motifs. I mounted everything on a top folding A2 card base.

Hi there it’s Tracey here today and Happy Friday. I had a chance to play with the Field of Blooms layer die set and I can’t even begin to tell you how many things there is to love about this set!
For today’s card I used Layers A and C of the Field of Blooms die set. I started out by dry embossing Layer C on into an A2 sized piece of white cardstock, two times. Dry embossing gives a similar effect as using an embossing folder, but usually it’s not as sharp of an image. For all intents and purposes this works out just fine because this layer will be at the bottom and you won’t see it.
Using Copic markers I coloured over the image that was embossed so that the colours would show through Layer A which is on top. I didn’t worry about colouring perfectly, in fact my colouring is quite messy, but because it is being covered with Layer A there is no need for perfection. The picture below was my practice piece so that you can see what I mean by messy. I changed the colour scheme on a new embossed panel and realized I didn’t snap a picture until I had glued all the layers together, but this gives you an idea of what I did.
After I finished colouring I set the panel aside. I die cut two of Layer A from white cardstock and then glued the two layers over Layer C. The whole panel was then glued to a top to an A2 top folding card base.
The sentiment is made up of the Big Lingo Type Happy. I cut three of the shadow using white cardstock and glued them together to make the word chunkier then I cut the detail layer from black cardstock. The second line of the sentiment is from the Crystal Lingo clear stamp set. It was white heat embossed on black cardstock and trimmed down.
Happy was glued directly to the card front and the second line was popped up using foam tape. Now the card has both positive and negative dimension. Positive because both lines of the sentiment protrude and negative because the two top layers add negative perspective of the tulips!
Thanks so much for stopping in today and crafting with me. Take another look at your layered cover die sets and think of ways you can mix and match the dies. Whether you are adding more layers or using less, or even cutting multiples of the same layer–one change can create a completely different look!
Hello crafty readers! This is Crystal Komara here with you today sharing two elegant cards created by mixing products from sister companies Birch Press Design and Memory Box. As Design Team members for Birch Press Design, we are fortunate to receive some products from both companies and today I’m showing you how beautifully they compliment each together. Do YOU mix products when you create? I love to mix stamp sets, papers and dies because it allows for an infinite amount of ideas and is a great way to use more of what you own.
Card details:
The base of this A2 sized card was made using 80 lb. Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock. I die cut the first layer from white cardstock using Layer Plate A of the Viola Layering Plate dies. I adhered this intricate layer directly to the card base. Using the All the Happiness stamp set from Memory Box, I stamped the flowers in Versamark ink on black cardstock and heat embossed the image with gold embossing powder. I die cut the flowers using the coordinating All the Happiness dies and adhered it to the lower right side of the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock and fussy cut the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the top left of the flowers.
Here is the second card that I made using the same products, but a slightly different color combination:
Card details:
The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock. I cut a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ piece of black cardstock and adhered it directly to the card base. Using Layer Plate A of the Viola Layering Plates, I die cut this layer from white cardstock. I adhered this intricate layer directly over the black cardstock. Using the All the Happiness stamp set, I stamped the flowers in Versamark ink on gold foil paper. I heat embossed the image with black embossing powder and used the coordinating All the Happiness dies to die cut the flowers out. I adhered the flowers to the lower right side of the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock and fussy cut the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the top left of the flowers.
I hope you have enjoyed today’s elegant black and white cards and that you can see the magic you can create when you combine products. Thank you for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
Welcome back everyone. It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook today with a fun springy feeling tulip card featuring the field of bloom layering dies.
I started things off today by getting inky, which is one of my favorites. I pulled out a white cardstock panel and did ink smooshing with my tombow brush pens.
Once that was dry, I chose a solid purple cardstock that complimented the inked panel, green foil paper for the leaf layer, and another white panel for the top. Then I started die cutting my layers.
The purple pad I used was a 6×6 which left the perfect strip to cut the hello topper from so it would coordinate with the bottom layer of my card. Then I cut the hello word 3 times from white cardstock and glued everything together with liquid glue.
I adhered all the field of blooms layers to the purple panel and then added it to a white card base and layered the hello topper last. I trimmed off the excess hanging over the edge and my card is finished.
The green foil paper really has a cool effect when you move the card in the light. I just love it.
I also love the modeled texture of the ink smooshing for the flowers. It gives the whole thing so much visual interest.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
Today it all about the die cutting! We are going to use the inlay die cutting technique while featuring three laying die sets. I will be using Dahlia Mini Frame, Field of Bloom, and Floral Star sets, but any se can be used!
Ok as always, let’s get started!
Lots of die cutting so I made sure I chose my colors from the beautiful color pallets of 6×6 paper pads by Memory Box and got my layers die cut and put together with my liquid adhesive. Now I made sure I cut an extra layer “a” for each of the design I chose and set that layer aside.
I chose my sentiments from the honey script die collection and only used the ‘cloud’ portion of the die set and cut into the layers I set aside where I wanted my sentiment to appear! Depending on the die set you used your top layer now may be two parts!
I then die cut my sentiments and layered those as well…
We are now ready to inlay our sentiments into our top panel!
All my panel designs were placed onto a standard A2 size (4 1/4in x 5 1/2in) top folding card base.
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 readers and happy Monday! If you celebrate the Easter holiday, I hope you had a blessed weekend. This is Crystal here with you today sharing two cards in bright spring-like colors made using the Butterfly Garden Layering Plates.
I am so in love with these beautiful layering dies and while while one layer is enough to make an impact, all three layers together is really stunning, especially when you add in a middle layer of glitter cardstock.
Here is a step-by-step instructional video so you can see how both of these cards were made:
I hope you have enjoyed these cards! Thank you for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day.
The project I have for today features the Lotus die but the A layer only, some glitter paper and some super cool wood grain paper.
I started by die cutting the Lotus Flower Layer A out of a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ panel of some wood grain paper as well as some glitter paper 6 x 6 glitter Holiday Glitter Pad. I know it isn’t anywhere near those normally sparkly holidays but this paper works any time of year!
After I die cut the two pieces I ink blended over the wood grain flower with some light pink ink and some more intense pink ink. I wanted to add some softness and color to this gorgeous flower.
I only used the outline from the glitter die cut. I layered it over the ink blended die cut image and inlaid it inside the original panel. What a beautiful way to finish a die cut design!
I heat embossed my sentiment and mounted it center below my die cut image. I mounted everything on a top folding A2 card base.

Welcome, Crafters! Dee (@DilayNacar) here and today I am sharing a clean and sparkly encouragement card that features the new String Art Circle Collage die combined with two favorites of mine! Let’s get started and go over how to make this simple yet elegant card!
I began by die cutting the background out of white cardstock using with the Pinpoint Radial die, then die cut directly through the circle using the String Art die. Next, I die cut the String Art die twice more using two different shades from the Memory Box Graceful Garden glitter pad and used the negative pieces to fill in the circle on the background panel.
For the sentiment, I die cut the Big Sending Sugar Script die twice in white and once in black cardstock, stacked them for extra dimension, and adhered it to the card. To finish, I chose a sub sentiment from my stash to add underneath and added some clear sequins as an extra touch!
I hope that you enjoyed my card today! Be sure to check back for more inspiration, and visit us on Instagram @BirchPressDesign and me @DilayNacar for more inspiration. Thanks so much for stopping by today!
