Elegant Birthday Card | by Justine Hovey
It’s Justine Hovey here today showing off an elegant birthday card process video tutorial using the new Shining Mandala clear stamp and the Stargazer layering dies. I began by stamping the background and using rose gold embossing powder to cover the image.
Next, I die cut all the layers of the Stargazer die. I tried to pick interesting but neutral cardstock so I decided on a pearly white, rose and white glitter cardstock. I think all three nicely compliment each other and give that elegant appearance to the card without being too overwhelming.
I layered up all of the dies using Stick It adhesive which is my go to for adhering intricate dies. Lastly, I embossed the It’s your Birthday sentiment

Kaleidoscope Heart | by Alicia Havranek
Hello! Today I am featuring a couple products from the new release and oh my goodness I’m in love! I used the new Kaleidoscope Heart Layering Die with some holographic paper from my stash and just loved how it turned out. The dimension and shine are to die for!
I embossed some light pink cardstock with an embossing folder I had that was the closest thing to resembling hearts. I cut all three layers of the layering heart die in regular black cardstock for the base and used a blue and pink holographic cardstock from my stash for layers A and B. I glued all the pieces together, adhered it to my embossed piece, then adhered that to my card base.
For the sentiment I used the new Lingo Thanks stamp and die set. I love that Birch Press offers matching dies with their sentiment stamp set. After stamping and die cutting I decided to use a matching Copic marker to fill in the letters and adhered the sentiment with some foam dimensionals.
To complete the card I added clear sparkling sequins. If you want to check out the process video of me making this card, you can find it below as well as links to the layering die and stamp set. Thanks for stopping by!

A Circle Burst for A Birthday! | By Desiree Kuemmerle
Hello Everyone!I am back with another project, but this time I am going to use their Circle Burst stencil! I knew when I saw this stencil, there were going to be a lot of big and shiny balloons to celebrate a birthday!
Grabbed three of my distress oxide inks in spiced marmalade, worn lipstick and peacock feathers and my distress blending brushes and got my card stock panel ready for my stencil.
I made sure I taped my panel down so it would not shift while I was applying my ink through the stencil. Using my blending brushes I made sure I always went in the same direction which provided a shadow along one side of my balloons. Make sure they overlap to give a sense of the center balloon is in front of the other two!I pulled out my black fine liner pen and added my strings and bows to my balloons and a highlight mark with my white gel pen!
For my sentiment I used the Birthday Sugar Script die. This is a great large and bold sentiment to help the celebration shine! I used black card stock for the background die and a shimmer card stock for the sentiment itself!
I popped my sentiment up using my double-sided foam tape and placed along the bottom edge of my card design with enough space to set my other two sentiments above and below to finish my wish!I used my liquid adhesive to secure my panel to my standard A2 size top folding card base (4 1/4 inch x 5 1/2 inch).

Friend, Thanks For Being You | By Eloise Blue
Hello everyone and Happy New Year! Eloise here for my first post of 2019 and today I have a friendship thank you card to share with you all. I’ll be using the Circle Burst Stencil as well as the Best Friend stamp set for todays project.
To start off my project I took a piece of white watercolour cardstock and adhered it down to my ranger craft sheet. I then took the Circle Burst Stencil and starting ink blending.
I wanted to make a bursting rainbow today, so I took 10 colours of Distress Inks out and worked my way around making sure they were all getting blended in order. This stencil has cool embossed lines on it as well, so it’s easy to get it spaced out and lined up every time. Once my background was ink blended I flicked it with water and dried it off with a heat tool.
For my sentiment, I took the Best Friend stamp set, stamped and die cut the word friend and also white heat embossed the additional sentiment ‘Thanks For Being You’ onto a thin black strip. I added foam tape onto both and adhered them into place.
For a last finishing touch I pulled some white enamel dots from my stash and adhered them into place, just scattering them around.
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed. The video is linked down below for you all to watch.
See you next time!

Petal Burst Stencil Hello
by Jeanne Jachna
It’s New Year’s Eve! I hope you’re rested and ready to stay up late to ring in 2019! Today I’m playing with the Petal Burst Stencil from the store because the finished card reminds me of a firework!
There’s loads of new stencils in the store to work with. You can see them all here. The color combinations are only limited to your imagination. I used only four colors of distress ink – Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Spiced Pumpkin and Candied Apple.
I started by cutting a panel of white card stock the same size as the stencil (6×6″). I adhered the panel to my glass craft mat with double sided tape. Then I taped the stencil over the panel with removable wash tape and inked Candied Apple in all four openings. Next I wiped the stencil with a cloth to remove any excess ink, rotated the stencil, adhered it in place and inked the Spiced Pumpkin.
The stencil has marks etched into the plastic to help you align each turn of the petals.
When all the layers were inked and dried I cut the panel to 5″ square and adhered it to a 5.25″ square card base.
I attached a glue dot to the center of the inked panel and carefully arranged gold twine in a flower panel to the card base. The sticky string center is covered with a Big Hello Sugar Script die cut sentiment. Additional gold enamel dots were added to keep the twine in place and add extra glimmer.
Wishing you a healthy and happy 2019! And in case you missed it..
Better hurry! Today is the last day of our After Christmas Sale!
Finished Size 5.25 x 5.25″

2019 Banners | by Olga
Hi everyone, I hope you have had fantastic Christmas!
The project I have created today is a little home decor piece. These New Year banners are really easy to create – it’s the intricate shape of the die that makes them so special and unique. Once you have all the elements die cut you can put the entire project together really quickly.
I have used some triangle dies from the latest Birch Press release as well as the number set. I have layered the intersecting triangles, then added them to an embossed triangle banner base and mounted the last small triangle with a letter on top of everything. Then all there is left to do is to add some sequins and a ribbon!
Watch the step by step video tutorial if you want to know how to create this project step by step!
Have a very special, bright and inspirational Year 2019!!! Hooray! Happy New Year!

A Note For You | By Eloise Blue
Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a simple card for you all using the Line Fade stamp set. I chose a colour combo off of Pinterest and used that as inspiration for colours and layout with my card today.
Below is the colour combo I was inspired by.
Photo: @jenbpeters on Instagram
To start off the process I stamped out one of the square stamps from the Line Fade stamp set onto some pieces of white cardstock using six different colours of ink. I then cut them out using the coordinating dies. If you wanted to skip the die cutting step, you can stamp them in the grid design onto a pre-made card base, I just found this easier to line up.
Next I added foam tape onto the backs of all my squares and adhered them into a grid pattern onto a white card base.
For the sentiment I pulled the Shining Mandala stamp set out and white heat embossed the ‘A Note For You’ sentiment onto a thin black strip. I cut it down to size and adhered it down in the centre with more foam tape and that finished off my simple card today.
I hope you all enjoyed the card today. I love to create quick and simple cards like this sometimes.
Here is a link to the video.
Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you all in the new year.

Deco Triangles with a Believe Sentiment! | By Desiree Kuemmerle
Hello Everyone!I am back with another project, this time using the Tall Triangle Set with the believe Sugar Script Sentiment Die!
Hard to image a die so simple in shape can have so many possibilities!
For this card I wanted a deco or modern feel. So I went with a strong copper metallic card stock and shades of green and teal for my triangle die cuts. I layered most directly on top of each other using liquid adhesive but chose one layer on each triangle set to be popped up using my foam squares.
These were placed on my copper panel on an angel and trimmed of the edges even with my design base on the top and bottom.For my sentiment I used the Believe Sugar Script die. I cut multiple sentiments from black card stock and one from copper mirror to match the background.Once these were set, I placed my sentiment between my two triangles.
I used my liquid adhesive to secure my panel to my standard A2 size top folding card base (4 1/4 inch x 5 1/2 inch).
