Fuchsia Wishes
by Rosemary Dennis

Hello! Rosemary here on the blog today! Can’t believe we are already into August. Time is flying by, but I’m here today to share a card that has a little bit of a timeless quality to it. I used the lovely Block Print Fuchsia Spray and a modified Block Print Starry Night Scene to create my design. Let’s have a look.

I went very simple with this card as I wanted the focus on the pretty fuchsia flowers. I die cut a panel of white cardstock with a rectangle die. I then positioned the Starry Night Scene die where I wanted it to be on the panel, die cut it and then trimmed off the trees.

Another piece of white cardstock was die cut to the same size as the top panel and I ink blended the blue sky using Tumbled Glass and then Broken China.

Now it was time to make the fuchsia flowers. The leafy branch was die cut from a dark green cardstock from the Memory Box Leafy 6×6 pad and the stems from a lighter green from the same pad. I used pink and two shades of red from the MB Blush to die cut the flowers.

With all my pieces die cut and assembled it was time to put the card together. I adhered the die cut panel to the ink blended panel using liquid adhesive and then adhered the entire piece to a light gray cardstock base using double sided sticky tape. I used liquid adhesive to adhere the leafy stem at the top of the arch making sure to leave two areas unglued so I could slip the four little stems underneath. I adhered those down and then added the flowers using liquid adhesive, as well.

I finished off the card with a stamped and die cut sentiment from the Elegant Birthday Sentiments stamp set. I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Colorful Birthday Fun
by Annette Allen

Welcome Birch Press Design friends, Annette Allen here with you today and I am in a colorful mood. Today I am creating with the newly released: Bokeh Stencil Set, Block Print Round Mushrooms, Block Print Flashy Hummingbird and Elegant Birthday Sentiments. So let’s get started….

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

On a white A2 panel stencil the new Bokeh Stencil Set (42028) using colors that you love. Did you know that you can rotate the stencils to create more of those fun colorful circles. Stencil, rotate and stencil again.

Adhere your stenciled background to your card base using liquid glue or tape runner.

Next die cut the Block Print Round Mushrooms (57610) on colored cardstock. Use colors that compliment your background. It does not have to be exactly the same colors but close so it blends. Adhere your mushrooms together using liquid glue and foam tape for dimension and the add them to the lower part of the card.

Now die cut that gorgeous Block Print Flashy Hummingbird (57658) on colored cardstock. Make sure your colors compliment your background. Adhere your hummingbird together and then add to your card using foam tape for a little dimension.

Finishing with the Elegant Birthday Sentiments (CL8166). Stamp the sentiment of your choice on white cardstock using black ink and die cut using the coordinating die set. Adhere to the card using foam tape for a little dimension.

Don’t you just love all that color? If you know me, you know how I love to mix lots of color on my cards. Think outside the box and get colorful.

Thank you for stopping by.

One Die, Two Tails
by Savannah O’Gwynn
Hello, BPD friends! My name is Savannah O’Gwynn, and I’m super excited to share my very first Birch Press Design project as a Design Team Member!

I am in L-O-V-E with BPD product and knew that I needed the Corner Waves and the Block Print Whale Duo dies… to make a mermaid card, of course!

It’s really easy to create this card design, just follow these steps:
- Die cut the ocean waves using Memory Box Lagoon cardstock *NOTE: Memory Box cardstocks are the BEST for ombre color designs!
- Die cut your “whale tail” for the number of “mermaid tails” you will place on your card.
TIP: To create a mirror die cut of the tail, I placed the whale tail die on the BACK of the purple cardstock and die cut it regularly. *See photo below- left tail is a regular cut; the right tail is the mirror image.
- Next you add a bit of dimension and glitter to the “mermaid tail”
- Attach your waves using foam tape where the tails will go, and regular tape adhesive for the other waves. *I left a bit of white space between the waves for extra dimension in my water 🙂
- Attach your “mermaid tails” using foam tape
- Die cut your sentiment from rainbow metallic paper and adhere to your cardbase
- Finish by adding a few gems
This was super easy to create!

Here’s what I love about this card:
- It was easy to make!
- I can stretch my supplies by thinking outside the box- using a whale tail for a mermaid tail!
- I love the cardstock colors!
- This card design is fresh, fun, and heartfelt <3
I hope that you were inspired to create mirror die cut images or stretch your supplies and think outside the box for their uses!

I’ll be back with MORE soon!

Please remember to share what you create using these techniques- I’d love to see what you make with this idea!

THANKS so much for stopping by! Happy crafting:)

Deco Butterfly Birthday
by Rosemary Dennis

Hello friends! Rosemary here on the blog today with a sweet birthday card made with the new Block Print Deco Butterfly, Block Print Mod Branches and a sentiment from the Plain and Simple Birthday Greetings stamp set. Let’s take a look at what I made.

I started by die cutting all of the pieces of the butterfly and the mod branch from white cardstock. Then I decided to color the pieces using Copic markers. For this card I used a blue and purple color combo.

Once I had everything colored I let the pieces dry for a bit before assembling my butterfly with glue. I did use a dark gray marker to color the body.

For the mod branch I decided to die cut the berries, as well, and then colored them with a light purple Copic marker. The berries were then attached to the branch with glue. I die cut a light purple cardstock with a rectangle die for the background.

I don’t know if you do this or not, but it happens alot to me, but sometimes I get going on finishing a card and forget to stamp the sentiment before adding the images. That happened with this card. I added the mod branch using glue and then realized I needed to stamp the sentiment. Thankfully there was room for the sentiment and it stamped perfectly! The butterfly was added and the card was complete.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Thanks for stopping by the blog and have a wonderful day.

Distressed Floral Birthday Card
by Toni M Maddox

Happy summer, my friends! Toni here with you today and I’m ever so excited about the mini release featuring fuschia and birds, the perfect complement to my own garden.

Let’s start with the blossoms where I combined the Block Print Fuschia Flowers along with the Block Print Fuschia Spray. In my mind this is like a hanging basket of fuschia.

Of course, they’re irresistable to the Block Print Flashy Hummingbird. I sponged all the diecuts with Catherine Pooler inks then spattered them with water.

For the background, I embossed a panel with a 3D basket-weave then spattered Copic Opaque white over the top. But, as I was assembling the card, I discovered that the white wasn’t fully dry so it smudged. I ran with it and randomly swiped a white pigment ink over the top to make it intentionally smudged!

My final step was to add the Elegant Birthday Sentiment which I had inked up with a couple of green inks. Fabulous!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!

Peacock Birthday Card
by Annette Allen

Welcome BPD friends, Annette Allen (myclevercreations) here with you today and I am all about this Block Print Pretty Peacock. So let’s get started.

Create card from white cardstock A2 size.

Cut an A2 panel on yellow cardstock and adhere to your card base.

Cut 4 strips of colored cardstock. Cut them different widths and adhere them at an angle on a white panel measuring 4×5. I did not really center the strips but aimed for the middle. I usually am not trying to perfectly place, I just add glue and adhere to the card. haha….

Trim off access and adhere the panel to your card.

Die cut the Block Print Pretty Peacock (57591) in 5 different colors. Choose colors that make you happy. I used some of the colors I used on the strips.

You will need a solid piece for the back in order to adhere all the pretty colors. I die cut a circle and trimmed off the part not needed. This allowed me to adhere the colors and create my Pretty Peacock.

Adhere the peacock to the right lower center of the card using foam tape. This gives your card a little dimension.

Stamp the sentiment from the Elegant Birthday Sentiments (CL8166) on white cardstock using black ink and die cut using the coordinating dies.

To finish I add three white/clear sequins.

Thank you for stopping by….

by Annette Allen

Welcome Birch Press Design friends, Annette Allen (myclevercreations) here with you today. I hope you all are having a fantastic June so far. When I think of June, I think of flowers. We all love a good floral card… right?

Today I am creating with the Birch Press Design: Block Print Lovely Flower and Elegant Birthday Sentiment and Dies.

Create card from white cardstock A2 size

Cut an A2 panel of pink/reddish cardstock and adhere it to your card base.

Die cut the Block Print Lovely Flower on colored cardstock. Use colors that will pop on the background that you choose. Die cut 4 of the flowers (2 of each) and adhere the pieces together using liquid glue.

Add foam tape to the back of the center of the flower and add the large flower to the right upper and left lower part of the card.

Add a thinner piece of foam tape to the smaller flower and tuck them slightly behind the large flower.

Stamp the sediment from the Elegant Birthday Sentiment stamp set on white cardstock using black ink and die cut using the coordinating die.

Finish with about few sequins here and there. I used yellow.

A floral filled birthday card….. so simple, yet so happy.

Pine Trees Birthday
by Rosemary Dennis

Hello friends! Rosemary here on the blog today sharing a birthday card with a little more of a masculine feel to it. I used the fun Block Print Pine Trees die set, as well as a sentiment from the Plain and Simple Birthday Greetings stamp. Here is what I created.

I started by pulling shades of green from the Memory Box Greenery 6×6 cardstock pad and die cutting trees. I then mixed and matched the different colors to make the different trees and adhered them together with glue.

As the trees dried I tried out different arrangements and settled on the one you see. Now for the background. What to do, what to do? I know… a woodgrain background, lol! I also decided to add a sun in the background and used a yellow from the Memory Box Sunrise 6×6 cardstock pad.

I love the Memory Box woodgrain cardstock and decided to use a piece of the white woodgrain cardstock. I die cut it down to fit a card front and then searched for a sentiment.

I settled on the happy birthday sentiment and stamped it on to the woodgrain panel. I did stamp it several times to make sure I got the best coverage I could.

I adhered everything to the card front with glue as I didn’t want to add any more bulk to the card. I then adhered the panel to a off white cardstock base to provide just a little bit of contrast.

Well, that is it for me. I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Thanks for stopping by the blog today. Have a wonderful day.

Time for Cake Cake Cake!
by Toni M Maddox

Ahoy, friends! Toni with you today sharing a nautical birthday card that’s sure to get a chuckle from the recipient.

I started the card by sponging the background with a cloud stencil and Catherine Pooler ink.

Next, I added the Birch Press Design Corner Waves cut from a few shades of scrap blue cardstocks beneath an angle-cut piece of kraft cardstock with the Birch Press Design Waterfront Pilings to represent a pier.

The birds, Birch Press Design Block Print Curious Seagull and Block Print Pelican, were fun to assemble and ever so cute. Notice how I sponged just a touch of yellow on their bellies for a bit of shading.

My final step was to add the Birch Press Design Plain & Simple Birthday Greetings stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne. I can totally hear the seagulls overhead!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!

With Love on Your Birthday
by Rosemary Dennis

Hello everyone! Rosemary here on the blog today with a simple design using the Block Print Lovely Flower and Elegant Birthday Sentiments stamp and die set. I also used some papers from the Memory Box Anemone Grove 6×6 paper pad. Let’s look at what I made.

I guess this month I have a theme of using patterned paper, lol! I’m often hesitant to use patterned paper for die cutting, but decided that I would give it a try, again. For this card I decided to make sure that I used a more neutral pattern for the flowers. For that I chose a cream paper with gold foiling.

I chose a light blue paper with gold foiled flowers to use for the flower centers. A strip of the flip side for the blue paper was used as an accent as well.

I adhered all the pieces of the flowers together and set them aside to dry. I love the Memory Box woodgrain cardstock for backgrounds as it adds a nice subtle look. I trimmed down a piece of cream woodgrain and then added the strip of patterned paper.

The flowers were then adhered to the paper strip. I used a thin foam square for the large flower and then glue for the two smaller flowers. A dot of a crystal lacquer was added to each of the little stymens and I set aside the panel to dry.

I finished with the sentiment that I stamped in black on the reverse side of a piece of the cream woodgrain cardstock thus achieving a nice cohesive look. I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
