Summer Garden Snapshot
by Christina Rannow

Hello, Christina here! Summer has arrived, and there’s an abundance of inspiration in our gardens right now. Flowers are in full bloom and butterflies are fluttering about, the perfect combination for a lovely “Thinking of You” card. To create this garden snapshot, I paired the Daisy Flower dies with the Scallop Butterfly dies inside a wide frame and tucked in plenty of greenery. This card design is all die-cutting except the stamped sentiment, so it comes together easily. Let’s get started!

My first step was to die-cut the elements for my design from colored cardstock and assemble them. I chose fuchsia and yellow for the daisies and turquoise, black, and yellow for the butterfly. For the greenery, I chose two shades of green.

Next, I die cut a wide frame from a white cardstock panel using a basic rectangle die. Then, I popped the frame up on a soft blue cardstock panel using thin foam squares. With the frame panel complete, I started to arrange my die-cut elements within the frame. Once I was happy with the layout, I attached them with either liquid glue or, for added dimension, small foam squares. I let some of the elements overhang the frame so it looked like the scene was popping out towards you.

My final steps were to add a stamped sentiment banner and attach my card front to a top-fold card base.

Thank you so much for reading about my summer garden-inspired card design featuring the Daisy Flower and Scallop Butterfly die sets. See you again soon!

A Floral Birthday
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.

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a crafty awesome day!

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.

Sardine Delights
by Christina Rannow

Hello! Today I’m sharing something a little different. This delightfully quirky card features the Block Print Sardines die set, and using vintage sardine tins as inspiration, I created something reminiscent of those brightly colored tins. These little guys look right at home nestled inside rounded rectangle frames with a couple of sentiment banners splayed across them. Stick around and I’ll walk you through my process for creating this card.

My first step for this project was to create the sardines. These little fish just spoke to me, and I knew I could create something fun and different with them. I chose a light blue cardstock for the heads and tails and added some shading to them with a darker blue ink color and a small bending brush. For their bodies, I started with white cardstock and ink-blended them with yellow and orange inks. Finally, I assembled the pieces and finished them up with a shiny black pearl for each eye.

My next step was to create the background. I wanted something that would mimic the look of a tin, so I used nesting rounded rectangle dies to die-cut royal blue and warm gray cardstock panels. I die-cut a larger rectangle from the royal blue cardstock and a smaller one from the warm gray and then layered the frames together. Then I attached the frames to an A2 royal blue cardstock panel with foam squares to give them some height and dimension.

With the background panel completed, I was able to nestle the sardines into the center area, securing them with glue. If you look at vintage sardine tins, there’s a lot of text, banners, and icons on them, so I chose two sentiment banners, stamped them with sentiments, and attached them to my card with more foam squares. The finishing touch was to add a hexagram starburst that I die-cut from chartreuse cardstock to each corner.

Thank you so much for reading about this quirky card I created using the Block Print Sardines die set. See you again soon!

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.

Bright Floral Friendship Card
by Toni M Maddox

Greetings, my friends! It’s Toni with you again. Today I have a bright floral card perfect for any occasion.

I started by randomly cutting out the Block Print Lovely Flower from an orange panel of Memory Box Sunrise 6×6 cardstock.

I adhered this panel to a base of Memory Box 6×6 Lagoon cardstock. Look at those complentary colors–love!

Next, I diecut the flower centers from the Sunrise pad with the white stamens from scrap white.

I used the same yellow for the sentiment layer, embossing the Plain & Simple Birthday Greeting in white.

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

Proud Seahorse
by Christina Rannow

Hello friends! It’s Christina, and I have an under-the-sea-themed birthday card to share with you featuring the Proud Seahorse craft dies from the Block Print Collection. This handsome guy looks right at home tucked into some aquatic plants with a deep blue underwater backdrop. I love how this card design turned out, and I can’t wait to tell you how it came together! Let’s get started!

My first step was to create the under-the-sea background panel. I used my darkest blue ink and blended it onto the bottom of a cobalt blue cardstock panel, gradually getting lighter near the top of the panel. Then I used a stencil with small circles and more of the dark blue ink and stenciled them across the panel for tone-on-tone bubbles.

Next, I die-cut the components for the seahorse and the seaweed from white cardstock. Before assembling them, I added color with ink and blending brushes. I chose chartreuse and apple green ink for the seaweed and sunbeam, honey, and creamsicle ink for the seahorse. Then I arranged the die-cuts on the background and attached them with glue.

To finish things up, I die-cut a free-form watercolor shape from white cardstock, and before layering it onto the background panel to frame up the scene, I stamped “Happy Birthday” with coordinating blue ink along the bottom. The finishing touch was a few cobalt blue gems for embellishment.

Wishful Daisies
by Toni M Maddox

Greetings, friends! Toni here with you today and I’m sharing a cheerful birthday card featuring Block Print Daisy Flowers.

I cut out a few of the Block Print Daisy Flowers using Memory Box 6×6 Lagoon cardstock for the petals. I then used Catherine Pooler ink to add some variation in the color.

In addition, I sponged the Memory Box 6×6 Greenery cardstock with a bit of ink to create shadow on the stems.

I used a Poppy Stamps Fanciful Flowers stencil with Catherine Pooler ink to add the idea of more greenery behind the daisies.

For the Block Print Buzzing Bumblebee, I used the same shade of Memory Box 6×6 Sunrise yellow I had used for the flower centers. Super cute!

My final step was to add the Elegant Birthday Sentiments at the top, stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne.

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

Thinking of You
by Rosemary Dennis

Hello everyone! Rosemary here on the blog today sharing a card created with the Block Print Wise Fox, Block Print Starry Night Scene and Thinking of You Vintage Sentiment die set. Let’s have a look at what I made.

I started off my card by making all the pieces for my fox. I had been doing another rummage through my supplies and found my Distress watercolor pencils. I hadn’t really used them before so thought this would be a good time to give them a try.

I cut down a piece of watercolor cardstock and then scribbled on a combination of Gathered Twigs and Ripe Persimmon and then blended with water. The first generation of color was pretty light so I let the area dry and then scribbled on more color to get a slightly darker patch. To get an even darker value I got heavy handed with my scribbling and was able to get a nice darker tan color.

Once my panel was dry I die cut all the parts of the fox from different areas on the sheet to get the varying shades. I used the white parts were cut from the sheet of watercolor cardstock that wasn’t colored. I assembled my fox with liquid adhesive. Now it was time for the background. For this I used a Tonic Studios aqua flow pen in a dark blue on another piece of watercolor cardstock. I love the variation in the color that I was able to achieve.

I let it dry and then worked on the top panel that features the arched opening for the background piece. I die cut cream Memory Box woodgrain cardstock down with a rectangle die and then die cut the Starry Night Scene from the panel. I then die cut the trees and the star from scraps of cardstock that I had left over from the card I posted earlier this month. I trimmed out the trees and adhered them on top of the die cut panel.

The larger trees were also die cut from scraps. The background panel was dry and so I tried adding some “stars” to the background. I discovered that the blue is so deep and intense that the white just disappeared into the background. So I added drops of Nuvo jewel drops in a clear glitter. Once the panel was dry I adhered it to the top panel using thin foam squares.

I then adhered the fox and the large trees using thin foam squares. I finished with the sentiment that I die cut from a strip of watercolor cardstock that I colored with the same blue Aqua Flow pen and the woodgrain cardstock. I adhered them together and added to the card front with thin foam squares.

That’s it for me! I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Thanks for coming by and have a lovely day.
