Hi friends, Eloise here to show you how to create some quick and easy tags. I used the Issa Snowflake Layers Die Set as well as the Joy and Peace Stamp Set.

I went ahead and cut all my layers out of some coloured cardstock, I went for a blue, purple and pink snowflake with a glitter top layer. I also decided to only use the insides of the dies for that snowflake shape. Once I cut them all out I adhered them together using liquid glue and threaded through some twine at the tops.

For my sentiment I used the Joy and Peace stamp set and white heat embossed ‘Merry Christmas’ onto a strip of black cardstock. I added foam tape onto the backs and adhered it to centre of each of my tags.

Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you next time.

Hi friends, Eloise here and today I’ll be sharing a Christmas Card with you all using the Radiant Ornament Layer Set as well as Big Joy Sugar Script Dies and Joy and Peace stamp set.

I started off with cutting out my Radiant Ornament Dies out of some glitter cardstock. I used a silver, teal and darker blue colour. While I had my die cutting machine out, I also die cut a ton of ‘Joy‘ words  as well.

I cut down a card base and adhered all the Joy words to the background using liquid glue. I also adhered all my ornament layers together as well.

I adhered my ornament to the card base with more liquid glue and tied a bow at the top using some silver twine.

Lastly, I white heat embossed my sentiment from Joy and Peace onto a strip of black cardstock and also die cut the stamped Joy word as well. I adhered them both to my card with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed my project. The video is linked down below if you would like to watch.

See you next time.

Hi I have a fun video for you today using the Joy and Peace clear stamp set as the main product for my card! It is time to get into high gear with my Christmas cards and this card is a perfect example of a card that you can easily mass produce.
Here are the products that I used for my card, you can use any inks that you have as well as any patterned paper you have in your collection.
The stamp platform tools that are available today make stamping almost foolproof. For my design I used one sentiment from the set and stamped it in a rainbow of colors to fit on the front of the card. I started with a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of white cardstock that I place in the top left of my MISTI stamping platform. I did this so that once I decided where my sentiment stamp was going to go I just needed to keep moving my paper down by an inch and then stamping in the next colour in the exact alignment to the left of the card front. The following video shows you the process I used, enjoy!

The Christmas Sugar Script die was cut three times with red cardstock and then glued together to create a thick sentiment for the bottom of my rainbow!
Tthe rainbow patterned paper is the perfect base to make the rainbow of Merry’s pop!
One more look at the card.
Thanks so much for popping in today and I hope that maybe I have inspired you to get going on those Christmas cards and use this technique for mass producing. Have a great day and we will see you next time!

Hello Everyone!

Now let’s see what we can create when we only use one of the layering dies! Today I wanted to have some fun with the Aurora Die Set, but I only wanted to use one of the layers, not all of them.

Since Fall is coming faster than ever, I wanted to chose colors that were warm and earthy (I am not sure if this is word, but it is what I see when I look at this card…LOL). I decided on a maroon, deep green, orange and kraft for my card stocks. I also had a navy blue but later changed my mind and did not have it part of the design.

I started die cutting my card stock with the Layer A of the Aurora Die set, once completed set them aside. I grabbed by paper trimmer and the kraft card stock and started cutting strips in the following sizes – 1/8 in – 1/4 in – 3/8 in. These are going to be used to create our own pattern paper for our card background!

I placed my strips on my design base at an angle using the various sizes we created earlier. To adhere them to my panel my liquid adhesive was perfect to ensure a good bond. Once they were all attached I used my shears to trim around the edge. I used my vintage photo distress ink around the edges to provide some shading.

I placed my die cuts on my design panel using my liquid adhesive and instead of stacking them on top of each other evenly I chose to stagger the layers. Now remember we are using only one die form the set! By staggering each of the colors it forms the shape of a flower! I set this panel aside so it can dry.

I grabbed a scrap piece of the maroon and wanted to use this for my sentiments. The sentiments I chose come from the ‘Just Because’ Stamp and Die set. After treating my card stock with my anti-static tool, I stamped my sentiments using my versamark ink and then heat emboss with fine detail white embossing powder. Trimmed my one sentiment and used the die associated for the other. I set my sentiments in place and set my panel onto my standard A2 size top folding card base.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project… Make sure you stay tuned for more wonderful projects coming soon! Have a great day and always remember… Be Creative!

Hello!  For today’s card I used the gorgeous Radiant Ornament Layering Dies to create a classic Christmas card.  For the sentiment I brought in the Merry Sugar Script Die and the Joy and Peace stamp set.

For my card panel I first took Layer A and embossed it on some white card stock.  Refer to your die cutting machine directions to find out how to emboss with a die.  I then took all three layers and cut them out with red, green, and white card stock.  I used some glitter card stock from my stash to die cut the ornament topper.

For the sentiment I love to add a touch of black to have the sentiment pop.  I heat embossed the sentiment in white embossing powder and used red card stock to die cut out “merry.”

I just love these layering dies.  They add so much to a card with very little work!

Here is a quick process video

Welcome back for another inspiration post at Birch Press Design. Today I have a fun card to share with you using the Viva Stencil set. The set comes as three separate stencils that work together, but for today’s card I only used Layer A so that I could do some ink blending right on the stencil.
I gathered my supplies together and made a short video to show you how I used the Mandala Card Frame along with the stencil to ensure that my ink blending only went through the stencil and not all over my white card base.
Armed with my Frog Tape I taped the Mandala Card Frame, that was cut with very thin white cardstock, over my 5 1/4″ x 4″ panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock. Once I secured the top and both sides down I lay the stencil over the circle and then taped the stencil down on the top bottom and both sides so that it would not move when I was blending ink over it. It might seem a bit much but there is nothing worse than a stencil shifting when blending ink on it. Lets have a look at how I created this card…

The stenciling is so vibrant. I used Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks. My ink pads were very juicy so I barely had to pick up any ink because my blenders were still a bit wet from the first run. Yes I did have to start over since I didn’t have my stencil secured enough with the Frog Tape the first time.
I used a sentiment from the Best Friends clear stamp set which I embossed in white on the same purple cardstock, that I used for the shadow on the Big Friend Sugar Script die and for mat behind the main panel. The purple really picks up the purple in the design.
A closer look at the blended colours from the stencil.
Thanks for stopping in today to create a card with me. All of the stencil sets at Birch Press Design open up so many options for colours and design. Have a wonderful day and we’ll see you next time.

Hi friends, Eloise here and today I have a card to share with you all using the Calen Layering Set as well as the new Big Shine Sugar Script Dies and Joy and Peace Stamp Set. I’ll also be using a colour combo that I found on Pinterest for my inspiration today as well.

To begin my card today, I started off with cutting out the Calen layers from their respective colours of cardstock. Below is the image for reference.

So I pulled some green, purple and mustard coloured cardstock for the layers and then two shades of pink for the sentiment. I die cut them all out and then set them off to the side.

I then took some liquid glue and adhered all my layers together. I used Layer A for the green, Layer B for the purple and Layer C for the yellow. I also reversed that for the centre panel, so the yellow would be on top.

Once they were all layered together, I adhered the sentiment together as well. I added a little Wink of Stella onto the top layer. I then made a card base out of some natural white cardstock, it has little specks in it so I thought it would be nicer than plain white.

I adhered my layered piece into the centre and tied a little bow at the top. I added foam tape onto the back of the Shine sentiment and also white heat embossed the ‘Let Your Light’ sentiment from Joy and Peace onto a strip of black cardstock and adhered that too.

That finished up my card for today, I hope you enjoyed. The video is linked down below.

Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you all next time.
