Hello Everyone!
I am back with another project! This one will play tricks on your eyes… For today’s project we will be using the Line Fade Stamp and Die Set.
We want to start our project off by creating to blended backgrounds. I chose to use my distress oxides on white card stock. Using a blending tool, I created two rainbow pattern panels. You do not need to go for a perfect blend but you just want to make sure there are no white spaces between the colors you chose.
After your panels are blended you need to make sure they are dry before our next step. Now remember if you use Distress Oxides these are a pigment/ dye mix so they take time. I used my heat gun and time to allow them to dry completely. You can use your embossing powder to make sure they are ready.
Chose your stamps for your panel and grab your ink you use for your embossing. When you stamp your images you want to stagger the placement so you get all spectrums of the blended background.
After they are stamped you are ready to apply your embossing powder, I started with my white and then my other panel I used my black. A fine detail powder will work best for these because these lines are pretty detailed on the stamp set! Heat set your images.
Once they are all set, now we get to die cut our images. Grab the dies that coordinate with your image and run them through your die cutting machine. You see the visible differences between the to sets even though we used the same blended background! It’s the embossing powder that is creating this illusion! Cool right?
With our pieces die cut we can now set them up on our Standard A2 size card bases.
I used liquid adhesive and double-sided foam tape to give my strips dimension. I also made sure that the colors showing were flipped around from each other.
Now there is always a space you have after you design your card, so we can just add that to the inside of the card!
For my sentiment I chose the Big Lingo Type Thanks Die. I cut one in white and the other in black but only using the background piece. Our white sentiment was applied on the outside of our card.
The black sentiment I placed inside the card to add to the dramatic look and feel of this card.
It will be great surprise when the card is open and they see that bold pop of color!

As always, 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!
Supplies
I created a simple background using a single stencil to highlight a word image at the center of the card – some clear glittery embossing paste created a raised textured burst effect that is eye catching!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you’re having a great day! Today I’m playing with the new Adora Layer set! I love the versatility and many different looks you can achieve with this die set.
You can change the look by stacking the colors of the layers, but you can also remove the center circle design too!
I started by cutting a colored card stock panel slightly smaller than my card base. Next I die cut the Adora die from the panel before adhering it to the card base. This creates a clean window to insert the die into.
I adhered the layer C die into the open negative space and then adhered the Layers B and A over it creating a neat stack. Make sure you insert the center circle as you go – don’t save them for last. The dies are easier to assemble one layer at a time, vs. inserting the assembled circle stack in the center later.
I added a Big Lingo Type Thanks and a few gold glitter hearts as accents. I cut the hearts with the Adora dies.
I cut each die layer twice with a total of 6 different colors of card stock and then just swapped the centers to add more interest. Who doesn’t love a rainbow of color?
The new Lingo Type word dies are easy to work with.. each set includes a background die as well as an outline word die. The center of the letters on the outline die are removeable so you can use them on other projects or to create personalized messages if you like.
You’re going to love the many ways and fun different looks you’ll achieve with these beautiful stackable dies!

Hi there, it’s Tracey here today and I have a bright and cheery thank you card to share with you using the fabulous 
To recreate this card start out by stamping the longest of the rectangle stamps on to Bristol Smooth cardstock using VersaFine or other watermark ink. Emboss the images using white embossing powder and then cut the rectangles out with the co-ordinating Hex Fade dies.
Using Distress Oxide inks or any other inks that you have, sponge a different colour ink on to the cut out rectangles. For this card colour was added to the images using Distress Oxide inks in Spiced Marmalade, Candied Apple, Mowed Lawn, Mermaid Lagoon and Wilted Violet.
The rectangle strips were adhered directly onto a white card base in rainbow order. HINT–start by placing the one strip in the centre of the card front, then add one strip to each outer edge. Finally place the other two strips in between. This is an easy way to get your spacing correct.
The bright colours over the white embossed rectangles really highlight the ombre effect of this stamp set. Just imagine what it would look like if you were to blend two shades of the same colour on each rectangle.
The ‘Thanks’ sentiment was cut using the 
The finished card looks so good in the bright colours and the shine from the embossed images adds extra elegance to the overall design.
Thank you for stopping by to create with me today. The Hex Fade stamp set has endless possibilities. It can be used for almost any occasion and just by switching up the colour scheme or the method in which you stamp the images you can get totally different looks! See you next time here on the Birch Press Design blog!
