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!

Supplies






























Hi there, it’s Tracey back today with some more inspiration using Birch Press Design craft dies. There is something magical about snowflakes and even more magical when you combine them with some sparkle.
To create this card I die cut the
The background was created by blending some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink on to a 5 1/4″ X 4″ piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and then the panel was splattered with Copic Opaque White. Once it was dry I stamped the sentiment from the
The snowflake was assembled right on the panel by first adhering the larger white snowflake to the centre over the sentiment and then the thin silver snowflake with inlaid into it. Lots of pretty sparkle and the blue ink blending behind it creates a very dreamy looking snowy scene.
The panel was attached to the card base using some foam tape for dimension.
Using sparkle cardstock with any of the Birch Press Design craft dies adds a special touch to your cards. Look at how pretty the snowflake is with two shades of sparkle cardstock.
Have another look at how pretty the card is.
Thank you so much for creating with me today to create a pretty card. Dig out your dies and give this technique a try. Have a wonderful day.











Hello Everyone!










Welcome back for another day of Birch Press Inspiration. As the countdown to Christmas has already begun I still have a few cards to make. The
I simply chose three shades of green cardstock and cut them with the Tall Tree dies. I think I spent more time choosing which layer would be which colour than it took to actually create the tree!
I created a red front for my card base and then added a white panel over it for my tree. The base was the largest die cut triangle, I adhered that to the card front directly. Then I adhered the remaining three layers using foam tape to give the completed tree dimension. The numbers were from the new
With the layers you can make multiple cards in no time.
I stamped two sentiments from the
Just two craft die sets I as able to create today’s card. You can get creative with so many colours.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope that I have inspired you to make some cards using just a couple set of craft dies! Have a wonderful day getting creative.


Have you checked out the new releases in the store? You’re going to love all the new products including dies, stamps and STENCILS! Today I’m sharing a card made with the new Stargazer die!
When I saw it for the first time I kept seeing a color wheel! I couldn’t wait to start playing with it so add lots of beautiful colors!
I started by cutting the Stargazer Layer A from white card stock and adhering it to the Stargazer Layer C die cut.
Next I flipped it over and added double sided adhesive foam tape to the back.
Next I inserted colorful die cut card stock pieces inside the openings. The adhesive foam tape provides some hold but you will still need to add glue over the white card stock to hold the cuts in place. The tape gives you a steady surface to adhere to and allows you to stick the finished Stargazer to your card base.
I embellished my card with enamel dots so you can see the added dimension from the foam. The dots are slid under the raised Stargazer die cut.
The center star cuts are in rainbow order with the outer circle filled with variations (lighter and darker shades) of the center colors.
The Simple Peace word die comes with an outline (cut from gold here) and a detailed (cut from white) word die cut. I love that I can stack the die cuts or just use the letters if I like.
Would you like a chance to win the Stargazer Layer A die cut?
Finished Size 4.25 x 5.5″
