Hello friends! This is Crystal here with you today and I have made a few cards to share using the Frilly Triangle Layering dies. I love to make my cards in multiple colors, because every card truly does look different, yet perhaps one color is more appealing to your eye than another.
The first A2 sized card was made using a rich blueberry blue and a light baby blue cardstock. To keep things simple, I stayed with a monochromatic color palette for each of these cards. And, surprisingly for me, I did not use any glitter cardstock when creating any of these cards. That’s a first for me. I’m a glitter girl!
The second card uses an earthy moss green cardstock paired with a lime green cardstock. I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t love this color combo, but I bet someone else will!
For the last card today, my color palette is a rich raspberry cardstock and a sweet sugarplum (pinkish) cardstock. This one is my favorite!
I hope you have enjoyed seeing a variety of ways to use the Layering Triangle dies. Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
Hi there, it’s Tracey back again today. You’re getting a double dose of me this week. I am a big fan of adding colour to my projects with Distress Oxide Inks and today I have a special treat for you. I have five cards that were created with the Birch Press Design Midnight Mandala Stencil and Distress Oxide Spray Inks!
I used only two colours and one stencil and no two cards are the same. The process can be a bit messy so I use a homemade spray box. It is a 12 x 12 x 5 1/2″ priority mail box that I use whenever I splatter, flick or spray ink or watercolours inside the house. NOTE: I NEVER spray anything toxic inside the house such as spray paints or adhesive
The first two cards are very simple, I put a piece of white cardstock inside the box and laid the Midnight Mandala Stencil over top. The first card uses Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Spray. The bottle was primed and just sprayed a few times over the stencil. Then I lifted the stencil to reveal to design on the white cardstock panel. The stencil got a quick wipe off with a baby wipe and then the process was repeated with Peacock Feather Distress Oxide Spray. I set the two panels aside to dry.
For the next two cards I sprayed the entire background of the white cardstock panels with each colour of Distress Oxide Ink. One card was sprayed pink first and the other blue first. Once they were dry I laid the stencil over top of the coloured panel and then sprayed the other colour over top.
The last card was a combination of both colours of Distress Oxide Spray Ink. The difference with this card is that I did not wait for the first colour to dry before spraying the second colour. I sprayed the pink at the top of the card front and the blue at the bottom. What ended up happening as they met in the middle was a beautiful shade of purple. TIP: Do a bit of trial and error with the colours you choose when wet colour mixing. You don’t want to end up with a muddied panel.
All the panels were trimmed down to 5 1/4″ x 4″ and adhered to a white card base. The Honey Script Hello, Honey Script Thanks and Honey Script Hugs dies were used for the sentiments. All the shadows were cut from vellum and all the words were cut from white cardstock and glued together. They were attached to the card fronts with foam tape.
This was a fun project to put together, really easy and I ended up with five unique cards.
Thank you so much for stopping in today and I hope you are staying well. See you next time here at Birch Press Design.
Hello my crafty friends! I hope you’re having a great day! It’s Jeanne here and I’m sharing a rainbow color block card made with the new Floral Star layered die set.
I love using color block technique when using die cuts. The repeated crisp clean lines of the background and the die cuts themselves are a match made in heaven.
I determined a good size for the base would be 4 1/2″ . I split the panel down the center and then marked where the petal tips would be on the graph paper. I cut the red, yellow, purple and green squares 2 1/4″ square and adhered them together on their reverse side. I used the graph paper as a template to cut the blue and orange pieces.
I cut all three layers of the Floral Star Layer Set from white card stock. I inked the “B” layer with distress ink masking off each section with sticky tape. I applied the ink with a mini cosmetic brush that I found on Amazon.
I assembled the three Floral Star Layers and adhered them to the card base aligning the colors on the die cut with the colors on the background panel.
A Big Sugar Script Hello cut from gold glitter paper adds some sparkle and shine! The “Thinking of You” stamped sentiment is from the You Are Awesome stamp set.
I can never resist a rainbow! It includes ALL my favorite colors!
