  • Friend, Thanks For Being You | By Eloise Blue

    Friend, Thanks For Being You | By Eloise Blue

    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!

  • A Note For You | By Eloise Blue

    A Note For You | By Eloise Blue

    Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a simple card for you all using the Line Fade stamp set. I chose a colour combo off of Pinterest and used that as inspiration for colours and layout with my card today.

    Below is the colour combo I was inspired by.

    To start off the process I stamped out one of the square stamps from the Line Fade stamp set onto some pieces of white cardstock using six different colours of ink. I then cut them out using the coordinating dies. If you wanted to skip the die cutting step, you can stamp them in the grid design onto a pre-made card base, I just found this easier to line up.

    Next I added foam tape onto the backs of all my squares and adhered them into a grid pattern onto a white card base.

    For the sentiment I pulled the Shining Mandala stamp set out and white heat embossed the ‘A Note For You’ sentiment onto a thin black strip. I cut it down to size and adhered it down in the centre with more foam tape and that finished off my simple card today.

    I hope you all enjoyed the card today. I love to create quick and simple cards like this sometimes.

    Here is a link to the video.

    Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you all in the new year.

  • Deco Triangles with a Believe Sentiment! | By Desiree Kuemmerle

    Deco Triangles with a Believe Sentiment! | By Desiree Kuemmerle


    Hello Everyone!

    I am back with another project, this time using the Tall Triangle Set with the believe Sugar Script Sentiment Die!

    Hard to image a die so simple in shape can have so many possibilities!

    For this card I wanted a deco or modern feel. So I went with a strong copper metallic card stock and shades of green and teal for my triangle die cuts. I layered most directly on top of each other using liquid adhesive but chose one layer on each triangle set to be popped up using my foam squares.


    These were placed on my copper panel on an angel and trimmed of the edges even with my design base on the top and bottom.For my sentiment I used the Believe Sugar Script die. I cut multiple sentiments from black card stock and one from copper mirror to match the background.

    Once these were set, I placed my sentiment between my two triangles.

    I used my liquid adhesive to secure my panel to my standard A2 size top folding card base (4 1/4 inch x 5 1/2 inch).

    If you want to see more details just click on the video below and see our project come together step by step!

    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!

    Shining Mandala | by Alicia Havranek

    Hello everyone!  Today I am on the blog featuring the beautiful Shining Mandala stamp set.  I wanted to keep it simple with today’s card, but stay tuned as I will definitely be bringing this stamp set back for future products.

    So in addition to the Shining Mandala stamp set, I also used the Big Hello Sugar Script Die and the Gold Rose Handmade Paper.  Isn’t it lovely?!

    To start off, I heat embossed the Shining Mandala stamp set with gold embossing powder.  I trimmed it down with a stitched scallop die.  I cut the handmade paper A2 size (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) to completely cover the card base.  I adhered the handmade paper to the card base and added dimensional to the scalloped embossed panel.  I die cut out the sentiment in black and some gold glitter card stock from my stash. Adhered the two, added dimensions, and adhered it to my card.  Topped the card off with some gold gem stones and called it done!  I love this card.  Simple, yet classy.  You could change the sentiment and it would make a wonderful Christmas card.

    I hope you enjoyed.  I do have a process video below for a quick overview of how I put the card together.  Let me know what you think!

    Oxide Galaxy Sky | by Justine Hovey

    Happy Holidays everyone! It’s Justine here for my last holiday card of the season featuring an awesome Distress Oxide galaxy background technique. When I received the Nativity Star die I was absolutely blown away by its elegance and beauty that I had to play around with a fun background technique to suit it.

    I used yellow, orange, pink, purple, green, navy and black ink in order to create the background. I used a really great and subtly cardstock layer combination as well – gold, silver, white glitter and vellum.

    I paired the card with the Simple Joy sentiment that I love so much die cut using silver and gold cardstock. I love how the imprints of the joy make lining up the letters so easy!

  • Sparkle Snowflake | by Tracey McNeely

    Sparkle Snowflake | by Tracey McNeely

    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 Issa Snowflake Layer C with some white and silver sparkle cardstock. Once the cuts were cleaned out I used the inner portion of the die to create a white sparkle snowflake with the thin innermost layer inlaid with silver sparkle.
    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 Joy and Peace in black ink onto the panel.
    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.

  • Nativity Star and Simple Peace! | By Desiree Kuemmerle

    Nativity Star and Simple Peace! | By Desiree Kuemmerle

    Hello Everyone!

    I am back with another project using the Nativity Star and the Simple Peace Die Sets!

    This die is one that is great for not only making a card, but also adding ornaments to your tree or even a gift to someone special!

    I first die cut all my pieces and ready for assembly. I die cut each layer from the Nativity Star Die Set and also from the Simple Peace Die Set. The color I chose were very natural looking and had a warm feel to them, with a little gold sparkly to add a little sparkle.


    When layering each piece I used my liquid adhesive to ensure a secure bond and set aside to set and dry.

    I then placed my pieces onto my design base, cut at 4 1/8 inches x 5 3/8 inches, this way I knew where I wanted to place a touch of ink to sit just behind my star.


    For my sentiment I used Simple Peace. This is a two-layer die set and for the second I chose a gold glitter card stock to add a touch of sparkle.

    Once all my dies were glued together it is time to put our card together. I started by placing my star in place and used an acrylic block to make sure it dried flat onto your card base. Next my sentiment was set towards the bottom of my card.

    Line Fade Stamp & Die | By Alicia Havranek

     

    Hello!  Today I am featuring several new products from Birch Press Design.  First, I stamped white card stock using the new Line Fade stamp set and die cut them out with the coordinating dies.

    I did some die cutting, cutting out the second to largest triangle from the Tall Triangle die set and my sentiment, Joy, from the Simple Joy die.

    I popped up the triangle and the Joy sentiment to create this quick and simple Christmas card.  You could use any color scheme to make the card for any occasion.  The Line Fade stamp set is so versatile and the die set as well.  You can find the process video below.  Enjoy!

  • Tall Christmas Trees | by Tracey McNeely

    Tall Christmas Trees | by Tracey McNeely

    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 Tall Triangle Set craft dies are just perfect to make a simple Christmas tree and so easy to mass produce.
    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 Sugar Script Numbers craft dies from red cardstock to make the letters pop!A really simple design and in no time you can make multiple cards!
    With the layers you can make multiple cards in no time.
    I stamped two sentiments from the Joy and Peace Clear Stamp Set on the inside of the card. One of the things about the sentiment sets from Birch Press Design is that you have the ability to mix and match the phrases and say exactly what you want to say.
    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.

  • Christmas Wreath Duo | by Tracey McNeely

    Christmas Wreath Duo | by Tracey McNeely

    Hi there, it’s Tracey and welcome back for another inspiration post. Today I have the pleasure of introducing the brand new Birch Press Design Wreath layering set along with the new Simple Joy craft die. By creating just one wreath I was able to create two festive projects.
    I created the beautiful wreath mandala using three shades of green cardstock and one sheet of sparkle cardstock.  Once I die cut all the pieces I separated the inside from the wreath to use to make a second project. These are the supplies that I used…
    The wreath craft die set comes with four Layers (Layer A, Layer B, Layer C and Layer D). I cut Layers A using my darkest shade of green because that is the layer I wanted to be the top layer of my wreath. Layer B was cur from the lightest shade of green and Layer C from my darkest shade of green. Finally I cut Layer D from the sparkle cardstock. I glued all the layers together using liquid adhesive so that I had a bit of time to wiggle the layers into place if I needed too. I used for red sparkle Stickles to fill each of the holes of the wreath that were meant for the berries. Once assembled I adhered the wreath to a top folding cardbase.
    I die cut the joy sentiment from the new Simple Joy craft die set using red cardstock. Classic Christmas colours that really pop off the clean white cardbase.
    I set the assembled card aside and I glued the centers from layers A through D together, once again with liquid adhesive. I die cut a tag from the Poppystamps Stitched Main Street Tags and I adhered the tiny wreath on to the tag. Then I stamped Joy from the Joy and Peace clear stamp set in red at the bottom of the red. I finished the tag off with a couple of tiny silver jingle bells tied on with same silver cord.
    It is always fun to stretch your supplies and it was easy to create two projects at the same time. This would be a lovely duo for a Christmas present. A tag for the package and a card inside.
    Thank you so much for joining me today! I am excited to share with you that I have a PRIZE for one lucky person on the Birch Press Design Instagram. Come over to see what it is…
