Hi friends, Eloise here and today I have a quick and easy Christmas card to share with you all. Birch Press Designs Dies I feel are some of the best dies to create quick and easy cards with, so for Christmas time – this is perfect for mass producing.

To start off my project today I pulled a piece of gold glitter paper and cut it at an angle (if you were to mass produce this design, you could easily use gold foil paper, or create your own glitter cardstock using embossing powder). I also cut a piece of white cardstock to the same angle as well.

Next I used the Metro Triangle Collage dies and ran it through my Big Shot Machine with the white cardstock piece. While I had my die cutting machine out, I also die cut the ‘Believe‘ word from red cardstock. I then glued the white die cut panel onto some dark green cardstock.

Lastly, I used the Joy and Peace stamp set and stamped the ‘The Season to’ sentiment onto the white strip and adhered the ‘Believe’ word next to it using foam tape. I added adhesive onto the backs of both the white and gold pieces and adhered them to a card base.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed, got inspired and I’ll see you next time.

Layering dies make Christmas cardmaking so easy to do! Justine here again with another process video on how to create this simple layered look to create stunning Christmas cards this holiday season. A lot of it is cardstock choice and you can get a million different looks depending on the cardstock used. I chose a baby blue, silver and white glitter to create this card.

I began with a piece of 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 sea glass cardstock and die cut it using the Dotted Rectangle Layers die to create a pretty frame that reminded my of tiny snowflakes. I then die cut all the layers of the Trina snowflake using equally subtle colours. I glued them all together and topped off the card with a Merry Christmas sentiment!

Jeanne here today!  There’s something about bright, bold colors that just makes me happy.  Today I’m sharing this butterfly card on a rainbow background.

I’m a big fan of Distress Ink, and when the Distress Oxide was released a while back, it took me a while to catch on to the trend.  It’s biggest advantage in my opinion is it’s creamy texture and blendability.

I inked up a panel of white card stock with Picked Raspberry, Candied Apple, Spiced Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet.   I splattered the panel with water and then with some Dr. Ph. Martins Bleed Proof White Ink.
I topped the panel with the Triangle Fade Frame cut from white card stock.  I love the fresh triangles and the gradient pattern.

I stamped the butterfly from the Close to the Heart Stamp set with Memento Ink and colored it with Copic Markers.  I used the coordinating die to cut a second butterfly from gold glitter paper.  I created a U shaped fold down the center of the colored butterfly the size of the black card stock body.  This allowed me to adhere the butterfly under this area and made it possible to fold the wings.

Wishing you a bright beautiful day!

Hello Everyone!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Now let’s make a Birthday Card and have a double celebration!
So, gather up all your favorite colors for Halloween. Mine are always purple, lime green, orange and black. Once you have your card stock together grab your dies and let’s cut some paper!

So, I first arranged my colors in the order I thought looked best and set a frame die onto each card stock and ran them through my die cutting machine. Now you can put your card together two different ways. First you can keep each of your card stock just as it is cut and layer them on top of each other. This will give you some dimension with out adding all the double-sided foam tape! I chose to use the die one size down for each of my panels and cut out the inside of each. This way I was able to create a die-inlay effect but using a frame die!

After all my card stock was cut I started layering them together, and the final piece I popped up using some double-sided tape. This was all done directly onto my Standard A2 size card base.
I then grabbed a scrap piece of black card stock and stamp my sentiment using the Best Friends Clear Stamp Set with my clear embossing ink and white embossing powder and heat set until it was all melted. I placed this on an angle onto my black panel.

To embellish my card, I chose to use my gloss drops in purple lime green and orange. I think it just added to the cauldron effect I was going for with this card.

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!

Happy Monday!  Today I decided to do my first circle card featuring the lovely Calen Layering Dies.  It was super simple and a great way to change up your card making.

I took the second to largest circle die from the Wrapped Circles Die, folded a card base and placed the circle die on the card base with top portion of the circle die hanging off.  I then cut it with my Big Shot.  There is a video below if you need a visual reference.

I then cut black, gray, and white sparkle card stock out with the Calen Dies.  Once cut, I glued them all together and onto my circle card base.  I heat embossed “Believe” with white embossing powder and die cut it out using the Joy & Peace die set, which I LOVE!  I stamped out the rest of my sentiment on gray card stock, trimmed, and popped up on my card base.

Here is a process video:

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.

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!
