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!

















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.

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
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 (
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
