    Hello readers! This is Crystal here today sharing another way to use the beautiful Butterfly Garden Layering dies. If you recall, just last week I shared these two cards created using these same exact layering dies, yet they look vastly different when they are done in a completely different color scheme! I can’t decide which one I like better, can you?!

    I have created this fairly short video for you to watch to see how I put this A2 sized card together. This will guide you though step-by-step each process of this card – and it’s all under five minutes long! I’m a fan of keeping things short and sweet!

    There is also a list of supplies used (with clickable links) conveniently located at the end of this post.

    I hope you have enjoyed this card and video tutorial. Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative weekend!

    Butterflies in Blue | by Crystal Komara

    Hello friends and happy Wednesday! This is Crystal here today sharing two cards created from one layered die! I’m always trying to find the best way to get more “bang” for my buck, whether it’s recycling or repurposing products or making my craft supplies stretch just a little bit further. Who else has one of those “bits and pieces” bins filled with little odds & ends just waiting to be made into a card!?

    Today I have used the Butterfly Garden Layering Dies and the Lingo Thanks stamp set and coordinating dies. I feel like this is one of those cards that you could make in ANY color! I do that quite frequently, especially if I need to replenish my card supply. Perhaps someone really likes pinks or purples, then this design would also accommodate other colors too. Plus, by the time you are done die-cutting all those butterflies, you will have lots of extra ones to add to your “bits & pieces” bin!

    I have created a short step-by-step instructional video for you to see how this card came together. I do hope you will find it helpful!

    Thank you so much for visiting and I hope you have a wonderfully creative day!

    String Art Frame in Pinks and Jewel Tones | by Kimberly

    Hello Birch Press fans! Today I bring you two cards using the amazing String Art Frame Die.

    I love the radiating lines. I have selected some wonderful sparkle colors to match the jewel tones in the glitter papers. I water brushed blended them for my background onto the watercolor paper that is now available in the shop.

    I cut the String Art Frame in a light shade of the lovely delicate pastel glitter paper for both cards.

    Some gorgeous purple glitter paper from the Twinking Jewel pad was perfection for the butterflies.

    For the Love you card I die cut the heart sprinkles die directly onto the background and added the word dies.

    The purple glitter papers, as well as all of the jewel paper pad colors are divine!

    I am loving all of the newest release this Spring, and I hope you are enjoying it as well!

    String Art Frame Thanks
    by Jeanne Jachna

    Hello my crafty friends! I hope you’re having a great day. There’s more new in the store and I’m excited to share a card made with the new String Art Frame.

    I wish you could see this one in person! It’s a rainbow of sparkly color!

    I started by adding double sided adhesive to a white card stock panel the same size as my card base. Then I removed the protective sheet and adhered the String Art Frame to the sticky panel.

    Next I sprinkled colorful glitter over the open areas of the die cut where the double sided adhesive is exposed. I pressed the glitter into the panel with my finger tips, but you could burnish with a roller or a bone folder.

    The colorful sparkly background is a feast for the eyes!

    I added a simple sentiment using the Thanks Honey Script word die (that comes with a detailed and background die) and a stamped sentiment from the new You Are Awesome stamp set.

    This sparkly technique will work well with lots of your die cuts. I sure hope you’ll give it a try!
