    Santa Baby | by Toni M Maddox

    Hello, Birch Press fans! Toni here with you today sharing a simple holiday card using the BPD Adornment Santa. Isn’t he super cute?!

    I colored him up with Copic E00 and E11 and used a flocked red cardstock for his hat. Yes, I have flocked cardstock that’s been in my stash for years as I used it primarily at Christmas-time.

    I used the BPD Herbarium Plate A as an impression plate on the card base. You know I love adding texture this way–subtle but adds a lot of interest.

    I finished the card using the BPD Handwritten Merry Christmas & Outline. I was very pleased with how easy it was to line up the outline die with the stamped sentiment.

    I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!

    Slimline Snowflake Trio | by Toni M Maddox

    Hello, everyone! Toni here with you today sharing a holiday card inspired by Scandinavian designs I’ve seen here and there.

    I cut out the BPD Piped Icing Star from white and Memory Box Ocean Blue 6×6 cardstock. I cut the floral centers from scrap red cardstock and added white pigment pen dots.

    I cut out a slimline card base from Memory Box Woodgrain Cardstock and mounted the stars on top.

    I colored scrap cardstock using Copic R29 to match the star centers and cut the BPD Sugar Script Merry Christmas from it. I added a narrow strip to the bottom as well.

    I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!

  • Tropical Sympathy | by Toni M Maddox

    Tropical Sympathy | by Toni M Maddox

    Hello, Birch Press fans! Toni here with you today sharing a rather non-traditional mixed media sympathy card.

    I cut out the leaves using the Memory Box Open Studio Tropical Leaves 3D Embossing Folder & Dies. Have you tried these before? Just amazing. Cutting the leaves out then embossing was super easy–look at these results!

    I added a touch of color to them using Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers and Carved Pumpkin.

    My entire idea for this card started with the Memory Box Open Studio Tropical Leaves 3D Embossing Folder. The leaf in the back reminded me of a feather so I used a gelli print I had pulled a few years ago (yes, years!) for which I had used Liquitex acrylic paints and a Feathers stencil by TCW.

    I embossed the large BPD Kind Hearts sentiment using a Wow! Embossing Pad and Ranger Detail Fine White Embossing Powder.

    I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!

  • Find Joy in Snow | by Toni M Maddox

    Find Joy in Snow | by Toni M Maddox

    Hello, Birch Press fans! Toni here with you today sharing a (relatively) clean and simple holiday/winter card in pink and black. I love that color combination, don’t you?

    I cut out the BPD Crochet Snowflake using the Memory Box Delicate Pastel Glitter and Vintage Pastel Mirror Pads along with white cardstock.

    I adhered that to the card front which I had embossed using the Memory Box Open Studio Ringadings 5 3D Embossing Folder.

    To finish the card, I added a few Memory Box Open Studio Autumn Jewels and the BPD Find Joy that I coated in clear Wink of Stella.

    It would be really easy to mass produce this design, changing out the colors, for a series of unique cards.

    I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!

  • Dove of Peace | by Toni M Maddox

    Dove of Peace | by Toni M Maddox

    Hello, Birch Press fans! Toni here with you today sharing a watercolored holiday card.

    I started the card by cutting out a BPD Herbarium Plate layer out of white and mounting it on kraft.

    The BPD Adornment Dove dies are a set of two, one that I used to cut the watercolored panel and the other for the white outline.

    I cut the BPD Peace Honey Script outline in the same watercolored paper (check out that fab shimmer!) and mounted the word in white on top. Super easy and pretty card–my favorite type!

    I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!

  • Stylized Sunflower | by Toni M Maddox

    Stylized Sunflower | by Toni M Maddox

    Hello, everyone! Toni here with you today sharing a card using the Gilded Grace Hot Foil Plate and dies along with the stencil set.

    The first thing I did was to use the Gilded Grace Outside Stencil Set with Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers, Mustard Seed, and Barn Door. On the last color, Barn Door, I also used Versamark with WOW! Primary Fuschia Fusion embossing powder.

    I used Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers and Mustard Seed to color up the center medallion as well. It totally looks like a stylized sunflower, right?!

    My last step was to hot foil the Sugar Script Sentiments 1 in magenta and pop it on top of the center. So pretty.

    I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!

  • White on White for the Holidays | by Toni M Maddox

    White on White for the Holidays | by Toni M Maddox

    Hello, everyone! Toni here with you today sharing a white on white card for a throughly modern take on the classic wreath.

    I cut out the Holly Wreath Plate Layer Set twice, adhering the resulting wreaths onto a woodgrain background.

    I used Memory Box Open Studio Fairy Jewels as berries. These are self-adhesive but I used glue as well since I wasn’t adhering them to a solid surface.

    I cut the BPD Find Joy out of black and mounted it on foam tape.

    I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!

  • Fall Colored Snowflakes | by Toni M Maddox

    Fall Colored Snowflakes | by Toni M Maddox

    Hello, everyone! Toni here with you today sharing a modern holiday/winter card using fall colors. Say what?!

    I cut out the BPD Snowy Circle Layer Set in Memory Box Sunny Orange and Fresh Aqua 6×6 cardstock, and the top layer in white.

    I also cut out a few Felicity Snowflakes in white.

    I adhered the Snowy Circle to the card front, arranging the Felicity Snowflakes as though they were falling from the sky.

    I hot foiled the Sugar Script Sentiments 1 with copper foil and diecut it with the coordinating outline die and popped it on top.

    I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!

  • Flora Joy | by Toni M Maddox

    Flora Joy | by Toni M Maddox

    Hello, everyone! Toni here with you today sharing a card using my beloved blue and red combo, this time for a holiday card.

    I cut out the two bottom layers of the BPD Herbarium Plate Layer Set out of Memory Box Fresh Aqua 6×6 cardstock and the top layer out of white. I mounted this on a dark aqua base.

    I love the faux shading the layers and paper create. Did you notice the shade lines as well? Brilliant!

    I used a Copic to color the berries red and added “Joy” cut from the BPD Mod Alphabet die set.

    I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!

  • Simple Floral Wreath | by Toni M Maddox

    Simple Floral Wreath | by Toni M Maddox

    Hello, Birch Press fans! Toni here with you today sharing a card that I would call any occasion. Honestly this is among my favorite type of card to make as I can use it for about anything: sympathy, friendship, encouragement, you name it.

    I started the card by using the Epiphany Plate Layer A with a rubber mat to emboss/impress the card front. The texture is amazing but really hard to capture in a photo.

    Next I cut out the Mandala Card Frame, using the circle as a wreath. I sponged it lightly with Distress Oxide Vintage Photo for a tiny bit of contrast against that white base. Notice now the circle fits perfectly in the Epiphany Plate center?!

    To decorate the wreath, I watercolored the Star Flowers Contour Layers blossoms with Zigs and adhered them along with a few Tiny Tuft Flowers and Leaves Contour Layers cut from Memory Box Lush Green 6×6 cardstock.

    I nestled the Big Hugs Sugar Script diecut amongst the foliage. So pretty!

    I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week.
