Hello! Seeka here and today I have a slimline card featuring the Splendor Mini Tile Layer Set and some pretty shades of blue and teal cardstock from the Fresh Aqua 6×6 cardstock pack.
I started off by die cutting each layer of the die set in different shades of cardstock, cutting the bottom layer from a medium teal, the middle layer from white, and the top layer from a light blue. I repeated this two more times to create enough pieces for three tiles.
Next, I stacked and adhered the three layers together to create a tile, and then repeated two more times to complete the other tiles.
Then, I stamped a sentiment from the Awesome Ticker Tape Messages stamp set in black ink onto white cardstock. I trimmed the sentiment into a strip, trimming off the black outline that’s part of the stamp in the process.
To assemble the card, I used glue to adhere the three tiles to a 2.5″ x 7″ white card base and then I adhered the sentiment strip using foam tape.
For additional embellishment, I added self-adhesive Clear Jewels from Memory Box.
I die my sentiment from some scraps of the deep blue and white glitter cardstocks and mounted it in the center of the panel design. It fit absolutely perfectly between the two floral motifs. I mounted everything on a top folding A2 card base.
Thank you for stopping by and as I always say, Give Cards Generously!

Hi there it’s Tracey here today and Happy Friday. I had a chance to play with the Field of Blooms layer die set and I can’t even begin to tell you how many things there is to love about this set!
For today’s card I used Layers A and C of the Field of Blooms die set. I started out by dry embossing Layer C on into an A2 sized piece of white cardstock, two times. Dry embossing gives a similar effect as using an embossing folder, but usually it’s not as sharp of an image. For all intents and purposes this works out just fine because this layer will be at the bottom and you won’t see it.
Using Copic markers I coloured over the image that was embossed so that the colours would show through Layer A which is on top. I didn’t worry about colouring perfectly, in fact my colouring is quite messy, but because it is being covered with Layer A there is no need for perfection. The picture below was my practice piece so that you can see what I mean by messy. I changed the colour scheme on a new embossed panel and realized I didn’t snap a picture until I had glued all the layers together, but this gives you an idea of what I did.
After I finished colouring I set the panel aside. I die cut two of Layer A from white cardstock and then glued the two layers over Layer C. The whole panel was then glued to a top to an A2 top folding card base.
The sentiment is made up of the Big Lingo Type Happy. I cut three of the shadow using white cardstock and glued them together to make the word chunkier then I cut the detail layer from black cardstock. The second line of the sentiment is from the Crystal Lingo clear stamp set. It was white heat embossed on black cardstock and trimmed down.
Happy was glued directly to the card front and the second line was popped up using foam tape. Now the card has both positive and negative dimension. Positive because both lines of the sentiment protrude and negative because the two top layers add negative perspective of the tulips!
Thanks so much for stopping in today and crafting with me. Take another look at your layered cover die sets and think of ways you can mix and match the dies. Whether you are adding more layers or using less, or even cutting multiples of the same layer–one change can create a completely different look!
Hello crafty readers! This is Crystal Komara here with you today sharing two elegant cards created by mixing products from sister companies Birch Press Design and Memory Box. As Design Team members for Birch Press Design, we are fortunate to receive some products from both companies and today I’m showing you how beautifully they compliment each together. Do YOU mix products when you create? I love to mix stamp sets, papers and dies because it allows for an infinite amount of ideas and is a great way to use more of what you own.
Card details:
The base of this A2 sized card was made using 80 lb. Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock. I die cut the first layer from white cardstock using Layer Plate A of the Viola Layering Plate dies. I adhered this intricate layer directly to the card base. Using the All the Happiness stamp set from Memory Box, I stamped the flowers in Versamark ink on black cardstock and heat embossed the image with gold embossing powder. I die cut the flowers using the coordinating All the Happiness dies and adhered it to the lower right side of the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock and fussy cut the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the top left of the flowers.
Here is the second card that I made using the same products, but a slightly different color combination:
Card details:
The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock. I cut a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ piece of black cardstock and adhered it directly to the card base. Using Layer Plate A of the Viola Layering Plates, I die cut this layer from white cardstock. I adhered this intricate layer directly over the black cardstock. Using the All the Happiness stamp set, I stamped the flowers in Versamark ink on gold foil paper. I heat embossed the image with black embossing powder and used the coordinating All the Happiness dies to die cut the flowers out. I adhered the flowers to the lower right side of the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock and fussy cut the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the top left of the flowers.

Today it all about the die cutting! We are going to use the inlay die cutting technique while featuring three laying die sets. I will be using Dahlia Mini Frame, Field of Bloom, and Floral Star sets, but any se can be used!
Ok as always, let’s get started!
Lots of die cutting so I made sure I chose my colors from the beautiful color pallets of 6×6 paper pads by Memory Box and got my layers die cut and put together with my liquid adhesive. Now I made sure I cut an extra layer “a” for each of the design I chose and set that layer aside.
I chose my sentiments from the honey script die collection and only used the ‘cloud’ portion of the die set and cut into the layers I set aside where I wanted my sentiment to appear! Depending on the die set you used your top layer now may be two parts!
I then die cut my sentiments and layered those as well…
We are now ready to inlay our sentiments into our top panel!
All my panel designs were placed onto a standard A2 size (4 1/4in x 5 1/2in) top folding card base.
As always, I hope you enjoyed today’s project… and if you want to see more details just click on the video below and see how these projects come together step by step!

The project I have for today features the Lotus die but the A layer only, some glitter paper and some super cool wood grain paper.
I started by die cutting the Lotus Flower Layer A out of a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ panel of some wood grain paper as well as some glitter paper 6 x 6 glitter Holiday Glitter Pad. I know it isn’t anywhere near those normally sparkly holidays but this paper works any time of year!
After I die cut the two pieces I ink blended over the wood grain flower with some light pink ink and some more intense pink ink. I wanted to add some softness and color to this gorgeous flower.
I only used the outline from the glitter die cut. I layered it over the ink blended die cut image and inlaid it inside the original panel. What a beautiful way to finish a die cut design!
I heat embossed my sentiment and mounted it center below my die cut image. I mounted everything on a top folding A2 card base.
Thank you for stopping by and as I always say, Give Cards Generously!

Today’s project will be featuring the Petal Egg Layering Die Set! Grab some thread and let’s get gluing and stitching!
Ok as always, let’s get started! So, I started choosing my colors from the Memory Box 6×6 Solids Card Stock Pads, I went with soft pastels in yellow, green and pink. Die cut my pieces and layered them together using my liquid adhesive!
When these layers are together you can see a pattern of dots… There are perfect for hand stitching! I dug into my stash of 6 stranded floss and chose a white.
Usually, I would use the cross stitch but since the holes are not next to each other I went with a French Knot!
Once I was done my stitching, I placed my image on a white 3 ¾in x 5in panel and cut a matt 4 1/4in x 5 1/2in and set my design onto a standard A2 size (4 1/4in x 5 1/2in) top folding card panel.
My sentiment I chose is simple ‘happy’…

The faceted rectangle stamp in the Crystal Lingo clear stamp set is the perfect size for 8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ slimline cards.
For both of the my cards today I started off by white heat embossing the faceted rectangle from Crystal Lingo on to two panels of watercolour cardstock cut to 8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″.
TIP: When embossing on watercolour cardstock I always make sure I prep the paper well with my embossing buddy and I always double stamp my embossing ink.
I laid down a combination of Distress Ink and Distress Oxide inks on to my craft mat in a staggered rainbow. I used Kitsch Flamingo, Carved Pumpkin, and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide inks and Mustard Seed, Tumbled Glass and Shaded Lilac Distress ink.
I spritzed some water onto the mat and then put my panel facedown into the ink and picked it up right away. I did not smoosh the ink, just straight on and off. I dried the panel thoroughly and then went back to the mat and tapped the panel around putting on a second layer. I spritzed a bit of water on my panel where the Distress Inks were to disperse them a bit more.
Once again I dried the panel thoroughly and went back to the mat one more time but before tapping down I spritzed the craft mat a bit more to reactivate the ink and did one final layer by tapping the panel on the craft mat. I stamped and die cut the Big Lingo Type Thanks die in white and black and attached it to the card with foam adhesive!
The second panel was actually the first panel but a little bit of Frayed Burlap was all it took to muddy up my rainbow.
Rather than toss it away I kind of liked the masculine vibe that the brown gave to the card. So I did the same as I did for the other card.
I dried it and added more ink until I had three layers! I die cut the Big Lingo Type Thanks using only the detailed die three times for the sentiment. I adhered the three layers together to give the die cut some stability. Trust me this takes some patience–lol! I adhered the die cut directly to the card front.
It’s so much fun to take an image like this, emboss it and then have some fun with your inks. This technique can be done with most inks and of course a little bit of water.
Thanks so much for joining me today and we’ll see you next time!
For today, let’s stretch our dies! We will be creating 3 cards using 3 different techniques featuring the Field of Blooms layering die set!
For my supplies I dug into my stash of scraps or card stock and backgrounds and found a couple that were perfect! I also using the new memory box card stock paper pads!
I took care of all my die cutting and set my pieces aside…
Card 1 For this card I only used the bottom layer of this die set! In this case that is Layer C and cut out the image form a piece of white card stock. I grabbed two colored pencils and had fun just adding some simple accents on the leaves! The panel under the die cut was a color to fill in the tulip part of the die!
Card 2 Here is used all die cutting panel and chose three different solid card stocks as my colors! Just using simple colors of card stock this panel comes to life with each layer!
Card 3 Finally, while digging into my stash of background I found this gorgeous ink smooshed background. I added some splatters and started layering. Now the ink smooshed background was the solid base, no die cutting there. I then layered with Layer B using green card stock and then Layer A using cream card stock. However, when I added the second layer, I shifted it to the right under the top panel!
Once all my panels were glued together, I cut all my sentiments using the honey script collection. The sentiments I chose have the cloud background and I cut that out using vellum card stock and cut the sentiment themselves three times to add even more dimension!

Today I am excited to be sharing a sweet and simple card with all of you that features the new Field of Blooms layering die set! This layering die set is perfect for the upcoming season! In today’s card, I’ve used it a bit differently because I love finding unconventional ways to use things – not to mention how much I love sharing ways to stretch your supplies! Let’s get started!
Although this layering set consists of 3 plates, I only used Layer A to create this card! I began by die cutting it once in heavyweight white cardstock and once each in green, coral, and yellow cardstock – making sure to keep all of the negative pieces to use for the inlay – then adhered the white layer onto a white A2-sized card base.
Next, I added a row of colored tulips, using liquid adhesive to inlay the green negative pieces for the leaves and the yellow and coral negative pieces for the tulips. Since I love a clean, white background, I chose to make a single row of tulips but if you wish to add more tulips to the panel, I’d recommend using a low tack tape such as PostIt or PressNSeel to keep all of the negative pieces together.
For the sentiment, I die cut the Big Hugs Sugar Script die three times in white cardstock, heat embossed one of them in gold, then stacked all three together, adhering it to the panel with liquid glue. For the sub-sentiment, I heat embossed the ‘You are special to me’ stamp from the Crystal Lingo clear stamp set and adhered it to the panel with foam squares.
That’s it! Simple right? This is just one of the ways to use this great layering die set, and the best part is that you have plenty of die cuts leftover that you can use to add some color to other cards! Thank you so much for stopping by! Until next time!
