Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

For today’s project lets have some fun with the Petal Triangle Layering Die Set! Just by setting your layers in different angles we can get many cards just from one die…

Let’s get to cutting our die cuts – and there will be lots of them! I settled on two color families, a warm and cool! Then of course we need to get all these wonderful die cuts together, and yes, we do that with our liquid adhesive!

I then cut two panels measuring 4 ¼ in x 5 ½ and one panel measuring 4in x 4in and another 5 ½ in x 5 ½ in and grabbed three of my oxide inks and a blending brush. Each panel was ink blended in a different way based on how I was going to place the triangles.

For our first card, let’s place the triangles on the top and the bottom of the card front! I made sure the ink blending was along the same edge of the panel… before I attached my triangles, I made sure I stamped my sentiment,

For our second card, let’s place the triangles in opposite corners of our card front! Made the ink blending a little heavier on those corners as well! Got the sentiment in place again before I attached my triangles…

For our final card… just a little more was added… I took the larger panel and ink blended around all four edges. I then used the small panel to place my triangles together to actually make a square! The design is absolutely gorgeous when we match each of the layered triangles together! I stamped my sentiment onto a separate piece of card stock and placed in the center of the panel…

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!

Hello, crafty friends! It’s Leigh here, am so excited to be here with my first blog post for Birch Press Design! I am here today sharing a spring-inspired butterfly card I made using pretty patterned paper and wash tape. This card came together so easily using Birch Press Design’s Butterfly Garden Layering Dies.

I used Layer Plate C to make this card. I started by die cutting a panel out of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock. I used Copic markers to do some quick and simple coloring on the leaves and flowers.

To add some extra texture and dimension, I then added some hand stitching. This is so simple… I simply used a small embroidery needle and two strands of embroidery floss to stitch through the stitching lines created by the die. At this point, I adhered the stitched panel to a pink base and added my leaves.

Then came my favorite part of making this card… the butterflies! I made these using a gorgeous patterned paper from Memory Box’s Cottage Meadow 6×6 patterned paper pack and some washi tape. To make the washi tape butterflies, I took strips of washi tape and adhered them to some thin cardstock. I then die cut through the strips.

To make it look like the butterflies are flying, I folded them in half lengthwise and adhered them to the panel along that fold line.

To finish the card, I added some flower sequins, some washi tape flowers (made the same way as the butterflies), some colored dots I made with the white dots cut from the original panel, and a sentiment from Birch Press Designs’ Lovely Butterflies Stamp Set.

I had such fun creating this card! Thanks so much for stopping by today, and see you soon!

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

For today let’s make some shaker cards using vellum and only one of the layers from the Calen Layering Die Set!

As always let’s start by cutting our cardstock, shaker back panels (4 in x 5 ¼ in), shaker front panel (4 in x 5 ¼ in) and vellum panels (3 7/8 in x 5 1/8 in) and set those pieces aside while we set up our shaker panels…

Using my liquid adhesive, I place my vellum piece and add my double-sided foam tape double layered…

For your shaker component you can chose any elements or bits to have in your opening and spread them around so they are flat in this area. Remove your release paper from your foam tape carefully and then add your back panel and shake away! Be careful you may do this for a while… LOL

Now it is time to add our die cut! By only using one layer we get to see the full beauty of the shaker element on our card!

I grabbed my standard A2 size top folding card base and placed my shaker panel using my liquid adhesive. And there we go 4 shaker cards in no time!

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!

Hello! Today I’m excited to introduce the new Vivid Bloom Stitched Layer Set available now at Birch Press Design! So many wonderful things can be done with nested dies, and this set has 6 sizes to offer endless possibilities!

The video (linked below) shows how I created frames using the dies, and also put a subtle texture into the background using the Leafy Jumble stencil and transparent texture paste.

The new Hello and Hugs Honey Script dies each come with the letters and a background die. For today’s project, I used the letters without the background. Several were stacked on top of each other for extra depth to the letters. I went over it with a shimmer pen, topped off with glossy accents. I love, love, love this script!

Creating frames from nested dies is just one way to use them – really, the possibilities are endless and I can’t wait to share more ideas! Enjoy the video and have a great day!

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

For today I am going to make a Valentine’s Day Card featuring the Folk Art Heart Layering Die!

Let’s start by cutting our layering dies in the cardstock colors you chose. Once they are cut I then grab the same colors and cut my squares using my paper trimmer. For these I start with a 4 ¼ inch square and decrease each cut by ¼ inch. I create four of these.

While we are getting everything ready, let’s add our sentiment, and for this project I chose a sentiment from the Lingo Thanks Stamp Set!

Using my liquid adhesive, I start layering all my pieces that have been cut!

I used a Standard A2 Size top folding card base (4 ¼ inch x 5 ½ inch) for my card and arranged my pieces.

Added a few drops for embellishment!

Hello! With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, it might be time to make some fast, simple cards! Birch Press Design has you covered with this quick, easy Valentine. I am sending out many cards this year. It’s such a great time to tell close friends and family that I love them! With a large family, it was important to have a simple design. This is it!

I die cut the Cherish Layer A several times out of white and different glitter cardstocks. Check out the video below for tips on coloring glitter paper if you don’t have colors! I also used a dotted embossing folder to add some extra texture to the white layer.

The Simple Hearts, which are nested heart dies, were used to cut a large heart out of vellum, and a smaller one for the inside to match the band. The Handwritten Love You went on the top of all layers. Make sure to watch this short video for more detailed views of this card being made:
