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!

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!

Make sure you stay tuned for more wonderful projects coming soon! Have a great day and always remember… Be Creative!

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:

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

For today let’s make a trio of hearts for our Valentine’s Day Card!

Let’s start by cutting our cardstock making sure we have three of each die. For the Hearts I chose the traditional red, pink and white, but the card base I went with a deep teal. While I had my die cutting machine out I made sure my sentiment was cut also.

Using my liquid adhesive, I layered all my die cuts together.

I grabbed my standard A2 size top folding card base and a slightly smaller panel of the same color cut to 4 in x 5 ¼ in. Checked my placement of my hearts and sentiment to ensure they would fit on my panel and card base so I would not have to cut any excess.

Used my liquid adhesive to set my die cuts in place and used my pearl embellishments to accent each of the hearts!

Hello! I’m so excited to share today’s project! The gorgeous Flora Heart Layer Set is the focal image of the card, of course, but it’s also a refrigerator magnet that can be removed and used.

For the background, I traced the outline of the heart onto watercolor paper, and watercolored a background piece. I’ll show two ideas for this in the video. I chose to watercolor because I love how the colors mix, but many different mediums could be used to create endless color combinations. It could even be made to match the recipient’s kitchen. Great gift idea for sending a Valentine to a friend, or a congrats to a new home.

My fridge is white, but this would look stunning on a stainless steel fridge! In the video below, I’ll show you my favorite, extra strong magnets to use, and how I put this together. It’s such a fun, easy project! Many, many of the Birch Press dies would work for this project. Go through your stash and have FUN!

Hey crafters,
today I am on the blog featuring a card with no stamping. Pretty easy to do when using the layers from Birch Press dies I have to say. I love this Regal Peacock and I’ve been meaning to use it for quite some time now.

In today’s video I show you how to use this die in 3 different ways – normally, as an in-laid die cut and. lastly in between other dies.

I tried to use elegant colours for the peacock and tried to be creative by not using the standard colours. So I chose some holographic cardstock, golds and blacks.

I added in the Big Sugar Birthday Script die in between the die cut for a fun look and birthday card.

Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

For today’s project we will be using the Bevel Edge Layering Dies to create our Valentine’s Day Cards! The twist is in the colors we shall use! Not every Valentine’s Day Card has to be in Red, Pink and White, right? LOL…

As always, we start by cutting our die cuts out and getting them ready our liquid glue assembly line… to get our layers together… But again, let’s choose colors that are against the norm… For one I added an aqua color and the other a lime green!

Since these dies are separated, they are made to work with each other but they can also work separately!

Once I have my die cuts layered and set onto my standard A2 size card panel let’s add our sentiment. For this I am using the Honey Script LOVE Sentiment Die Set!

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!
