Hi friends, Eloise here and today I’ll be using the Adora Layer Set along with the Big Lingo Type Hello Die to create a ‘Hello’ themed card. I’ll be using the insides of the Adora Layer Set instead of the frames to create the heart ‘wreaths’.

I started off with die cutting each of the Adora Layers from different shades of pink cardstock and layering up the hearts from the dies into the wreath shape. I used the die as a guide to adhere them down exactly how they come within the die. I started off with the larger heart first and worked my way up to the smallest.

Once I had adhered all my hearts together, I decided to also adhere the middle piece as well to create a more full design.

For my sentiment, I die cut the Lingo Hello from red and white and adhered them together. Since they got lost within the hearts, I freehand cut to banners, one from black and one from kraft and adhered them together as well.

Lastly, I added adhesive onto the back of the ‘Hello’ word and adhered it on top of the banner and also added foam tape onto the back of the banners and adhered them into the centre of my heart design.

Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you next time.

Our Adora Layer set is one of our favorites! Add it to a greeting when you want intricate and loving details. The sentiment is from our Lingo Thanks Stamp set – which pairs perfectly with the You Sugar Script die!

So Thankful
The Kaleidoscope Heart really dazzles on this artful card! Tone on tone layers inside a heart shape are a stunning backdrop for the Thanks Sugar Script Die.

Hello again! I’m so glad to be back today showcasing a different way to use your dies that utilizes your scraps and turns them into treasure. Let’s get started with this video tutorial featured on my YouTube channel:

I love being able to use my scraps, and when I can do it in a way that the scraps are the focus of the project, that’s even better. The Butterfly Garden Die Plate set is one of the most versatile sets that I’ve seen from Birch Press. Plate “C” can be used alone as it offers such great detail in those stitched swirls and details, but also the butterfly cuts can be used in such beautiful ways in other cards and with other products as well. I decided to use the largest and smallest size butterfly dies in my project today.

I decided to use patterned paper for my “A” plate, but you could definitely use a solid color, or make your own watercolor panel and use that! For my “C” plate, I used vellum and then adhered the smaller butterflies to the larger ones just in the center and then curled the smaller wings to give dimension and interest. I thought this added a lot of whimsy to the card, almost like the butterflies were in flight.

It’s tough to see, but I added score lines every half an inch to my card front to add a little more interest without adding color or too much detail as I wanted the butterflies and the Big Friend Sugar Script die to be the focus of the card.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed learning a bit about how I used my scraps to create this beautifully simple card for any occasion. I’d love to know ways that you use your scraps from Birch Press dies as well! Comment below to give me more ideas. -ha! I’ll see you again very soon!

Hello, there crafters! Ashlea here. I’m thrilled to be on the blog today sharing some of my favorite tips for jazzing up a clean and simple card. I love creating CAS cards, but I often find myself wishing there was something I could add to help it be a little more elevated. Check out my YouTube video below to see how I created this fun yet clean and simple card:

Before adhering my Kaleidoscope Heart layers A, B and C, I created score lines into my card front cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″. This is one of my favorite tricks for adding interest to a clean and simple card. It brings such detail without adding too much texture or any color at all. I then adhered my layers, C first, then B, and finally A to my card front. I used the sentiment “You Mean The World To Me” from the Lingo Thanks stamp set and embossed it in white embossing powder on a black piece of card stock.

This is another great way to add some interest and contrast to a CAS card. Finally, after adhering my card front to my A2 sized base (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) I used iridescent gems on each of the small circle cut outs in the center portion of the heart. I love the sparkle this added to the card and love that it adds a small amount of color based upon how the light hits the card.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed learning a bit about how I created this card and my favorite tips for elevating a CAS style. Thank you so much for stopping by today and I’ll see you again very soon!

Kaleidoscope Heart
We love the brand new Kaleidoscope heart die and think you will too – create a colorful combination on a card for someone special!

It’s New Year’s Eve!   I hope you’re rested and ready to stay up late to ring in 2019!  Today I’m playing with the Petal Burst Stencil from the store because the finished card reminds me of a firework!

There’s loads of new stencils in the store to work with.  You can see them all here.   The color combinations are only limited to your imagination.   I used only four colors of distress ink – Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Spiced Pumpkin and Candied Apple.
I started by cutting a panel of white card stock the same size as the stencil (6×6″).  I adhered the panel to my glass craft mat with double sided tape.   Then I taped the stencil over the panel with removable wash tape and inked Candied Apple in all four openings.   Next I wiped the stencil with a cloth to remove any excess ink, rotated the stencil, adhered it in place and inked the Spiced Pumpkin.
The stencil has marks etched into the plastic to help you align each turn of the petals.
When all the layers were inked and dried I cut the panel to 5″ square and adhered it to a 5.25″ square card base.

I attached a glue dot to the center of the inked panel and carefully arranged gold twine in a flower panel to the card base.  The sticky string center is covered with a Big Hello Sugar Script die cut sentiment.   Additional gold enamel dots were added to keep the twine in place and add extra glimmer.
Wishing you a healthy and happy 2019!  And in case you missed it..
Better hurry!  Today is the last day of our After Christmas Sale!

Hi everyone, I hope you have had fantastic Christmas!

The project I have created today is a little home decor piece. These New Year banners are really easy to create – it’s the intricate shape of the die that makes them so special and unique. Once you have all the elements die cut you can put the entire project together really quickly.

I have used some triangle dies from the latest Birch Press release as well as the number set. I have layered the intersecting triangles, then added them to an embossed triangle banner base and mounted the last small triangle with a letter on top of everything. Then all there is left to do is to add some sequins and a ribbon!

Watch the step by step video tutorial if you want to know how to create this project step by step!

Have a very special, bright and inspirational Year 2019!!! Hooray! Happy New Year!
