Have you checked out the new releases in the store? You’re going to love all the new products including dies, stamps and STENCILS! Today I’m sharing a card made with the new Stargazer die!
When I saw it for the first time I kept seeing a color wheel! I couldn’t wait to start playing with it so add lots of beautiful colors!
I started by cutting the Stargazer Layer A from white card stock and adhering it to the Stargazer Layer C die cut.
Next I flipped it over and added double sided adhesive foam tape to the back.
Next I inserted colorful die cut card stock pieces inside the openings. The adhesive foam tape provides some hold but you will still need to add glue over the white card stock to hold the cuts in place. The tape gives you a steady surface to adhere to and allows you to stick the finished Stargazer to your card base.
I embellished my card with enamel dots so you can see the added dimension from the foam. The dots are slid under the raised Stargazer die cut.
The center star cuts are in rainbow order with the outer circle filled with variations (lighter and darker shades) of the center colors.
The Simple Peace word die comes with an outline (cut from gold here) and a detailed (cut from white) word die cut. I love that I can stack the die cuts or just use the letters if I like.

Birch Press Design makes the most beautiful, innovative dies on the market. They’re layering dies make elegance easy. The focal point of my design – that gorgeous wreath – is actually five layers of colorful card stock. I cut the Layers A through D with ombre shades of green card stock. The base that the wreath sits on – the Mandala Circle Base – is cut from red card stock adding a pop of red to the green layers.
The Morning Cup die from Poppystamps is cut from gold foil and layered over ivory card stock. I decorated the cup with leaves left behind from cutting the wreaths. It reminds me of the Lenox Holiday Collection china. Don’ you just love that big dollop of whipped cream over the coffee/cocoa?
I love the different shades of green revealed through each layer of the die cut openings.
The background is a panel of aqua card stock topped with the largest Tall Triangle die cut from a lighter shade of aqua card stock. The Simple Joy word die includes a background die (cut from white) and the clean outline letters (cut from red). The background die is embossed so placing the skinny detailed letters is easy.

Hello! Today I got to make two very fun cards that I’ve been excited to make for a long time. I’m so glad I waited, because the new 
When die cutting the patterned paper for the little hexagon inlays, it was so much fun to see what pieces came through. I love cards that have the depth of really looking into the details. There are so many fun things to look at. (I love the crab peeking out of the hexagon above).
Layering dies give limitless look and feel to cards because of the color combination, layering, and inlaying options. Using the same color for all of the butterfly layers really put the focus on texture.
The thought behind the “miss you” card is very sentimental… the “Miss You” from the 
I glued only the center of the butterfly so the wings would sit off the base. A few jewels were added to the butterfly.
Many of these layering dies would work for this general idea and any of the Prima paper pads offer incredible, small details that are perfectly sized for the hexagons. The thank you card uses the beautiful
