  • Floral Balloon Birthday Wishes | By Natasha Vacca

    Hi crafty friends! I am excited to be back up on the blog today! Today I am sharing a bright and colorful birthday wishes card using the Floral Balloon layering dies! I adore these beautiful balloon dies and there is so much you can do with this set! I had fun creating a bright and colorful card using this set! So let’s get started!

    I started by die cutting each layer of the Floral Balloon set. I started by die cutting layer C (solid balloon) on white card stock. I then cut layer B using the Memory Box Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad using a black piece of card stock from this pad. I love the subtle shine on this paper. I then cut layer A using white card stock. I repeated this process 2 times for each ballon.

    Next I adhered both layer B and C together on the balloons using a liquid adhesive. I then wanted to add a bit more color to layer A on the balloon. I used a combination of acrylic sprays and set them aside to dry. Once they were dry, I adhered layer A on top and my balloons were complete!

    Next I chose a background for my colorful balloons! I chose a gelli print from my stash! I love the added pop of color behind my balloons with a bit of texture! I trimmed my background and then adhered this to an A2 card base.

    Next it was time to create my sentiment. I am using the beautiful Sugar Script Make a Wish set. I love the font on this set and it adds a whimsical touch to my card. I die cut the base layer in white card stock. Then I die cut the script inner layer 3 times using a white card stock. I then adhered the inner word layers together using liquid glue. Next I heat embossed the sentiment to add more texture to my card. Finally I glued this to the shadow layer.

    To complete my card I added twine to my balloons by adhering the twine to the back of each balloon with a piece of tape. Once I determined the placement for the balloons I trimmed the excess of the yellow and green balloon with my paper trimmer. I then adhered the balloons to the card front using both liquid glue and foam tape. I added the sentiment to the bottom of the card front using foam tape carefully placing the twine behind the letters!

    I had so much fun with these balloons! They are such an adorable set and create such fun birthday cards for family and friends! Thank you so much for stopping by today! I will be back soon!

  • Layered Triangle Slimline | By Allison Frazier

    Layered Triangle Slimline | By Allison Frazier

    Hello, Everyone! If any of you have wished for a birthday greeting that would stretch across a slimline card, then the Birthday Wishes Sugar Script die set is for you! I paired the greeting with the Petal Triangle Layer die set, which also fills up a slimline card when you use it in an unexpected way.

    I started off by creating my slimline card base out of white card stock – it measures 3.5″ x 8.5″. I then started die cutting my triangles. I used each of the layer dies to create four die cuts – Layer A from white card stock, Layer B from peach card stock, and Layer C from mint card stock. I assembled all of these with liquid glue to create four layered triangles. Once assembled, I cut one of the triangles in half.

    I glued the triangles across the top of my card base, flipping the orientation of each one. The triangle that I had cut in half filled in the corners of each side just perfectly. I then cut the birthday wishes greeting, using mint card stock for the shadow and both white and peach card stock for the words. I layered the white words over the peach words, creating a bit of a drop shadow effect, and then glued those onto the mint shadows. I love how this repeated the same layering as the triangles.

    To finish the card, I scattered a few peach butterflies that I made using the new Simple Butterfly Contour Layers set.

    Thank you so much for joining us today. I hope this card brings a smile to your face.

    Wishing you a crafty day,
    Allison

    Eucalyptus Stems & Berries | By Dilay Nacar

    Hello, crafty friends! Dee here today sharing a card that features one of my favorite new die sets, Eucalyptus Stem and Berries Contour Layers, combined with the new Vintage Pastel Mirror Paper pad! Let’s get started!

    To create the base, I embossed an A2-sized white panel using the Memory Box Blooming embossing folder, then splattered it with metallic gold watercolor paint, setting it aside to dry. 

    Next, I cut each of the stems and berries three times, using the lovely new Vintage Pastel Mirror Paper pad for the base and regular cardstock for the detail dies. Once complete, I adhered the pieces together. 

    Once the panel was dry, I adhered the stems to it using thin foam tape (trimming off any excess) then adhered the berries, cutting some apart to scatter throughout the stems.

    For the sentiment, I die cut the Sugar Script ‘hello’ from the gold paper included in the Vintage Pastel Mirror Paper pad, then adhered it to the bottom corner. As a finishing touch, I added Memory Box Clear Fairy Drops embellishments and mounted the card onto a top-folding card base!

    Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed reading more about my card today!

    Vintage Pimpernels | By Allison Frazier

    Hello, Friends! Today I am sharing this card featuring the new Pimpernel Contour Layers die set with a vintage inspired color combination. This card is part of our current Instagram Hop! If you haven’t yet participated in the hop, click here to head over to Instagram for your chance at winning one of our new floral layering die sets. Comments close today (Tuesday) March 22 11:59 pm EST, so there is still time!

    I started my card by dry embossing the Flora Plate Layer C die onto a panel of teal card stock. I then inked up part of the panel with some darker teal ink in order to create a glow in the center. I splattered the panel with gold paint and then adhered it to a parchment colored A2 card base.

    I used the Pimpernel die to cut the two main parts of the flower from a light orange card stock. I inked the top layer with a darker orange ink and then inked the edges of the bottom layer with white pigment ink to create a bit more contrast. I used gold foil card stock for the small middle piece of the flower, the top layer of the leaves, and the “hello” sentiment. To give the flowers even more dimension, I used a stylus tool and popped them up on foam tape.

    Thank you so much for joining us today. I hope this card brings a smile to your face.

    Wishing you a crafty day,

    Fresh Floral Wreath | By Dilay Nacar

    Happy Monday, crafty friends! Dee here today sharing this fresh floral card featuring the Star Flowers dies from the latest Floral Contour Layers collection! 

    I started by cutting Layer A, B, and C of the Petal Triangle dies twice, then adhered them (mirrored) onto a piece of white cardstock that I cut down to 5.5” x 4.25”.

    Next, I cut layers A, B, and C of the Tranquility Layer die (saving the center circle for a future project, then adhered it to the center of the two triangles. 

    I cut the Star Flowers Contour Layer dies twice in yellow cardstock and once in coral. I layered each flower then adhered them together and onto the Tranquility frame. Next, I die-cut leaves from the Dainty Rose and Leaves dies set in shades of teal then adhered them tucked behind the flowers. 

    For the sentiment, I die cut the Handwritten Hugs in gold glitter cardstock and adhered it to the card with foam tape. As a finishing touch, I added embellishments in coordinating colors to the center of each flower!

  • Colorful Blooms | by Natasha Vacca

    Colorful Blooms | by Natasha Vacca

    Welcome crafty friends! It is Natasha here today and I am so excited to share a card using the beautiful Pimpernel Contour Layers die set. These beautiful flowers are a part of the latest release from Birch Press Designs! So let’s get started!

    To begin, I started by creating colorful backgrounds on watercolor card stock. I used powders to create different colored backgrounds. You can create a similar effect using any types of watercolors or inks within your stash. I then allowed my backgrounds to dry. Once my backgrounds are dry, I started to die cut my flowers and my leaves using the Pimpernel Contour layers set, as well as the Eucalyptus Stem and Berries die sets. Once all my layers are die cut I then adhered them together using liquid glue. I then set them aside.

    Next I die cut the adorable butterfly from the colored background panels I created earlier. I die cut the smallest butterfly from the Simple Butterfly Contour Layers die set. I then adhered this together using liquid glue. Next I wanted to add some detail and texture to my background. I die cut Layer C from the Viola Plate Layer set. I love these layered sets, as these layers can work beautifully together, as well as on their own. I die cut Layer C and then adhered this to an A2 card panel.

    Once my background panel was adhered I started to work on placement of my flowers, butterfly, and leaves. I then adhered these down using both liquid glue and foam tape.

    To complete the card I die cut the Handwritten Thanks sentiment. I die cut the shadow using white card stock. Then I die cut the script (Thanks) 3 times. I die cut this 2 times using white card stock, then a 3rd time using the Memory Box Vintage Pastel Mirror paper pad. This collection of mirror card stock is so beautiful! I then adhered the 3 layers together using my fine tip glue and adhered this to the shadow die cut.

    Once everything was adhered, I added a little more shine using the Fairy Jewels in the color Pastel. Thank you so much for stopping by today! I had a lot of fun creating a colorful thank you card using the beautiful new Contour Layers die sets!

    I will be back soon!

  • Winter Berries | By Allison Frazier

    Winter Berries | By Allison Frazier

    Hello, Friends! It was a snowy weekend here in Colorado, so I decided to make a wintery card. I love how versatile the new floral contour die sets are – they work for every season and every occasion.

    I started by die cutting the berries from the Eucalyptus Stem and Berries die set from a dark red card stock. I glued those onto the little matching branches that I had cut from brown card stock. I then swiped a bit of white pigment ink over the berries to lighten them up. I cut a second set of berries from the same red card stock and then glued those on top. The lighter color underneath gives a nice highlight. For the leaves, I used the smaller set of leaves from the Dainty Rose and Leaves die set and cut those from mint green card stock. I ink blended the top layers of those leaves with Evergreen Bough Distress Ink to give them more dimension.

    My card base started as a chocolate brown A2 card base. I tried to ink blend some dark brown ink around the edges to create a bit of highlight in the middle, but I ended up having to go a bit darker and used some Black Soot Distress Oxide. The effect is pretty subtle and much more obvious in person. After glueing the berries and leaves directly to the card base, I then splattered the whole thing with some white acrylic paint. I finished the card with one of my favorite word dies – the Big Joy Sugar Script die.

    Thank you so much for joining us today. I really love how this card turned out, especially the paint splatter. I hope it brought a smile to your face.

    Wishing you a crafty day,
    Allison

  • Birthday Peony | by Crystal Komara

    Birthday Peony | by Crystal Komara

    Hello readers! This is Design Team member Crystal Komara here with you today sharing another way to use the Adornment Peony dies. Last week on Valentine’s Day, I shared this very traditional card using the same dies and today I chose to create a very different look using alcohol inks as the focal point behind the outline dies.

    Card details:

    The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. Using Layer Plate B of the Flora Layering set, I die cut this layer from white cardstock and adhered it to the base of the card.

    For the alcohol ink peony: On a 4″ x 6″ piece of Yupo Paper, I added drops of raspberry and sherbet alcohol inks and blew the ink around. Then I added drops of lime and citrus alcohol ink. Once this dried, I used the base shadow layer of the Adornment Peony dies to die cut the base out. On white cardstock, I die cut the top layer of the Adornment Peony (notice the white shadow outline around the flowers). I adhered this thin outline die using a fine tip liquid glue.

    I adhered the peonies to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. Lastly I stamped the sentiment “happy birthday” in pink ink on white cardstock. This sentiment is from the Contempo Greetings stamp set. I die cut the sentiment using the coordinating Contempo Greetings dies. I adhered the sentiment to the lower left corner also using 3M foam adhesive for added height.

    I hope you have enjoyed today’s card. Thank you for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

  • Layered Rose Hello | by Toni M Maddox

    Layered Rose Hello | by Toni M Maddox

    Hello, everyone! Toni here with you today. I was so excited to play with the products in the latest release. I am in love and have so many ideas in my head using them!

    I started today’s card by diecutting the Fuddled Leaf Branches Contour Layers as well as the Winsome Rose & Leaves Contour Layers. I used papers from the MB Vintage Pastel Mirror and Lush Green 6×6 Pads. That pastel mirror/pearlescent paper is to die for!

    I noticed the Fuddled Leaf Branches negative diecut would make an awesome stencil so I used it with Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn on the card base then started playing around with the layout of the blooms and stems.

    I wanted a really full look so I added diecuts of Tiny Tuft Flowers & Leaves Contour Layers, Eucalyptus Stem & Berries Contour Layers and the Dainty Rose & Leave Contour Layers. I used more of the Vintage Pastel Mirror and Lush Green papers, adding a bit of Festive Glitter to boot.

    For the sentiment I used the Big Hello Sugar Script layered dies. I tied it all together using a few black Fairy Jewels.

    I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!

  • Clean And Simple Eucalyptus | By Seeka

    Clean And Simple Eucalyptus | By Seeka

    Hello and welcome! Seeka here and today and I’m sharing a clean and simple card featuring the Eucalyptus Stem and Berries Contour Layers die set.

    I started off by die cutting two sets of the base layer of eucalyptus leaves from a light blue cardstock. Then, I die cut the detail pieces from a sage cardstock. I glued the small sage pieces to the base layers and then set them aside.

    Next, I cut the base layer of the berries die from the same sage cardstock and I cut the berries from a very pale pink cardstock. I glued the berries to the base layer and then set the piece aside.

    For the sentiment, I used the Hello Topper die set. I cut the detail sentiment from a mustard yellow cardstock and cut the shadow layer from white cardstock.

    I used a rounded rectangle die form my stash to cut a panel of white cardstock and also to cut the shadow layer of the sentiment. Using foam tape, I adhered the sentiment shadow layer to the bottom of the rounded rectangle and then I added the leaves and berries, gluing them down and using foam tape to add a bit of dimension behind some leaves.

    To finish, I used foam tape to adhere the rounded rectangle piece to an A2-sized card base.

    Thank you so much for visiting!
