Welcome back, friends! Dee here and today, I’m sharing a fun card featuring the Dazzle Mini Frame Die, but used for a traditional A2-sized card! I absolutely love the diversity of these layering dies! Let’s get started!
I began with an A2-sized base and die cut all layers (A, B, and C) of the Dazzle Mini Frame Die, twice. I wanted to add a bit of color to the frames so I placed Layer C onto a splat box and sprayed it with shades of purple, teal, and blue acrylic paint. Once dry, I adhered the frame together then onto the A2-base, side-by-side, to create a full panel.
Next, I die cut the Big Sugar Script Thanks in white and repeated the same steps as above, this time spraying the shadow layer with acrylic paint. Once dry, I adhered the white ‘thanks’ to the shadow, then the completed sentiment onto the center of the frames, with foam square adhesive. To finish, I mounted the card onto an A2-sized top-folding base.
I hope that you enjoyed these variations using the Dazzle Mini Frame Die! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Welcome, friends! Dee here and today, I’m sharing a simple and vibrant slimline card featuring the new Dazzle Mini Frame Die! Let’s get started!
First, I created the base by cutting a piece of white cardstock down to 3” x 8.5” and ink-blending it with Distress Oxide inks. In this case, I used a combination: Candy Apple, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, and Squeezed Lemonade.
Next, I die cut layers A, B, and C of the Dazzle Mini Frame die layers two times in white cardstock, making two complete frames, then adhered them (mirrored) onto the base.
For the sentiment, I die cut the Thanks Honey Script die and shadow in white and ink blended the shadow with the same Distress Oxide ink colors as before. I adhered the word die to the shadow then adhered that, centered, between the two frames. For the sub sentiment, I heat embossed ‘my friend’ from the Happy Lingo stamp set and adhered it underneath the main sentiment with foam squares. To finish, I adhered the panel to a top-folding slimline card base!
I hope that you enjoyed my card showcasing this beautiful new frame die, and are inspired to create one of your own! Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hello and welcome! Seeka here and today I’m sharing a card featuring the Arista Layer Die set. I really like the detail in the middle layer of this set!
I began by cutting out the three layers of the medallion. The top layer is from a metallic rose cardstock, the middle layer is from a very soft pink cardstock, and the bottom layer is from a grapefruit pink cardstock.
Using a blending brush, I blended a peach colored ink into the middle of the bottom layer. Then I adhered the three layers together.
Next, I used the Handwritten Hugs And Outline die to cut the sentiment from the grapefruit cardstock. I placed the sentiment onto the sticky side of a piece of Post-It tape to hold it in place while I blended some of the same peach ink onto the bottom half of the sentiment. Then, I cut the sentiment’s shadow layer from the light pink cardstock and adhered the two pieces together.
To assemble the card, I cut an A2-sized piece of white cardstock and an A2-sized piece of the light pink cardstock. I trimmed 3/8″ off the length and width of the white cardstock and adhered it to the light pink cardstock. Then I trimmed off a little bit of the medallion, backed it with foam tape, and adhered it to the white cardstock. Next, I adhered the sentiment with a bit of foam tape and glue. To finish, I adhered the card front to a card base.
Hello friends and happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. This is Crystal Komara here with you today sharing two cards using the Torus Ring Die by Birch Press Design in monochromatic colors to create some cheerful greeting cards. I’ll admit that I didn’t love this geometric shaped die initially, but after creating these cards, I’m now giving it a second chance!
The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. I die cut just Layer Plate A from the Viola Layering Plates out of white cardstock and adhered it directly to my card base using Lineco ph bookbinding glue, my go-to liquid adhesive.
I die cue the Torus Ring outline from white cardstock. Using the second small die in the Torus Ring set, I die cut various pieces of blue paper that I adhered behind the white frame. I adhered the entire Torus Ring to the card with 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. For the sentiment I used the Big Hello Sugar Script die. This is a two-piece layering word die that creates a shadowlike effect. I die cut the large base layer from white cardstock and the top layer from blue cardstock. I adhered both layers together with liquid glue and then adhered the entire sentiment to the card using 3M foam adhesive.
I added the word “hello friend” from the Ticker Tape stamp set. I stamped the sentiment in blue ink and fussy cut the block outline. I adhered this sentiment below the word “hello” with 3M foam adhesive.
I die cut the Torus Ring outline from white cardstock. Using the second small die in the Torus Ring set, I die cut various pieces of pink paper that I adhered behind the white frame.

I die cut the large base layer from white cardstock and the top layer from pink cardstock. I adhered both layers together with liquid glue and then adhered the entire sentiment to the card using 3M foam adhesive.
I added the word “thank you” from the Ticker Tape stamp set. I stamped the sentiment in pink ink and fussy cut the block outline. I adhered this sentiment below the word “hello” with 3M foam adhesive.
I hope you have enjoyed today’s cards and hopefully I have inspired you to step outside of your comfort zone, because that’s when amazing things can happen! Thank you for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
Hello everyone. It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook joining you today with card featuring a few of the newest products in the shop!
This new butterfly basics die set is absolutely amazing! There are so many possibilities, I feel like I could be making butterflies for ages without duplicating anything! Let’s get started on today’s card.
From white cardstock I die cut the starburst layers and radial pinpoint plate first.
Next, I pulled out the butterfly basics and die cut the pieces shown from white cardstock as well. There are two body sizes in the same die for the butterflies so I just put the one I didn’t use back in the envelope for next time.
Next I grabbed my blending brushes and some dye inks and inked up the solid butterfly die cut.
I used liquid glue and adhered the starburst layers together along with assembling the butterfly.
I chose the handwritten thanks die for my sentiment on this card. I cut the shadow once and the word 3 times. I used ink left in my blending brushes and inked up the top layer of the word die so it stands out just a little. Then I used liquid glue to adhere the layers all together.
For assembly, I used liquid glue to adhere the radial background to a white card base, then the starburst to that. I put one foam square in the middle of the butterfly body and stuck it down a little off center of the starburst.
Last, I added the thanks sentiment to the bottom right and finished things off with a scattering of fairy drops in all three sizes.
Be sure to head to the shop and take a look at the new products! There are lots and they are all incredible!
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
Hello friends and happy Monday! I hope you all enjoyed a pleasant weekend and hopefully found a little time to do something crafty. This is Crystal Komara here with you today sharing two rainbow themed cards using a variety of products from Birch Press Design. I just love creating with rainbow colors because the end result is always happiness.
For this first card, I used Layer A of the Lumina Layering Plates. I already had a pre-made rainbow colored alcohol ink background in my stash, so this card came together quite quickly. Gotta love that! I simply adhered the rainbow alcohol ink background to my card base – I use 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. Then I die cut Layer A of the Lumina Layering Plates from white cardstock. I adhered the intricate die over the alcohol ink background.
I die cut the word Hello using the Big Hello dies. I die cut the shadow background from black cardstock and the top thinner layer from white cardstock. I adhered both layers together with a Tombow Dot Runner and then I adhered both layers to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. Using the Ticker Tape stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and fussy cut the sentiment strip out. I adhered the sentiment below the “hello” dies using 3M foam adhesive.
For this next card, I used the Linear Triangle die and lots of colored cardstock strips in various bright colors to keep in line with my rainbow theme.
My card base is 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. I also die cut the first 5 1/4″ x 4″ mat from white cardstock. I die cut the Linear Triangle from white cardstock and adhered thin strips of colored paper behind the lines. I placed the completed triangle in the lower righthand corner of my card. I die cut the large “thanks” die from black cardstock and from a piece of pre-made alcohol ink cardstock. I layered the two together with a Tombow Dot Runner and placed the large sentiment in the center of my card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. Using the Ticker Tape stamp set, I stamped the sentiment “you inspired kindness” in Versamark ink on black cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I fussy cut this sentiment and adhered it below the large “thanks” using 3M foam adhesive.
I hope you have enjoyed today’s cards and they will bring some cheerfulness to the start of the week. Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
Hi there! It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook back with you today sharing a set of 4 birthday shaker cards.
All of a sudden I needed multiple birthday cards and I thought this was a fun way to get them all finished and ready to go.
I started things off by cutting all of my pieces at once. We’ve got 4 card bases, 4 card front panels and 4 white pieces measuring 4×5.25 inches with the string art circle collage die cut from the middle top of each panel.
Next, I blended distress oxide inks in different color combinations on each of the card front panels. Here is a little collage photo to show you all the combos in case you’d like to try them out too.
Once they were all finished, I spritzed the panels with water and then flicked some watered down black acrylic paint on them for a little texture.
To make these into shaker cards, I added an acetate sheet to the back side of the circle string art collage opening of each panel. Then I added doubled-up foam tape to the back too.
Next, I chose my embellishments and made a little pile in the middle where the opening would be. I removed the release paper and added the string art collage panel to the ink blended panel, sealing the shaker bits inside.
For each card, I chose an embellishment mix and different colored micro beads to help the pieces move around nicely.
With all of the shaker mechanisms created and sealed up. I used liquid glue to adhere them all to the card bases and moved on to sentiments. For that I chose the Big Lingo Happy die set. You can see here that it can be used two ways – the outline over the shadow or the inside letters on the shadow. You really could use either piece on its own too. It’s a very versatile die. I chose to cut the letters twice and used both versions with white shadows.
Then I pulled out the Crystal Lingo stamp set and stamped the “birthday to you” part on white cardstock. I die cut these with the banner die in the Christmas Ornament and Labels set.
I used liquid glue to adhere the sentiment pieces together and then to the front of the cards.
And then to finish things off, I glued a scattering of the shaker bits on the front of the card design to tie things in together.
I really like what this does for the look of the cards. And then, like magic I have 4 birthday cards ready to go!
I hope you found some inspiration to create something wonderful and share it with someone.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
Hi, friends! I’m so happy you joined us here today. I created this dimensional die cut card using Birch Press Designs’s Field of Blooms layering dies, and I’m excited to walk you through the process!
I started this card using Layer A of the Field of Blooms layering dies, cutting it out 3 times from 110# cardstock. I popped out all of the little flowers and leaves, and adhered one of the panels to a white card base (I saved the two extra panels for future projects). I then used liquid adhesive to stack 3 layers of tulips and 2 layers of leaves on top of each other, leaving two rows blank for the sentiment. This sounds time-consuming, but it was quite quick and really easy. To finish the tulips, I die cut some coral and hot pink colored tulips from colored cardstock and adhered them on top. I then used Copic markers to color the leaves and adhered them on as well. I wish that photography captured the fun dimension of this card!
To create my sentiment strip, I cut a coordinating strips of pink cardstock and white cardstock and added a row of handstitching for some texture. I then stamped my “you are the best” sentiment from the You Are Awesome stamp set and die cut my sugar script “thanks” from gold mirror cardstock. And with that, this card was finished!
I hope you enjoyed this project! Links to the products I used are below. Thank you for stopping by today and I’ll see you again soon with more cardmaking projects!
Hello, friends! I’m so happy to be here today to show you how I made this card pairing the gorgeous Viola Layer Plates with stitched floral accents. This card represents everything I love about cardmaking: stitching on paper, die cutting, and simple coloring!
I started my card by stamping this beautiful floral image from Memory Box’s All the Happiness stamp set onto 110# white cardstock. I then did some super simple copic coloring before using a piercing tool to poke holes along all of the stamped lines. I then used coordinating embroidery thread to do some simple backstitching along the image outlines. I added some floral sequins and yellow gems as well. Once this very easy and relaxing stitching was complete, I fussy cut the image (die cutting tends to smash the stitching) and set it aside.
To create my background, I die cut layers A and B from the Viola layering dies from 80# white cardstock. I adhered them together and to a white card base using liquid adhesive. Using the same adhesive, I then adhered my floral image to the upper corner.
To finish my card, I cut my sentiment from the “sending” and “love” sugar script dies three times from white 110# cardstock and once from gold mirror cardstock, layering them together with liquid adhesive for dimension. All there was left to do was adhere the sentiment to the card and this project was finished!
I really loved making this card and I hope it inspires you to combine stitching and beautiful die cut backgrounds in your projects! Links to the products I used are below. Thanks so much for stopping by today and I’ll see you again tomorrow with another Birch Press Designs cardmaking project!
I die my sentiment from some scraps of the deep blue and white glitter cardstocks and mounted it in the center of the panel design. It fit absolutely perfectly between the two floral motifs. I mounted everything on a top folding A2 card base.
Thank you for stopping by and as I always say, Give Cards Generously!
