Hope You’re Feeling Better Eucalyptus | by Crystal Komara

Hello Birch Press Design readers! This is Design Team member Crystal Komara sharing a CAS (Clean and Simple) card with you today featuring the new Eucalyptus Stem and Berries Contour Layering dies. Because I intended for this card to be very simple, I wanted to create a card without using the layering part of the dies, so here is what the dies look like quite simply on their own when cut from a rainbow array of cardstock. Add a gold heat embossed sentiment (any message will do!) and you have an elegant and easy card in no time flat!

Card details:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock. I cut a 5 1/4 x 4″ piece of this same cardstock as the first layer. On that layer I stamped the sentiment “hope you’re feeling better” in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. This sentiment is from the Classic Sentimental Wreath stamp set.

Using the Eucalyptus stems, I cut multiple stems from colored cardstock. I used the following 6″ paper packs:

-Lush Green

-Sunny Orange

-Berry Red

-Ocean Blue

I adhered the stems directly to the center of the card and then I added a small white ribbon at the base of the stems for added texture.

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

Heart to Heart Thanks | by April Antonio
Happy Friday! April here sharing an elegant, easy to pull together thank you card.

To start this card I grabbed on of my favorites, the Kinsley Heart Plate Layering set. I cut out all three layers with Layer A and C cut from white cardstock, and Layer I glued all three layers together using liquid glue.
I created an A2 card base from a piece of red cardstock, and glued the Kinsley Heart layer onto the card front. This is why the inside of the heart is red — the base is shining through.

Next, I took the Pimpernel Contour layering set to cut the flowers from red, foil cardstock and the leaves from green, glitter cardstock. I adhered them to the lower right of the card front, ensuring I glued the center of the flowers only, to leave the petals free to bend up a little bit.

For the sentiment, I used the Kind Hearts Clear Stamp set to heat emboss ‘thank you’ with black pigment ink and clear embossing powder. I cut this out and glued it to the center of the card front.

Lastly, I added a couple of clear dots from the Christmas Fairy Crystals set to the center of the flowers

That is it! The layering sets make it super easy and fun to pull together cards. I hope this inspires you to go create and have fun

Baby Card on the Way

Giving new parents a card congratulating them on their new born is more important than you’d think!

The card that you give them they will probably be kept in their child’s first scrapbook to look back on for years to come and show that baby when they get older! You don’t want to start that scrapbook off with an uninteresting and ordinary card. You should start that book with the loveliest card you can find!

Well, look no further, Birch Press has some cards that will have you drooling like a baby!

We have cards that are very decorated with flowers for girls and elephants for boys and we have cards that are simplistic with baby items and adorable animals.

Get a card for that newborn that’ll have their parents talking about for years.

Card Worthy

Some may disagree, but I’m pretty confident that a majority of you out there think that this is the best time of the year. Yes, it’s extremely cold, but that’s not enough to get you down. There’s a special feeling that fills the air around this time. Too cheesy? Ok. But I do love December!

You don’t even have to wait until Christmas, or Hanukkah to get into the spirit either. It’s starts earlier than that with cards! Yes, those special cards you recieve from Aunt Joy telling you how just perfect her year has been. Or cousin John, who you haven’t spoken to in years, letting you know how good hunting season went.

I love to set them in a special place in the house like my mantle just so that I can keep getting excited for the holiday! At some point though, I get way too many cards and they don’t all fit on my mantle anymore! But, I don’t want to move any away because they’re all so pretty and equally important!

That’s when I bring out my card holders! This way, all cards get to stay on the mantle and be seen equally! Here at Birch Press we have two classic card stands that’ll work in any home. With their classic metal look, the card holders will not clash with any home decor!

Don’t let any card you receive on those holidays be hidden because you don’t have enough space! Instead, let every card be admired in your home with our classic card holders.

The Gift of Friendship

I have a lot of friends now that are in different stages of life. High school, college, raising a family, welcoming new grandchildren and all the joys that come with living.

Just because my old pals are now all scattered around the country doesn’t mean that I can’t keep in touch with them! And why not send your them something a little extra to show they still mean a whole lot to you.

Here at Birch Press, we have the everyday and friendship cards to help that long distance pal feel a little closer!

We have an array of love and friendship cards in our laser cut, letterpress, and printed card sections! Don’t forget about anyone that has left a special place in your heart through the years send them one of our uniquely made cards!

Give Thanks

This is your year, the year your child is graduating from high school and moving on to the next stage of their life…College!

This time of the year can be very emotional and exciting at the same time. Your son/daughter is graduating and moving on to big things. You two have been on this journey together since day one. Whether it be college, trade school, work, or travel, it is a thrilling time in ones life. We’re here to make things easy for you!

You know that they are maybe a tad upset to leave home but also very excited. They don’t know that you’re having the same exact feelings!

But before sending them on their way, you need to get them through their going away party. After the excitement and celebration, it is time to dash off a few thank you cards.

Well, we have some thank you cards that will maybe help that stubborn child of yours get a little excited to write some thanks.

Our thank you cards are made in letterpress and printed card versions. In our letterpress thank you section, we have classic looks that will want any receiver to keep them on their mantel all summer long! The printed letters have floral designs for the girls and a chalk board thanks design for the boys! Get your kids excited to give thanks with our hip thank you card sets.
