    Jolly Herbarium Layer Plate | by Crystal Komara

    Hello crafty readers! This is Design Team member Crystal Komara here with you today. I am so excited to be sharing a card made using the beautiful new Herbarium Layering Plates. This 3-piece full cover layering plate set is my favorite from this latest holiday release from Birch Press Design!

    Swoon! Honestly, it’s just gorgeous if I do say so myself! With a mixture of mint green and teal cardstocks with a splash of gold glitter paper in the sentiment, it’s just pure holiday elegance!

    Card details:

    The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. I die cut Layer A of the Herbarium Layering Plate from white cardstock. I die cut Layer B from mint cardstock and Layer C from a darker teal green cardstock. These beautiful colors are from the 6″ x 6″ Fresh Aqua paper pack. I layered all three layers together with a fine-tip liquid glue. I placed the layers underneath a heavy book to let them dry well and dry flat.

    I die cut the word “jolly” from the Jolly Honey Script word die. I die cut the bottom shadow layer from the same darker teal green cardstock and the top outline layer from gold glitter cardstock. I adhered the two layers of the sentiment together and then adhered them to the card using Scotch 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. Lastly, I added a couple red rhinestones as the berries on the card.

    I really, really, love how this card came out. In fact, I know that I’ll be trying to recreate it in a variety of color combinations.

    Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

    A problem that I used to run into every birthday, wedding, or graduation party is wrapping up the gift, tying the perfect bow, and then realizing I have no place to write who it’s from!

    At this point, since I am a procrastinator and probably have to leave for the party, I need to write my to and from straight on the gift!

    Not only does that look tacky, but also makes it hard to find for the person with the gift! As of now, those days are behind me! Birch Press currently offers an array of gift tags such as printed tags with colorful designs, wood tags to add a natural look to your present, laser tags with cut outs to let the wrapping paper add a feel to the tag, chalkboard tags perfect for a that grandchild’s birthday party, and holiday tags for those major festivities like Christmas!

    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.
