    Block Print Star Flower Hello | by Crystal Komara

    Hello beautiful Birch Press Design fans and Happy Monday! This is Design Team member Crystal Komara here with you today. This is actually my first time writing a blogpost in a little while as the blog was down for a, so I’m happy to be back with you and share today’s project using the new Block Print Star Flowers dies.

    Let’s talk a little about how I made this card:

    The base of my A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. This is my go-to cardstock for e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g! I use it for card bases, die cutting, ink blending, Copic coloring, etc. It’s a wonderful, good quality cardstock to use. Then using the Block Star Print Flower dies, I proceeded to cut out a bunch of flowers in a variety of blue shades of cardstock from the Stormy Blue 6″ x 6″ paper pack as well as gold glitter cardstock from the Festive Glitter 6″ x 6″ paper pack.

      I then began to layer alternating colors of cardstock to form the Block Star Flowers. After gluing the flower together, using a fine-tip liquid glue, I adhered them to the white cardstock base. I trimmed the edges as the flowers were extending off the length of the card. Then, I added the sentiment using the Hello Honey Script die. For the two-layered sentiment I used a layer of white cardstock and a layer of blue cardstock.

      Lastly, I added some blue rhinestones around the card for added sparkle!

      This is a card that you could make in a variety of colors and it would work just as beautifully. I simply chose various hues of blue, because that’s my favorite color, but I think all colors in this design and layout would look just as beautiful.

      Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

      H-e-l-l-o readers and happy June! This card will welcome you to summer many times over in an array of rainbow colors! This is DT member Crystal Komara here with you today sharing this fun clean and simple (CAS) card using the Jumbo Lingo Hello die and two single white curved leaf branches.

      Card details:

      The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. Using the Jumbo Lingo Hello die, I die cut the sentiment many times from a variety of cardstock colors. To keep it simple, I die cut all the shadow bases from color cardstock and the thinner top layer all from white cardstock. I then arranged the “hello’s” in a pattern that seemed pleasing to my eye, while also not accidentally spelling out a bad word!

      Using the Contempto Greetings Stamp set, I stamped the hello circle in Versamark ink on black cardstock and then heat embossed it using white embossing powder. I used the coordinating die to die cut the sentient out. I adhered the sentiment to the center of the card using 3M foam adhesive to pop it up. I then die cut two white leaves using the Curved Leaf Branch and tucked them underneath the sentiment. Easy and colorful!

      I like how this card turned out, it’s fun for summer with those rainbow colors and what a cheerful way to greet anyone. Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

      Prime Peony Hello | by Crystal Komara

      Hello readers! Now that spring is officially here (oh but wait, is it??) Oh well, I declare spring IS here! Let’s celebrate with all things floral. This is Design Team member Crystal Komara here with you today sharing this hello card made using the Prime Peony Duo Contour Layers.

      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 the same Neenah White cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot using the Blooming 3D embossing folder from Memory Box Co. (a sister company of Birch Press Design). I adhered this embossed background directly to the card base. Next, I die cut a large oval from white cardstock.

      To create all the peonies, I die cut the various layers of the Prime Peony from different colored pink cardstocks and then using the image provided, I was able to assemble them (with only limited curse words!) Trust me, I’m not proud of my less-than patience.

      After adhering all the peony pieces together I adhered them to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension. Lastly, for the sentiment, I used the Big Hello Sugar Script die. I die cut just the top layer (not the shadow layer) from white cardstock. I cut this layer three times and them on top of each other before adding them to the card.

      I hope you have enjoyed this card! Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
