birch press design ADI layer die card…

Hi everyone! I’ve been playing with some of the birch press design dies!  I have some fun things to share and I’ll start with this early bird Christmas card!  Whoa! I know… it’s been a long time since I posted Christmas in May!

I grabbed some metallic gold card-stock and started cutting… I didn’t use all the layers…not sure I can even tell you what I did since I moved on to some other designs.  You’ll just want to die cut and see what you come up with by changing out the layers.

I kept it very simple…the background is two pattern papers from a 6×6 pad.  This one is a few years old but I’m sure you have some that will work just as stunningly!  A little gold cord ‘ties’ it all together.

It was a sunny day for taking pictures, so I moved around 3 times and have different looking photos from each spot. I stopped at posting 3 photos at least! lol I wish I could really capture how pretty it is in real life!

Hope everything is growing that you’re watering! Our trees are looking good. whew.  Leafing out and soaking up the water and sun.  Kinda scared to get the water bill.  I didn’t Winter over our 3 Endless Summer Hydrangeas that we planted last year right, I guess.  No buds on the old wood.  Fortunately there’s a lot of new coming from the bottom though!  I just hope we get some flowers!  I know….rolling my eyes at myself…Lilly of the Valley pips on the way…hope we can do those right!  We have a lot of shade on the east side of the house. I’d rather make cards but…sometimes you gotta go outside! lol

Thanks for stopping by!
