Birch Press Design and Freshly Made Sketches…Two Cards…

Hello everyone!  Two cards to share with you that I made with the same dies!

Basic cards made with dies…no stamps!

Birch Press Design Rosebud Arch Contour Layers die set comes in the cool folder packaging with the color picture insert for how to put the designs together!  It’s so helpful and you don’t have to change anything for storage!  Magnet sheet included!

Birch Press Design Hello Vintage Sentiment die set…I cut from two colors and was able to make two sentiments and throwing away nothing!  YAY! (there are two sizes of this die, I used the smaller one)

I use scor-tape to assemble the hellos, no messy gluing!

I followed the card challenge blog Freshly Made Sketches for this card.   Linking to challenge #675.

Here’s two more pictures of the wreath…

The wreath card is 5 ½ inches square.

I added some gems from the pastel Fairy gems by Memory Box.

I used Memory Box cardstocks and plaid paper.

One more picture of the A2 size card…

Holler if you have any questions!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

New Birch Press Design and Memory Box…

Hi friends and cardmakers!  It’s that time of year!  So exciting!  Lots of Christmas coming your way from Memory Box, Birch Press Design and poppystamps!

I started by die cutting the NEW BPD Classic Poinsettia Contour Layers and gluing it together.  I used some of the my watercolor papers to die cut the poinsettia and foliage.

I followed a video by Jill from Penny Black to make the watercolored panels that I die cut and used for the panels.  Video HERE.

I used the NEW Memory Box Fringed, Scalloped Frame die for the vintage light brown panel.  I used the thin mounting tape that I love to adhere it to the red background panel.

I die cut foliage from two more NEW BPD dies, Holly Sprig Contour Layers and Tiny Berries and Leaves Contour Layers.

I love the holly, pine branches and sticks.  Although I’m not sure they’re supposed to be sticks! lol

I chose to use the NEW BPD Peace Love Joy Confection Script die for the sentiment on this card.  I love the fine line and I know you’re thinking ugh about gluing it but you don’t have to!  The way it die cuts, the fine script fits back into the panel and you can just put little pieces of tape on the back to hold it in place, then glue it to the shadow die cut.  Here’s a picture that might help you see what I mean.

On the inside I used the NEW Memory Box Holiday Wishes stamp set.  Lots of great sentiments in this set!  And it comes with two dies to cut out the Sending Warmest Wishes and North Pole stamps.

I cut out some extra holly leaves from the scraps of my watercolored papers, in case I needed them around the poinsettia.  I didn’t so I glued them on the inside with the sentiment.  I stamped in Archival Potting Soil ink.

I have plenty of photos this time so I’ll just stick them in here.

It’s no surprise that I started the Christmas cardmaking season with the Poinsettia and greenery.  I do love these colors and the vintage look!

This is an A2 size card…holler if you have any questions!  I’m sure I forgot something!

Birch Press Design Cosmos, Lush Leaves and Wiegela Leaf Tag…

Hi everyone! A BIG tag for today’s post! Super fun shower for our grandson’s new wife Saturday morning!

She loves to garden so a few of us had fun gifting her gifts for that!

For some reason my camera didn’t blurr out the background for me on this picture so I tried to edit it out.  Sorry it’s so bad!  This is a dump garden wagon…she loves it!  I picked up some plants too and one is an Iceland Poppy.  I had to purchase it for her because they honeymooned in Iceland!  So fun!

A close up before I hung it on the wagon…

A close up hanging on the wagon.

I used a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp to stamp all over the background of the tag… I’ll link it below.

The tag is an accucut die that you use on the big accucut baby grand machine.

The circle is a NEW die from poppystamps!  I’ll link it below.

Birch Press Design Floral Cross Happy Easter Card…

Hi everyone! A lovely NEW Floral Cross Layer set from Birch Press Design on my mini slimline card today.

I’m so glad to have this set to make a cross card…especially fitting for Easter.

Some green cardstocks, kraft and gold metallic cardstocks for die cutting…no stamps used for this card.

Die cut and glue them up!

 

I love this size of card…my pictures don’t do it justice.  The gold Happy Easter is so pretty too! I used the new Memory Box Happy Easter Curled Script die.

The florals and greens come in the dies in each of the layer dies.

HERE  is the Birch Press Design idea book for this release… I love Dave’s cross card in it!

Memory Box NEW Cheerful Floral Collection Card…

Hello Friday!  Here lately you don’t have to worry about me filling up your email inbox!   I do have NEW to show you though!

A beautiful collection that I really enjoyed working with…NEW from Memory Box.  You knew already, right?! lol

You can stamp your image and then die cut or die cut then stamp on the die cut.

I cut the shape first then stamped on it in the MISTI.

Then the fun begins!  There is a stencil set to use for coloring!!!!!  For the pinks I used Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry Oxide Inks, then an old Versacolor pigment cube for the darkest… Rose Red #23.

Greens were a trio of Bazzill Dye inks but I had a new set of Altenew I could’ve used laying right there on my desk! ugh.  I will link to them.

The light blue was Speckled Egg, Savage Patina and the brush for Peacock Feathers without inking it. All oxides.

For the yellow flower I used Antique Linen, Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber oxide and the brown oxide brush for the center without reinking it.

I am really happy with how it turned out…you know how it is…at several points during the process I was thinking this is not going to work! lol

So after I finished stenciling it I put it in the NEW 3D Cheerful Floral 3D embossing folder!  oh wow!  That just added so much!   I taped it in place in the folder.  It shifted a little so next time I’m thinking maybe just go half way, stop and run it through from the opposite end half way.

I used the Memory Box Rectangle Double Border Hot Foil Plate for the base panel…started with 4 ½ in x 6 ¼ in panel but ended up trimming the top and bottom.  It will still fit in an A6 envelope.

I think it’s nice to have a bigger than A2 size for super special cards sometimes!  Let’s go Hallmark! lol

I used some ribbon from Stampin Up from who knows how many years ago and the sentiment from Birch Press Design Celebrate Today Noted Script hot foil plate and die set in gold foil.

I mounted the floral piece with some of the thin mounting tape I love!  then the ribbon, then the sentiment mounted with the same thin mounting tape.  It should still travel for one stamp!

Holler if you have any questions!  I’m going to link up what I used below.  If you’re tempted to get this collection, I say go for it!  You’ll have fun and end up with beautiful cards without all the time coloring!  Win! Win!
