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!

poppystamps Nordic Deer and Nordic Flourish Dies Card…

Hi cardmakers and friends!  Are you feeling festive yet?   Some super FUN NEW dies from poppystamps!  There’s a whole series of Nordic designs!  I have a feeling that poppystamps will expand on this line into the new year too… time will tell!

I started out with a basic kraft top folding A2 cardbase.

I die cut the NEW Nordic Flourish Background with two of the reds from the Memory Box Berry Red 6×6 cardstock pad. The solid, darker for the background and the lighter for the doily like cut.

I die cut the NEW Nordic Flourishes die set in the medium color of the three reds and added them over the top here and there. You can see them better in some of the pictures.

I inked all the pieces a little with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and a mini ink blending tool.

I die cut the NEW Nordic Deer set in kraft and the same reds I used for the background.  Then glued them up.

I die cut the two branches in a scrap piece of green from the Memory Box Lush Green 6×6 cardstock pad.

Warmest Wishes and Merry Christmas are from the NEW Birch Press Design Glad Tidings stamp set that I love so much!

I die cut Warmest Wishes after I heat embossed it with white embossing powder using the rectangle die that comes in the poppystamps foil and cut Modest Greetings sets.

I wanted to use the greenery and I thought, wrap it around the antlers… it didn’t quite work that way but I still liked it up there.  Now I think it might’ve worked on one side of the sentiment instead.  oh well, too late! lol

Reds are so hard to capture but I think the photos are pretty close to the cardstock colors this time.  Kraft always makes me happy! lol

Linking to some challenges…

Memory Box Bundled Bird, Nest and Aurora Snowflake Frame Card…

Hi everyone! Here in Iowa we are dressing warmer like this NEW Memory Box Bundled Bird!

It’s one of the new layering dies and pairs well with the NEW Bird’s Nest and New Small Poinsettia Layers!

He looks just like I feel when I’m all bundled up with a scarf wrapped around my neck! lol

I die cut in white cardstock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Easy to get varying shades of the few colors then.  Colored cardstock would work just as well and use up some of those scraps that we don’t throw away!  Glue the pieces together.  There aren’t very many and it’s easy to see what goes with what.

I die cut the Aurora Snowflake Frame three times and glued it together.  I like doing that for photo sake…I’m not sure I would do it if I wasn’t taking pictures. Everything else is just one layer of cardstock.

I used Birch Press Design Merry Christmas Vintage die for the sentiment.  I die cut it in gold mirror cardstock and Memory Box glossy black cardstock.  I popped out the merry Christmas from the black die cut piece and glued it over the top of the gold die cut piece.  That way I didn’t have to handle the individual letters.  I did add a little piece of my favorite super thin mounting tape to the back of the gold cut to hold the letters in the cut. Then just little dots of Tombow Mono Multi on the back of the black cut to adhere it over the gold.

Die cut the Small Poinsettia Layers and glue them together.

The Bird’s Nest I die cut in kraft and inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and a mini ink blending tool. I adhered it together by laying it over the package picture for placement!

This is an A2 size card.  The blue base panel is a piece of watercolor cardstock that I did some stamping and inking on awhile back but didn’t end up using. I liked it for this card.  A blustery, Winter day blueness!

I added some Memory Box clear Fairy Jewels here and there to lend to that Wintery feel!

Birch Press Design Revello Ornament Card…

 

Hi everyone!  I went all festive on you with this card!  I’m still using up the greenery I made up for this card and then again on this card.  So fun!

I love everything more at Christmas….plaid…gold…green…red…snow and and!  I did try to incorporate kraft cardstock into this but it didn’t work this time. hoho lol

 

When I post I always wonder what all my readers are up to. I just smile and carry on, knowing you’re all out there creating too!  or shopping! lol

This is an A2 size card.  Die cutting and gluing.  I mounted the ornament with my favorite thin mounting tape but I kept it toward the center so I could stick in the foliage easily.

The ornament topper and bow are from the Christmas Ornament Pop Up Easel die set.   It’s a great set that goes a long with the Revollo die set.  The die to cut the ornament backer is in the Easel set also.  HERE is a post where I used the Christmas Ornament Pop Up Easel set before.
