I’ve been thinking I wanted to share how the NEW Birch Press Design dies are packaged. I made a short video to show how neat they are!
Next video I’m showing the NEW Memory Box dies and one stamp set release. Take a look!
You can see both of these releases at Starlitstudio.net, HERE
Thank you for stopping by! Let me know if you enjoyed seeing the release like this!
Hi everyone! I don’t know which one to start with! Lots of pictures so I better just get to it!
We all love snowmen, right? This one is sooooo CUTE!
I think I’m going to have to make a video to show what I used on each one…
I used the House Frame die, the House Frame Background die and the Snowman House Frame die.
Simple Distress Oxide backgound using my blue and purple brushes…I didn’t even add any extra ink! Then a quick spritz of water.
The trees I used my green Distress oxide brush….no extra ink.
These will be so fun hanging on the Christmas tree or if I can part with them, on a present!
Here’s the Nativity House Frame… new navy glitter cardstock from the NEW Festive Glitter 6×6 Pad.
The House and tree are cut from MB woodgrain cardstock and inked with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.
I used the House Frame, the Nativity House Frame and the House Frame Background dies for this ornament.
I love the simplicity of this and want to make more! A great reminder that Jesus is the reason for the season!
Next up is the Gingerbread House Frame….. so cute!
Gingerbread…a must have for Christmas! So many adorable pieces to embellish this cute house!
I used the House Frame, the Gingerbread House Frame and the House Frame Background dies to make this one.
MB woodgrain cardstock again, inked with Gathered Twigs distress ink. The gum drops and peppermint glitter is from the new Festive glitter pad and last years Holiday glitter pad.
Last, I thought it’d be fun to make a birdhouse from the House Frame Background die! I made it a tag. I think I’ll still hang it on the tree as an ornament though.
I used some elements from the Gingerbread House Frame die also.
I heat embossed the word JOY from the NEW Birch Press Design Contempo Christmas Greetings stamp set.
It needed some green! So I cut the NEW Curled Holly Branch from the Fresh Green 6×6 cardstock pad and embellished the berries with Nuvo drops.
I felt like it needed a bird. lol I couldn’t get it to work to suit me though so I put the bird I made on the back!
He is from the MB Perched Bird die… just brushed on ink with my oxide ink brushes again. I love how that works and so fast…who knew that an inky brush could be so handy! lol
These aren’t as big as they look in my pictures… they are approximately 3 ½ in. wide and 3 ½ in. tall. Perfect ornament size!
Editing and adding this video…watch it on You Tube for better quality!
Whew… did you make it through this long post! I almost didn’t! lol I kept taking pictures over! My computer desktop is a mess of pictures! lol
But I love making so I keep doing this! haha We’ll inspire each other to get in the Christmas spirit!

Meet me at the fishin’ hole! It’s a beautiful day! lol Here’s the card I made for our grandson Corrin who just turned 12! He loves to fish with Grandpa!
I saved this idea from Instagram/designs by mommajean when I saw it last year. So much fun! I made the video after I gave it to Corrin and he showed me that it looked like the fish were swimming when you bend it back and forth! ❤
I didn’t have a shadowbox die set that would work for what I wanted to do so I had to make this up as I went. No instructions, just some Math! lol
Stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird, Memory Box and Lawn Fawn. I’ll link below.
I stamped, die cut the images and colored with Copic Sketch markers. Since alcohol marker ink saturates through to the back side, I die cut a piece of white cardstock to glue behind the colored images.
Bushes and grass dies in the background from Hello Bluebird…
I took a lot of pictures!
Memory Box dies for the greens and coral in the water…
I used a piece of acetate to cover the opening…
Distress Oxide inks for the blues and sandy shore…
Corrin really liked it and the money in the envelope too! lol
Thank you for stopping by! ttul
Here’s what I used…

Hi everyone! Here’s what I’ve been doing so far this week. The new dies from Memory Box arrived and I got busy!
I’ve always liked sunflowers and holly hocks. I suppose because they look free spirited! haha
For this card, I used the NEW Brilliant Sunflower and added the square frame from the Splendid Rose Frame from this year’s earlier release. I LOVE how these mix and match!
I made a short video of how I emboss the detail in the sunflower head…watch it here or on You Tube.
I really like how embossing deepens the detail.
I inked edges with a little Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and the mini round ink blending tools.
I colored the center of the embossed yellow piece with color pencil and added white dots with a white gel pen.
Some quick die piecing in the corners….heat embossed sentiment is from the NEW Memory Box Big and Little Words clear stamp set. It’s made to coordinate with some of the other new dies too so you’ll be seeing it used a lot! yay!
Stamped with Versamark, in the MISTI stamping tool.
You brighten my day! It’s true!
I used the NEW Misti Cut Align tool to cut the sentiment strip… I REALLY like having that tool! Tools are everything!
Some enamel dots…
So then, cuz I had experimented and cut so many sunflowers in different colors, I decided to use the white cut!
I dry embossed the yellow flower head that’s behind the white outline die… I love how it looks, it just gives it a little roundness. I glue it just in the center so the petals can kinda look free-ish.
A Distress Oxide background in Fossilized Amber and Peeled Paint using the cheap make up brushes to blend it on the card-base. I’ll link to the ones the stamp company is selling but I’m using the cheap ones and love them!
A happy, cute card! 😀 We all need a little sunshine in-between rains these days!
The sentiment is from the same NEW set as above… I am loving this set! I had fun making these two cards!
Both cards are 4 ½ inches square. You could mail this size in an A6 envelope or a 5 inch square one.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you’re enjoying the flowers in paper or in dirt!
Here’s the products I used to make these two cards…
