Dies Two Ways with Birch Press Designs

Hello everyone!

I hope this post finds you well! I've made these two cards using Birch Press Design dies that can be found at Dies R Us to show how different two cards can be using the same dies, just different colors. I love the simplicity of Birch Press dies and Dies R Us has a wonderful selection; please take a look when you have a chance!

What I Used to Make Both my Cards:
White Card Base
Birch Press Designs Grandiose Dies, Bundle of 3, #56102

After making both the purple and grey layered piece I just customized each card using the items linked below. In addition to showing how colors can change a card completely, I was also going for one feminine card and one masculine card. Here is the information on each card:

Missing You {grey card}
Simon Says Stamp Floral Garden, #SSS202304 {sentiment}
Tutti Designs Stitched Nested Rectangles, #TUTTI-217 {out of stock, but other options are TUTTI-414 and TUTTI-410}
Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke
Shades of Grey Card

Once the panel was made for this card, I made a frame using the rectangle dies, to go around it. As you can see from the picture, it's very easy to do as long as you have some low tack tape to hold the dies in place. I attached the frame to the panel, the panel to the card base and then adhered the sentiment, which was stamped and trimmed.

Just for You {purple card}
Creative Expressions by Sue Wilson, Just for You, #CEDME028
Shades of Purple Card

All I needed to make this super easy card was a sentiment, which I cut out of the darkest purple I used in the panel. I attached that to the card and it's ready to send off!

Thank you so much for stopping by to see my cards! Remember, the challenge at Dies R Us is always anything goes using a die that they stock; that leaves you with plenty of options to play! I hope that you are inspired by our creations and join the challenge, all the links you need are on the right hand side of this blog :)

Fondly,

Sweet Love Card

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a lovely and easy Valentine's Day card or just a love card.

I only used dies and a bit of ink to create this card - which makes it easy to make multiples if needed.

Here's the card I created.

I gathered all the dies, cardstock and specialty paper. I die cut all the components for the card.

I then used Distress Oxide ink in Bundled Sage to color the stems of the blooms. Next, I used Distress Oxide in Tattered Rose for the buds.

I trimmed one of the buds off the stem. I will use this stem for my hearts.

I adhered the hearts to the stem.

Next, I adhered the lattice to the pink cardstock panel.

Now, I am ready to adhere the blooms to the panel.

I start by tucking the first bloom at the bottom left of the panel. Then I follow with the heart buds and then I finally trim and tuck the last bloom.

Next, I adhered the sentiments die cuts to the top right-hand corner of the panel. I then adhered the card front panel to the card base.

For finishing touches, I adhered a few Jewels in red, pink and white.

Now, the card is complete.

Happy New Year Card

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a quick and easy New Year's card.

Can you believe it's almost here!

A new year filled with new experiences, memories,

birthdays, anniversaries, and so much more!

This card is so quick to create you can still make them and get them out to all the family and friends!

I gathered all the supplies. The die, Rinea Foil paper for some shine and some Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blend called Celebrate along with some cardstock.

I die cut all the pieces from the foil paper. I die cut the leaves in Rinea Foil paper Starstruck Ebony and Starstruck Silver. The champaign bottle I cut from Rinea Foil paper Starstruck Ebony and I cut and an extra one from Rinea Foil paper Glossy Gold for the inlays of the labels. I then cut the glasses from Rinea Foil paper Starstruck Silver. I also die cut the label banner from Rinea Foil paper Starstruck Silver. Finally, I die cut the sentiment from Rinea Foil paper Starstruck Ebony.

I start by assembling the champaign bottle. I put some low profile foam adhesive on the back of the bottle and then turn it over to place the small label piece into place.

Next, I adhered the leaves to the bottom of my white card front panel. Starting with the black leaves first then the silver. Then, I adhered to the bottle and the glasses just above the leaves.

Then, I adhered the sentiment onto the banner and added some low profile foam adhesive to the back of the banner and place it on the card panel making sure to center it.

Next, I added some sequins to the card front panel. I created a small cluster at the center between the leaves and two other clusters on the sides of the bottle and glasses. I finished with a final cluster by the sentiment.
