 Hello Everyone! Today I am here with another design team project for Birch Press Design featuring two of their beautiful layering die sets! Nativity Star Simple Peace This die is one that is great for not only making a card, but also adding ornaments to your tree or even a gift to someone special!  I first die cut all my pieces and ready for assembly. I die cut each layer from the Nativity Star Die Set and also from the Simple Peace Die Set. The color I chose were very natural looking and had a warm feel to them, with a little gold sparkly to add a little sparkle. When layering each piece I used my liquid adhesive to ensure a secure bond and set aside to set and dry. I then placed my pieces onto my design base, cut at 4 1/8 inches x 5 3/8 inches, this way I knew where I wanted to place a touch of ink to sit just behind my star.  For my sentiment I used Simple Peace. This is a two-layer die set and for the second I chose a gold glitter card stock to add a touch of sparkle. Once all my dies were glued together it is time to put our card together. I started by placing my star in place and used an acrylic block to make sure it dried flat onto your card base. Next my sentiment was set towards the bottom of my card. Make sure you click on the video below to see all the crafty details!

 Hello Everyone! Simon Says Stamp is having another release during their month long DieCember® celebration. This one is called "You are Loved" - and we all are in some way,right?!? Today I am using their Outline Clustered Leaved die, and this is a great size! It measure approximately 6 1/2 inches x 4 inches. Possibility are endless when using this image.  I chose very soft and light colors for my card. I grabbed my 'You matter' background stamp and a light ink. I cut my image using white card stock to create a different type of silhouette.  Used a sentiment from a prior Simon Says Stamp Kit and turned it into a tag with just a hint of a bold color to help it to stand out! Here are just some of the products I used for this card... SSS – Outline Clustered Leaves SSS – You Matter Background Stamp SSS – Brush Stroke Messages Stamp Set SSS – Stitched Rectangle Dies SSS – Fog Ink Pad Click on the video below to see all the fun crafty details!

Don’t’ forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to my channel! Always Remember... Be Inspired, Be Creative, ENJOY and SHARE what you create today! ~ Desiree  Hello Everyone! Welcome for Day 9 of my 2018 Christmas Series Once again! I must admit I am absolutely enjoying each creation I made for this series! I hope you are getting a lot of inspiration for your holiday creations this year! For Day 9, I am focusing on Simon Says Stamp and Penny Black! I pulled out a back ground stamp called Snowflake Outline. This background is perfect for any medium you have in your stash or is your favorite to create with!  So I am going to use the same stamp and die sets for two cards, but you will see two completely different looks!  For card 1, used white embossing powder and a white pencil by Faber Castel... Simple, right? No need to color a solid image, but you definitely could! I chose a colorless blender pencil by Prismacolor to blend out the edges of my color line... Used a jagged edge die to make it is look like a frosted window added a sentiment, both from Penn Black and a hint of white pigment ink and there ya go!  For Card 2, let use some gold embossing powder, add some ink to the bottom of the design. You can chose which way you want to add your color, I chose to use a blender brush and a plain sponge (nothing fancy)... added some white pigment ink to the top to smooth out my ink edge and also make the top lighter! Used the same frame die and sentiment set as my previous card.... Added a little bling to this card using some metallic paper and metallic drops for accents! Here are just a few of the supplies I used making these cards... SSS Snowflake Outline Background Stamp Penny Black Antique Frame Dies Penny Black Christmas Sentiments Tim Holtz 8 x 8 Paper Pad - Metallic Gold/Silver Click on the video below so you do miss any of the craft detail so you can make some for yourself!

Welcome back for Day 8 of my 2018 Christmas Series! Today I am featuring My Favorite Things and Simon Says Stamp together! Now I have made a lot of tags, so lets get back to cards! For day 8 I am going to show you how you can make your own pattern paper and create 2 cards from 1 panel! Now dig into your stash and find that perfect die! This is one to have both a good negative and positive cut out! Not sure what I mean, just look below and see!  For these two cards I started out by making my background pattern using shades of blue ink. Once completed I added shading with my blender brushes...  I then placed my frame and focal die in place and cut out my design. YES save all your pieces! For the card with the negative cut out We made a shaker card!  For the second card I used the cut outs and placed my sentiment on the front and continued it in the inside of the card! Here are just a few products used to make these cards...
