​Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!
 
Today’s project I will be featuring the Crystal Lingo Stamp and Die Set and adding some color using watercolors and watercolor pencils!
 
Hello Everyone!

Let's grab some water, color and the Crystal Lingo Stamp and Die Set by Birch Press Design!  Stamp your image and let's add our color!  I chose watercolors and watercolor pencils, you could also use colored pencils or even alcohol markers.  Use what you have in your stash! 
 
Once this panel was dry, I stamped my sentiment onto the same card stock used for my image and since it is an outline sentiment, I used an emboss it pen to fill in the letters and then applied clear embossing powder to heat set!
 
I cut three matts to layer with my image…  Below are the measurements of the matts used for a card base measuring 3 ½ in x 8 ½ in.
 
First (Black) – 3 ½ in x 8 ½ in
Second (Aqua) – 3 ¼ in x 8 ¼ in
Third (Black) – 3 in x 8 in

These were layered together with fun foam for added dimension!

Hello Everyone!

Let's get those dies stretched and find yet another way to create our cards and get more use out of what we already have!

I noticed as I was digging in my Birch Press Layering Dies, there are sections that can be die cut separately to create another color scheme...  This made me think - FOCAL POINT!

Using simple shaped dies can also create another effect!  Our Frame...

When we think of a frame we automatically see a rectangle or square - but why can't we use a heart!

Once we use that die for our frame we now have yet another opportunity to create even more cards!  ...yet another FOCAL POINT!  LOL....

Hello Everyone!

I am here today with Birch Press Design creating multiple cards featuring the Viola Layering Die Set!  This set is three layers and they can be interchangeable to create many card fronts!

Basically you do not need to use all three layers at once!

What is a Christmas card though without a little bit of shimmer and a little bit of shine...

Hello Everyone!

I am here with a new product to review!

I was contacted by Viviva, this is a wonderful company that created color sheets for watercoloring and it is on the go!

Every get stuck in traffic? Of waiting for your appointment to finally start? Or maybe you are sitting at a game that is just going one and one, LOL...  Well here is the perfect way to pass that time and yup you guessed it ...  always be creative!

These are color sheets with wonderful and vibrant pigment so we can now watercolor on the go!  And wait until you see this, they thought of everything!  OK they are missing a cup of water, but we all have a water brush!

So grab yours and let's watercolor!
