Hello Everyone!

I am here today with Birch Press Design creating 2 masculine cards featuring butterflies with a steampunk twist!

Today's project will be using the Butterfly Laying Dies -  Butterfly Basics and Starlight!

The twist is the 3D Embossing Folder by Memory Box and we even added a little gold embossing powder to give it that metallic look of metal...

​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....
