Bold and Bright Florals – Birch Press Design

June 29, 2024

Hello Friends! I hope you are having a great week!!!! Today I am sharing a colorful floral design with you using a few favorites from Birch Press! So let’s get started!

I started by die cutting 3 die sets: Star Flowers Contour Layers, Rose Leaves Contour Layers, and the Peeking Flower and Leaves set. I die cut each of these sets using watercolor cardstock. Once they were die cut I added color to each of the florals and leaves using Lindy’s Magicals. I allowed each layer to dry before adding more color. I then added shine to each of the layers using gold magicals.

I made sure each layer was completely dry, then I added more depth to each layer by adding dye ink to the edges of the leaves, as well as the floral layers. I then adhered all the layers together using liquid glue. I added foam tape behind the large leaves and then set these aside to work on my card panel background.

I started with a piece of pattern paper from the Gladiola Plaid paper pad from Memory box. I then found 2 coordinating pieces of paper from my stash. I ripped each of these peices for a distressed look and inked the edges using Vintage Photo distress ink. I adhered the layers of pattern paper together using liquid glue and then trimmed the panel with my deckle trimmer. I inked the edges using Vintage Photo Distress ink and then adhered the panel onto a top folding card base.

I then arranged the florals and leaves onto the card panel and once I was happy with the layout I adhered the layers using foam tape and liquid glue. I chose a Happy Birthday sentiment from the Happy Birthday Foil Greetings White Tabs set. I also inked the edge of the sentiment with Vintage Photo and then adhered this with foam tape. I had a lot of fun putting today’s card together and I hope this card inspires you to combine your die sets!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I will be back soon with more crafty inspiration!

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing a page i Hello crafty friends!  Today I am sharing a page in my ATC journal. I had so much fun playing with foam stamps from @joggles to create backgrounds! The backgrounds were created using a mix of acrylic paint and watercolors. I then stamped on each background using a combination of foam stamps: Punchinella Dots, Number Stack, and Alpha Stack.  I was able to create textures using these stamps with both paint and water.

The backgrounds were used to create today’s project! Be sure to check out the collection of foam stamps @joggles - they are really cool and have a lot of possibilities!

For my project today I am using the beautiful Floral Elements stamp and coordinating die set! I started by creating ink smooshed backgrounds using Distress Ink. I then stamped and heat embossed the florals and leaves. I then die cut them with the new coordinating dies. I added more depth and color using Distress Watercolor Pencils. I created the background panel using the Blue Palette Paper Collection, as well as a baseboard frame, and the blossom field embossing folder. I completed the project with a Tiny Text sentiment and die cut using the new coordinating sentiment strip dies! I love the new shapes in this die set!
