November and Birch Press

 Good Morning to You All and our sponsor for this month is
Birch Press!

Birch Press will give a prize of a $20 gift card,

The challenge for this month at Die Cut Divas is
Any Holiday of the Year!  

I love how glitter cardstock makes every Ornament card absolutely stunning, no matter the color.  This card die is one of the easiest to put together to make one of the most beautiful cards you can make. In RL, it is amazing.

No Sentiment, but looks fantastic without one. Usually I space the two (gold) layers closer together and it doesn't look like you need a sentiment or anything in between the space - seen here.

Same card with Sentiment - each letter is separately die-cut.
A sentiment of the same color glitter paper works out perfectly.


Top & Bottom panels on foam tape with Warm Wishes outline.
I never tried putting the two panels on foam tape before, but I do like the look.  You can fit the outline of the sentiment in perfectly.


Supplies:
Birch Press Christmas Ornament Pop Up Easel
Birch Press Warm Wishes Vintage Sentiment
Glitter Cardstock
Vagabond die cut machine

Now it's time for another card.  I picked these up in mid-August and found them so much fun to play with.  I got 3 sets of house dies and a Wavy Hillside die which is actually 3 die cuts so you can have an entirely different look.  I do like the way this came out.

Birch Press Wavy Hillside
Birch Press Littletown Cabins
Birch Press Littletown Home
