Hi everyone! A peek at what I made with this collection for the Spellbinders Paper Arts Blog HERE.
Three Cards with this new collection. You’re going to love it!!! All the things….stamps, dies, embossing folders and stencils!
Thank you so much for stopping by and you know I appreciate you looking, sharing and commenting!
oh happy day, I mean bird! So cute and festive on the snowy log! I love making Christmas cards with foliage, greenery and brown elements.
The Happy Dance Bird and Merry Christmas Stylish Script dies are from the newest Memory Box release. I die cut the bird in white and inked in some blue oxides and then a little gathered twigs too.
The background panel I embossed with the Pinecone and Berries 3D embossing folder in white cardstock. The colors really pop against embossed white!
I used a bunch of other dies but you could easy use whatever you have. This birdie could stand on about anything! Maybe even be a tree topper! lol
Notice the little dots of white on the berries…it’s the new White Contour tube that Cindy from Starlitstudio sent me to try! WOW! It’s the best white of any so far and there’s sure been a lot. It makes the best dots down to this teeny tiny easy! I’m so impressed! I’m getting the gold next. hehe
I took a bunch of pictures, posting several because the lighting shows some things better.
The Snowy Log is one of my favorite accessory type dies and so easy to make up too! The wood grain happens when you die cut it! No extra step to achieve it! yay!
Pine Branches and Pinecone Duo dies for the pine elements.
Festive Holly for the greenery elements.
So cute! This bird has personality and sure to bring a smile to the receiver!
The white panel is A2 size but I wanted some of the card base to show so it’s going to need an A6 or A7 envelope to mail. It shouldn’t need any extra postage.
I’m going to link my card to some challenge blogs…

Hello everyone! Have you seen this new die set from Memory Box? Well, it’s not the latest release but it wasn’t that long ago!
Just something about pails with flowers…I’m kinda envious of gals with flower gardens that can go pick whenever they want too. I’m not envious of the work involved though! So it’s paper flowers for me!
Funny story for you…. I decided to die cut the flowers in white and Copic color them so I grabbed a scrap of white from my white scrap bag. Put it down on the dies and when I took the flowers out of the die, I saw the print on there! lol I almost threw the pieces away but then I thought, I should just use these for fun! I probably could never do this on purpose and like it! lol
It really wasn’t hard because the pieces are grouped well! Here’s a picture of what the dies look like and then three pictures of the cuts. I did cut the two floral dies twice but you don’t need to.
I went by the picture on the package on how to put the flowers together and how to arrange them on the card. Most are just two pieces!
I did some inking with brushes on the pail and then some black spattering. Inking on the leaves also.
I colored the flowers with Copics but you could use any medium.
I used a little of my favorite thin mounting tape on the main flowers for the arrangement.
Then I just cut a black cardstock panel 4 inches x 5 ¼ inches and using my score-pal, scored all fours sides in ¼ inch. I love how the pail and flowers stand out against black!
OH, I didn’t have room for a big sentiment even though I wanted to use one. I used one of the Happy Birthday Foil Greetings Black Tabs.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this card makes you smile and inspires you to make something too!
Here’s the products I used to make this card…tap/click the abbreviations to see the product.
(I hope these links work. I just spent an hour trying to do this. They are changing affiliate websites and making us jump through all kinds of hoops and it feels like such a waste of time. Let me know if you appreciate having the links like this because it takes so much time and I always wonder if it’s worth it!)

Hi everyone! Back to stamping and color pencil coloring. Fall images are so fun to color! Bring on the brown, orange, green and gold!
I used the NEW Pumpkin Blessings stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and the STAMPtember release. I said this on my last SSS post and here I am saying it again. I love how Simon Says Stamp stamps stamp! I used the MISTI. Stamping is so sharp/crisp!
There are dies to go with the stamp set and they’re detabbed! I don’t have them but you have the choice to order the combo or the stamps just by themself.
I used a Simon Says Stamp embossing folder, Margot Tile. Then just a light touch of ink blending over it with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.
Several options for sentiments in the set!
Have you checked out the release? AND everyday there is a new release of collaborations! So fun! What do you think? I’ve ordered one day so far but the temptation! lol
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!
Links to the supplies I used for this card…

‘Wishing You A’ on the outside and ‘Merry Christmas’ on the inside! I’m always happy when I can get the inside of a card finished too! I think I’ll go back and add holly leaves and berries on the inside though. I took a picture but it’s holly less! lol
Another Christmas card to add to the stash… yay!
I enjoyed working with the ‘parts’ from this new Christmas Foliage die set. Everything for the wreath is from this set! I die cut threes and fives of each piece. Then cut a circle frame to use to keep me in a circle shape while gluing the pieces on.
I’m not a floral arranger/designer at all so it’s funny I pick this kind of thing to do with paper! lol But I’m usually really happy with the result so that’s what counts, right?!
I used another new die set in the release for the panel… Bow & Bell Scallop Frame. The kraft cardbase is inked a little with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool.
The sentiment on the front and inside is from the NEW Merry Sentiments Clear Stamp and Die set. You stamp the whole thing and then die cut the whole thing! So yes, you’ll have extra for another card! And yes, it needs holly in there! lol
Here’s a few more pictures! It’s an A2 size card and won’t take extra postage!
Just enough depth… I only used super thin mounting tape under the left side of the wishing you banner. The rest is glued direct to the circle frame that you can’t see.
And that’s all folks! Yesterday was a good picture day! lol
Thank you so much for stopping by and check out my links below for this neat release… Lots of ways to use these sets!
