Memory Box Pine Tree Hill Card and Birch Press Design Splendor Bevel Card…

October 26, 2019October 26, 2019 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! Happy card Saturday! Can’t say happy winter yet! whew! lol

I started out making a Distress Oxide background A2 size panel with Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot inks. I used the round foam mini blending tools for this because I put down a pretty heavy layer of each ink.

I let it dry, spattered it with water, spattered it with gold ink, let it dry again and die cut it with the new Memory Box Starry Burst die.

I die cut and embossed the new Memory Box Pine Tree Hill die from Classic Crest 110# cardstock, stamped happy Winter from the Memory Box Winter Greenery clear stamp set, with the We R Memory Keepers Precision Press Advanced Platform… love this set!

I attached the tree panel to the background panel with foam mounting tape. That’s it!

Peace always makes me think blue and night sky-ish! Here I went with blue glitter cardstock for the panel behind the new Birch Press Design Splendor Bevel Plate and Mini Splendor Bevel Plate sets… glam it up!

Die cut everything in white and then layer it up!

For the Holly, I grabbed a Memory Box die, Antique Holly Label and poppystamps Holly Outline for the berries. Die cut them from glitter cardstock too!

The beautiful Peace die is also new from Birch Press Design, Peace Honey Script. I can’t wait to use it by cutting the background layer die from a cardstock panel and the word peace mounted on the card base inside the background cut. Like I did on this card…

Thanks for stopping by! I’ll be back soon!

Hi everyone! A super CAS card for you today….all I did was put the new Memory Box Watercolor Woodland Washi tape on a piece of kraft/toffee cardstock, die cut the new Peace Airy Script die and white heat emboss the words ‘on Earth’ from the Tidings Wreath stamp set. This washi tape is so pretty! I’ll link up below but be sure and check out the other new washi too!

Lawn Fawn Build A House Christmas Tags…

October 21, 2019October 23, 2019 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! Last week Thursday I got to have a craft day with one of our granddaughters Lizzie Faith. One of the things we did was play with this new Lawn Fawn Build a House die set. I’ll link below. It’s not very often I get grands one on one so we made the best of the day!

Here’s my two tags and then I’ll add a picture of Lizzie Faith and her tag. She also made a couple cards with the Spellbinders Merry Everything Card kit and then she drew and Copic colored an 8×10 picture of Dragon Prince. The girls got talent drawing!

I just picked out scraps in some teals and pinks and started die cutting. I was inspired by Kay Miller’s tags HERE! So festive and fun… always love what Kay designs and makes!

I did end up adding some white gel pen embellishing and glossy accents to the light bulbs. I die cut the main house piece inside the fold so I’d have a tag with an opening card. If you look close, you can see that’s how my tags are standing up.

Funny how flat photos the color changes some… I liked the picture though. lol

Ok – here’s Lizzie Faith working on her tag…

And here’s her finished tag! She added snow and sparkle! A sweet gingerbread house!

So fun, we need to do more craft days around here… Summer is so busy with swimming and gymnastics, we don’t get as many cardmaking days in.

Thanks for stopping by and hope we made you smile!

MFT Hop, Flip and a Jump Interactive Birthday Card…

October 18, 2019October 18, 2019 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing a birthday card for one of our grandsons that just turned 7 the end of September. He’s a tramp lovin’ boy for sure and can run like the wind!

I used some newer My Favorite Things stamps and dies… perfect for our grands who all love the tramp. I had a $25 gift certificate that I’d won on a challenge that helped me buy the awesome Interactive Up Down Die set! We’ll need to use it a lot!

I followed the MFT Design Team gal Laura’s instructional video on how to do it. I reinforced the mechanism by gluing 3 die cuts together though, it really needed the strength! I haven’t asked but I’m hoping it’s still working on the card! hehe

Super cute and easy to color! I was so happy with how it turned out! I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Ink and cut the images out with the Scan and Cut 350, then colored with Copic Sketch Markers. There are coordinating dies, I’ll link them up below.

Then it was just assemble like Laura’s video! You can find it on the MFT You Tube Channel. Here’s my video of it in action! Click HERE to see it BIG… much better on the You Tube channel.

It’s an A2 size card…

Thanks for stopping by! Hope it made you smile!

New Memory Box Snowman Circle Collage and Bauble Snowflake Corner Card…

October 16, 2019October 16, 2019 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Frosty here… and yes he does come with two hats and a scarf, so cute! I left him plain jane today but it’s still magical frosty with this beautiful Bauble Snowflake Corner! HERE he is made up (by MB owner, Dave) all colorful cute on the cover of the new Look Book.

I die cut and flat glued everything. Stamped the sentiment with We R Memory Keepers Advanced Precision Press and Black Archival ink.

I added a few baby white pearls on the snowflakes and black tiny gems for his buttons.

A very sweet, clean and simple card. He’ll be back again someday!

I hope you’re enjoying all the new products from Memory Box! During September, Simon Says Stamp had posts on Instagram introducing stamp and die company owners. One they posted was Dave and Monica that own Memory Box, poppystamps and Birch Press Design! So if you click HERE, it’ll take you to that post and you can meet them and see their picture! (you might have to scroll up, over in the text part to read the post) Fun!

Thank you for stopping by! Talk to you again soon!
