Memory Box Toolbox 3D Embossing Folder Birthday Card…

Hi everyone!  Today I’m sharing a card I made with the NEW Memory Box 3D Toolbox 3D Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies.

It’s so neat that you can die cut, then put the cuts into the folder to get all this detail!

I was inspired by Memory Box Dave’s card HERE.  It’s such a great design I pretty much copied it!

So fun!  Our grandson Rogan’s 9th birthday is today and he’s a great help with work around the house.  Of course boys love tools and knives!

I used the Memory Box Wooden Alpha Dies for his name.

Happy Birthday sentiment is white heat embossed on red with the Memory Box Best Life Typewriter Sentiments. It’s from 2019 and doesn’t look like it’s available anymore.  This would work also…Banner Greetings.

I used some Silver Foil and Glossy Black cardstocks for tool parts and Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool to age the Memory Box wood grain cardstock and kraft cardstock.

Everything is adhered with the thin mounting tape that I love, linked below, except for the little red happy birthday sentiment.

This card fits in a #10 business size envelope but it’s not as long as the usual slimline card.  It’s 3 ¾ in.  x  8 ¼ in.

Linking my card to some challenges…

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – anything goes

Can You Handle the Pressure? – Anything goes but must use an embossing folder

Cardz 4 Galz – #200 Slimline Birthday

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Hope it gets you thinking about man cards we’ll be needing later this month for dad’s too! I have two more family birthdays this month and two gals at stamp club.  No slacking on the card front here! lol

Memory Box Magnolia Blossom Trio and Vibrant Leaf Corner Card…

Hello! I had fun making some more magnolias this week!  Memory Box dies are so awesome to work with!

I used some old Bazzill cardstocks to get two tones but you could easy color the little pieces to get the same efect.

I ended up with a lot of pictures again…

I think this piece of pattern paper I used for the background is my favorite from the New Magnolia Grove 6×6 paper pad.

Not much to tell about this card… die cut, glue, hot foil and adhere the panel to an A2 cardbase.

I don’t know why but I really like this card!  The combination of the pretty papers, see the plaid from the NEW Magnolia Plaid 6×6 pad that I hot foiled and die cut with the Rectnalge Double Border Hot Foil Plate and A2 Rectangle Frames Die Set, and the pretty flowers with the Leaf corners…. love!

Unusual colors for me too…

Thinking about sending cards reminds me of the ones I need to get in the mail!  Do you have a pile on your desk that needs to go out too?

I hope this brings a little Spring beauty to your day!  It does to mine!

poppystamps Floral Vase Pop Up Easel Set Card…

Hello everyone! It’s Geranium season for hanging baskets around here!  Ferns on the front porch and Geraniums on the back porch.

They always inspire me to make a Geranium card!

This poppystamps Floral Vase Pop Up Easel is so cute!  It’s not huge, fits in an A2 size envelope but it’s slim and so dainty size wise.  I love it!

There’s not much to tell about it!  You just die cut the pieces, glue them together and onto the card!  I did use my favorite thin mounting tape for the vase and the sentiments.

I wrapped a little twine on it… can I make a card without twine?! lol

So sweet and cute with so many different flower dies in the set you can make any flower you want!

I used poppystamps Modest Greetings 2 Hot Foil and Cut die set and Memory Box Cardstock paper pads.

poppystamps easel cards are all so fun and easy and I love that they are easy to display too!  HERE‘s the Geranium I made last year with the basket easel card die set.

Spellbinders May Large Die and 3D Embossing Folder of the Month Clubs…

Hi everyone!  Time to introduce new clubs over at Spellbinders papercrafts!  It’s all about birthdays this time and boy they come around faster and faster these days! haha

A really fun 3D embossing folder that my photos don’t do it justice!  Getting used to a season change and light with photos again.

The die set has so many dies! You can make the banner as many levels as you want!  I was thinking the banner would be great for graduation cards too! Glossy Black!  Gold!  Silver! Besides the Happy Birthday To You words, there’s Wishes, Enclosed and Sending.  FUN!

Then there’s balloons and flowers!  Both would be great for any occasion and in any colors!

Also a great way to use up scraps! My card is an A7 size but would easy work for A2 or A6 also!

I’m getting excited about making grad cards now that I’m thinking and talking about it.  You could personalize it with alphabet dies or stamps with the name and year too!

To find out about Spellbinders Monthly Clubs, click/tap over to their website HERE.  It’s really easy and such a good deal! Links below to the clubs I used today.

thank you so much for stopping by!

Memory Box Magnolia Leaf Brand, Magnolia Bud Trio and Backyard Wren Mini Slimline Card…

This card says hello for me!  I had fun looking through the new paper pads and playing ‘matchy’! hahahaha  Almost felt like I was quilting again!

This release is stretching me!  I rarely use purple but not this time!  Purple it is!

This is such a sweet bird die… NEW….Backyard Wren.  So sweet and Memory Box just put a post up on Instagram showing it in all different colors!  So I decided I could use purple!  Why not!

I took pictures with a white background too but they look so washed out, I’m not posting them!  Crazy what a difference!

Cards always look better IRL even with all the awesome technology we have these days!

I die cut the Magnolia Leaf Branch, Magnolia Bud Trio and Backyard Wren in white Hammermill cardstock. I colored the branch and buds with Copic Sketch Markers and the wren with my distress oxide ink blending brushes.  I didn’t ink them just used the ink that was in them already.

I like coloring dies and cutting from colored cardstock.  I was thinking of the branch this time and knew I’d want the branch brown and leaves green.  It’d be really easy to do colored cardstock also…next time!

I used a new poppystamps die for the sentiment, Hello Moonlight Script.  What a fun name! What a beautiful font!  The white cardstock is Hammermill and the black is Memory Box Glossy Black. I love that cardstock so much.  I’m on my last sheet from the ten pack!

The pattern paper is the NEW 6×6 pads from Memory Box!   I’ll link them below with everything else.
