Memory Box Bouquet Blooms and Leaves and Butterfly Coterie Collage Card…

May 18, 2022 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi and hugs to everyone today! Memory Box has lots of NEW flower dies and word dies too! I love how this hugs snugged up into the card design!

I started with an A2 cardbase in extra heavyweight kraft cardstock. Next I die cut the NEW Butterfly Coterie Collage die in a white panel I cut a half inch smaller than A2 width and height.

Then I die cut the Bouquet Blooms and Leaves NEW dies in Canson XL watercolor paper and colored them with Distress reinkers. I sprayed water on the cuts and then brushed on some of the refill and let it spread, added more until I was happy-ish. I kinda like the brightness of the colors against the white and kraft!

I used Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac reinkers.

I die cut the NEW Hugs Daily Script dies in white cardstock and the New Memory Box Black Glossy Heavyweight cardstock. I really like this glossy black. I think I say that every post these days! lol

I tied on the jute before I adhered it with thin mounting tape to the kraft cardbase.

There is a stencil that you can buy separately that coordinates with this Butterfly Coterie Collage. I’m thinking…what to make with them together!

Memory Box NEW RELEASE!!!

May 11, 2022 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! Have you tried Hot Foil plates yet? I didn’t think I would but Memory Box has come out with a bunch! So here I am, jumping in with both feet! It’s really easy and look how beautiful the NEW Posh Happy Birthday Hot Foil Plate and Cutting Die set is in gold on Memory Box Glossy Black heavyweight cardstock! WOW!

So I created a card with three other NEW dies, Sweet Poppy Stem, Ruffled Poppy Stem, Graceful Poppy Stems and Memory Box 6×6 cardstock paper pads.

This card came together easily! The flower parts fit together so well… I just followed the picture on the front of the envelope/packaging. I did mount them with really thin foam mounting tape.

The shine is so pretty in real life and not quite this gold in color. I should’ve been thinking while snapping pictures to make sure I captured that but alas, I didn’t! ugh.

I used the Memory Box Stylish Rectangle Trio, the largest size die, to frame these beauties!

Have fun checking out the new release and if you ever have any questions about size or want a picture of a die, just holler at me!

Thank you so much for stopping by! More to come!

My Favorite Things Birdie Brown Sittin’ Pretty and Lawn Fawn Platform Pop Up Card…

May 7, 2022May 7, 2022 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! I LOVE cute! I don’t make it near as much as I used to but I still love cute and coloring!

This is the NEW Lawn Fawn Platform Pop up die and MFT Birdie Brown Sittin’ Pretty stamp and die set.

They’re small images so fast coloring! Every girl should have a birdie singing happy birthday to her don’t you think?!

Tim and I have three granddaughters that turned 17 already this year! HOW? Time flies indeed! Just yesterday they were playing house!

This fits in an A2 size envelope. If you used taller images, you’d need to use a larger or square envelope.

I used paper from my ancient stash…

The fence is from poppystamps. Colored with Copic Sketch markers.

Thank you for clicking over! I’ll be back soon with NEW from Memory Box, poppystamps and Birch Press Design!!! You can see the new at Starlitstudio.net and Simon Says Stamp!

Here’s what I used to make this card…I’m linking the platform pop up but it’s out of stock everywhere. ugh

May 1, 2022 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hello! I have a Simon Says Stamp card to share with you using the NEW from the HAPPY AND JOYFUL release, A2 Marquee Die! Three dies in this set and I love it! I kept this card pretty CAS but I can see some stitching happening with this set!

I also used the NEW from the last release Stained Glass Bird die and from a release before that, the Fine Textured Leaf die set. I die cut the bird in white three times, keeping the pieces intact, glued them together and then die cut one in blue/green and glued it on top I love all the detail in the leaves and the shapes!

The sentiments ‘hello’ and ‘Happiest of Birthdays to you’ inside are from the Simon Says Stamp Sketched Flowers clear stamp set. Beautiful sentiments for all occasions!

poppystamps and Memory Box Flower Field Card…

April 28, 2022 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Thinking ahead a little for some Mother’s Day inspiration. I had fun ink blending a piece of bristol card and die cutting it with poppystamps Flower Field and Potpourri Flower dies!

I ink blended with Saltwater Taffy, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink pads and TE Ink Blending Brushes.

The light really catches the gems and sparkles so beautifully!

I used the NEW poppystamps Flower Field Frame die to emboss a design on a white cardstock panel.

I die cut the NEW poppystamps Flower Field Tall Curve Border die from the ink blended card two times and three of the flowers from the NEW Potpourri Flower Set from the leftover scraps of the ink blended card.

I die cut MOM from the Memory Box Wooden Alpha die set.

I trimmed the white panel down and layered it with thin mounting tape to a white A2 cardbase.

I adhered all the die cuts with Tombow mono multi glue and added a white heat embossed sentiment from poppystamps Contempo Greetings stamp set with mounting tape.

Memory Box Fairy Jewels in Pastel added for the flower centers. I love how it turned out!

Thank you for stopping by! May is coming for us in the midwest and there won’t be a shortage of flowers!
