NEW Memory Box Cards…

Hello!  I’m enjoying the sunshine today!  It really warms up the house…thankful for that in this below zero weather we’ve been having!

Meanwhile flowers are growing in my stamp room!

Two cards to share with you today…NEW dies and NEW papers!

I inked up the NEW Blooming Anemone and NEW Elegant Anemone dies with Distress Ink and the mini blending tools.  I die cut the florals from Bristol cardstock and used Peacock Feathers and Pine Needles Distress Inks.

Two NEW 6×6 paper pads from Memory Box, Anemone Plaid and Anemone Grove.

I made this card base a mini slimline size. I do love this size…just something charming about it with the florals, inking and plaid.  Wish I could show it to you in person!

The florals are so easy to put together.  I love that.  I just follow the pattern on the envelope by laying the pieces on top of the picture!

Oh, the greens I used for the stems and leaves…Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Ink.

I used a poppystamps sentiment from the Modest Greetings 1 hot foil and cut die set.  Spellbinders gold hot foil.

Taylored Expressions Cardstock… I’ll link below.

The ribbon rolls in my photos are HERE

Linking this card to some challenges…

Triple B January 2024 Challenge – Blooms

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Let’s Have Some Fun!

NBUS Challenge #58 – Never Before Used Stuff!

Next card…

A NEW hot foild plate, Rectangle Dot Border.  I love how it looks like a faux spotlight!

I used the NEW Happy Birthday Debut Script die cut from the NEW Anemone Grove 6×6 paper pad, tone on tone piece that I used for the background panel.  For the Happy Birthday Debut Script backer, I used plaid from the NEW Anemone Plaid 6×6 paper pad.

I die cut a rectangle of vellum to fit inside the hot foil frame using the Rectangle Basics die set.

Everything is layered on an A2 White cardbase.

Three Doodlebug Design enamel dots for a little something!

I mounted the sentiment with the thin mounting tape I love, to the vellum panel first so I’d know where I could put glue on the back of the vellum to adhere it to the purple pattern paper.

Linking my Happy Birthday card to a new challenge!  Check it out!

Word Power #1 – a challenge using sentiments as the focus

That’s pretty much it!  Holler if you have any questions! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Links to what I used to make these two cards… I added some sentiment stamp sets to the end because I’m always looking for sentiments for the inside so I figure you might be too!

Spellbinders January Stencil of the Month Card…

Hello everyone! I’m starting 2024 with the NEW Spellbinders Stencil of the Month club.  Most of the gals have already posted bright floral, pretty cards so I was trying to think of something different and thought ‘go brown’!  I’m sure that doesn’t surprise you too much! lol

Want to know how the Spellbinders Clubs work?  Click HERE!

So here’s my take on it… I did the stenciling first in Distress inks…Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain.  Fun!  Something therapeutic about inking up layers!

I wanted some words to stamp around it randomly so I went digging through my Spellbinders stash.  I found the Kindly Deliver to my and the little envelope in the Parcel & Post Sentiments stamp set.  I just used the top part of the stamp.

I found the cancellation lines in the Holiday Hugs Sentiments stamp set.

Then I needed a main sentiment to complete my card!  There are sentiments on the stencils but I wanted something raised up.  I found this Warm Wishes in the Christmas Die and Glimmer Sentiments set.   Wishes is hot foiled and Warm is die cut out of gold mirror cardstock.

I spattered the card with walnut stain distress ink and gold calligraphy ink.

I edged with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and then I went around it with Walnut Stain Distress ink to give it a deeper brown on the very edge.

Layered onto an A2 size dark brown panel and then on to a kraft top fold cardbase.

I have another card to share soon and LOTS of NEW new new from Memory Box!  woohoo!

Thank you so much for stopping by and Happy New Year to you!

Spellbinders NEW Stencil Club!

Hi everyone! Here we are after Christmas and moving right on to the New Year faster that the speed of light!

Have you heard about the NEW Spellbinder stencil of the month club?  I’m sure you have cuz I’m late getting my card posted for December and it’s already closed!  Usually you can order them a month later though.

This set has four stencils.  I used Distress inks and the mini circle Tim Holtz blending tools.

I used Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover and Pine Needles for the greenery.  For the heart flowers I put down Kitsch Flamingo first, then some Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral! lol  You sure wouldn’t need to use all the pinks/reds! lol

I hated to cover up all the stenciling so I went with a fun hot foiled sentiment from the Spellbinder All Occasion Mailbox Greetings Hot Foil set.

I really like how clean and simple it turned out plus it was fast to make!

It’s an A2 size card and completely mailable! I noticed the post office was running cards through the machines even if they had ‘hand cancel’ and extra postage on them.  That is really frustrating.  I even received cards that were completely rigid that had been machined. So cardmakers just put a stamp on it and call it good!  I even received a pkg that was a stamp set and a die, weighed 1.8 ounces and only had one forever stamp on it and it still came intact and no extra postage envelope wanting me to pay extra!  All this technology isn’t speeding things up or accurate!  HOHOHO!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I went MIA because I needed to get some house stuff done and be ready with gifts and 27 ppl on Christmas Eve day!  WOW!  Did we have fun!  Still smiling about it.  I thank God for our family every day!  I hope you had a blessed Christmas too. Talk to you again soon!

Spellbinders September Die of the Month Card…

Hi everyone!  I’m late with my card for this month but I know a lot of you will be getting your club soon so I still want to share!

I have to say I loved putting this collection together!  Spellbinders dies are really well thought out and easy to stick together.

Here’s a short video with some tips I wanted to share…click/tap the bottom right corner to get full frame and full resolution.  It might take a few seconds to load.

Happy Fall is from the September Large Die of the Month Club.

Just die cutting, gluing and flower arranging.  Flower arranging takes me almost as much time as taking the pictures of the card!  Season change again and natural light is tricky for me!

Oh, when I wanted the green darker for stems and parts of the boots I used a copic marker to go over it.  Quick!  Then I edged everything with coordinating brushes, just using the ink that was in them.

So fun creating with this set!

I’ll come back later and add a link to the set when it’s back in the Spellbinders store.

poppystamps Whittle Napping Cat Hello Fall Card…

Hello with a cat going postal today!  I love the Memory Box double sided plaid papers so I started there with this card die cutting the poppystamps Large Stitched Envelope and Postage.  Kinda unusual colors for Fall  but I tried! lol

This piece of plaid is from the Jolly Christmas 6×6 pad.

I die cut the Leafy Vine Corner die by poppystamps from kraft and light green cardstock.  I just clipped the kraft apart with a scissors at the corner for the stems coming out of the envelope and cut the leaves off the light green die cut and glued them to the kraft cardstock stems.

The Whittle Napping Cat is die cut in kraft and inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and the mini ink blending tool. I glued a little square of black cardstock behind the nose.

It’s a top folding A2 size cardbase using TE cardstock.  A rectangle panel glued on, kraft color cord tied around and knotted.

I mounted the envelope with the thin foam mounting tape I love so well.  I use the scissors linked below to cut it.  It’s sticky but so great for adhering and mailing!

I die cut the two postage stamps from the TE cardstock also.  Scribble a little black on them…

That’s pretty much it!  I can see this envelope used in so many ways!  I almost started over but thought, I’ll use it again later for another occasion!

Oh… I used the outline part of the Hello Moonlight Script die set for the sentiment.  Die cut in gold foil cardstock.  Love that stuff!

Thanks for coming over to see what I’ve been up to!  Well, I didn’t post that I rearranged my kitchen counter this morning! lol  Do you do this too when you get a new appliance?  My thoughts are what can I get rid of! haha  Big old house but small kitchen, which I’m glad it’s small until all the family is home for Christmas! lol  We manage!

talk to you again soon!  Lots of NEW coming!  Suspense!  It’s good!!!!
