Memory Box Layered Polar Bear Snowglobe Card…

October 19, 2022October 19, 2022 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! There’s a chill in the air so time for a polar bear! This guy is so cute enjoying the polar weather! lol

More NEW dies from Memory Box. Layered Polar Bear, Alpine Snowflakes, Layered Birds, Nested Globe Bases and the scarf from Tall Bundled Snowman.

So fun. I love dies that can be mixed and watched for a variety of designs!

I used a scrap from one of last year’s MB paper pads, Woodsy Plaid.

The sentiment is from the Birch Press Design Contempo Christmas Greetings clear stamp and die set.

I used the thin mounting tape that I like so well. You get just enough dimension but still easily mailed.

A beautiful sentiment from the NEW Sweet Christmas sentiment clear stamp set.

The check pattern paper is from the same paper pad.

He’s cute! Black Glossy cardstock for his nose and eyes and a little ink on his tummy.

Copic on his paws. The gray background is one of the pieces I did on a Saturday afternoon following Jill Foster’s video. I had so much fun making them! HERE is the video if you want to make some!

I couldn’t get my camera to focus right on this guy so I ended up with phone pictures. Sorry for my hand being in them. ugh.

thank you for visiting! I appreciate it and I will be back soon!

Birch Press Design Piped Icing Star Merry Christmas Slimline Card…

September 14, 2022September 14, 2022 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! Getting festive here on the blog today! I love this folky Christmas ‘look’! I’ve never been a cookie decorator but now I can with paper! lol

Die cut the star in TE Toffee Cardstock and ink with Vintage Photo. Die cut the icing in white and copic color the star center border.

Same idea with the new BPD Handwritten Merry Christmas and Outline.

I added holly leaves and berries from the new BPD Herbarium Plate Layer A. TE Cherry Pop and Sweet Basil cardstocks inked with Vintage Photo ink also.

hmmm…now I’m looking at it and wondering if it needed some fairy glitter glue highlights?! lol

I used the thin mounting tape that I love so well to mount everything to the Cherry Pop panel.

I’m linking to some Christmas Challenge blogs…

Birch Press Design Adornment Santa Card…

September 7, 2022 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s looking a little festive here today! A super cute Santa in classic Memory Box style! I love it!

This is the NEW Adornment Santa die from Birch Press Design. Die cuts in white, a flesh color and red cardstocks.

I added a couple dies that aren’t available anymore, the holly and the postage frame. I know we all have a collection though! hoho

Be Merry is heat embossed with white embossing powder and this sentiment from the BPD Contempo Christmas Greetings. There is a circle surrounding it but I didn’t ink it.

HOHOHO is from Poppystamps Marzipan Alphabet die set.

My plaid pattern paper is from Dashing Holiday Memory Box 6×6 paper pad.

My card turned out 4 ½ in x 6 ½ inches so it will fit in an A7 envelope and post for one forever postage stamp!

So happy with this card! Yay! I hope you like it too!

Tomorrow night at midnight EST, I’ll have a Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember post with a collaboration! You can guess with who! lol

talk to you again soon!

Birch Press Design Herbarium Plate and Adornment Dove Card…

August 5, 2022August 8, 2022 Pam Sparks11 Comments

I’m back! I didn’t put the glitter cardstock pads away!

Another die cut and glue fast and easy card you could mass produce!

Using the NEW Birch Press Design Herbarium plate Layer A and NEW Adornment Dove dies!

I die cut layer A in the blue green and green. I had to shim the blue green layer with a folded piece of copy paper to completely cut it (the glitter cardstock is thick) so I knew when I ran the green piece through, it wouldn’t completely cut out the design. When you layer the green under the blue green it really adds to the depth if it has the design partially cut into it. I should’ve taken a picture! I hope that makes sense!

I added two strips of 2 inch scor-tape on the back of the green layer to make sure all the pieces stayed in it and then I just used that to adhere it to a white A2 cardbase.

I glued the blue green layer over the green layer with Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue.

I die cut the solid backer Adornment Dove die in the champagne-ish color glitter cardstock and the outline Adornment Dove in white glitter cardstock.

I LOVE that there’s a backer die for this dove!

Die cut the berries with scraps of red glitter cardstock… there are only three sets of berries, so easy to glue in if you put small pieces scro-tape on the back of the blue green layer before adhering it to the green layer.

Die cut the Peace Honey Script die from red and white glitter cardstock and glue it on. I used small pieces of mounting tape on the leg of the ‘p’ and behind the ‘c’.

Easy! yay! Another card done…almost… I didn’t stamp the inside yet! I’ll be sorry later! haha

Thank you for stopping by to see this. It’s so pretty IRL. I wish I was a professional photographer that could capture the true glitter and sparkly of this cardstock!

I’m thinking this dove could be made into an ornament and even layered on a gift loosely with a tag! So pretty!

Birch Press Design Christmas Ornament Pop Up Easel Card…

August 4, 2022 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! Welcome to my attempt to show how glittery amazing this glitter cardstock from Memory Box is and how fun to use it with this new BPD release! I’m sitting here looking at the real card wishing I could just show it to you IRL because it is so sparkly and pretty!!!

This was a fast card to make…all die cutting and so easy with a pad of 6×6 glitter cardstock!

Here it is from the side. I die cut a white cardstock base with the easel die in the set, then I die cut from the glitter paper and glued it to the white card die cut. Because of the 6 x 6 size of the glitter cardstock, I had to make it in two pieces. It worked fine, you really can’t tell it.

I’m going to say it again… it was so easy to make! lol Cut and glue! This would be a great card for a class or a cardmaker get together!

I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the BPD Christmas Ornament and Labels stamp and die set but I couldn’t decide if I wanted on the card for the pictures! So it’s laying off to the side. I will glue it on when I send it.

So pretty too… just glam it up!

It could easy be made into an ornament to hang on the tree or a gift tag!

It folds up so nice and will easily fit in an A2 envelope and mail for one postage stamp.

I added a Memory Box Christmas Fairy Drop in red on the bow. Boom! Done! Taking pictures, trying to capture glitter cardstock took longer!

***Bonus – None of this glitter comes off!!! Thank you Memory Box! lol

Thank you for visiting today!
