Hi everyone!  Here’s a charming little garden scene, a reminder that Summer is still kinda hangin’ around!

A close up of the flowers I cut from the Botanic Frame set…love how it cuts and embosses too!

Love the purple pearls…they just give it that little bit of bling that makes the card sweet.

Next up… a Christmas card. Carrying over the purple!

The Silver Mirror-card cuts and embosses so pretty!  Quite striking IRL!

Memory Box… Summer…

w

How about some gingham whimsy today?!  oh and some dots!  Love the Small Circle Burst die cut in the Bluebird Gingham Memory Box card-stock. I backed it with Squash Dots Memory Box card-stock.

My card made it into the Splitcoast Stampers Weekly Favorites!  Thank you Sharon!

Weekly-Favorite

I started this card back in June…kept changing my mind about this and that…then the new Merry and Bright collection came out and I got side tracked with Christmas cards!  Then it worked out to try the NEW Melinda Corner and the NEW Pinecone Corner dies for the bottom…

I think they would even work for a man’s birthday.  Love the silver truck! : )  Oh wait…my friend Linda drives a silver truck…perfect for her! hehe

Here’s the other one…

Memory Box Easel card and video…

So excited to share an Easel card with you today… it’s a multiple easel, Easel card!  I love working with Memory Box and Poppystamps dies and papers…to really see the card well in the video, change the ‘gear’ to HD and click the full screen.  It’s so much better BIG!  : )   This was my 3rd take… the first two…well,  I got the measurements and names right but messed up with construction!  oh well…be sure to note the ‘notes’!  Hope it inspires you to use your dies… hehe

I show the construction process and tell the sizes in the video…

I LOVE the addition of the kite to this scene!   It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

You can swing for awhile… grab a friend and go for a bike ride and even rest for awhile on the awesome park bench!

I used all Memory Box card-stocks… Water, Dill, Granny Smith, Vanilla Bean, Licorice, Crimson and White.  So much fun!  Holler if you have any questions… I think between the video and the photos it’s pretty much self explanatory!
