Memory Box…a three card kind of a day!

 

 PamSparksAberdeenBranches700

 

Spring, flowers and Memory Box! Today I’m sharing three cards using more of the Spring collection for this year.

I used the NEW Aberdeen Branches die for my first card…die cut in green, then used scraps of yellow and orange to cut extra flowers and the butterfly.  Trim those cuts and glue in the centers to the green cut.

The sentiment is from the NEW poppystamps clear set ‘Into the Words‘.

I used a white Signo Broad gel pen on the little white flowers and Ranger White Enamel Accents to make the green ‘buds’ white.

How about a CAS card using the NEW Pennington Rose die and NEW Kindness of People stamp…I love how this turned out. The beauty of a single Rose!

And one more card using the NEW Row of Poppies die, the NEW Open Studio Postage Rectangle Layers die set and the NEW Open Sudio Party Time Clear Stamp set. Poppies are layered on one of the Open Studio Stitched Rectangle Layers dies.

PamSparksFlorinaCornerPrimPoppy700

 

Hi everyone!  I know… a card finally! lol  CAS, Springy color and Memory Box pretty dies!

I die cut the Florina CornerPrim Poppy and Shaker Rectangle Frame dies in Black card-stock and glued them together.

I die cut one of the Studio Rectangle Layers dies in Pool card-stock and glued it to the back of the glued together black pieces.

I die cut the smaller Forest Hummingbird die in White card-stock and using a thin mounting square, adhered it over a flower.

Then I adhered the rectangle to a white A-2 card base.

Tied  hemp twine around and in a bow.  Added three enamel dots.

That’s it!  Fabulous dies together and don’t you love this pool color?!  I do!

Memory Box Open Studio dies…

 

PamSparksBannerILoveYou630

 

Hi everyone! Sharing another LOVE card with you on this pleasant Sunday in January!

I started out by cutting three of the NEW Open Studio Shaker Rectangle Frame dies and gluing them together with a narrow line of Tombow Mono Multi glue for the white frame.

Using the NEW Open Studio dies, A Lovely Smile, All About the Love and Amazing You dies I created the sentiment.

A heart from the NEW Open Studio set Cherub Hearts was trimmed a bit and glued to the frame.

Then I made the banner from the NEW Open Studio Banner Parade die set I love this set!  So many ways to be creative with it! Cut three times, layered together with mono multi glue and stuck on to the card with Scrapbook Adhesives mounting squares.

The hearts were all cut in red from the Banner Parade set also.

I edged the top folding A2 size kraft cardbase with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

That’s it!  A CAS valentine to get you in the mood for ‘love’! haha
