Memory Box…more Christmas!

PamSparksHollyWreath700

Deck the Halls with boughs of Holly… this is the NEW Fabulous Holly Wreath die from Memory Box.  I cut it twice and layered it up on two cuts of the Bramble Circle die.  A piece from the Pine Needle Border (love this die) and top it off with four cuts of the half bow from the Crisp Bows dies.  I love these Glitter domes too… link below in shopping for supplies links.

I stamped the Winter Collage Background stamp in brown ink on Memory Box Kraft card-stock.  Stamped it again on Cranberry to get an extra bird, cut it out and mounted it on the full stamped piece.

Mounted the Kraft piece to Cranberry, to Vanilla Bean and then to a Vanilla Bean Distressed Dots card base. I used the Perfect Layers Tools to cut the mats/layers.  No snow on this one but you could sure add some to cool things off! haha

Just can’t get enough of the NEW Pinecone Corner die…love the NEW Hayden Twigs die with Frosted Lace Stickles and Glitter Domes!  How cool is the NEW Snowcap Ornament die in Cranberry Dots card-stock!  The little snowflakes I cut out of NEW Gabriella Border die and put White Glitter Domes in the centers. It all just pops on the white card.  Sure reminds me of how bright the fresh fallen white snow is!

I’ll sign off and we’ll go back to celebrating Summer! : )  I sure do notice that it’s getting darker earlier every week… that’s what I miss most in the Winter… I like the extra hours of light in the Summer!

Thanks for the blog visit today!  I always love hearing from you!  I’ll be back Friday!

A little non-traditional on the colors here but I love kraft with red and white…throw in the Memory Box color Pool and it’s a winter wonderland!

I used the NEW Sussex Globe and Precious Mittens dies… the NEW Walking in a Winter Wonderland stamp.

Red Glitter domes and small and medium pearls for a touch of bling… I love it!  Hope you do too!  (I put links below to glitter domes…I love them! used them last  year too)

PamSparksHollyFrameScene

Merry Christmas and to all a good night! I’m posting today on the Memory Box blog… the last day of the Merry and Bright Blog Blitz!  Be sure to click over and comment for a chance to win!

It’s been so fun to introduce this new collection from Memory Box!  I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing how the NEW dies and stamps look!  This is an A-6 size card.

My card today uses the NEW Holly Holiday Frame die set, Peace Script die, Holiday Hats dies, Mini Holly Leaves die, Deers in the Field stamp and “to all a good night” stamp. 

Memory Box Kraft, Cranberry and Dill note cards and card-stock…a couple red gems and it was done.  

I love the beautiful embossing on this NEW Holly Holiday Frame die… I used a dauber to add gold Delicata ink to the embossing while the die cut was still in the die.

I’d take some snow right now, here in Iowa!  It was so hot and humid yesterday.  At 8 p.m. it was still 90˚! We went out to go for a bike ride but came right back in! lol

I love making scenes with Memory Box dies and stamps!  A Sapphire notecard for the card base, Dill, Vanilla Bean, Sapphire and white notecards to cut the dies from.  Someone, please makes some snow! lol   OK – I’ll settle for staying inside in the air conditioning!

PamSparksManorHouseSnowFront700

Keep cool and stamp on!  yikes!  Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoying my snow! I’ll be back Friday with two posts!  This week of posting could easy be a record for me!  Never fear,  I won’t be able to keep it up! lol

Take care and thanks again!  I appreciate your comments and encouragement so much!
