Memory Box NEW Cheerful Floral Collection Card…

Hello Friday!  Here lately you don’t have to worry about me filling up your email inbox!   I do have NEW to show you though!

A beautiful collection that I really enjoyed working with…NEW from Memory Box.  You knew already, right?! lol

You can stamp your image and then die cut or die cut then stamp on the die cut.

I cut the shape first then stamped on it in the MISTI.

Then the fun begins!  There is a stencil set to use for coloring!!!!!  For the pinks I used Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry Oxide Inks, then an old Versacolor pigment cube for the darkest… Rose Red #23.

Greens were a trio of Bazzill Dye inks but I had a new set of Altenew I could’ve used laying right there on my desk! ugh.  I will link to them.

The light blue was Speckled Egg, Savage Patina and the brush for Peacock Feathers without inking it. All oxides.

For the yellow flower I used Antique Linen, Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber oxide and the brown oxide brush for the center without reinking it.

I am really happy with how it turned out…you know how it is…at several points during the process I was thinking this is not going to work! lol

So after I finished stenciling it I put it in the NEW 3D Cheerful Floral 3D embossing folder!  oh wow!  That just added so much!   I taped it in place in the folder.  It shifted a little so next time I’m thinking maybe just go half way, stop and run it through from the opposite end half way.

I used the Memory Box Rectangle Double Border Hot Foil Plate for the base panel…started with 4 ½ in x 6 ¼ in panel but ended up trimming the top and bottom.  It will still fit in an A6 envelope.

I think it’s nice to have a bigger than A2 size for super special cards sometimes!  Let’s go Hallmark! lol

I used some ribbon from Stampin Up from who knows how many years ago and the sentiment from Birch Press Design Celebrate Today Noted Script hot foil plate and die set in gold foil.

I mounted the floral piece with some of the thin mounting tape I love!  then the ribbon, then the sentiment mounted with the same thin mounting tape.  It should still travel for one stamp!

Holler if you have any questions!  I’m going to link up what I used below.  If you’re tempted to get this collection, I say go for it!  You’ll have fun and end up with beautiful cards without all the time coloring!  Win! Win!

Linking to some card challenges…

Ok – I’ll stop talking and get that list made below.

Spellbinders Stencil of the Month Club Card…

Hello! Welcome to my post for the Spellbinders NEW Stencil of the Month Club!  This month is a variety of stencils and I just used one of them!

On Neenah Classic Crest Solar White I inkblended with Peacock Feathers, Shaded Lilac, Peeled Paint and a little Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink and ink blending brushes.

Spattered on some water droplets and then white drawing ink.

Next I hot foiled a sentiment to vellum in Silver but it didn’t show up as good as I thought it should so I put a strip of green cardstock behind it.  I taped the green strip down, then wrapped the vellum strip around to the back of a panel so I didn’t have to use any glue or tape on the front.

I used a little white gel pen on the Be Bold Blooms die cut flowers.  Simple flower arranging…

Fun to have another card for the stash!

Thank you so much for stopping by! The sun is shining and making me sleepy!  lol  Talk to you again soon!

poppystamps Nordic Crown Flower and Scallop Pinpoint Hearts Slimline Card…

Hello everyone! How is it February already!  This month is going to fly by too! Our family is in the midst of preparing for a wedding!  One of our grandsons is getting married!  It’s pretty exciting but shopping for a dress and shoes…eek…time consuming!  I haven’t dreamed up a card for them yet! lol

I decided to play around with this new die set a couple weeks ago and had this idea but it ended up too large to be symmetrical so I tried it as a vertical slimline and didn’t like it at all until I turned it horizontal!  whew! lol

Are you enjoying the NEW Nordic line from poppystamps the last couple releases?  There’s a ton of designs!

I used the Nordic Crown Flower and Scallop Pinpoint Hearts here.  The smallest of the hearts.

I needed a sentiment so I went digging and found this Love Jotted Script from Memory Box and went with it.

I used some pink and green cardstocks from my ancient stash! lol

The white background panel is from a Hobby Lobby watercolor pad.

I’m linking to some card challenge blogs…

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Love is in the air

Double D Challenges – Heartfelt

The Flower Challenge #88 – Add a Heart

Triple B February Challenge – use 1, 2 or 3 of the B’s … Birds, Butterflies, Blooms.

Love is in the air a long with warmer temperatures here in Iowa.  We still have a few piles of snow working on melting…it was piled so high!

Thank you so much for stopping by and wish me well on dress and shoe shopping!  If you have any favorite places to shop, let me know!  I’m bad for being a last minute looloo!  waaaahhhh

Memory Box Card…Graceful Anemone Thank You

Hi everyone! A festive floral thank you that takes us right from Christmas to Valentines!  The NEW Anemone Collection from Memory Box is so pretty!  I’m not sure I’m doing it justice!

I wanted to try Distress Oxide inks on Bristol Smooth this time.  I added a little Copic R46 on the petals in the cut lines.

I embossed the NEW Anemone Bunches 3D Embossing Folder on a panel of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock.

Then I trimmed it down and inked the edge with a TE blending brush and Distress Oxide Rustic Wilderness ink.

For the leaves of the Anemone I used Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness.

I die cut the NEW Thank You Debut Script die in vellum and mirror gold cardstock.

Adhered the panel to an A2 Neenah Classic Crest cardbase.

It’s a dreary, melty day here but for some reason that works better for me for photos!  Lots of snow still to melt…so far none has seeped into the basement!  eek!

Hope this finds you well and enjoying January!  Wow!  It’s gone by fast!  Holler if you have any questions!

Thank you for stopping by!

Simon Says Stamp House Border Frame and Doodlebug Designs Happy Home Card…

Hi everyone!  I just got this NEW House Border Frame just in time to make and give away!

I stamped a little outdoor scene with Happy Home stamp set from Doodlebug Design and did some sloppy Copic coloring!

The little roof sections are a separate die so that’s nice and adds a little dimension.  I die cut them in black and glued them on.

Welcome to the neighborhood is from the stamp set also.

Spring is coming, right?! lol  A person can always think Spring no matter that it’s below zero in polar Iowa right now! lol

I used a dot paper from Hobby Lobby and the stripe from My Favorite Things.

The banner die is from poppystamps.

It’s an A2 size card.  Delivered with a loaf of homemade bread!  yay!

Happy weekend to you and thank you so much for stopping by!
