4 Cards with the NEW poppystamps and Memory Box Releases…

Hi everyone!  How are you?  December was a wild month for me, glorious but busy! ❤  Here I am, back on the blog!  lol

Big Hugs to you and I hope you had a Beautiful Christmas and are looking forward to a happy cardmaking New Year!  I am!

I love hearts!  No surprise since my blog name!  This NEW Heartfelt Pinpoint Frame from poppystamps makes me happy!  I cut strips from Memory Box 6×6 cardstock paper pad scraps.  I loved that I was able to use some of the strips that are left after making A2 size cards!  It was really easy to use the different tones to inlay the hearts and I love how it turned out!  YAY!

Two lengths of 2 inch Scor-tape on the back to hold the hearts in place.

I kept it really clean and simple because I didn’t want to cover up the hearts!

For the sentiment I used the poppystamps You Are Amazing Poe Script Greetings Hot Foil Plate and Dies from the Spring release.

I added some brown twine to finish it off and adhered it to a white A2 size cardbase with my favorite thin mounting tape.

This NEW poppystamps release has three coordinating products in it. My first card uses the die, my second the stencil.  There’s also a Hot Foil Plate but I didn’t get that used for this post.

Now I’m thinking I should’ve embossed this next card’s panel with the die after I stenciled!  I liked it so well after I inked it though, I was happy! lol

 

Here I used the NEW poppystamps Criss Cross Heart Stencil that coordinates with the Heartfelt Pinpoint Frame die.

I used the NEW poppystamps Vintage Scalloped Heart dies on top of the NEW Memory Box Pinpoint Burst Heart die.

I used watercolor papers that I’d painted with Fired Brick and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks.

The LOVE sentiment is the NEW Love You Gallery Script die from Memory Box.

Let’s Connect is from poppystamps Contempo Greetings stamp and die set.

From cute to cuter!  The hearts needed some critters!  I love the cute fox and beaver additions!

I couldn’t help but add a little strip of one of the plaids I haven’t used yet from the Memory Box Jolly Christmas 6×6 pad  I love this one for Valentines!

 

I used two whittle stamp sets for the sentiment on this card…Whittle Everyday for the all you need part and Whittle Wild Animal Sentiments for the word fox.

I trimmed the Whittle Tree Border die to get the three trees.

Whittle Happy Fox and Whittle Sleepy Fox are die cut in white, colored with Copics and edges inked with inky ink blending brushes.

Black multiliner in the crease lines.

 

 

Beavers are always popular for Valentines, have you noticed?  I guess they go around stealing heart! hoho

I used the Whittle Beaver for this card…die cut in white and colored and ink the same as the fox.


I had to embellish it with one of the NEW poppystamps Teardrop Butterflies!  What charming images they are!

The NEW poppystamps Vintage Scalloped Heart used again here with Red and White cardstocks.

Sentiment from Contempo Greetings again, white heat embossed on Memory Box Black glossy cardstock.

 

All four cards are A2 size.

I hope I didn’t forget too much!  Email me if you have any questions!

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I still have some Christmas to post and some birthdays too!  eek!  And January is a big birthday month for our family.

I hope I’m not the only one shaking my head that 2022 is already moving right a long into 2023!  I have so many things I want to make…is that you too? ❤

ttul,

poppystamps Stacked Joy and Layered Holly Branch Mini Slimline Card…

Hi everyone!  A festive JOY card to share today! If I had to choose a word that is fun to create with this time of year, I would pick the word JOY!  This NEW from poppystamps Stacked Joy die is wonderful! 

I had fun making it grungy this time but I’m thinking it would be great for a clean and simple creation also!

I used Taylored Expressions cardstock, toffee, Cilantro, Poblano Pepper and Cherry Pop. Bazzill Gold Foil cardstock for the Stacked Joy outline.  I kept the gold letters to use with the red outline.

I trimmed the NEW poppystamps Layered Holly Branch down to using the top three and stuck them here and there.  So happy to have this die!  It worked out so well with the NEW Pine Needle Shoots and the berries from the NEW Layered Holly Leaf Trio dies. 

I went with the Mini Slimline size card – 3 ½ x 6.

I used Gathered Twigs Distress ink and a mini ink blending tool to brown everything up a little.

The little, trimmer and handcut plaid banner is from the NEW Memory Box Jolly Christmas plaid 6×6 paper pad!  Gorgeous papers! 

I heat embossed a sentiment on the inside from the NEW poppystamps Christmas Sparkle clear stamp set.  I love this set! So many perfect sentiments and this wonderful font!

This card makes me happy and the fact that the inside is done too!  whoop! lol

Email me if you have any questions!  Thank you so much for visiting my blog!

poppystamps Pondering Layered Deer in the Iced Pine Trees Mini Slimline Card…

Hi everyone!  Welcome to a Winter Wonderland using NEW poppy dies and the NEW Memory Box Jolly 6×6 pattern paper pad.  The plaids in this pad are gorgeous!

I die cut and laid everything out before I cut the plaid paper.  I decided to go with the Mini Slim size, completed it is 3 ½ x 6 inches.

I used the NEW poppy Proper Merry Christmas die cut in TE Cherry Pop Red cardstock and Hammermill White cardstock.

The NEW poppy Pondering Layered Deer is die cut in TE Toffee cardstock and inked with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool.

The scarf is colored with Copic E07 and the antlers with Copic E47.

The NEW Iced Pine Trees are cut in TE Toffee Cardstock also and Hammermill White for the snow. I colored the trees with Peeled Paint Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool.

I used an older Memory Box die for the snowy hills,  Stitched Curves.

I mounted the sentiment and the deer with the thin mounting tape I like so well.  The hills and trees are taped and glued directly to the plaid and then the cardbase.

I’m linking to some Christmas Challenge blogs…

Holler if I forgot some info!  I’m sure I often do!  I have some more photos to work on and I need to pick a winner of the Halloween dies!  I didn’t forget, I have it ready to choose, I just need to put the phone holder on the table and tape myself choosing the winner! hehe

I will try to be back tomorrow with another card and the winner!

Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate it!

Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Blog Party!

Hi everyone!  I have some cards to post using the NEW for STAMPtember sentiment set called ‘Extra Talkative’.  So many sentiments in the set I ended up with five cards!  This is a big set with dies to match but I didn’t get the dies to use.  You’ll see how beautifully they ink up and stamp!

Here’s my first card…

I made three Mini Slimline cards and two A2 size cards…

What great words of encouragement!  Everyone can use that now and then!  I’m sending this one to myself! lol

Besides the Extra Talkative set I used two new sets from Memory Box.  Leafy Branch Oval and Fanciful Fall Leaves.

 

Next up…

How cute is this ‘Hi.’! So cute!  I cut some strips with a Waffleflower die, stamped four sentiments from the set on each strip with matching ink. ATG to the card…thin mounting tape to mount the HI circle.

Next…

Another CAS card.  Here I used a Gina K Designs die set, Botanical Duo.  I cut it in white and inked it with regular Distress Inks and ink blending brushes.  Scrap paper to protect each part from the other color.

I stamped the sentiment in the MISTI…taped on another one of those strips, I cut too many, tied on the thin Mayarts twine and it was done!

Now for the two A2 size cards…

Brayering Kaleidacolor ink pad colors onto Hammermill Color Copy 100# cardstock.  I love how this cardstock keeps the color vibrant!

The Botanical Duo die in Glossy Black cardstock and two sentiments from the set again.

Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die for the brayered white panel.

Next…

More encouragement from this card! These sentiments stamped so beautifully.  I used Ranger Archival Black ink.  It’s my favorite for stamping black sentiments.  I used the MISTI also.

I added a few black enamel dots on the berries… just enough to make it a little ‘extra’!

Just reading these cards is helping put the smile back on my face today!  Hope it’s an encouragement to you also!

Here’s a special code from SSS for an ‘extra’ to put a smile on your face today too! I’ll list the clickable links to the other products I used at the bottom of this post… Have fun shopping and if you click to another blog but want to shop through my links, just come back and click through one of my links again and it will track to me.  You know I appreciate it and wish I knew who to send thank yous too!

NEW poppystamps Harvest Oval Frame and Fanciful Fall Leaves Card…

Hi everyone! Are you thinking of Fall colors these days?  Is this you?  There’s something about every season that I love but Christmas is my fave.  I truly miss the Summer nights when it’s light until almost ten though!

I started with a die cut A2 size piece of Canson Bristol from their orange pad.  Using ink blending brushes and regular Distress Ink pads I started with Peeled Paint at the bottom, added a little Forest Moss, then moved to Spiced Marmalade and Rusty Hinge, then the top is Wild Honey!

Yes there is a pattern.  I took an old Memory Box stencil, Raymelle #88541, but any stencil would work,  laid it over my inked panel and with a wet paper towel I dabbed off the color through the stencil.  I LOVE it!  I kept it very subtle…didn’t take off much ink really.

I die cut the NEW Harvest Oval Frame four times from natural color cardstock and glued them together instead of using foam tape this time.  Glued them directly to the inked card panel

I die cut the leaves and acorns from the NEW Fanciful Fall Leaves die in the same Bristol cardstock and inked with the same ink pads that I did the card panel.

I forgot to say that I heat set the ink blended panel with my heat tool and heat embossed the sentiment with Ranger Super Fine Gold embossing powder before I glued on the oval.

The sentiment is from the Memory Box Harvest Love and Kindness clear stamp set.  I inked it with Black pigment ink because I get a sharper image using black then using clear ink, in the MISTI so I could do it over and over a few times so I get a good coating but I don’t squish it to death when I’m stamping it. I have a press tool that our grandson 3D printed for me… I really like having it.  I know there are several out there on the market.

I think that’s it! This would be an easy card to make multiples of.

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you’re enjoying the new releases from Memory Box, poppystamps and Birch Press Design!
