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!

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!

NEW Memory Box Cards…

Hello!  I’m enjoying the sunshine today!  It really warms up the house…thankful for that in this below zero weather we’ve been having!

Meanwhile flowers are growing in my stamp room!

Two cards to share with you today…NEW dies and NEW papers!

I inked up the NEW Blooming Anemone and NEW Elegant Anemone dies with Distress Ink and the mini blending tools.  I die cut the florals from Bristol cardstock and used Peacock Feathers and Pine Needles Distress Inks.

Two NEW 6×6 paper pads from Memory Box, Anemone Plaid and Anemone Grove.

I made this card base a mini slimline size. I do love this size…just something charming about it with the florals, inking and plaid.  Wish I could show it to you in person!

The florals are so easy to put together.  I love that.  I just follow the pattern on the envelope by laying the pieces on top of the picture!

Oh, the greens I used for the stems and leaves…Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Ink.

I used a poppystamps sentiment from the Modest Greetings 1 hot foil and cut die set.  Spellbinders gold hot foil.

Taylored Expressions Cardstock… I’ll link below.

The ribbon rolls in my photos are HERE

Linking this card to some challenges…

Triple B January 2024 Challenge – Blooms

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Let’s Have Some Fun!

NBUS Challenge #58 – Never Before Used Stuff!

Next card…

A NEW hot foild plate, Rectangle Dot Border.  I love how it looks like a faux spotlight!

I used the NEW Happy Birthday Debut Script die cut from the NEW Anemone Grove 6×6 paper pad, tone on tone piece that I used for the background panel.  For the Happy Birthday Debut Script backer, I used plaid from the NEW Anemone Plaid 6×6 paper pad.

I die cut a rectangle of vellum to fit inside the hot foil frame using the Rectangle Basics die set.

Everything is layered on an A2 White cardbase.

Three Doodlebug Design enamel dots for a little something!

I mounted the sentiment with the thin mounting tape I love, to the vellum panel first so I’d know where I could put glue on the back of the vellum to adhere it to the purple pattern paper.

Linking my Happy Birthday card to a new challenge!  Check it out!

Word Power #1 – a challenge using sentiments as the focus

That’s pretty much it!  Holler if you have any questions! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Links to what I used to make these two cards… I added some sentiment stamp sets to the end because I’m always looking for sentiments for the inside so I figure you might be too!

Spellbinders NEW Stencil Club!

Hi everyone! Here we are after Christmas and moving right on to the New Year faster that the speed of light!

Have you heard about the NEW Spellbinder stencil of the month club?  I’m sure you have cuz I’m late getting my card posted for December and it’s already closed!  Usually you can order them a month later though.

This set has four stencils.  I used Distress inks and the mini circle Tim Holtz blending tools.

I used Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover and Pine Needles for the greenery.  For the heart flowers I put down Kitsch Flamingo first, then some Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral! lol  You sure wouldn’t need to use all the pinks/reds! lol

I hated to cover up all the stenciling so I went with a fun hot foiled sentiment from the Spellbinder All Occasion Mailbox Greetings Hot Foil set.

I really like how clean and simple it turned out plus it was fast to make!

It’s an A2 size card and completely mailable! I noticed the post office was running cards through the machines even if they had ‘hand cancel’ and extra postage on them.  That is really frustrating.  I even received cards that were completely rigid that had been machined. So cardmakers just put a stamp on it and call it good!  I even received a pkg that was a stamp set and a die, weighed 1.8 ounces and only had one forever stamp on it and it still came intact and no extra postage envelope wanting me to pay extra!  All this technology isn’t speeding things up or accurate!  HOHOHO!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I went MIA because I needed to get some house stuff done and be ready with gifts and 27 ppl on Christmas Eve day!  WOW!  Did we have fun!  Still smiling about it.  I thank God for our family every day!  I hope you had a blessed Christmas too. Talk to you again soon!

poppystamps Wide Pine Needle Shoots Die Card…

Hi everyone!  Are you thinking about turkey and trees?! lol  I decided to make up this tree this morning.  It’s so cute and could be made up in every color in lots of ways! So here’s one version!

I used the NEW Memory Box Shining Star stamp set for the star at the top of the tree and the sentiment ‘trunk’ and the sentiments inside. Stamped with Potting Soil Archival Ink pad in the MISTI.

I dug around in my ‘star’ category of MB dies and found the Starry Collage die had the size star to die cut the one in this stamp set.

An A2 size card…I foiled a kraft panel with the Memory Box Dot Burst Hot Foil Plate and trimmed it to 3 ⅞ in. x 5 ⅛ in., edged it with a little Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blender.

Layered it on a white piece leaving a small margin, then on to the cardbase.

I used Taylored Expressions cardstock.  I’ll link below.

I think that’s everything…holler if you have any questions.  Have a creative rest of the week with paper and food! hehe

Below is what I used to make this card and some sales you might be interested in!  Thank you so much for supporting my card making and blogging.  I truly appreciate it!
