Memory Box cards…

PamSparksWinterCollageFront

Here’s the new Delicate Snowflakes Stencil from Memory Box… I tried several different ways of using it but I’m just posting two!   This reminds me so much of what we’ve done for years with Brass Stencils!  I need to get those back out too!  For this card, I stamped a panel with Memory Box stamps, laid the stencil on the panel, applied stencil paste, then white embossing powder and heated it.

This card was a Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!  Thank you ladies!

I used the Precious Snowflakes die and several stamps…

Walking Winter Wonderland
Winter Collage
Washi Tape Dots

Here I used the Delicate Snowflakes stencil…laid it over a piece of watercolor paper and spritzed it with Frosty Night and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist.  My watercolor paper wasn’t the heaviest so it curled up some from the moisture causing the inks to go under the stencil a bit at here and there.

*tip* if you spritz the backside of your paper with water, it doesn’t curl up as much when you’re getting the front wet!

This card was a CAS Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!  Thank you ladies!

Frostyville Corner and Snowflake Corner cut from white glitter card-stock.  Looks like snow!

I had to make one die card to post too!  : )  It’s a CAS card that would be fun to make a pack of 6 or so for a gift… for a bunch of thank you cards…notecards…invitations too!  Easy to change it up, this is Version 2 for me! lol

I cut the S, from the Classic Upper Alphabet die set, in the center of a piece of Memory Box Pattern paper. Then I placed it on the NEW Venita Flourish die, centering the S and taping the card-stock in place to cut.  Exact placement!  Love it!

*tip* always cut the inside image first so you can position and center when you cut the surrounding shape.

Panel mat was cut with the Perfect Layers Tools…..

Here, I used the NEW Yorkshire Tree, Yorkshire Tree background and Library Alphabet Tags dies.  The letters ‘Y’ and ‘U’ are from the tag set also and the hearts are from the Cherish Border die. I colored the trunk of the tree with a copic marker.  I just love the pop of red in the green!

Here I used the NEW Piano Border and Perky Poppy dies.  The sentiment is Just a Note Combo. I added the detail on the leaves with a copic marker.

PamSparksPartyMusicHeart625

Here I used the NEW Party Music, Musical Motifs, Heart of Hearts, Sweet Heart, Queen of Hearts and Alphabet Soup dies. (I just used the heart cut from the center of the Queen of Hearts die)  I cut the Cupid Heart out of red card-stock and it is glued on the inside of the card behind the Heart of Hearts that is cut directly in the white notecard.

PamSparksHappyBirthdayButterflySide

Here I used the NEW Grand Happy Birthday, Norwich Corner and Lunette Butterfly dies.  I cut the corner die twice, left one complete and cut one up to use here and there.

Oh happy day!  Time for the NEW Memory Box ‘Creative Elegance’ 2014 Papercrafters Collection release!  So if we can’t do Christmas… let’s ‘think Spring’! lol  Memory Box Blog Blitz starts next week!

Lots of flowers in this collection…you’re going to love it!

I used the Delightful Peony Outline die and Delightful Peony Background die.  I need to make a video of what I did.  I’m afraid my ‘word’ explanation would just be to confusing!  It’s easy though and fun!

PamSparksHappyBirthdayPeonyClose

See the New MESH stencil behind the Peony?!  Love it!  I taped it down with Washi tape and used three Distress inks to color it in.  First Wild Honey, then Worn Lipstick randomly and then Peeled Paint around the edges.  Warning….too much Peeled Paint on the pink, well, it kinda makes khaki!   We like khaki…ok! lol

Don’t you love the new Eva Stem though… so delicate and feminine!
