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.

It was fun to work up a Christmas card with a masculine feel…

I’m sharing this card on the Memory Box blog today…be sure to click over for a chance to win the NEW Swirling Snowflakes die! Isn’t it gorgeous?!

Love the NEW sentiment stamp… snow place like home, the NEW Silent Snowfall, the NEW Manor House die, the NEW Pine Trio Outine and the NEW Pine Trio Background too!

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!

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!

The Blog Blitz for Memory Box continues this week! Aren’t you loving the show and tell! I look forward to checking the blog every morning and evening.

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

So elegant, so lovely… the NEW Gwyneth Flourish die. Cuts and embosses like a dream…beautiful swirls…so classy! So much to love with this release!

I also used the Pine from the NEW Pinecone Corner die, the 25 ornament from the NEW Advent Calendar Set and the NEW Merry Christmas Flourish stamp, all from this new release!

Combined with the beautiful Poppystamps Poinsettia die, the Virtuoso Music die and the Cherise Label die. (isn’t it cool how the ornament dangles from the label?!) I used Memory Box Thistle, Juniper, Graphite and Raspberry card-stock and Thistle Moroccan card-stock.

Thanks for stopping by … it’s Christmas in July! So fun to share these wonderful new dies and stamps from Memory Box with you! LOTS more to come!

Another nostalgic Christmas scene that brings back memories of growing up in the city. Oh I had fun creating this card! When I first saw the new release I spent hours pouring over what I could do with them all! When they got here, I had to adjust a little but in the end, I’m so happy with everything I’ve made so far! I hope they inspire you and add creative energy to your day! : )

I used a lot of dies and a new stamps too… I’ll link to them all below. White card-stock for the card base, Memory Box Licorice, Granny Smith, Lagoon, Raspberry card-stocks, silver card-stock and Doodlebug Glitter paper for the snow and stars.

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Inside, I had to add the new Gift Bag die and the top hat from the Holiday Hats dies. OH and that Washi Tape Stripes and have yourself a Merry little Christmas are both NEW stamps from Memory Box too! Awesome!
