Memory Box Christmas 2023 Release – Glorious Poinsettia Card

Hi everyone! I’m getting a poinsettia card posted before you can buy them in the stores!  I always look forward to them showing up for sale!  The seas of poinsettias when you walk in the door!

I went with pink for this BRAND NEW Glorious Poinsettia!  I used Distress Oxide Inks, Worn Lipstick, Lumberjack Plaid, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss.  I absolutely love coloring white cardstock with inks and blending tools or brushes.  I die cut and used Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock this time.

I used Worn Lipstick on the tips of the leaves and Lumberjack Plaid from the centers out.

Oh, I used Fossilized Amber for the centers.  I got a little green on the center that’s connected to the stem but I liked it that way!

I used the New Merry Christmas Charmed Script Sentiment die.  I used it this way but you’ll notice on Dave’s card HERE page 43 in the Memory Box idea book that you can use it another way also!  I love having more than one option!

I used the Rectangle Double Border Hot Foil Plate and A2 Rectangle Frames Die set to make the panel the poinsettia is mounted on.

I used my fave thin mounting tape, linked below to stick the panel to the cardbase.

Linking to some challenges…

The Flower Challenge #84 – Use a Die and flower/s

Triple B Challenge – Birds, Butterflies and Blooms

The Sisterhood of Crafters – Die Cuts

Addicted To Stamps and More #454 – Any Occasion

And so the festive cards begin!  I’m excited and I hope you are too!

Talk to you again soon!

poppystamps Whittle Napping Cat Hello Fall Card…

Hello with a cat going postal today!  I love the Memory Box double sided plaid papers so I started there with this card die cutting the poppystamps Large Stitched Envelope and Postage.  Kinda unusual colors for Fall  but I tried! lol

This piece of plaid is from the Jolly Christmas 6×6 pad.

I die cut the Leafy Vine Corner die by poppystamps from kraft and light green cardstock.  I just clipped the kraft apart with a scissors at the corner for the stems coming out of the envelope and cut the leaves off the light green die cut and glued them to the kraft cardstock stems.

The Whittle Napping Cat is die cut in kraft and inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and the mini ink blending tool. I glued a little square of black cardstock behind the nose.

It’s a top folding A2 size cardbase using TE cardstock.  A rectangle panel glued on, kraft color cord tied around and knotted.

I mounted the envelope with the thin foam mounting tape I love so well.  I use the scissors linked below to cut it.  It’s sticky but so great for adhering and mailing!

I die cut the two postage stamps from the TE cardstock also.  Scribble a little black on them…

That’s pretty much it!  I can see this envelope used in so many ways!  I almost started over but thought, I’ll use it again later for another occasion!

Oh… I used the outline part of the Hello Moonlight Script die set for the sentiment.  Die cut in gold foil cardstock.  Love that stuff!

Thanks for coming over to see what I’ve been up to!  Well, I didn’t post that I rearranged my kitchen counter this morning! lol  Do you do this too when you get a new appliance?  My thoughts are what can I get rid of! haha  Big old house but small kitchen, which I’m glad it’s small until all the family is home for Christmas! lol  We manage!

talk to you again soon!  Lots of NEW coming!  Suspense!  It’s good!!!!

Simon Says Stamp and Memory Box for STAMPtember!

It’s reveal time for the Simon Says Stamp and Memory Box Exclusive Collaboration in honor of STAMPtember!

Here’s my card…


Memory Box signature Magnolia images for this exclusive stamp and die set today!

I went with an easy to color method for this stamp set…then an easy to make cardbase too!

Memory Box 6×6 Magnolia Grove and Magnolia Plaid paper pads.  It’s hard to see the design in the base panel but it’s there and so pretty in real life!

I used a narrow strip of Gold Foil cardstock to accent the foiling in the paper.

It’s a mini slimline size, 3 x 6 inches this time.  It’s such a fun size… it feels feminine in my hand. lol

I stamped, cut the images out and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Seven sentiments in this set!  I love the font too!

I’m thinking you’ll recognize the Magnolia flowers from the Memory Box Magnolia Dies, Embossing Folders and paper pads release earlier this Summer.  This set is going to coordinate beautifully with them.

This stamp set is a one time offer just for STAMPtember!  So head to SSS and grab it before they sell out!

Shopping links below…Free shipping with the code FRSHP and a $25 order!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog for this special exclusive collaboration!

poppystamps Neighborhood Home Card…

Hi everyone! Cute card warning! This NEW poppystamps Neighborhood Home Pop Up Easel Set can be used for so many occasions.  I was thinking Congrats on your new house but ended up using the NEW poppystamps Whittle Scary Guys!  I’m glad they aren’t really scary.  (I’m not a big Halloween person)

I didn’t use the Easel part of the die set this time.  I used the house layer die to die cut a top folding card. I made a 4 ½ in. x 5 ½ in. cardbase and just kept the fold below the top cut line when I ran it through the Big Shot.

I colored the ‘guys’ with Copic Sketch Markers and covered them with glossy accents.  I put the pumpkin behind a window and the ghosts flying out of windows.  I love the curtains so I had to add them. lol

I stamped Happy Halloween on the inside from the Halloween Pumpkin stamp and die set.

I die cut the Boo Poe Script twice from white cardstock and once from Black Glossy cardstock.  Glued them together a little off so you can see the white behind the black.

Straight forward….cutting and gluing and an A2 size card!

I can’t wait to see what everyone else does with this die set.  I think it needs decorated for Christmas!

I still have some card kits for sale…info at the bottom of the post HERE.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.  I hope you’re enjoying some pretty almost Fall days! I can’t believe it!

Memory Box NEW Fanciful Gilded Frame Two Ways…

Hi everyone!  Second card with the parts I glued up with the NEW Birch Press Design dies.  This time I used a NEW Memory Box die for the background.  Fanciful Gilded Frame.

The first thing I made with the frame though was this place card!  I looked at the die and thought, this could be folded in half and used for table decorations!

I made this in 15 minutes!  That’s a record make for me time wise!

Back to the top card…

I started the wreath by laying out the four large leaves I’d made from the Forest Leaf and Berries Contour Layers dies, top, bottom and both sides.

Then I added four of the Jolly Holly Contour Layers dies.

Then I went back to the Forest set and put in the four small dies, pretty much beside the holly.

Then I added the berries from the Jolly Holly dies.

I only had two of the small branches from the Oval Leaf Brances Contour Layer so I added them on the inside of the wreath top and bottom.

I cut up the Budding Twigs Contour Layers dies and inserted them here and there.

It looks complicated to me but laying it out like this, it went together fast! YAY!

It really turned out pretty if I do say so myself! lol  I never know! lol

I added some Memory Box Pastel Fairy Jewels in the light green color….matchy! lol

It’s an A2 size card and will go through the mail fine with one stamp! YAY!

Back to the pumpkin…

Do you do name cards?  We don’t because…big family!  I took pictures of this design without the banner too because I would more than likely use it more for a decorative piece here and there or maybe to put in front of a dish to tell what it is!

I love this pretty NEW Autumn Pumpkin from Memory Box.  The details are ‘built in’… die cut and it’s ready to go!  I did add a little Spiced Marmalade Distress ink with an ink blending brush but you wouldn’t have to!

I quick cut an extra pumpkin to back the pumpkin. View from the back….

I had this denim looking cardstock still out on the desk so I used it but you could use any Autumn color you like!

Here it is with the banner again.  I used the banner die from a poppystamps foil and cut die set, Modest Banner Greetings.

Both designs are festive and fun!  YAY for holidays!

One more thing….I made some kits for stamp club this month and I have three left.  Everything is die cut/included to make one card!   $15 includes the postage to you in the USA.  This is the card for the kit.   OH, I did use a white glaze pen on the icing, eyes and buttons and some blush on the ginger’s cheeks. That is not included in the kit.

Email or comment if you want one!

Thank you for visiting my blog today!  It’s so hot here this week, we had a couple really nice weeks, now it’s back to real Summer!  I hope to get a lot done in my stamp room where it’s nice and cool!
