Memory Box NEW Lavender Bouquet and Posh Thank You Hot Foil…

May 20, 2022May 20, 2022 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! Have you had time to look at the NEW Memory Box release and see the NEW Hot Foil Plate and Cutting Die sets? Today I used the NEW Posh Thank You set and I love it on the Memory Box Black Glossy cardstock!

I started with a mini slimline panel. Then I was thinking backgrounds…I love Memory Box Collage dies and I grabbed the Jumbled Line Collage and found all the positive pieces from cutting a few times in the envelope! YAY! Make my own tile/brick looking wall to show off the lavender!

I ran a couple stripes of ATG adhesive down the panel and just started placing the strips…they’re very random lengths. I didn’t go by anything, just picked up and stuck them on.

I die cut the lavender in lilac and green cardstocks, trimmed off the stems from the lilac ones and glued the top to the green.

I glued the stems directly over the strips, then glued the thank you directly over the stems. No mounting tape was used on this one!

The panel is glued directly on the mini slimline cardbase too!

Easy to make, easy to mail! yay!

Thank you for stopping by! Curious what your favorite new dies are from this release?!

Memory Box Bouquet Blooms and Leaves and Butterfly Coterie Collage Card…

May 18, 2022 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi and hugs to everyone today! Memory Box has lots of NEW flower dies and word dies too! I love how this hugs snugged up into the card design!

I started with an A2 cardbase in extra heavyweight kraft cardstock. Next I die cut the NEW Butterfly Coterie Collage die in a white panel I cut a half inch smaller than A2 width and height.

Then I die cut the Bouquet Blooms and Leaves NEW dies in Canson XL watercolor paper and colored them with Distress reinkers. I sprayed water on the cuts and then brushed on some of the refill and let it spread, added more until I was happy-ish. I kinda like the brightness of the colors against the white and kraft!

I used Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac reinkers.

I die cut the NEW Hugs Daily Script dies in white cardstock and the New Memory Box Black Glossy Heavyweight cardstock. I really like this glossy black. I think I say that every post these days! lol

I tied on the jute before I adhered it with thin mounting tape to the kraft cardbase.

There is a stencil that you can buy separately that coordinates with this Butterfly Coterie Collage. I’m thinking…what to make with them together!

Memory Box NEW RELEASE!!!

May 11, 2022 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! Have you tried Hot Foil plates yet? I didn’t think I would but Memory Box has come out with a bunch! So here I am, jumping in with both feet! It’s really easy and look how beautiful the NEW Posh Happy Birthday Hot Foil Plate and Cutting Die set is in gold on Memory Box Glossy Black heavyweight cardstock! WOW!

So I created a card with three other NEW dies, Sweet Poppy Stem, Ruffled Poppy Stem, Graceful Poppy Stems and Memory Box 6×6 cardstock paper pads.

This card came together easily! The flower parts fit together so well… I just followed the picture on the front of the envelope/packaging. I did mount them with really thin foam mounting tape.

The shine is so pretty in real life and not quite this gold in color. I should’ve been thinking while snapping pictures to make sure I captured that but alas, I didn’t! ugh.

I used the Memory Box Stylish Rectangle Trio, the largest size die, to frame these beauties!

Have fun checking out the new release and if you ever have any questions about size or want a picture of a die, just holler at me!

Thank you so much for stopping by! More to come!

poppystamps and Memory Box Flower Field Card…

April 28, 2022 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Thinking ahead a little for some Mother’s Day inspiration. I had fun ink blending a piece of bristol card and die cutting it with poppystamps Flower Field and Potpourri Flower dies!

I ink blended with Saltwater Taffy, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink pads and TE Ink Blending Brushes.

The light really catches the gems and sparkles so beautifully!

I used the NEW poppystamps Flower Field Frame die to emboss a design on a white cardstock panel.

I die cut the NEW poppystamps Flower Field Tall Curve Border die from the ink blended card two times and three of the flowers from the NEW Potpourri Flower Set from the leftover scraps of the ink blended card.

I die cut MOM from the Memory Box Wooden Alpha die set.

I trimmed the white panel down and layered it with thin mounting tape to a white A2 cardbase.

I adhered all the die cuts with Tombow mono multi glue and added a white heat embossed sentiment from poppystamps Contempo Greetings stamp set with mounting tape.

Memory Box Fairy Jewels in Pastel added for the flower centers. I love how it turned out!

Thank you for stopping by! May is coming for us in the midwest and there won’t be a shortage of flowers!

Birch Press Design Flower Cards…

April 26, 2022April 25, 2022 Pam Sparks7 Comments

A couple cards to share with you this week…unusual colors for me! Not sure but posting them anyway! lol

Light pink and bright green! Do they work?

I really like this plaid paper from the Memory Box Madras Plaid Blue and Violet 6×6 paper pad.

The flowers on this card are from the NEW Birch Press Design Eucalyptus Stem and Berries Contour Layers die set and the Tiny Tuft Flowers and LEaves Contour Layers die set.

Sentiment is Memory Box Just a Note Posh Script die cut in the NEW Memory Box Glossy Black cardstock and white cardstock.

Here I used Taylored Expressions Cupcake Pink cardstock and Bazzill Card Shoppe Easter Grass cardstock.

The flower and leaf in the corner are the NEW Birch Press Design Pimpernel Contour Layers die set.

I decided to use the NEW Memory Box Exquisite Leaf Frame die with it because the leaves are similar and I love this die anyway! It’s so pretty!

The sentiment is from poppystamps Colorful Life stamp set and stamped with Taylored Expressions Cupcake Pink ink in the MISTI. It’s very subtle but I kinda like that for a change.

The berries are a bit bluer in real life…pretty sure it’s Taylored Expressions Cookie Monster cardstock and the flowers are Taylored Expressions Candy Corn cardstock.

Just a Note is a Mini Slimline card and the Wishing You strength card is an A2 size card. Both will mail for one forever postage stamp in the USA.

Thank you for coming to visit today! More new stuff coming and I have some cute to share soon too!

Have a good cardmaking week or organizing week… I’ve been doing that too! I went on a shopping spree! oops! If you ever get the chance to go to Cedar Rapids, IA, be sure to go to Scrapmania and tell Stacy, the owner I sent you! I promise you, you will NOT be sorry you took the time to go there!
