NEW Memory Box Tropical Leaves 3D Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies Card and a storage tip…
It’s a beautiful day here in south central Iowa! I should’ve been out riding my bike this morning! lol Do any of you have an e bike? Do you like it? I’m sure tempted to go look and try one of them.
A clean and simple look to my card today. I used a champagne colored foil to hot foil the sentiment but it looks black. Figures.
I didn’t think to try to catch the light when I was taking pictures but it really is foil! poppystamps You Are Amazing Poe Script Greetings Foil and Cut Die Set.
I used Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangles…it’s my go to for cutting panels it seems. I like it!
I embossed the new 3D folder and die cut the leaves with the included dies, glued them to the white A2 panel except for the top middle leaf, I used the thin mounting tape that I’ll link to below.
I made some pretty little flowers with poppystamps Petite Blooms Flower Set from the most recent release. The smallest die cut, cut two times for each flower and layered together and glued in the center directly to the panel.
I used the Birch Press Design Simple Dragonfly Contour Layers die from the most recent release and made some pretty tropical dragonflies to land on the card!
Straight forward die cutting and gluing…no inking even! BOOM! lol Two non inked cards in a row!
Tip: The next two pictures are how I decided to store the 3D folders and dies using the packaging that they come in! I think it’s really slick!
I take the heavyweight clear piece off of the sturdy cardboard backer they come with and cut the top off of the plastic with a scissors so it becomes a slot when you put it back over the cardboard backer and you can slip the folder and the dies in and out of! No additional plastic sleeve needed for storage! Perfect!
Thank you for stopping by…holler if you have any questions!

poppystamps Grand Whittle Ice Cream Card…
Hi everyone! It’s that time of year when we’re all trying to keep cool! This card makes me smile because Breyers Natural Neapolitan Ice Cream is a favorite around here!
I made this card before I made the flower cards the other day and without even realizing I used strips again! lol I love how it turned out!
So cute and screams SUMMER!
I’ll link up what I used below…straight forward for the most part. I made the narrow frame by taping two of the Memory Box Basic Rectangle dies together. (I leave them taped together just in case I need to make another before I need them apart!)
I stamped the sentiments then used the sentiment die that comes in the NEW poppystamps Modest Greetings set.
This last shot is a little too pink… I didn’t try to change it but it’s Taylored Expressions Strawberry Milkshake cardstock, I’ll ink below.
Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate it! I can’t believe it’s almost the 4th of July! I haven’t made a 4th card yet this year but I love making patriotic cards. I made a card to share next with Memory Box NEW Release. Then I have a bunch of birthday cards to share so I hope you don’t get tired of me blasting you with blog posts! 😀

Birch Press Design Tropical Hibiscus and Star Flowers Cards…
Hi cardmakers and friends! Working with new products from Birch Press Designs for my two cards today. I made a card using them the day before I made these but I didn’t like it so I brought out the strip CAS card design again! I’ve used it before HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE.
Two for one when you cut two colors of cardstock. The flowers are cut from Memory Box 6×6 cardstock pads, Lush Green and Fresh Aqua.
I used poppystamps NEW Modest Greetings 2 Foil and Cut Die Set and Silver Foil.
The sentiment on this card is from the Birch Press Design Kind Hearts stamp set.
The NEW BPD Tropical Hibiscus Contour Layers die set is so pretty with the layered look for the flower and the leaves. When you die cut it scores the area where you add the layer so you know exactly where to glue the pieces. Super easy!
The NEW BPD Star Flowers Contour Layers die set and the BPD Fuddled Leaf Branches Contour Layers die set (smaller branch) on this card… same as the Hibiscus. You can see the marks where to place the layers… love that! No guessing or wondering if you got it in the right place.
Both cards are A2 size. The Hibiscus card I used a little bit of thin foam mounting tape, the one I’m linking below.
Thank you for stopping by today! Make some strip cards!

poppystamps Perfect Posies Bouquet Card…
Hi everyone! Another floral card to share today. I need to glue pink paper flowers to my three hydrangea bushes! No flowers on them yet!
I die cut the poppystamps NEW Perfect Posies Bouquet die two times in white. I inked up one in green distress oxide colors using an ink blending brush and the other I trimmed off some of the flowers to ink up in pink distress oxide colors.
There are a few blooms on this Posies die that match up with the blooms in the NEW poppystamps Petite Blooms Flower Set, so I used the two smaller sizes of those for pink blooms.
I cut an A2 size panel of white cardstock, die cut it with the Memory Box Pinpoint Leaf Plate, then embossed it with the Memory Box Blooming Sweet Pea 3D Embossing Folder. The dots make it look like a bee has been buzzing around! lol
I used a white Posca pen to color the little green blooms white on the green Perfect Posies Bouquet die cut.
Memory Box has come out with a lot of Foil and Cut die sets this time. This is a new to me technique but I’m getting the hang of it. I really like how pretty and elegant they make a card sentiment.
For this card I used the NEW poppystamps Modest Greetings 1 Foil and Cut die set. Gold foil on white cardstock. I love having a die to just cut one sentiment. I’m not one to make a bunch of stuff ahead. I just make as I go along to go with what I’m making. It’d be fun to do a survey and find out how many make a bunch of elements and then sit down and make cards. I wish I could. It overwhelms me to have too much to choose from. Interesting… I bet there’d be a lot of creative ways to go about making cards!
There’s a NEW Memory Box Intricate Mini Butterflies die so I had to add one to my card. I die cut it in white and inked it with Squeezed Lemon Distress Oxide ink.
I added some Fairy Drops and it was done. YAY! It’s kinda vintagey looking in a modern way!
I can’t believe it’s Friday already! Hope you’re getting some Summer things done…eek! It’s time I did! lol
ttul,
