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!

Here’s what I used for these projects…holler if you have any questions!

Memory Box Gracious Floral 3D Embossing Folder Version…

Hi everyone!  Someone somewhere is celebrating a birthday and here’s some soft color wishes for you! A pretty card makes a birthday seem better somehow, doesn’t it?  Birthdays just keep coming at ya! ha!

I started out looking at my Memory Box plaid paper pads for a color scheme.  I used the Madras Plaid Blue and Violet PP104 6×6 pad without looking to see if it was still in the stores I link to.  OOPS!  Evidently it’s been discontinued. ugh.

I’m linking to the other three plaid pads in the stores that will make fun color cards too!

It’s hard to see the gold in my pictures so I took a phone picture in front of the upstairs hall door so you can see the gold.  Wish I could show you in person! I know, I know, I’m always saying that! lol

The cardbase for this card is 4 ¾ in. x 6 in. so it’ll need an A7 envelope.

I die cut the poppystamps Lattice plate in white three times and glued them together.  I just really like how it added just enough depth without needing to cut little strips of mounting tape.  I used Tombow Mono Multi sparingly to glue them together and to glue the lattice to the plaid panel.

Then I cut a piece of plaid with gold lines to layer on top of the lattice panel,  It’s 2 ½ in. x 6 in.

I used the die from the stamp set to cut a piece of white cardstock for the floral bouquet shape.  Then I put the die cut shape in the 3D embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot following the directions for 3D folders.  (I do add a few cardstock shims for mine)

After I had the big bouquet embossed I die cut just the center flower from the 3D embossing folder set,  ran it through the same embossing folder, then started coloring both embossed pieces with the Stencil set, regular Distress Ink Pads and ink blending brushes.

I’m having fun making cards with these products!  I haven’t inked the stamp and embossed it in the 3D folder yet but I think that would be beautiful too!

If you want some new products to create with on these hot Summer days when it’s better to stay inside in the AC…this release is just the thing you need!

When you tap or click on my links to see these products you’re going to get a surprise!  Cindy@Starlitstudio has been VERY busy and her new store is up and running with new products being added again!  Yay!  So excited!  It’s beautiful!  Be sure to click on the STR abbreviation to check it out!

Thank you so much for stopping by and happy cardmaking to you!

Memory Box Gracious Floral Just For You Card…

Hi everyone! NEW from Memory Box!  A beautiful stamp set with coordinating dies AND stencils for coloring in!

Next card I’m going to try the stencils with the 3D embossing folder that is the same floral image. You can also stamp the image, die cut it and then emboss it in the 3D folder!

I used inking brushes and distress oxide inks to color. Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral for the pink flower.

The purple brush without inking for the purple flowers, then Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet.

The small flowers I used my Peacock Feathers brush without reinking it for the light color, then Peacock Feathers inking up the brush.

For the leaves I used my green brush without inking and then used Peeled Paint ink.

I die cut it after I colored it.

I stamped Just for you in the MISTI and die cut it with the included coordinating die.  Three layers glued together.

I used poppystamps Pinpoint Leaf Plate die for the background pink background panel, adhered to a white cardbase.

Simple card, fun to make and I love the sentiments in this set!

Can you believe it’s the end of June and almost time for another holiday! Boom! Boom!

Thank you for stopping by!

Here’s what I used to make this card  AND some REALLY EXCITING NEWS!  Starlitstudio is getting a new website/shop and it will be up the first week of July! It will be the same website address/URL, just a new shop.  It’s gonna be awesome!
