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!

I used acetate in the window to imitate glass. I applied glue gloss (link below) to the tree while the cut was still in the die, removed the cut and then embossed the glue areas with Judikins white diamond embossing powder.

Memory Box Marvelous Bridge step card…

June 30, 2013 Pam Sparks13 Comments

I had fun creating this step card for one of my classes in Ottumwa, Iowa! It’s a city with a lot of bridges and hot air balloon festivities too! I do have a few class kits left for purchase if any of you are interested. They come with complete instructions, die cuts for three cards and I can stamp the sentiments for you if you’d like too. I would mail priority with delivery confirmation. Email tab is under my blog header.

The Marvelous Bridge die is so cool! I teamed it up with the new Dancing Butterflies die, Balloon die, Puffy Clouds and the Grand Old Oak tree. Then from Poppystamps dies, I used the Picket Fence and Grassland dies.

Memory Box Dill, Granny Smith, Water, Licorice, Vanilla Bean, Dove Gray, Kraft, Raspberry and White card-stock. Currant Distressed Dots paper.

So glad you stopped by! Happy Memory Box creating!

p.s. tomorrow the Memory Box design team starts showing the new Fall and Christmas release over on the Outside the Box, Memory Box blog, HERE

Memory Box Lamp post Frame card…

June 9, 2013June 10, 2013 Pam Sparks13 Comments

A happy Spring scene using all Memory Box and Poppystamps dies and card-stock. Makes a gal want to go live here! Imagine…gingham grass and polka dot butterflies!

I used parts of a couple dies… the leaves in the tree are from the Lavish Branch die and the grass is just the scallop part of the Spring Border die with the flowers cut off.

I die cut the Lamp post frame out of Vanilla Bean card-stock and the Debutante background is die cut out of Water card-stock.

The Lavish Branch is die cut from the Lime Green Gingham and the Cranberry Dots Card-stock. I cut the red flowers off and glued them on top of the Lime Green flowers with Tombow Mono Multi glue.

The little butterflies are from the new Dancing Butterflies die.

I used a woodgrain stamp to make the wood grain on the tree trunk…

Thanks for stopping by today! I appreciate it! I’ll be back tomorrow with another Memory Box card.
