Memory Box and Poppystamps…

PamSparksSleighScene700

Happy Day!  I could hardly wait to get my hands on the new Poppystamps dies and stamps!  My order came Monday so I stopped everything yesterday and made two A-2 size cards! lol  Back to Christmas cards for a couple days!

PamSparksSleighSceneRight

There…you can see the embossing on the sleigh in this photo!  So cool!  I combined the new Poppystamps dies, Santa’s Magic Sleigh, Small Garden Sprig, Woodland Fawn with Memory Box ‘All is Calm’ stamp, Winter Cabin Landscape, Bare Sapling, Twiggy Tree and Silent Snowfall.

It might look like the sky is black but it really is Memory Box Sapphire card-stock…it’s navy!  I just can’t capture the colors right.  I need a new lens. I keep forgetting to shop for one! ugh.

Frosted Lace stickles for the snow and Distress Peeled Paint stickles on the scarf.  Red Glitter Domes on the sleigh.

Of course I had to have the snowman!  Salutations!  Yes, he’s waving at you! : )

Meet Poppystamps Bundled Snowman stationed in front of the Country Fence and Mountain Top Trees stamp and die set.  The sentiment, snow place like home, is from Memory Box.

I left this card very CAS…could easy add snow though.  When you see it IRL, it just doesn’t need the sparkle to shine, in my opinion! lol

Love the purple pearls…they just give it that little bit of bling that makes the card sweet.

Next up… a Christmas card. Carrying over the purple!

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…

PamSparksBridge700

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
