Memory Box Toolbox 3D Embossing Folder Birthday Card…

June 1, 2023June 1, 2023 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing a card I made with the NEW Memory Box 3D Toolbox 3D Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies.

It’s so neat that you can die cut, then put the cuts into the folder to get all this detail!

I was inspired by Memory Box Dave’s card HERE. It’s such a great design I pretty much copied it!

So fun! Our grandson Rogan’s 9th birthday is today and he’s a great help with work around the house. Of course boys love tools and knives!

I used the Memory Box Wooden Alpha Dies for his name.

Happy Birthday sentiment is white heat embossed on red with the Memory Box Best Life Typewriter Sentiments. It’s from 2019 and doesn’t look like it’s available anymore. This would work also…Banner Greetings.

I used some Silver Foil and Glossy Black cardstocks for tool parts and Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool to age the Memory Box wood grain cardstock and kraft cardstock.

Everything is adhered with the thin mounting tape that I love, linked below, except for the little red happy birthday sentiment.

This card fits in a #10 business size envelope but it’s not as long as the usual slimline card. It’s 3 ¾ in. x 8 ¼ in.

Linking my card to some challenges…

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – anything goes

Can You Handle the Pressure? – Anything goes but must use an embossing folder

Cardz 4 Galz – #200 Slimline Birthday

Papercraft Crew – masculine

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Hope it gets you thinking about man cards we’ll be needing later this month for dad’s too! I have two more family birthdays this month and two gals at stamp club. No slacking on the card front here! lol

Two Grad Cards with Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Club…

May 24, 2023May 24, 2023 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! Some fun cards that came together fast. I was so glad the club kit has birthday and graduation sentiment banners!

A2 size cardbase with a panel on top… die cut all the parts…you even get the cloud dies in the set! It’s such a good deal for $15! You can purchase later but the price is $27!

One of our grandsons when he was a toddler loved lining up his airplanes like a lot of boys line up cars! So cute! Now he loves fishing, playing the piano and drums….and swimming and and and! lol Airplanes always make me remember this about him.

The dies in this kit make lines to follow where the pieces go! THAT is so great! Helpful! Speeds it up!

The words in the banners are such a neat look!

I used my favorite double sided mounting tape to adhere the die cuts to the card. The clouds are glued flat.

I had a lot of pictures for this first card… second card I only have two. So keep scrolling! lol

Basically the same thing only Slimline size…matte gold and matte silver scrap pieces for the airplane.

I love the clean and simple approach with the dark medium blue sky! So fun!

My daughters needed 7 grad cards so these 2 will go with 5 others I made for them. So fun! I love it when I get to use my supplies!

Thank you so much for stopping by and before you go I better tell you about the SALE Spellbinders has going on! Some wonderful products to choose from! So glad we can order online since Hobby Lobby quit carrying them.

Have a good rest of the week!

Birch Press Design Piped Icing Star Merry Christmas Slimline Card…

September 14, 2022September 14, 2022 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! Getting festive here on the blog today! I love this folky Christmas ‘look’! I’ve never been a cookie decorator but now I can with paper! lol

Die cut the star in TE Toffee Cardstock and ink with Vintage Photo. Die cut the icing in white and copic color the star center border.

Same idea with the new BPD Handwritten Merry Christmas and Outline.

I added holly leaves and berries from the new BPD Herbarium Plate Layer A. TE Cherry Pop and Sweet Basil cardstocks inked with Vintage Photo ink also.

hmmm…now I’m looking at it and wondering if it needed some fairy glitter glue highlights?! lol

I used the thin mounting tape that I love so well to mount everything to the Cherry Pop panel.

Stitched Ornament Merry and Bright Slimline Card…

August 3, 2022August 4, 2022 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s been some time since I used wool felt so I found my box and set to work die cutting and stitching up this new die from Spellbinders Stitched Christmas release.

I meant to make it as an ornament to hang on the tree but once again I forgot the plan and glued it to a card! lol

The pretty branches are part of the die set.

I used Knit Crosheen thread to for my stitching. Taylored Expressions Tiffany and Avocado wool felt.

I used Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue to adhere the top and bottom avocado felt pieces.

My slimline card size is 3 ⅜ in x 8 ⅜ in.

I used Spellbinders new Mix and Match Holiday Greetings die set for the sentiment. I love this font! There’s 18 word dies in the set!

Here’s a close up of just the ornament…so pretty!

I wish I could show you this one in person! It’s definitely a card to give to someone that will keep it and get it out for display each Christmas season.

The tiny pearls are from starlitstudio.

Baseball Birthday Boy Card…

June 21, 2022 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! Always birthdays happening around here! Rogan turned 8 June 1st and I’m just now getting this posted. I don’t think I’ve gotten all the other birthdays posted either so this is probably good that I’m getting this one done!

I really liked this card! Usually I like to do something interactive but there’s not enough sports stamps in my stash so the interactive part came on the inside. I really like the sets I used though and am getting a lot of use out of them!

I had some baseball washi tape that kinda covered up the fact that this die has scallop edges.

I used An Altenew Alphabet set on the front and the stamps and dies from Sunny Studio and Waffleflower. Here’s another card I used the Batter set for.

Rogan likes to keep busy playing sports or helping his dad.

I loved using the alphabet for his name and embellishing it… now I want to do it everytime but I probably better not. lol

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope your day is a HOME RUN! haha

Birch Press Design Dainty Rose and Leaves Slimline Card…

March 17, 2022March 17, 2022 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends…I’m so glad I can grow flowers with paper! I had fun die cutting and layering these together. There are marks on the cuts so you know where to put the layers! WOW! That helps so much! I use Tombow Mono Multi glue. My tip for using it is to keep the container laying down at all times. Do you have any tips to share for gluing? I’d love to hear them!

I cut a cardbase, 7 x 8 ½ inches and scored the 7 in side at 3 ½ inches for this Slimline Card.

I die cut a white cardstock panel with the Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Slim die set.

Hello is diecut in the NEW Memory Box Black Glossy cardstock with the Birch Press Design Hello Topper die. I didn’t use the backer that comes with it but I need to, it’s cool!

The NEW Birch Press Design Dainty Rose and Leaves Contour Layers I die cut with four of the Memory Box cardstock 6×6 pads. I was brave with color today! lol

I also used the NEW Birch Press Design Tiny Tuft Flowers and Leaves Contour Layers die set. Die cut in the same cardstock colors.

I used mounting tape behind the roses and everything else is glued directly to the panel.

My pictures feel huge but I sized them 200 pix smaller than I usually do. eek! lol I hope they show up on your screen ok! The first four are the same size as the card when I hold the card up to my computer screen.

Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoying this touch of Spring! It’s supposed to get up to 70˚ here today! YAY! ttul!
