Memory Box and poppystamps Slimline Cards…

March 5, 2021 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! A post today showing more new dies from Memory Box and poppystamps! Memory Box is known for it’s butterflies!

Two new ones… so pretty! These could be made up so many different ways and here I am doing monochrome! lol

Sylvan Butterfly is the larger die set and Glade Buttlerfly is the smaller die set.

I chose the new Memory Box Happy Easter Posh Script die for the sentiment at the bottom but there are a few other new sentiment dies that would be beautiful also… Thank you Posh Script, Just a Note Posh Script and Birthday Mail Posh Script.

I did some inlaying with the new poppystamps Slim Leafy Collage die. I cut in two colors and stuck the pieces back in. It’s pretty with them left out too. Just something therapeutic about using the pieces laying there. lol

For both my cards today I used the new Memory Box Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die set… this is a cool set. I especially love the smallest two for sentiments! Trim to length!

My next card is another slimline…

I used the new Memory Box Spring Plaid Slim paper pad! Almost too pretty to use! I’m proud to say I used two pieces! lol It took courage I’m telling ya’! lol

The gingham piece I die cut with the new Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Slim Rectangles. The plaid panel is cut with the Slim Basic Rectangle Layers… kinda nice you don’t have to measure!

I LOVE the new Memory Box Wooden Alpha!!! I used them for SPRING today but I’m thinking masculine next! So fun!

The light is changing again and always throws me off for taking pictures. If you want to get a better idea of what the green color is… I stamped ‘happy’ from the new Memory Box Big and Little Reverse Words stamp set with Altenew Frayed Leaf stamp pad! I tried several greens and this one was right on as far as matching this gingham paper.

The purple I used for the Wooden Alpha is from the new Memory Box Twilight Purple 6×6 cardstock pad.

What better to put on a SPRING card than flowers and this new Memory Box Gerber Stems die set is perfect for this card! Sweet blooms that will be beautiful colored too! Our middle daughter had beautiful Gerbera Daisies for her outdoor, wildflower setting wedding. Good memories!

Holler if I missed something. I’m not sure what the standard size, if there is one, is for a slimline card. These both ended up 8 ⅝ ths long and 3 ⅝ ths wide. I finally wrote down what size to cut the base so I don’t have to keep figuring it out every time! ❤

Have a creative Friday afternoon! Thank you for visiting my blog this week!

poppystamps Woven Basket Pop Up Easel Set and Spring Bunnies Card…

February 26, 2021 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone! It almost feels like Spring in Iowa today! 43˚! Next up… happy Easter!

I started out with the NEW poppystamps Woven Basket Pop Up Easel Set with every intention of making an easel card! lol I glued the back on wrong so all of a sudden I had an A2 basket shape card so I went with it! lol

I used all NEW Memory Box cardstock except for the white card base. I’ll link up the pads I used below. I love the colors!

I did add a little Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink with the mini ink blending tool, to the background piece. The basket is inked through the die with Distress ink Gathered Twigs. I used some other inks to edge the die cut pieces.

It’s so great to get so many fun dies in a set. I love the grass, foliage and berries in the set. I used two of the green cardstocks. The bow comes in the set too!

I used NEW poppystamps Spring Bunnies and Splendid Happy Easter dies also.

On the inside a sentiment from the NEW Memory Box stamp set All the Happiness.

I added white dots and colored the berries white with a white glaze pen. I love using them. I do two or three layers.

Holler if you have any questions! Thank you so much for visiting my blog today!

Memory Box NEW Stained Glass Butterfly, poppystamps NEW Double Diamond Lattice Plate and SSS Birthday Sale!

February 19, 2021February 19, 2021 Pam Sparks10 Comments

HEY! Happy Birthday! Just kidding but it’s nice to have Clean and Simple birthday cards in your stash ready to go! Dies help!

I used the NEW Memory Box Fresh Aqua 6×6 heavyweight cardstock 6×6 paper pad. Gorgeous papers! (My pictures turned out too blue :O)

I die cut the poppystamps Lattice Plate and NEW Double Diamond Lattice Plate from heavyweight white cardstock, glued them together and adhered them to an A2 panel of the new cardstock. Then adhered to an A2 white cardbase.

I love the depth and texture these lattice dies used together bring to the card front without extreme thickness. This will mail for one postage stamp.

I die cut the NEW Stained Glass Butterfly in heavyweight white cardstock and layered it on a stitched square die cut of the NEW cardstock.

I white heat embossed the sentiment from the Memory Box Cherry Blossom Wreath stamp set on Taylored Expressions black cardstock. Cardstock makes a difference with white powder… this is Lawn Fawn’s white powder over Versamark ink.

A few enamel dots and done. Sorry about the color, I wish I’d realized that before I edited the pictures. ugh. The card is actually the color of the new Memory Box die envelope.

Here’s a phone picture with the dies…

Have a fun weekend! If you’re up for shopping, here’s the link to Simon Says Stamp’s 19th birthday sale!

February 12, 2021February 12, 2021 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s time for a NEW release from Memory Box! So fun for all that love to color and love beautiful lettering!

Today’s card is using the NEW All the Happiness stamp set with two coordinating dies for the florals in the set.

AND there’s *NINE* NEW Memory Box cardstock paper pads!!! 48 6×6 inch sheets. 4 each of 12 shades. Printed on 110lb. cardstock. 6 x 6 inches. So awesome!

I stamped with Ranger Archival Black ink, watercolored with regular Distress Ink, Victorian Velvet and Rustic Wilderness and shaded with Caran ‘dAche dark Carmine and black colored pencils.

Heat embossed the sentiment with black pigment ink and black embossing powder.

For the frame I die cut the Memory Box Wrapped Scalloped Rectangles largest die, then to make it a frame I used one of the dies from the Memory Box Rectangle Basics Set to cut the center out.

Thanks for stopping by! I’ve been helping grands with Valentines… so fun. I need to make some for them! I drank tea too late yesterday so I’m propping my eyelids open today. haha Not responsible for spelling and sentence structure today!

Memory Box Birthday Rose Corner Shape Card…

June 5, 2020 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! I’ve been coloring with Distress ink refills and water again. So fun… I stamped on watercolor paper…MB has watercolor paper now and I keep forgetting to use it! I have to remember!

I die cut with the coordinating die… then I partial cut into the front of my card base so it’d be a shape card of sorts!

Here’s a look at the inside so you can see.

I stamped the Happy Birthday from the new poppystamps Friendship and Kindness stamp set. This happy birthday is part of a larger sentiment but I cut it apart. just make one cut and so you can fit them back together precisely.

I love how this looks in real life when you open it.

I used Peeled Paint and a teeny bit of Pine Needles, Milled Lavender and a teeny bit of Dusty Concord, Victorian Velvet is the pink, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo for the roses and berries.

I spattered with gold paint. The cardstock is Taylored Expressions Pink Champagne… I’ll link it up below.

An A7 size card that’s light and flat and will mail for one stamp! YAY!

Thank you for stopping by today! Happy stamp shopping… so many NEW good ones to color! Beautiful dies, embossing folders, washi tape and pattern paper too! oh my! hehe
