Memory Box Luxe Peony For You Card…

January 4, 2023January 4, 2023 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s been a week so far…some anxiety here…our internet provider is discontinuing their email service which I’ve had forever! So I’ve had to spend hours changing log ins in all the places I used that email address over the years. Fingers crossed everything still works after January 6th which is the day they’re cutting it off! eek!

Thankfully I’ve gotten one card made in there to keep my sanity! haha

A brand NEW Peony die from Memory Box.. very fun and easy to use… I die cut in white and inked with two Altenew ink cubes and mini ink blending tools. The leaves/stems come with it too and I inked them the same way. I’ll link the colors below.

For You Posh Script is a NEW Memory Box die also. I die cut it three times and glued them together. I didn’t use the mat behind it this time, I just used the top outline part.

I wanted to bring in a heart so I used the largest heart from the Memory Box Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out die set.

I didn’t add a lot of thickness… just the thin mounting tape I love so well behind the heart. I use this pair of scissors, HERE, to cut it because it is sticky.

I inked around the edge of the A2 size top panel with Simon Says Stamp Deep Purple and an ink blending brush.

A Clean and Simple card by design with simple coloring too!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope your week doesn’t have major tech changes too! Insert the crazy face!

4 Cards with the NEW poppystamps and Memory Box Releases…

December 30, 2022December 30, 2022 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! How are you? December was a wild month for me, glorious but busy! ❤ Here I am, back on the blog! lol

Big Hugs to you and I hope you had a Beautiful Christmas and are looking forward to a happy cardmaking New Year! I am!

I love hearts! No surprise since my blog name! This NEW Heartfelt Pinpoint Frame from poppystamps makes me happy! I cut strips from Memory Box 6×6 cardstock paper pad scraps. I loved that I was able to use some of the strips that are left after making A2 size cards! It was really easy to use the different tones to inlay the hearts and I love how it turned out! YAY!

Two lengths of 2 inch Scor-tape on the back to hold the hearts in place.

I kept it really clean and simple because I didn’t want to cover up the hearts!

For the sentiment I used the poppystamps You Are Amazing Poe Script Greetings Hot Foil Plate and Dies from the Spring release.

I added some brown twine to finish it off and adhered it to a white A2 size cardbase with my favorite thin mounting tape.

This NEW poppystamps release has three coordinating products in it. My first card uses the die, my second the stencil. There’s also a Hot Foil Plate but I didn’t get that used for this post.

Now I’m thinking I should’ve embossed this next card’s panel with the die after I stenciled! I liked it so well after I inked it though, I was happy! lol

Here I used the NEW poppystamps Criss Cross Heart Stencil that coordinates with the Heartfelt Pinpoint Frame die.

I used the NEW poppystamps Vintage Scalloped Heart dies on top of the NEW Memory Box Pinpoint Burst Heart die.

I used watercolor papers that I’d painted with Fired Brick and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks.

The LOVE sentiment is the NEW Love You Gallery Script die from Memory Box.

Let’s Connect is from poppystamps Contempo Greetings stamp and die set.

From cute to cuter! The hearts needed some critters! I love the cute fox and beaver additions!

I couldn’t help but add a little strip of one of the plaids I haven’t used yet from the Memory Box Jolly Christmas 6×6 pad I love this one for Valentines!

I used two whittle stamp sets for the sentiment on this card…Whittle Everyday for the all you need part and Whittle Wild Animal Sentiments for the word fox.

I trimmed the Whittle Tree Border die to get the three trees.

Whittle Happy Fox and Whittle Sleepy Fox are die cut in white, colored with Copics and edges inked with inky ink blending brushes.

Black multiliner in the crease lines.

Beavers are always popular for Valentines, have you noticed? I guess they go around stealing heart! hoho

I used the Whittle Beaver for this card…die cut in white and colored and ink the same as the fox.

I had to embellish it with one of the NEW poppystamps Teardrop Butterflies! What charming images they are!

The NEW poppystamps Vintage Scalloped Heart used again here with Red and White cardstocks.

Sentiment from Contempo Greetings again, white heat embossed on Memory Box Black glossy cardstock.

All four cards are A2 size.

I hope I didn’t forget too much! Email me if you have any questions!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I still have some Christmas to post and some birthdays too! eek! And January is a big birthday month for our family.

I hope I’m not the only one shaking my head that 2022 is already moving right a long into 2023! I have so many things I want to make…is that you too? ❤

ttul,

poppystamps Tall Curved Heart Arch Card…

February 14, 2022 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Happy Valentines Day! Here I am at the last minute sharing one more heart card!

I die cut the new poppystamps Tall Curved Heart Arch two dies from white cardstock and colored both with Copic Sketch Markers. R24, G82, G85, E42 and E44.

I love this sentiment from poppystamps Marzipan Greetings. I inked with Versamark in the Misti and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I die cut two poppystamps Tall Curve Background from a piece of Simple Stories woodgrain pattern paper and layered them on the poppystamps Oval Fold Frame die cut in Memory Box 6×6 Garland Stripes and Dots pattern paper pad.

I colored a scrap of white with R24 and die cut some small hearts using the small heart die that comes with the Memory Box Heart Streamer Globe die. I glued them to the oval that is a die in the Oval Fold Frame set.

It’s an A2 size card that should mail easily with one postage stamp.

It turned out fun! I always love kraft and paper hugs! ❤

Stay tuned! More NEW coming! ttul!

Hi everyone! Enjoying some sunshine today and warmer temps! yay! I decided to use this new Memory Box Serene Bird and Branch die to make a love card! It’s that time of year!

I die cut the Memory Box Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out die in a white panel of cardstock. Then I ran it back through with the Memory Box Pinpoint Leaf Plate die.

I die cut a red heart with the Double Stitch Happy Heart also.

I used Memory Box 6×6 cardstock pads, Berry Red, Fresh Aqua and Lush Green.

For the sentiment I heat embossed the sentiment from the poppystamps Contempo Greetings stamp set in white on black cardstock and die cut it with the coordinating die.

I added a few Christmas Fairy Jewels.

I adhered the bird and the sentiment with mounting tape.

Thank you for stopping by today! I’ll be back again soon!
