Memory Box Sleighing in a Winter Wonderland Bridge Fold Card…

October 24, 2017July 1, 2019 Pam Sparks31 Comments

Hi you guys! I wish you could come over and see this card in real life!!! I’m so excited to share it with you!

I made a video so I’m not going to cover every detail with text here…

I forgot to say in the video though, that I did a Distress Oxide ink background with Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, Wilted Violet and Black Soot on the mail card-base. Water Splatters and Frost Shimmer Spray splatters on it too! I love it so much! lol

I used several dies and I cover that in the video and links below because yes, you do need these! I use these dies over and over… for timeless creations. hehe

LOOK!!! It folds flat to fit in an A-2 envelope! So awesome and you don’t really need any embellishing because it’s so stunning on it’s own!

I added sparkle to the roof, trees and flakes but it’s still hard to see. I used a Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter brush pen.

This last picture is with my iPhone…at night under the Ott lite but oops…photo bombing stuff all around! lol I love how you can see that one frost circle that looks like a moon?!

In case you’re curious how I made the poppystamps Grand Hour Glass Shaker card last week, here’s a video. There is a super cute little Small Hour Glass die also! So fun to get creative with dies! The Balloon Shaker card was made the same way. Scroll down or click HERE for the card photos. TFL!

Watch it on You Tube HERE…

TTUL! Have fun making!

Memory Box and poppystamps shaker cards…

September 8, 2016September 25, 2016 Pam Sparks23 Comments

This turned out so fun! I used the poppystamps Grand Hour Glass die for this shaker card. The sentiment is from the poppystamps Hope and Thanks stamp set. (there is a small hour glass too!) Oh and I die cut the Banner Sash die right over the top, after I die cut the hour glass.

Here’s a short video to see the action…

And HERE‘s a video tutorial on how to make the Hour Glass Shaker card.

Linking up my shaker cards to the Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes With Dies Challenge…

For this Happy 29th birthday shaker I used the Memory Box Grand Voyage Balloon. I think I’ll stamp AGAIN real big on the inside. hehe

Here’s a short video showing the shaking sequins in the balloon…

I colored the card with Distress inks and the ink blending tools. Mowed Lawn, Festive Berries and Salty Ocean. The sky is Tumbled Glass.

I used the MISTI to stamp the sentiments on both cards. I used a fine line pen to trace the embossed line in the balloon basket so it’d show up more. Easy to stay in the line…well, go over it more than once! lol

Have fun! Hope I inspired you to make something today! Stamp club here tomorrow and I have to get ready for it next! yay!

Thanks for stopping by! ‘preciate it so much! It’s always encouraging to hear from you!

Here’s the shopping links to what I used today… and if you get to shop at a local store, I’m jealous! Not really but you are fortunate!

No stamping! oh my! I just realized this card is just simple ink smooshing and die cutting!

Here’s a video of what I did to make this card. Holler if you have any questions!

If you can shop locally… I just taught this card in one of the two classes at Scrapmania in Cedar Rapids, IA.

Otherwise…online @ starlitstudio.net

Thanks for stopping by today! Always so fun to share and to get your feedback via comments! ‘preciate it!

Are you wondering about the NEW Detail Plates from Memory Box? I showed a Christmas card last year with the Elliana set… so pretty but this January 2015 release has several more! More toys! YAY!

I made a video over the weekend because so many have questions about how to use them. I hope this helps… it’s basically just embossing.

Here’s the video… be sure to click the gear after you hit play and switch to HD… the picture is so much sharper and click the frame to watch it big… easier to see the action and results!

Let me know if you have any questions…

I have a card for the Memory Box Blog Blitz that started today. Click over to the Memory Box blog HERE and while you’re at it, check out the poppystamps blog HERE too! They both have a blitz going on with a chance to win a die in each post… so comment on all the posts through Sunday!

I LOVE all the heart dies in this release! I used the Loving Hearts Arch and the Heart Waterfall for the heart between the two Love words. The LOVE words are from the NEW Open Studio Line, the die set called All About Love.

I kept the leftover stenciled piece from die cutting the rectange on the card in this post, HERE, and trimmed off a sliver to glue on to the left side of my top fold A2 card base.

I die cut the Loving Hearts Arch twice, once in white and once in red. I glued the white arch to the kraft card base and then glued in the red hearts with Tombow Mono Multi glue.

A sliver of red cardstock over where the arch and dot strip meet. Easy to trim a strip on your paper trimmer and glue it on with a thin line of the same glue.

Then some red/white twine tied in a knot across the top fold! All my favorite colors and things!
