Memory Box Let Heaven and Nature Sing Standing Deer Winter card…

August 26, 2016August 29, 2016 Pam Sparks23 Comments

Hi everyone! Time to share the cards I’ve been teaching for Memory Box! This one is part of the Christmas Elegance class.

The Standing Deer Oval Frame die cut in metallic gold card-stock takes center stage in a winter wonderland created with the Forest Clearing Oval Frame die, the Country Hills Oval Frame die, the Cheery Cardinals die and poppystamps Delicate Holly Frame die. (links below)

The sentiment is from poppystamps Christmas Greetings stamp set, stamped and embossed in gold on a strip of vellum.

A CAS Memory Box Merry Christmas card…

August 1, 2016August 2, 2016 Pam Sparks26 Comments

I fell in love with this Memory Box Fancy Merry Christmas Channel die when I saw it. I want to try using it in a Winter scene but just playing around with dies I had laying on my desk, I made this. The Memory Box Snowflake Scrollwork Sleeve die cut twice, makes up the top and bottom border pieces on the card front.

You could easy slide a family photo or gift card in for a fun presentation. Fast to make too!

I added a few glitter domes (SLS has the larger size HERE, I do love them, especially the red and white) but any fun embellishment would work. Have you seen the new Nuvo Crystal Drops? Video about them at the link. I want them all! lol And now Ranger has 12 colors of Enamel Accents! waahhhh… can I have them all?! I’m excited about these because I do love the enamel dots ‘thing’. Remember when we were ga ga over brads?! I do still love them but, I forget to use them!

Memory Box Winter Scene from the NEW Holiday Release!

July 6, 2016July 23, 2016 Pam Sparks27 Comments

So excited to start sharing some cards with the new Memory Box and poppystamps release!

Today’s card features some new Memory Box dies…so pretty! I die cut the following in white cardstock…

New Fresh Pine Landscape, Forest Clearing Oval Frame, Standing Deer Oval Frame and Snowflake Oval Frame.

I die cut a matching size oval from the Studio Oval Layers in white cardstock and inked it with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and the ink blending tool. I used the rectangle size tool this time… I just like how it covers a larger area. You will also need to cut the Fresh Pine Landscape with the same oval layer die.

I die cut a Stitched Oval Layers die a size larger than the other ovals for the first layer adhered to the A2 card base. Then it’s just a matter of layering everything else on top! I did use cut up mounting squares for the Fresh Pine Landscape layer…it just adds beautiful dimension.
