Memory Box Precious Mittens…

A little non-traditional on the colors here but I love kraft with red and white…throw in the Memory Box color Pool and it’s a winter wonderland!

I used the NEW Sussex Globe and Precious Mittens dies… the NEW Walking in a Winter Wonderland stamp.

Red Glitter domes and small and medium pearls for a touch of bling… I love it!  Hope you do too!  (I put links below to glitter domes…I love them! used them last  year too)

Merry Christmas and to all a good night! I’m posting today on the Memory Box blog… the last day of the Merry and Bright Blog Blitz!  Be sure to click over and comment for a chance to win!

It’s been so fun to introduce this new collection from Memory Box!  I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing how the NEW dies and stamps look!  This is an A-6 size card.

My card today uses the NEW Holly Holiday Frame die set, Peace Script die, Holiday Hats dies, Mini Holly Leaves die, Deers in the Field stamp and “to all a good night” stamp. 

Memory Box Kraft, Cranberry and Dill note cards and card-stock…a couple red gems and it was done.  

I love the beautiful embossing on this NEW Holly Holiday Frame die… I used a dauber to add gold Delicata ink to the embossing while the die cut was still in the die.

I’d take some snow right now, here in Iowa!  It was so hot and humid yesterday.  At 8 p.m. it was still 90˚! We went out to go for a bike ride but came right back in! lol

I love making scenes with Memory Box dies and stamps!  A Sapphire notecard for the card base, Dill, Vanilla Bean, Sapphire and white notecards to cut the dies from.  Someone, please makes some snow! lol   OK – I’ll settle for staying inside in the air conditioning!

PamSparksManorHouseSnowFront700

Keep cool and stamp on!  yikes!  Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoying my snow! I’ll be back Friday with two posts!  This week of posting could easy be a record for me!  Never fear,  I won’t be able to keep it up! lol

Take care and thanks again!  I appreciate your comments and encouragement so much!

I used acetate in the window to imitate glass. I applied glue gloss  (link below) to the tree while the cut was still in the die, removed the cut and then embossed the glue areas with Judikins white diamond embossing powder.
