Memory Box Toolbox 3D Embossing Folder Birthday Card…

June 1, 2023June 1, 2023 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing a card I made with the NEW Memory Box 3D Toolbox 3D Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies.

It’s so neat that you can die cut, then put the cuts into the folder to get all this detail!

I was inspired by Memory Box Dave’s card HERE. It’s such a great design I pretty much copied it!

So fun! Our grandson Rogan’s 9th birthday is today and he’s a great help with work around the house. Of course boys love tools and knives!

I used the Memory Box Wooden Alpha Dies for his name.

Happy Birthday sentiment is white heat embossed on red with the Memory Box Best Life Typewriter Sentiments. It’s from 2019 and doesn’t look like it’s available anymore. This would work also…Banner Greetings.

I used some Silver Foil and Glossy Black cardstocks for tool parts and Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool to age the Memory Box wood grain cardstock and kraft cardstock.

Everything is adhered with the thin mounting tape that I love, linked below, except for the little red happy birthday sentiment.

This card fits in a #10 business size envelope but it’s not as long as the usual slimline card. It’s 3 ¾ in. x 8 ¼ in.

Linking my card to some challenges…

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – anything goes

Can You Handle the Pressure? – Anything goes but must use an embossing folder

Cardz 4 Galz – #200 Slimline Birthday

Papercraft Crew – masculine

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Hope it gets you thinking about man cards we’ll be needing later this month for dad’s too! I have two more family birthdays this month and two gals at stamp club. No slacking on the card front here! lol

Two Grad Cards with Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Club…

May 24, 2023May 24, 2023 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! Some fun cards that came together fast. I was so glad the club kit has birthday and graduation sentiment banners!

A2 size cardbase with a panel on top… die cut all the parts…you even get the cloud dies in the set! It’s such a good deal for $15! You can purchase later but the price is $27!

One of our grandsons when he was a toddler loved lining up his airplanes like a lot of boys line up cars! So cute! Now he loves fishing, playing the piano and drums….and swimming and and and! lol Airplanes always make me remember this about him.

The dies in this kit make lines to follow where the pieces go! THAT is so great! Helpful! Speeds it up!

The words in the banners are such a neat look!

I used my favorite double sided mounting tape to adhere the die cuts to the card. The clouds are glued flat.

I had a lot of pictures for this first card… second card I only have two. So keep scrolling! lol

Basically the same thing only Slimline size…matte gold and matte silver scrap pieces for the airplane.

I love the clean and simple approach with the dark medium blue sky! So fun!

My daughters needed 7 grad cards so these 2 will go with 5 others I made for them. So fun! I love it when I get to use my supplies!

Thank you so much for stopping by and before you go I better tell you about the SALE Spellbinders has going on! Some wonderful products to choose from! So glad we can order online since Hobby Lobby quit carrying them.

Have a good rest of the week!

Memory Box Magnolia Blossom Trio and Vibrant Leaf Corner Card…

May 21, 2023May 23, 2023 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hello! I had fun making some more magnolias this week! Memory Box dies are so awesome to work with!

I used some old Bazzill cardstocks to get two tones but you could easy color the little pieces to get the same efect.

I ended up with a lot of pictures again…

I think this piece of pattern paper I used for the background is my favorite from the New Magnolia Grove 6×6 paper pad.

Not much to tell about this card… die cut, glue, hot foil and adhere the panel to an A2 cardbase.

I don’t know why but I really like this card! The combination of the pretty papers, see the plaid from the NEW Magnolia Plaid 6×6 pad that I hot foiled and die cut with the Rectnalge Double Border Hot Foil Plate and A2 Rectangle Frames Die Set, and the pretty flowers with the Leaf corners…. love!

Unusual colors for me too…

Thinking about sending cards reminds me of the ones I need to get in the mail! Do you have a pile on your desk that needs to go out too?

I hope this brings a little Spring beauty to your day! It does to mine!

poppystamps Floral Vase Pop Up Easel Set Card…

May 16, 2023May 27, 2023 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Hello everyone! It’s Geranium season for hanging baskets around here! Ferns on the front porch and Geraniums on the back porch.

They always inspire me to make a Geranium card!

This poppystamps Floral Vase Pop Up Easel is so cute! It’s not huge, fits in an A2 size envelope but it’s slim and so dainty size wise. I love it!

There’s not much to tell about it! You just die cut the pieces, glue them together and onto the card! I did use my favorite thin mounting tape for the vase and the sentiments.

I wrapped a little twine on it… can I make a card without twine?! lol

So sweet and cute with so many different flower dies in the set you can make any flower you want!

I used poppystamps Modest Greetings 2 Hot Foil and Cut die set and Memory Box Cardstock paper pads.

poppystamps easel cards are all so fun and easy and I love that they are easy to display too! HERE‘s the Geranium I made last year with the basket easel card die set.

Spellbinders Clear Stamp and Die Set Monthly Club Card…

May 10, 2023May 9, 2023 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Today is all about you…once a year that is! Hip Hip Hooray! This is such a cute set!

I didn’t use very many of the dies for this card but I did stamp and die cut them all before I started this card.

Then I decided to stamp and heat emboss in white and color with color pencils! It was a quick color because small spaces!

Very simple coloring…two shades of each color.

I used Caran d’Ache Pablo pencils.

Almost a one layer card!

I die cut the panel with Hemstitch Rectangles and layered onto black cardstock with my favorite thin mounting tape.

It turned out sweet! I love the cuteness of the whimsical fonts included with the stamp set and that the space is already figured out, where to place them! I heat embossed in white on black cardstock and die cut them with the included dies! yay for dies!

I have too many pictures but oh well, makes up for the times I don’t have very many. haha

A little different angle. The stamp lines are very delicate and embossed up so nice!

I think it ended up feeling very feminine even though it’s on kraft! I like it!

It’s A2 size…
