Memory Box Luxe Peony For You Card…

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…

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? ❤

Spellbinders Scenic Poinsettias Card…

Hi everyone!  I’m still here!  Down to the wire trying to do all the things!  I made this card a few weeks ago and today I decided I was going to get it posted finally!

I LOVE this gorgeous embossing folder from Spellbinders.

I was inspired by Annie HERE

I started out like she describes but I went back after and added some green color pencil for the berry stems and holly leaves.

For my die cuts I used the Spellbinders Holiday Blooms die set.   I remembered I had all the watercolor backgrounds from following Jill Foster’s background video for the new Penny Black release for Christmas!  I used them for die cutting and I’m so happy with how well they go with the ink blended embossing!

The hot foiled Merry Christmas Sentiment is also from Spellbinders.  I’ll link below!

Thank you so much for coming over to visit my blog!  Tonight we have a grandkids choir concert.  They’re part of a homeschool choir with an excellent director who has high expectations so it’s always a beautiful and  a blessed event for us.  Can’t wait! ❤

ttul!

It’s That Time of Year…Simon Says Stamp DieCember!!!

And here we are!  Is the song running through your head? It’s….that time of year when the world falls in love…  Yes, we’re falling in love…with DieCember!!! lol

I’m here to show one of the new dies Snowflake Hexagon!  It’s gorgeous!

I let it snow I think with some JOY in there to you and yours!

Ink Drops – Ocean paper pad for the background paper…Hammermill white cardstock for all the white.

It’s time to shop the release…the dies are up in the shop HERE!

I backed the ink drops panel with a piece of silver metallic cardstock and then mounted it to a white A7 size card base.  It’s Hallmark size!

JOY is the poppystamps New Stacked JOY die. I just used the letters and not the stack outline part. I saved that for another day!

The To You and Yours sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp Santa’s Sleigh Ride Slider stamp set.

OK – I won’t keep you so you can go shop!  Have fun and here’s a CODE you can use for $7 off,   MERRY22 !
