Let's Get Together Soon with Memory Box

 

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a card featuring the new Fanciful Gladiola Stem (94791).  This is a great die for layering and it cuts all in one pass.  There are 3 larger stems, one can be cut or colored from greens for the stems, etc. and the others can be cut from flower colors or colored in the way you like it.  Here's a close up of my card:

The lighter purple pieces are small and glued together.  To figure out where they all go, I suggest you use the front of the packaging photo as it is "to size" meaning the pieces will match like a puzzle if you lay them down on the photo.  Here's an even closer look:

I colored the background larger stem with the darkest purple, the large stem with green and then medium piece with mid purple color, then the smallest pieces with my lightest purple marker.  After I glued them together, I added some color pencil in the line and toward the bottom of the stems and blooms.  I cut the paper from "Glimmering Gladiola" paper pack PP1028 on a diagonal so the gladiolas were straight up and down.  (The paper has them at a diagonal which is also gorgeous to use that way for a background!)  The sentiment was stamped in purple and black inks and it's from the "Cheerful Floral" clear stamp and die set CL5278.  

Here's one last look at my card:

I hope you like my card for today!  I had a lot of fun putting it together and hope it inspires you to create some floral cards!  Chack out the whole recent releases from Memory Box - such gorgeous products.  If you'd like links and more information, check out my blog post HERE.

Water Fun from House Mouse Designs - New Spellbinders Release

Hello and welcome!  There's another House Mouse Designs - Summer Fun released today and I've used the "Water Fun" stamp - so cute!

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/jqp5d31

I stamped the image and colored it with Zigs, then cut it out with a deckled rectangle die and added it to the piece paper from the "Serenade of Autumn" paper pack.  I added the sentiment to the card front with pop dots and then added glossy accents on the water and a few dots on the mice too.

Simple and quick!  I have affiliate links below at no extra cost to you if you are interested in the supplies I used.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Just a Note with Memory Box

Hello there, it's Angie here today with a mini slimline card!

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/nqrg0jz

My card is featuring the new Exquisite Butterflies die 94771, just released this month. I also used some patterned paper from the new release called Glimmering Gladiola Paper Pad PP1028. The sentiment was released last month and it's called Just a Note Daily Script die set 94663. It's a really nice sentiment that has 3 parts that are cut with 2 dies. A background die plus a 2nd die that cuts the outline of the words and also individual letters inside the outline, so there are many ways to use this sentiment die. Here's a close up of my card: 

 Another really cool feature about the butterfly die is that it is just one die but it cuts all the parts for all five butterflies. It's great because you don't have to try to keep up with tiny metal dies or lose them while your are doing your die cutting. As you can see below, some of the butterflies have center bug parts and the smaller ones don't, so I added a jewel to those centers for some shine!

 Here's one last look at my card:



I hope you have had a chance to check out all the lovely gladiola dies and papers that were released by Memory Box this month. They are truly gorgeous and go well with these butterflies that were also just released. Thanks for stopping by!

Gladiola Thank You with Memory Box Dies

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with another Gladiola card - this time a thank you card I made for a friend.  

Here's a closer look at my card:

I used the Budding Gladiola Stem 94792 along with the Thank You Daily Script die 94655 to create this clean and simple card.  

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/431q1y0

I die cut the buds and leaves from white card stock and then colored them with markers and pencils, then glued them together and cut the sentiment from white and black card stock and glued them together.  I added a thin strip of striped paper from my stash to anchor the design and coordinate with the black and white in the sentiment.  Here's one last look at my clean and simple card for today:

I hope you like my card for today, it was super fun to create and very easy too!  Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the whole new release from Memory Box!

 

 

Two Projects with Spellbinders "All The Sentiments" Collection by Stampendous

Hello and welcome! I have two cards for you today featuring newly released products from Spellbinders by Stampendous rom the "All the Sentiments Collection."

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/kqjxnp9

First I made a sympathy card using "Sincere Sentiments Clear Stamp Set." I heat embossed the images (and sentiment) randomly around an A2 panel with gold embossing powder then colored it with Zig Clean Color markers. Here's a close up view:



I trimmed the panel down and then added it to a black panel that was cut slightly smaller than my A2 card base. I adhered both white colored and black combined panels to the card base and that's it - my finished card. Here's one last look:



Next I used the brand new "A2 Gift Card Holder and Envelope" from the same collection. Here's the front of my card with the coordinating envelope:

The "for you" die is also included in the set along with happy, birthday, your, it's, a - several words so you can combine them for different sentiments.  I used patterned paper from my stash along with gold mirror paper from my stash.  Here's a look at the inside:



The die also comes with the envelope die, a separate die to cut the gift card holder and two rounded rectangles for layering and covering the edges of the center gift card holder.  You can see I used the "Happy Birthday" sentiment on the inside.  To help the white letters adhere to the gold mirror paper, I used Glossy Accents - it works much better on mirror paper than regular glue.

Here's one last look:

I hope you like my cards for today, I had a lot of fun creating them.  Feel free to use my affiliate links if you are interested in any of the products I used at no extra cost to you.  It helps compensate me for my designs and work to inspire your creations!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
