Hi everyone. I have another holiday card featuring the Bundled Bird layered die set.

 

Bird:

Die cut the bird from heavy weight cream card stock.  Ink blend the different layers with Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Ground Espresso Distress ink.  Use Ripe Persimmon for the beak.  Follow the image on the packaging for ink blending and adhering the bird layers together.  I did add some foam tape under the tops of the wings. Die cut the hat and scarf from red and white stock. Ink blend the bottom die cut for the fur with Fresh Ink Silicone Blue.  Ink blend the bottom sections of the hat and scarf with  Lumberjack Plaid Distress ink.  Adhere together using the packaging as a guide.

Nest:

Die cut the nest from heavy weight cream card stock.  Ink blend the different layers with Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, and Walnut Stain Distress Oxide ink. Follow the image on the packaging for ink blending and adhering the bird layers together.  tip do NOT glue the front part of the nest so you can tuck in the bird when assembling.

Branch:

Die cut the Forest Pine Branch from the same cream card stock. Ink blend the pine needles with Rustic Wilderness Distress ink.  Use a dark brown watercolor marker to color in the branch. I did die cut another branch from dark brown card stock and adhered it to the back.  

Sentiment:

Die cut Best Wishes Tender Script bottom from red card stock and the top with red.  Ink blend the the bottom die cut with Lumberjack Plaid Distress ink.  Adhere the 2 together.  White heat emboss "warm" from warm wishes stamp from the Shining Star stamp set on red card stock ink blend with Lumberjack Plaid Distress ink.  Fussy cut out the sentiment.

Assembly:

Trim down a light red/pink paper from the Poinsettia Plaid paper pad to 4" x 5 1/4".  Adhere to a A2 white card.  Adhere the sentiment to the bottom center, then the branch, nest and bird, inserting into the nest.  

 

Supplies

PP1023 Poinsettia Plaid

I'm back today with another fall card using products from the newest collection, 2023 Christmas.  This time I used a lot of plaid (surprised?!)  from the Poinsettia Plaid paper pad as well as one of the leafy prints from the Poinsettia Garland paper pad.

to make this card

• cover the front of a white note card with one of the plaid papers from POINSETTIA PLAID PP1023
• cut a smaller rectangle using one of the leafy prints from the POINSETTIA GARLAND PP1024 paper pad
• add that rectangle to a scrap of white card stock and trim so there is a narrow white border around the print paper
• die cut the BUNDLED BIRD 94760--without its accessories--from two different but complementary plaids from POINSETTIA PLAID PP1023 
• assemble the two birds mixing the plaids a bit and add tiny black jewels for the eyes from AUTUMN FAIRY JEWELS JWL004

• use dimensional foam of different thicknesses to add the birds to the panel with one bird raised up on top of the other

• die cut the LEAF BUNCHES 94745 from a brown plaid and tuck them under the birds

...and that's it!  A cute card that you can send anytime to a friend for any occasion!

Happy Fall!  and Happy Crafting!

This Fallen Leaves card uses some of my favorite things from the newest Memory Box 2023 Christmas collection.  Even though this is primarily a winter/holiday release, I'm just getting into fall mode on this first day of autumn.  Fallen Leaves uses paper from the two new paper pads as well as gold mirror card stock.

to make this card

• cover the front of a white note card with one of the embossed metallic papers from POINSETTIA GARLAND PP1024 6X6 PAPER PAD
• die cut the WINTER TREE ARCH 94735 from Gold mirror card stock from the VINTAGE PASTEL MIRROR PAD 6X6 FP1002
• add the Winter Tree Arch to the front of the note card so that the tips of the branches are near the top

• die cut the smallest rectangle from A2 RECTANGLE FRAMES DIE SET 94672 from a scrap of the gold mirror card stock

• die cut the GYPSY OAK LEAVES 94744 from one of the brown plaids in the POINSETTIA PLAID 6X6 PP1023 PAPER PAD

• assemble the leaves by gluing the outline on top of the solid leaves and use dimensional foam to add those to the gold rectangle
• place the gold rectangle with its leaves on top of the base of the Winter Tree Arch

It's hard to show in a photograph how stunning this is with all of the metallic shimmer from all three of the papers I used.  

Happy Fall!

 

The Memory Box Christmas 2023 Collection has something for everyone.  Select from winter florals, birds, great typestyle greetings, 6x6's, snowflakes, evergreens and a friendly snowman.  Cute, sweet, elegant, traditional and contemporary!  Hi, Jean here with a winter pastels design today.

Cut a bright pink Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad 6x6 with the 2-¼" x 3-½" A2 Rectangle Frames die.  Spritz it with a light mist of water. Place it in the bottom right corner of the new Vintage Tray 3D Embossing Folder and lightly tape it in place along the left and right edges.  Emboss it with the plate(s) required for your machine.

Trim the 2 poinsettias from the new Perfect Poinsettias Rub On Transfers - include a generous margin around the designs.  Carefully remove the designs from the paper backing and attach them to smooth white cardstock.  Cut them with the dies included in the Perfect Poinsettias 3D Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies set.  The diecutting pressure will burnish them smoothly onto the cardstock.

Or - use the wood craft stick included in the set to carefully burnish the design onto the cardstock.

Remove the plastic layer.  Place the diecut designs in the embossing folder and emboss them.

Glue two layers of white cardstock together and diecut the new Brilliant Joy background.  Pressure-emboss it with the detailed overlay die using the rubber embossing mat and plate(s) required for your machine.  Cut the overlay from a green Graceful Garden Glitter Pad 6x6.  Attach the glittered greeting to the background.  You'll have a bonus glittered greeting for another project too!

Cut white cardstock with the 2-½" x 3-¾" A2 Rectangle Frames die for a background layer.  The A2 Rectangle Frames set is perfectly sized for both A2 and A6 cards...no measuring or guessing required!

Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (4-½" x 6-¼") - use foamtape for the greeting.  Add green Bright Fairy Jewels.

Good morning everyone!  I am so excited for the new 2023 Memory Box Christmas Release!

There are so many beautiful products in this release, that it was hard to pick which ones to use first.  I love the new Sentiment Strips!  It's so  handy to have these on hand when you need a quick card.

The first thing I did was to add Distress Ink to white cardstock to create green paper to die cut the "Layered Evergreen Trees".

I glued the lighter green die cut on top of the darker tree die cut.

Next, I die cut the "Aurora Snowflake" from white cardstock and glued the detail snowflake on top of the shadow snowflake die cut.  

On a white cardstock panel, I applied Candied Apple Distress Ink in the center of the cardstock and feathered the color out towards the edge of the paper.  I spattered the background with plain water to add some texture to the inked background.

I glued the white snowflake to the center of the background and glued the trees on top of that.  Next, I spattered the background with white ink.

I glued the panel to a green cardstock mat and adhered it to a white card base.

To finish the card I added the sentiment strip across the bottom of the trees and added a red jewel to the top of the tree.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this card and please check out the rest of the new products!

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a fun Christmas card using some of the beautiful newly released dies from the latest release!   You have to check out this release, it's big and has so many beautiful things, including some new already foiled sentiments, new papers, 3D embossing folders and so much more.

For my card today I used the Vintage Tray 3D embossing folder and coordinating die set.  I only used the embossing folder and not the die.  But it's very cool and it cuts out each shape of the woodgrain sections plus the outside frame that also has lots of pretty detail.  I added the embossed panel to a white card base and then started cutting my pieces from white card stock.  I actually cut everything from white and colored them with alcohol markers.  Only the bottom of the birds was colored differently, with ink blending.

First I cut the Classic Pine Needle Springs die and colored them with a dark green.  Next I cut the Woodgrain Bird House, colored all the pieces and glued them together.  Once it was together, I added lots of sparkle pen to the snow on top of the house.  Here's a closer look at all that sparkle:

I cut the 2 birds from the Nested Chickadee Duo die set and colored all the pieces before I put them together.  And lastly I cut the Merry Christmas Jolly Script die, also from white and used red markers on the larger layering background piece to lay the thinner letters on top of.  Just remember to save the inside of your "e" and your "a" so you can add those pieced to the red background.

Once I was happy with the layout, I started glueing some pieces down and popping some up on foam tape for dimension.  Here's one last look:

I really love those cute birds and that birdhouse.  There are other birds in the release including a cardinal, so check out all the new goodies from the 2023 Christmas release.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Be sure to come back each day for more inspiration from the team.

The Christmas 2023 Collection has arrived!  The festive release is filled with dies, stencils, 3D embossing folders, stamps, 6x6 prints and plaids - and convenient new ready-to-go foil greeting tabs. And a beautiful set of holiday floral rub-on transfers too!  It's everything you'll need for holidays!

Cut the Aurora Snowflake background from a pale blueish-white Delicate Pastel glitter pad sheet.  Cut the detailed snowflake from the blue Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad sheet.  

Cut the tiny snowflake pattern from the new Poinsettia Garland 6x6 with the 2-½" x 3-¾" A2 Rectangle Frames die.  Cut turquoise cardstock with the 2-¾" x 4" rectangle frames die.

Glue 2 layers of white cardstock together and cut the solid background of the Merry Christmas Charmed Script.  Pressure-emboss it with the detailed overlay die .  Cut the detailed top layer from the turquoise Rainbow Reflections 6x6.  Attach the greetings - pressure embossing creates a debossed outline to receive the top layer. 

Two ways to dot the starburst "i" in Christmas - just attach the tiny little dot offcut, or use a screwpunch to create a tiny hole and attach a scrap of the turquoise Rainbow Reflections behind the hole.  

 

Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (4-½" x 6-¼").  Attach turquoise Bright Jewels.

I'll add the product links as soon as they're available.  Till then - here are the new item numbers:

Hello everyone.  Pumpkins are not just for Halloween. 😉  I’m using the Autumn Pumpkin die from the 2023 Fall collection again, and this time using it to create a fall / thanksgiving card.

All images / pieces were die cut from various white paper and/or cardstock.  Ink blending with blending brushes and distress inks (DIs) were used to color them, except for the pumpkin and leaves.  Copic Sketch markers E41/43, W3 and BG99 were used to color the white pumpkin, while the orange leaves were done by ink smooshing diluted Spiced Marmalade and Rusty Hinge DIs.  The large Layered Daisies were die cut three times and their centers were from Riverbank Large Layered Blooms.

DIs used include:
large daisies - Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Gathered Twigs
small daisies - Mustard Seed, Wilted Violet
Layered Greenery Stems - Iced Spruce 

The Mini Varsity Alphabet letters were die cut from gold Vintage Pastel Mirror paper and adhered onto a dark brown cardstock strip.  The background panel is cream woodgrain paper scored vertically at 1” intervals, then an Antique Linen DI cube was dragged direct-to-paper down its length to help bring out the woodgrain texture.  Assembled the card onto a cream color card base to finish.

That does it for my card.  Thank you for joining me today.  Have a wonderful week,
