Die cut the largest die from the Heritage Rectangle die set from heavy white card stock.  Then take the 3rd largest die from the Rectangle Basics set and die cut to create the frame.  Add some thin strips of foam tape on the backside of the frame.  Trim the hot pink paper with the white floral patterned from the Brilliant Fuchsia pack to A2 size.

Flowers:

Die cut the Lavish Fuchsia Stem die set from heavy white card stock.  Ink blend with Distress Oxide inks in  Bundled Sage, Spun Sugar, and Shaded Lilac.  Adhere together using the envelope as a guide.

Hello everyone! It is my very first post on the Memory Box Blog and I could not be happier to have joined this wonderful team.  Today I am featuring a sweet Thank You card featuring the new Gypsy Swallow-tail Die and the Magnolia Leaf Branch.

Background:

To create the ink-blended background I first made a stencil from an A2 panel of 80lb white cardstock and the third largest die from the new Heritage Rectangles Frames set as shown, making sure to save the inner frame for a future project.  Next, using low-tack tape, I tape my paper stencil to another white A2 panel and I gently ink-blended a sunrise scene using Dye Inks from Altenew: Butternut, Peachy Keen, and Tangerine Dream.  Once my ink-blending was complete I add a little gold splatter with my Gansai Tambi Starry Colors metallic watercolor pan set.

Gypsy Swallow-Tail:  

I die cut the elements using 3 complementary colors from the Sunrise paper pack and glued the pieces together following the guide on the back of the packaging.

Magnolia Leaf Branch:

I die cut the main branch and leaves from both 80lb white cardstock and Kraft cardstock from my stash.   I used Distress Oxide Ground Espresso to darken the branch portion of the main die-cut cut from Kraft and I used Altenew Green Opal Dye ink to color the leaves attached to the branch.  For the remaining leaf die-cuts cut from white cardstocl,  I used a combination of Altenew Green Opal and Mossy Meadows Die Inks.  I glued everything together as shown on the back of the packaging, also attaching my extra white branch die-cut for added dimension.

Assembly:

I attached the branch to the background panel as shown with glue.   Next, I attached the Gypsy Swallow-tail using thick and thin foam tape for added dimension.  To finish everything off, I added a black and gold foil “Thank You” sentiment tab and attached my finished panel to a folding A2-sized card-base.

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a pretty wildflower card made with goodies from some of the latest releases. 

Here's a closer look at my card:

To create my card I took a piece of turquoise card stock and stamped the Wildflower Field background stamp CS2086 in Versamark ink and then heat embossed it with copper/gold embossing powder.  Next I colored the image with Zig Clean Color markers, a gold and a white paint pen.  I used the Cherish Scallped Frames die set, (the largest one in the set) to cut out my card front and then added it to a top fold white card base.  The sentiment is from Sunshine and Wildflowers stamp set CL5290 heat embossed in white. I added some gold paint pen inside the dots between the hearts and then added a few white hearts left over from a previous project for some extra interest.  

Here's one last look:

Be sure to come back each day for more inspiration from the team!  Happy crafting my friends!

The bold dimensions of the Blue River Butterfly highlight a paper-pieced design - and the Anemone Grove 6x6 prints has the perfect colors and patterns for a summer butterfly.  Hi, Jean here with a collage-y mix of prints, blues, teals and gold.  And a bit of inspiration for June's Sympathy Card Challenge.

Cut 5/8" x 4-1/2" strips of prints from the Anemone Grove 6x6 set - you'll need 2 from the sheet with tiny gold + pale aqua flowers on one side and large pale blue flowers + a turquoise background on the reverse side.

Attach the strips to a piece of adhesive label paper (or a sticker sheet).  Cut Blue River Butterfly from printer paper. Use the offcut  as a template to find the perfect area to diecut your butterfly.  Place the die in the template and cut the butterfly.  

Cut the butterfly's center and wing accents from the gold Rainbow Reflections 6x6.

Cut white cardstock with the 1.75" and 2.25" wide Rectangle Basics dies.  Attach just the centers of the rectangles so the edges lift slightly for dimension.  Attach the butterfly.

Attach the diecuts to a top-folded white A2 card - use foam dots for the top of the wings.

Stamp the greeting - from the With Sympathy Clear Stamps Set - with Warm Breeze VersaFine Clair.  

Add turquoise Christmas Fairy Dewdrops.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Memory Box 6x6 sets feature a great mix of colors, gold details, prints and patterns to mix and match for colorful summer designs.  Add sparkly, shimmery accents with our glitter pads, mirror cardstock, gems, dewdrops and jewels.

Thanks for visiting  our blog...have a great weekend!

Happy Thursday everyone!  Today I have another quick and easy card for you using new stamp sets from the 2025 Summer Meadow and Peony releases.

For the background panel of my card I used the Circle Basic die set, traced several sizes of circles onto white cardstock and then colored them in with colored pencils.

Next I used black ink to stamp the flower onto the background panel.  I filled the whole background with the stamped image.  Next I glued it to a black cardstock mat and adhered it to a white card base.

The word Hello was stamped onto black cardstock, white heat embossed and die cut with the coordinating die.  I used foam tape to adhere it to the card front.

See how easy that was!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Today's card features the Gypsy Swallow-tail 94891 three times as well as card stock from the Sunrise pack SP1013 and both the Nutmeg Plaid PP1033 and Nutmeg Forest PP1034.

materials used

• white A2 side-fold note card
• GYPSY SWALLOW-TAIL 94891
• patterned paper from NUTMEG FOREST PP1034
• plaid paper for the birds from NUTMEG PLAID PP1033
• card stock papers from SUNRISE SP1013 PAPER PACK

to make this card

• cut a patterned paper from Nutmeg Forest 4 X 5 1/4 and add it to the front of the A2 note card
• cut a piece of coordinating card stock from the Sunrise card stock paper pack 3 X 4 1/4 and add it to the front of the note card
• from the Gypsy Swallow-tail dies, cut the large body with the detailed wing from a solid color card stock from the Sunrise pack  (3X)
• choose a coordinating plaid from Nutmeg Plaid to cut the other pieces of the Gypsy Swallow-tail (3X)
• use a glue pen to assemble the birds (there is a die cut piece for the under-head/beak but I chose to use pieces I punched out from the wings that match the body color); add Fairy Jewels for the eyes
• use dimensional foam to add the birds to the solid color panel--start with the top one and overlap the others below it 
• by setting the solid panel off to the left, there is room to add an appropriate foil circle tab to the front--either Happy Birthday or Thank You or add a sentiment inside the card

What other dies do you have that could become a trio on the front of a note card?  

Happy Crafting!

Hello, Jean here with a different approach.  I like to preview a card by telling you how quick and easy it is.  Today's card is a detailed design that requires time, patience and a lot of glue.  Hope you'll like it!

Stamp Sunshine and Wildflowers on white cardstock with Onyx Black VersaFine.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Cut it with the 3-1/2" wide Nested Globes die.

Cut the small Bird Blossoms flowers from Raspberry Sorbet and Orange Peel cardstock, and from light peach cardstock.  

Cut the small Fringe Flowers from the cardstock too.  Cut three sets of the small Fringe Flowers centers from a sheet of the Black Glossy Paper Pack.  

I couldn't send sunshine and wildflowers with a sunburst so...cut the larger Fringe Flowers from the bright yellow Graceful Garden Glitter Pad 6x6.  Cut the largest Fringe Flowers center from the yellow glittered 6x6 too.  We're using 5 of the 6 flowers and the center to create a sun.  Build the sun by starting and ending with wider pieces and layering the skinny pieces in between.  Attach the circle.  (The only diecut not used for the sun is shown in the first photo)

Attach the diecuts to the Nested Globe background.  Add 1/4" circles punched from the yellow glittered 6x6.

Attach the everything  to a textured white A6 card (4-1/2" x -1/4").

Stamp the greeting - from the new Sunshine and Wildflowers Clear Stamps - on pale peach cardstock with Onyx Black VersaFine.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Add the greeting to the card - use foam tape for the "Sending."

Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Thanks for visiting our blog...see you on Friday!

Happy Father's Day to everyone celebrating today!   Hi, Jean here, adding an extra weekend idea - felt birds sharing thanks between generations!

Attach adhesive label paper (or a sticker sheet) to aqua woolblend felt  cut the large base sections of Bluebird Prince and Wistful Sparrow.  The paper backing stabilizes the felt and prevents adhesives from saturating it.

Here are the additional products used for Bluebird Prince - crown (gold Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6), head and wings (Rainbow Reflecions turquoise 6x6), beak (Sunset Collection yellow 6x6 - color the eye area with a black marker), legs (Sunset 6x6 - colored with a brown marker)

Additional products used for Wistful Sparrow - head and wing (Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad pale blue 6x6), beak (Sunset Collection yellow 6x6 - color the eye area with a black marker)

Prep the detailed Magnolia Leaf Branch die by rubbing it briskly with scrunched waxed paper to help release the delicate pieces.  Cut the branch from a medium-green 6x6 from the Greenery Collection.  Darken the stems with a mustard-colored marker.

Cut pale green cardstock with the 4-3/4" wide Wrapped  Stitch Rectangle die.  Attach it to a matching A6 card (4-1/2" x 6-1/4").

Attach the diecuts - use foam tape for the birds, and tilt the large leaf behind Bluebird Prince's crown to let the crown stand out.   Add a few of the extra leaves from the die set.  Trim the ends, then add a Thank You Foil Greetings White Tab.  Attach turquoise Christmas Fairy Dewdrops.  Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Thanks for visiting our blog...enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Send caring thoughts and words of support with a mix of design elements and soft colors.  Hi,  Jean here after (hopefully!) many glitches and challenges.  Hoping these quiet thoughts and gentle colors will calm things down a bit...

Stamp the butterfly -  from the Hello Butterfly Clear Stamp and Die Set - on white vellum with VersaMark.  Heat-emboss it with detail white powder.  Cut two butterflies from the purple Lagoon Collection 6x6.  Score and crease  the butterflies at 1/8" to the left and right of the center for extra lift.  Cut the vellum butterfly too.

Attach just the center of the vellum butterfly with a narrow strip of doublestick tape.  Layer the purple butterflies - offset and extend them beyond the vellum butterfly.

Cut the light blue/lavender Anemone Plaid with the die from the Vintage Tray 3D Embossing Folder and Cutting Die.  

Spritz both sides of pale lavender cardstock with a light mist of water and emboss it with the Vintage Tray 3D Embossing Folder.  Cut it with the coordinating die.

Attach the diecuts to a top-folded white A2 card - use foam tape for the butterfly.

Stamp the greeting - from the new With Sympathy Clear Stamps Set - on a light blue 6x6 from the Lagoon Collection - with Pearlescent Lavender Brilliance.  Dry the ink, then cut it with the short end of the largest block of the Vintage Tray die.  Trim the excess.  Attach it with foam tape.

Add purple/bronze Treasure Chest Fairy Gemstones.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Caring cards are always appreciated - especially when you've created them for the special people in your life.  Thanks for visiting our blog!
