Hey Jack!

The Great Pumpkin Die 98423, Perky Pumpkin Face Die 98421 and Great Pumpkin G1882 team up on a quick card here.  Add a touch of green with the delicate Whimsical Flourish 98373 and three Tiny Tendrils 98419.  

The Vintage Halloween Words G1802 background is stamped with the Spooktacular ColorBox inkpad then quickly clear-embossed.  That's it...done!

Everyone anticipates receiving Christmas cards - so surprise them with a Halloween card instead.  Simple cards like this one are as much fun to make as they are to receive!  Visit our website here - you'll love the great fall and Halloween stamps and dies.

Peep!

 

The months - and holidays - are flying by this year!  Here's a colorful Easter card that's quick and easy to make.  

Dancing Tulips 98295 are accented with an extra layer of glittered Tulip Petals 98317.  And the little chick?  He's our favorite Perched Reedbird 98160, diecut from bright yellow felt - then trimmed a bit for spring.  Distressed Garden Record G1848 is simply stamped with ColorBox Grasshopper Archival Dye Ink, then diecut with Index Card 98214.

I enjoy re-purposing Memory Box Dies and finding new ways to use them.  That's exactly what we'll be doing in this Saturday's Beyond the Box class at the University Village Impress.  Join us if you can - you'll be inspired by the great new samples in the store and the fresh spring products Ann has selected just for you.  U Village's lovely landscaping and spring plantings will be an added treat!

Miracles of Springtime

Celebrate the new season with pretty colors and a bit of glitter.  Combine Poppystamps' Grand Egg Die 829, Chrysanthemum Frame G1857 -  and blendable ColorBox Lilac, Heliotrope and Pistachio Pigment Inks  - to create a delicate garden egg for your spring cards.  It's great to have the option of combining coordinating products from Memory Box and Poppystamps.

The intricate Valencia Border Die 98290 and a stamped Miracles of Springtime B1766 banner add the finishing touch.  I attached a foam dot to add dimension to the center of the banner, a technique I copied from the Impress Facebook page.  I could say I was merely "inspired" by that tip - but honestly, I just copied it.
