Magnolia Hugs by Angie Cimbalo

 

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today.   I have a  card today that features some products from the newest Memory Box release.   

 

Here's another look:

 

The background is a paper from the new Magnolia Grove PP1022 Paper Pack and the die cut rectangle is cut from gold mirror card stock from the Rainbow Reflections Mirror Paper Pack FP1003.

 

The top flower is the top one cut from the 94720 Magnolia Blossom Trio craft die, and the one on the left is from the 94717 Magnolia Floral Stem craft die.  The flower on the right is cut with the 94716 Magnolia Blooming Bud craft die.  The right and left flowers were cut twice and stacked and the one on the top was a single die cut popped up at the top only.  The were colored with Distress Ink and ink daubers then topped off with Wink of Stella.

 

The sentiment is from CL5272 Signature Greetings stamp and die set, heat embossed on black card stock in white.  Here's one last look:

Birthday Card with Marvelous Magnolia 3D Embossing Folder by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a clean and simple birthday card featuring the new Marvelous Magnolia 3D embossing folder and coordinating die set.  For my card I only used the embossing folder and not the dies.

Here's a closer look at my card:

To make my card I took dotted rectangle die and cut it from thick white card stock and then I put it in the embossing folder and ran it through my Platinum 6 machine.  Next on the debossed side, I added Distress Oxide Spun Sugar ink directly to the paper.  That left the flower petals and the leaves white so to add color to the leaves I used a Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen with smooshed in from my mini Distress Oxide Evergreen Bough ink pad.  I smooshed it on my glass mat and picked up the ink with the sparkle brush to add it to the debossed leaves.  Here's another look:

The sentiment is from the "Signature Greetings" stamp and die set (CL5272), heat embossed in white on black card stock.

Here's one last look:

I love the way this turned out, very simple and elegant and the pink and green combination with the pop of black and white go together so nicely.  Hope you like my card for today!

Sympathy Slimline Card featuring Magnolia Rub-Ons by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a slimline sympathy card made with the brand new "Magnolia Rub-ons!"

Here's a closer look at my card:

These rub-ons are amazing and beautiful, plus so easy to use.  I cut a card base 8" by 3.75" and rounded 3 of the corners with my corner rounder.  Then I pick flowers and leaves off the rub-on sheet and randomly added them to the card front.  It was so fast and easy and it looks amazing in real life!  They go on very easily, rubbing with your finger or the popsicle stick included in the package. 

The sentiment from "Big & Little Words" stamp set was heat embossed in white on black card stock and cut into a banner.  I popped it up on foam tape and added it to the top part of the card.  Here's one last look:

This was probably the fastest card I've ever made and it looks so pretty.  If you've never used rub-ons, give these a try and even if you have used the in the past, I bet the didn't go on as easily as these do.  In a matter of seconds you have a gorgeous floral card with very little time and effort!  

I hope you will stop by each day for more inspiration from the design team!  Be sure to check out the new release HERE.  And if you are interested in any of the supplies I used, you can find them listed on my blog HERE.

Magnolia Blooms 3D Embossing Folder & Dies by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a sympathy card featuring a brand newly released 3D embossing folder and die set called "Magnolia Blooms."  Here's a closer look at my card:

I embossed 4 thick pieces of white card stock with the 3D embossing folder.  Next on one of them, I ran over the top of it with a Distress Oxide Spun Sugar ink pad, directly to the paper.  Below you can see that I also die cut out the 2 flowers with the coordinating dies from the other 3 embossed panels and stacked them on top of each other, then adhered them to the main panel with foam tape.

Below you can see the two white stacked flowers on top of the main embossed pink panel.  I really like the way it looked so I fussy cut the other partial flowers and stacked them too, and adhered them to the pink panel.

 

Next as you can see below, I took 3 colors of Distress Oxide ink and a pencil type blending brush to add color to the flower centers.  

I trimmed down the main panel and added it to an A2 size (4.25" by 5.5") black piece of card stock, then added that to a white card base.  

The sentiment from "Big & Little Words" stamp set was heat embossed in white on black card stock.

Here's one last look at my card:

I hope you enjoyed my card for today.  The new Magnolia release is just stunning, filled with so many beautiful dies, papers, embossing folders, and some brand new rub on transfers too!  Be sure to check it out HERE.   If you are interested in purchasing any of these supplies, please visit my blog HERE.

Two Cards- Freshwater Fish & Confetti Dot Hot Foil Plate by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with two cards featuring new products from the latest release.  

My first card is a slimline card using two fish from the combination "Freshwater Fish" stencil and embossing folder set.  The background for my card was ink blended with lots of blues.  Once it dried, I ran it through my hot foil machine using the "Confetti Dot" hot foil plate and some gold foil.  Here's a closer look:

I colored the fish with Distress Inks and watercolor markers and then fussy cut them out.  Next I splashed some water on the background to make more dots on it.  I added the two fish and then a sentiment from "You Anchor Me" stamp set.  It was stamped in brown ink on a stitched rectangle die.  Lastly I added water droplets from Memory Box and added the blue panel to a slimline size card base.  Here's one last look:

Now, here's a look at my second card:

I made this card the same way except I used very little ink on the background and I used Memory Box watercolor card stock.

Here's a closer look at this card.  You can see I heat embossed the sentiment on black card stock with white embossing powder.

And here's one last look at my card:

Plumed Gypsy Feather and Hugs Dies by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome!  It's Angie here today with a mini slimline card featuring the new Plumed Gypsy Feather die and the Hugs die.  Here's a closer look at my card:

I cut the feather several times from white and black card stock and also from a watercolor panel that I had smooshed with Distress Inks.  If you look above at the bottom feather you can really see the texture of the watercolor paper!

Next I paper pieced different black and colored pieced into two stacked white feathers.  Then I arranged one on the top of my mini slimline card base and cut off excess.  I used the left over pieces to add to the bottom of the card.  

For the sentiment I layered a strip of watercolored paper on top of a black strip, then added the sentiment.  The sentiment was layered.   The bottom shadow die cut 2 from black and one from watercolor panel.  To get the black shadow effect glue the 3 dies together but offset the black ones (one on the top, one on the bottom.)  Then add the white "hugs" die on top and add it over the strips on the front of the card.

Here's one last look at my card:

I hope you like my card for today.  I really love the new dies especially the feather.  You can create such lovely cards with it!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Two Cards With Alcohol Inks and New Dies by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome!  It's Angie here today with 2 cards featuring new dies from the last release plus some alcohol inks!

I love working with alcohol inks and then die cutting from the resulting panels.  You never know how they will turn out and so it's truly an experiment in color every time!  For my first card I use the Curved Cap Pinpoint Layers die set, all of them to create a shaped card.  

First I cut all of the layers at once from white and then next I took the largest die and cut it from a folded card base, but left the top edge of the die hanging over the top so it wouldn't cut through.  That created the shape card base and all I had to do was add the set of dies I first cut right on top of the card base.  Next, I cut the smaller die in the center from alcohol ink panel (that was splattered with white paint) and heat embossed the sentiment from the Joyful Moments stamp set right in the center with white embossing powder.  I also cut the Scribble Daisy from the same panel and left it all in one piece to add to my card.  Lastly I added gold jewels from the Christmas Fairy Jewels package.  Here's a closer look:

Here's a look at card #2:

To create my 2nd card I did the same things except I cut the set of Curved dies from black and white and pieced them together, same look, 2 colors.  And instead of using the flower I used the Plumed Gypsy Butterfly die.  This time I used the sentiment new die called "Hello Rush Script" and I added the same gold jewels.

 

Here's a closer look:

 

And here's one last look at both cards:

I hope you like my cards for today!  I enjoyed creating them and I hope I inspired you to pull out your alcohol inks and dies and make some pretty cards!!!

Backyard Floral Stems & Fence Picket Dies + Video by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a mini slimline "Hello" card featuring the new Backyard Floral Stems and the Woodgrain Fence Pickets dies.  Here's a look at those dies below along with a short video showing how I made my card:

 

In the video you will see how I color the die-cuts with markers and colored pencils to get a fun realistic rustic look on them.  I also used some Distress Inks with pencil type blending brushes.  Putting the card together was so much fun!  I made the fence by using the pickets vertically and horizontally by cutting off the tops.  Here's a couple more pictures of my card:

I also share a tip for getting really clean white embossing on black card stock.  I prefer to use black alcohol ink card stock because it's such a dark solid black.  It's a little more expensive than just regular black card stock but it really holds up to the heat and the reaction the white embossing powder has on the paper, is always clean and bright white.

Here's a closer look:

I had so much fun making this card and video for you today.

Collage Die Encouragement Card by Angie Cimbalo

Hello it's Angie here today with a encouragement card featuring the new stackable collage dies released in February.  My card features these collage dies:

94628 Distant Sun Collage

94627 Cloudy Moon Collage

94626 Cloudy Sun Collage

 

I inked the edges around the clouds and after putting them together added them to a piece of mirror card stock.

 

The sentiment is from Cl5276 Friends and Family stamp set and mirror paper for the mat is from the FP1103 Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad.  I also used the new 94672 A2 Rectangle Frames dies to cut all the rectangles for my card.

 

The background night sky was made with alcohol inks, including some gold metallic alcohol ink.  The sentiment from the stamp set was heat embossed on the front panel of the card.  Here's a closer look:

 

 

Memory Box has lots of Collage dies like these that are really fun to put together, but you can also use them separately which makes them very versatile.

Hello with Scribble Daisy by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome!  It's Angie here today with a pretty spring hello card featuring new dies from the February release.

 

I used both the Hello Rush Script die 94468, the Scribble Daisy die 94617, along with the new A2 Rectangle Frames dies 94672.  The background was made with the Geometric Crystals 3D Embossing Folder EF 1016.  

 

I embossed some cream colored thick watercolor paper with the folder and then inked the edges with light pink.  I also used that same watercolor paper smooshed with green and pink inks, and both white and black card stock to cut the sentiment and the daisy from.  Next I stacked them offset from each other for dimension.  I matted the embossed panel on a slightly larger black panel then added it all to the card base.  I finished my card with some Memory Box Pastel Jewels and Wink of Stella on the flower petals and the hello die.

 

The inks I used to smoosh with were Distress Inks in Saltwater Taffy, Twisted Citron.  I added a little  Walnut Stain to the bottom of the hello smooshed die with a domed ink blender.

 

Here's a closer look:

 

I hope you like my card for today.  I really love the soft colors and the puffy dimension look from the 3D embossing folder.  Please come back every day to see more inspiration from the design team.
