A Frame House with Narrow Tree Trunks Stencils by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today featuring beautiful new products from the latest "Winter Days" release!

 

I used the new "Narrow Tree Trunks" 3 stencil set with these Distress Inks with an ink blending tool on stencil: 

Tea Dye, Rusty Hinge, and then "Soft Brown" ink from my stash. 

 

After removing the stencil I inked background bottom with Iced Spruce Distress Ink and the top with Salty Ocean, very, very lightly on both top and bottom.  

 

Now to add dimension to the trees I added colored pencil and white paint pen details on the stenciled area and the background.  Here's a closer look: 

 

I cut the "A Frame House" die set from white card stock, and cut the "Little Bird Bunch" from red and white card stock.  I colored the A frame edge with the same brown inks, then added Iced Spruce to the house front, direct ink pad to paper method.  I colored all the other piece with inks and colored pencils, but cut the door front from red card stock.  I also added pencil and white gel pen to the red door too.



I assembled the birds and house and added colored pencils and white paint pen to everything.  I used Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide on the wreath pieces before putting them together.  I popped up the birds and house.  Lastly I added snow details with a white paint pen, Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff (heated with heat gun) and then painted on Cosmic Shimmer Frosty Ultra Sparkle Paste with a small paint brush on the edges of the A frame. 

 

Once everything dried, I added the card to an A2 gray panel and then added that to a white card base.  Lastly I added the White Tab sentiment.

I hope you like my card for today!  The new release is big and there are so many beautiful products

Witch Upon A Star by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with another fun Halloween card using the newest 2024 Fall Cornucopia release products.  I combined them with a paper from the Gladiola release.  

I cut the Cauldron Witch die set from greens, blacks and purples and then cut and pieced everyting together.  The lighter greens are 1) the new Key Lime SH4405, and 2) Cilantro SH4407 and the lighter purple is called Lavendar Bloom SH44013.  The darker purple is from an older paper pack called Vibrant Violet SP1007.  The patterned paper background is from the Glimmering Gladiola Paper Pad PP1028.  I also used the Curved Cap Pinpoint Layers die set 99646.  Here's a closer look at my card.

The sentiment is from the Magical Halloween stamp and die set CL5284, stamped in black in and popped up with foam tape for dimension.  I love how the patterned paper sort of looks like stars to go with the sentiment!  Here's one last look:

Be sure to check out the whole new release and the last holiday one as well.  There are tons of gorgeous products to create with.

Boo to You From Our Crew by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome!  I'm featuring products from the 2024 Fall Cornucopia release.  I used the Eerie Spiders dies 94846 and the sentiment is from Magical Halloween clear stamp set CL5284.  Here's a closer look:

This clean and simple card was super easy to make and here's how I did it.

1)  cut the spiders from black card stock

2)  add them to a card front, but only adhere the spider's center part, then lift the legs upward

3)  add jewels to the spider centers

4)  stamp and heat emboss the sentiment

5)  cut the sentiment with the coordinating die

6)  pop the sentiment up on foam tape

Here's one last look:

I really love the simplicity of this card and I hope you will give it a try!

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy crafting.

Magical Halloween by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome!  It's Angie here today with a magical potion Halloween card using the new Potion Bottles die set 94847.

Here's another look:

Memory Box's latest release has brand new 8.5 by 11" colorful thick and wonderful card stocks along with dies and stamps!

I used lots of the new colors to cut my bottles from.

Here's what I used:  

Key Lime, Cilantro, Deep Turquoise, Pool Party, Lavendar Bloom, Orange Peel, Summer Squash, along with a dark purple from previously released SP1008 Twilight Purple pack

Once I cut them all out, I put them together and colored the left sides with darker shades of alcohol markers and added gel pen highlights.  Next I cut the Vintage Tray die from the 3D embossing folder/die combo EF1040 from the Key Lime and added it to a piece of white woodgrain paper.

Next I stamped the sentiment from the Magical Halloween stamp et CL5284 and after cutting it out, I framed it with another piece of Key Lime paper that I inked with green inks.  I also added white gel pen to it.

Then I added all the potion bottles in each window, some glued to woodgrain paper, some popped up on thin pop dots and some popped up on regular height pop dots.  Lastly I added the sentiment with pop dots and jewels from the Autumn Fairy Jewels JWL004  in the corners of the sentiment frame.

Here's one last look:

I hope you like my festive Halloween potion card for today.  Be sure to check out all the new goodies from the 2024 Cornucopia Release!  Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas Stencil Accents by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a quick easy clean and simple holiday card featuring the new Holly Wreath stencil and the Merry Christmas Wave die.

I love stenciling, especially with pastes, but often I don't have time to let them dry as I need a card quickly.  So this is when I will use inks and ink blending tools with the stencil.  Often the look I get with just ink is just too flat for me, so I will take colored pencils and a white gel pen to add darker colors and highlights with the white pen.

Here's another look at my card:

If you look closely you can see that I added darker greens and turqoise pencil to the leaves and green areas and then I took a red watercolor marker and colored in the berries a dark red.  Lastly I took the white pen and added highlights to the areas across from the darkest spots.   

Next I cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from white card stock and colored the background piece with the same ink I used initally on the stencil.  This die is great because you get all the separate letters too that you can use on a separate card in the future!  Lastly, I added gold jewels around the card.  Here's one last look:

I hope you like my stenciling accents and will give this technique a try.  It really helps the image pop and makes stenciling even more fun. 

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting my friends!

Happy Birthday Bees by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a cute card featuring the new Buzzing Bumblebees die set.

Here's a super close up of the bee dies:

I cut the bee pieces from both white and some watercolor panels I have left over.  I also cut the Bachyard Floral Sems 94638 from the same papaers plus from black for a shadow.  I re-cut just the top flowers from some more of the lighter yellow/orange colors and paper pieced them up top on the stems to match the bees better.  

The backgrounds are 2 pieces of woodgrain paper from Memory Box, cut with 2 sizes of the Curved Cap Pinpoint Layers die set 94646.  The white one was inked with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink and the kraft one was inked with Brushed Cordouroy Distress Ink and an ink blending tool.

After adding all the die cuts to the blue inked panel, I added it to the brown one and then popped both of those panels together on to the white card base with foam tape.

I really love using the woodgrain papers from Memory Box because with just so little inking, all that texture comes through and provides a lovely texture to your backgrounds!  Here's one last look:

I hope you like my card for today!  I had a lot of fun putting it together for today's post!  Be sure to come back every day for more inspiration from the design team.  If you are interested in the product I used, you can find more information on my blog HERE.

Believe by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a holiday card full of sparkle!  I used the brand new "Snowflake Hot Foil Plate" to create my background on a piece of red paper from the "Blush" paper pad.

Sometimes when I hot foil, I actually get a hot mess on my paper, but I have a tip for you if your end result after foiling has foil in places you don't want it!  As you can see below, some of the foiled snowflakes look pretty bad with extra foil that got stuck in places it shouldn't and then there are some that look pretty good.  The reason that some flakes look better is because once I saw it come out messy, I took my sand eraser and rubbed it over places where extra foil landed and in places I didn't want foil.  It really cleans up foiled papers that don't always turn out perfectly.  

So you can see below up close, the panel that started out with messy foiled snowflakes was saved by my sand eraser.  The reason you get overfoiling has to do with your machine's temperature setting, the brand of foil you are using and how many seconds you set the timer.  Some foils require more time/heat and others don't, so it takes some experimenting - but the sand eraser is your friend when it comes to hot foiling that is for sure!  (The foil I used is called speckle silver glimmer foil.)

I used only 3/4 of the top of the card for my red panel and added it to a piece of white woodgrain paper, then added that to a white card base.  I cut the "Drifting Snowflake" detailed die from silver glitter paper from the "Glitzy Paper Pad" and also cut 2 thin silver glitter strips to add to the left and right side of the card front.  I cut the background die from the "Drifting Snowflake" from navy cardstock from the "Lagoon Paper Pad" for the dark background to enhance the silver glitter snowflakes.

I cut the sentiment "Believe Enchanted Script" die from white for the backgound and from navy card stock for the thinner letters and then glued them together.  Once dried, I added it to the bottom of the card on the woodgrain paper.  Lastly I added some silver jewels to the glitter snowflake centers, from the "Christmas Fairy Jewels" pack.  Here is one last look:

O Christmas Tree by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, I have another card featuring the wonderful "Yuletide 2024" release and this time I am featuring the new hot foil plate and the new slender trees.

Here's a close up of the foiled background:

First I used the "Snowflake Hot Foil Plate" MBF015 on a piece of white card stock, and then cut it with the new "Fringed Scalloped Frame" die set 94842.  (The foil I used is called speckle silver.) While I had that die out, I went ahead and cut 2 more of that size from green glitter paper from the "Glitzy Glitter Pad" GP1007.  I put the white scalloped piece on top of the 2 green ones, only I offset them a bit so you could see the glitter paper on the right and left sides.  

I also cut the "Slender Pine Trees" 94796 from both the same glitter paper and from green cardstock form the "Greenery Cardstock" SP1011, then layered those slightly offset to give lots of fullness to the branches.  I heat embossed the sentiment from the new "Holiday Wishes" clear stamp  CL5286 set in white on black card stock and trimmed it with my scissors.

I added the sentiment to the white panel and then put all the scalloped panels together on a piece of "Kraft Woodgrain Paper" SH44003 that was trimmed to 5" by 3.75" and inked with some brown distess inks.  Then I added that whole thing to the front of a heavy weight card base.  Next I cut several snowflakes from the "Drifting Snowflakes" die set 94816 and added them to the card front.  Lastly I added silver and clear jewels to the snowflake centers and to the trees.  

Here's one last look:

I hope you like my card for today, it has many wonderful layers using the new products and lots of glittery shine too!

Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome!  It's Angie here today with a sparkly winter card featuring some new goodies from the latest Yultide 2024 release!

First I took a piece of dark blue card stock from my stash and added some sparkle paste through the new "Falling Snowflake" stencil.  Once it dried, I trimmed it down to 4" by 5.25" and added it to an A2 card base.

Below you can see a close up of all the blingy sparkle!

Next I stamped the sentiment from the "Holiday Wishes" stamp set, also new and then left it in the die (Curved Cap Pinpoint Layers) and inked it with light blue ink.  By leaving it in the die before inking it, you get that lovely white edge right by the dotted edge.  I added that sentiment to a "Fringed Scalloped Frames" die set cut from white woodgrain paper.  Next I added that to the sparkle background with thin pop dots for a little dimension.  

Next, I cut the "Petite Poinsettias" from dark red card stock and white card stock and put them together adding them to the top of the frame with thicker pop dots.  Lastly I added 3 jewels in the center of the poinsettias.  Here is one last look:

I hope you like my card for today!  Be sure to check out the whole new release!  Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Holiday Cookies by Angie Cimbalo

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a sweet cookie holiday card!  It features the new "Dimpled Cookies" die set.

Here's a closer look:

This card uses lots of new and older goodies:

"Spiral Delight" 3D embossing folder, "Dimpled Cookies", "Fringed Scalloped Frame" die set, along with "Stitched Circle" layers die set, "Greenery" paper pad and "White Woodgrain" paper. 

I cut the two largest frame dies from white woodgrain paper to frame my green panel.  The green panel was dry embossed with the 3D folder and then I tapped white ink on top of it lightly to accent the design so you can see it better.  I trimmed the green panel so I would fit behind the frame.

Next I cut several of each of the cookies from white card stock and colored them with markers and ink blending tools, paint pens, sprinkle sequins from my stash and Fluffy Stuff which is just like a snow marker in a bottle.  When you heat it up, it puffs up and looks like snow or frosting!  

I heat embossed the sentiment in white on black cardstock.  That sentiment is from an earlier released stamp set called "Sweet Christmas."

I hope you enjoyed my cookie card for today!  I had so much fun decorating them - and the best part, they have zero calories!

Come back each day to see more and more inspiration from the whole team!  Thanks for stopping by!
