Just Saying by Trina Pham

Hello everyone.  And happy Easter to those who celebrate.  No Easter card, but I have an all-occasion floral card featuring products from the 2025 Peony collection to share today  

_{All pieces, except the back layer behind the frame and stamens, were die cut from Bristol paper.  That back layer was die cut from white woodgrain paper and the stamens from white glitter paper.  Simple ink blending with lilac, Aqua and grey dye injs was then done to color the peonies, stems and leaves, respectively.} 

The Bubble Dots background panel was adhered directly onto the white card base after ink blending the aqua dye ink onto it.  Wanted some color to show through the holes.  The frame was die cut twice to stack for dimension using the Cherish Scallop Frames and Rectangle Basics dies.  Stamped the sentiment from Hello Butterfly with Versafine Onyx Black ink directly onto the white woodgrain piece.  Assembled the card then added a few clear jewels to finish.

That does it from me. Thank you for joining me today.  Have a wonderful week.

Floral Springtime Greetings by Jean Okimoto

Celebrate Easter and spring with layering dies from our 2025 Peony Collection.  Cheery  Happy Easter and Gentle Peony Bloom work perfectly with a floral garden print from the Anemone Grove 6x6 set.  Hi, Jean here with a design that also works for birthdays, thank-you's and Mother's Day with just a change of greetings.

Cut the new Gentle Peony Bloom from pale peach cardstock and a 6x6 from the Greenery collection.  Cut the stamens from the lemon-yellow Graceful Garden 6x6.

Cut the dark green, peach and white floral print from the Anemone Grove 6x6 set with the 2-5/8" wide Fringed Scalloped  Frame Set die.

Attach Scor-Tape over a piece of the Greenery 6x6 used for the leaves and cut the solid background from the Cheery Happy Easter set.  Cut the detailed top layer from  lemon-yellow cardstock.  Attach the detailed layer to the background.  Cover the exposed adhesive with detail clear embossing powder, then tap off the excess.  Heat-emboss it.  It's a timesaving way to assemble the greeting and add a glossy background.

Attach the diecuts to a top-folded Key Lime cardstock A2 card - use foam dots for the greeting, leaf tips and the top petals. Cut  an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Let your Memory Box dies, 6x6 prints and cardstock do the work for you!  Make several of these cards with different prints and colors. Have them ready for when you need a quick card - and have just enough time to add the right greeting.

Thanks for visiting our blog.  Make a stash of ready-to-go cards,  and have a great weekend!

Spring Birthday Greetings by Jean Okimoto

Celebrate a spring birthday with floral greetings in a mix of purple, lavender, violet and gray.  Rounded corners echo the Fringed Scalloped Frame and poufy Tender Peony Bud.  Hi, Jean here with another design from our 2025 Peony Collection.

Cut Tender Peony Bud from the violet Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad 6x6 and dark gray cardstock.  Cut the second-smallest Fringed Scalloped Frame from the Lavender Bloom Paper Pack 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock.  

Cut a 5" x 3/4" strip of the violet and gold Glimmering Gladiola leaf print.  Trim it with a corner rounding punch.

 

Cut an 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of white cardstock.  Score it at 2-1/2" and 6-3/4" to create a gatefold A2 card.  Round the corners.  Attach the diecuts - let 3 of the leaf tips extend over the cut edge.  Add a Happy Birthday Foil Greetings White Circle Tab.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Mixing, matching and layering Memory Box's coordinating designs and colors makes it easy to create cards for any occasion - and anyone.  Let your supplies do the work for you!

Happy Easter by Trina Pham

Hello everyone.   I’m baaack 😂, and I have a CAS (clean and simple) Easter card featuring fabulous products from the current 2025 Peony release.   

Most of the image pieces were die cut from white; the bunny wasL die cut from light gray cardstock as well.  All were ink blended with distress inks (DI) for shading and dimension  

DI used:

branch - Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn

buds - Brushed Corduroy added at the base

bunny - Lost Shadow, Picked Raspberry for earl/tummy

 

The sentiment was die cut from pink cardstock and Picked Raspberry DI was applied to the bottoms for an ombré look.  Looks like I was a bit heavy handed and looks red…oops 😆  Next, the largest Cherish Heart was die cut from white woodgrain paper twice with the woodgrain running horizontally and stacked them for dimension.  Arranged and adhered tge elements into an A2 size white woodgrain panel with the woodgrain running vertical then mounted it onto a white card base to finish.   

That wraps it up for me this weekend.  Hope you have a wonderful week.

Blue Peonies Hello by Trina Pham

Hello everyone.  Memory Box did it again, releasing another beautiful floral collection - the 2025 Peony Collection.  And in my favorite color blue, these peonies are gorgeous! 😉 

 

All floral and foliage layers were die cut from white paper.  The Graceful and Elegant Peony Blossoms layers were ink blended with Stormy Sky and Faded Jeans distress inks (DI).  The leaves from Peony Bud Trio were colored with Copic Sketch markers YG06/07/09 and BG07.  The stamens were die cut from white glitter paper.

The Cherish Scallop Frame piece was die cut from white woodgrain paper and andhered onto an A2 size Blueberry Mist panel.  Stamped the sentiment from Hello Butterfly with Versafine Onyx Black ink then heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder for more sparkle.  Die cut it out with the matching die and mounted it onto two more white die cut layers for dimension.  Assembled the card onto a white card base and added clear shimmer to the flowers to finish. 

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

Spring Garden Greetings by Jean Okimoto

Spring has finally arrived - leaves and buds are appearing and days are getting longer.  Give the garden a headstart with the new Crocosmia Stems from our latest release.  Hi, Jean here with an Easter design for the new season.

Cut the blossoms and buds from the Crocosmia Stems set - and an extra blossom - from a Raspberry Sorbet Paper Pack sheet.   Cut the centers from the green Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad 6x6.  Cut the leaves from a medium-green Greenery 6x6.

Cut the green plaid - from the Fuchsia Plaid 6x6 - with the largest die from the Half a Dozen Eggs set.  Cut a light green 6x6 from the Greenery 6x6 with the second-largest egg die.

Attach ScorTape to the light green Greenery 6x6 and cut it - tape-side-up - with the background die from the Cheery Happy Easter set.  Cut the detailed top layer of the greeting from the  medium-green 6x6.  Save the outline diecut for another project - and carefully attach the words to the adhesive-covered background.  Cover it with detail clear embossing powder, tap off the excess and heat-emboss it.  It'll be glossy and securely adhered.

Cut the light green 6x6 with the largest Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die and attach it to a top-folded white A2 card.  

Attach the diecuts - use foam tape for the greeting.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Hidden Heart Blossom by Jean Okimoto

Frame the new Gentle Peony Bloom with 2 of the new Cherish Hearts and create an all-occasion card for your stash of ready-to-go greetings.  Hi, Jean here with an offset hidden-heart design for you today.

 

Cut Gentle Peony Bloom from the violet and yellow-green Rainbow Reflections 6x6's. Follow the floral layering guide on the reverse side of the envelope - or create your own unique blossom.  Assemble the blossom - use narrow foam tape strips along the outer edges of the center-top layers.  Cut the leaves from dark gray cardstock.

Cut the largest Cherish Heart from  Lavender Bloom cardstock.  Cut it with the middle-sized Cherish Heart.  Tuck and attach the left edge of the smaller heart behind the larger heart.  The open space on the right side divides the lavender and reveals the contrasting background.

Cut a 1-5/8" x 4-3/8" strip of ink-blended watercolor paper.  Spray it lightly with Imagine's Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz.  Heat-set the ink.

Attach everything to a top-folded Fresh Aqua A2 card.  Attach turquoise Christmas Fairy Dewdrops.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Hope you like this color combo - and that partially-hidden heart!

Regal Bird-thday Card by Trina Pham

Hello everyone.  I have a simple masculine birthday card to share today featuring the Regal Bird die from the 2025 Birthday Wishes collection.  I adore the crown that comes with each bird die in this collection! 👑 

 

The bird and foliage were die cut from white paper.  Ink blending with distress inks (DI) was done to color the bird layers, while the foliage pieces were colored with Copic Sketch markers.  The crown was die cut from gold mirror and gold glitter papers.  

 

DI used: 

Brushed Corduroy, Lost Shadow, Black Soot 

Copic markers used: 

greens - YG03/07, BG07 

browns - E23/25/29 

The three nest layers were die cut from brown gradient color cardstock.  Used the Happy Birthday Background Plate to die cut from Bristol paper.  Removed all the sentiments (saved them to use later), then adhered the negative cut panel directly onto a white card base.  This gives a faux letterpress effect.  Next, the music notes were die cut from black glossy paper.  Assembled the card to finish.

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

Build a Bouquet – Fringe Flowers & Lucky Blooms by Jean Okimoto

Celebrate with a bouquet of Fringe Flowers and Lucky Blooms from our latest release!  Mix, match and layer versatile design elements and create birthday, thank you, friendship and congrats cards with the new Birthday Wishes Collection.  Hi, Jean here with a bright-on-white slimline design.

The flowers are "extras" from my previous card - and some tiny pink Delicate Pastel Glitter Pad diecuts for extra sparkle.  They're cut from 6x6's in the Blush Collection.  

The centers are cut from green 6x6's in the Festive Glitter Pad and Greenery Collection.  Cut Lavender Bouquet from a Greenery 6x6 for the foliage and stems.

Cut the 1.5" wide Wrapped Stitched Slim Rectangle from white cardstock.

Attach ScorTape above a strip of the dark coral Blush 6x6 and cut it with the background of the Congrats Marker Script die.  Cut the detailed top layer from white cardstock.  Save the individual letters for another project.  Attach the detailed layer to the adhesive-covered background - slightly offset for a shadow effect.   Cover the exposed adhesive with Imagine's Irirdescent Embossing Powder.  Tap off the excess powder, then heat-emboss the greeting.  It'll be glittery and securely attached in one easy step!

Attach the diecuts to a white slimline card (3-1/2" x 8-1/2") - attach the greeting with foamtape.  Cut a slimline-sized piece of cardstock to protect the cardfront for mailing.

Pick the recipient's favorite colors and build a custom bouquet.  Or diecut a bunch of Lucky Blooms and Fringe Flowers, assemble them.  They'll be ready when you need a quick card or tag.
