Die cut the Autumn Pumpkin and the top Happy Halloween Posh Scrip from a white paper from the Vintage Pastel Mirror pad. Die cut the bottom of the Happy Halloween Posh Scrip die from the same leaf pattern paper from the Magnolia Grove pad.  Ink blend with Distress Oxide Black shoot.  Die cut the bottom again from black card stock 2x.  Adhere the 3 layers together with the pattern paper on top.  Adhere the top die cut. 

Greenery:

Ink blend 2 pcs of white card stock with Distress Oxide.  1 with Lost Shadow and the other with Hickory Smoke.  Platter with Distress Mica Stain Iron Gate and Black Shoot.  Let Dry.  Die cut both with Layered Greenery Stems.  Adhere the 2 die cuts together using 1 each of the 2 different shades.

Embossing and stenciling are great basic papercrafting techniques. Combine them to add texture and dimension to highlight your design.  Hi, Jean here with another idea featuring the bold Fanciful Gilded Frame from our Fall '23 Collection.  The hat-wearing cat is from Poppystamps.

Spritz both sides of an A2-sized rectangle of orange cardstock with a light mist of water. Place a layer of heavy plastic between the Fanciful Gilded Frame die and the cardstock to  cushion and protect the cardstock.  A single layer of plastic from a quart- or gallon-sized Ziploc back or page protector sleeve would be great.  Pressure-emboss the design using the rubber embossing mat and plates required for your machine.  

Remove the plastic layer, then replace and attach the die to the embossed cardstock. Use the die as a stencil to apply Onyx Black or Nocturne VersaFine Clair with a sponge or blending brush.  Heat-set the ink.

Diecut the embossed design with the 4" wide Nested Globes die.  Cut the orange cardstock with the 2" wide Nested Globes die too.

Cut the ghosts - from the Ghosts in the Forest set - from the textured side of Open Studio Watercolor Paper.  Attach scraps of black cardstock behind the faces.

Cut Large Layered Witch Hat from the black Glitzy Glitter Pad sheet.  Cut the hat's vertical trim from the black Rainbow Reflections sheet.  Cut the hatband fron the chartreuse Rainbow Reflections sheet.

Glue two layers of black cardstock together for dimension and cut the new Poppystamps Whittle Purring Cat.  Attach a scrap of the orange Glitzy Glitter Pad sheet behind the nose.

Attach the diecuts to a top-folded A6 card (4-½" x 6") cut from a 12" square sheet.  Or use a side-folded A6 card cut from an 8-½"x11" sheet.  Add taupe Autumn Fairy Crystals.  Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Hope you'll try this embossing+stenciling technique to add extra dimension and details to your cards.  

Thanks for visiting...have a great weekend!

Hello everyone! Today I have a Fall themed card for you featuring new products from the new 2023 Fall Release.  

I used the "Autumn Pumpkin" as a vase for my fall foliage arrangement.  The pumpkin was die cut from orange cardstock and the foliage from green, yellow and orange cardstock.  They were all inked with coordinating Distress Inks.

The background panel was dry embossed using the new "Fanciful Glided Frame" on aqua cardstock.  I inked the edges with Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks, and  adhered the panel to an Ivory cardstock card base. 

Next, I used foam tape on the bottom portion of the pumpkin and adhered it to the background panel.  I tucked in all the foliage pieces and glued them in place. 

I spattered the background with gold ink.

The word "Hello" was gold foiled, die cut, and glued to the pumpkin.

To finish the card, I adhered some Autumn Fairy Crystals to add a little shine.

That's it for today!  Thanks for stopping by!

Here's a card you can use any time this fall.  This Pumpkin Patch features the Autumn Pumpkin 94690 multiple times and the Fanciful Gilded Frame 94660 which looks to me like a vine-y garden space.

To make this card, start with a white note card.

Add a light green plaid paper from the MAGNOLIA PLAID PP1021 6X6 paper pad cut to fit the front of the note card.

Die cut the FANCIFUL GILDED FRAME 94660 from a dark green card stock.

Add this frame to the front of the card using a glue pen.

Die cut the AUTUMN PUMPKIN 94690 three times from an orange paper and three times from a bight green paper, both in the RAINBOW REFLECTIONS MIRROR PAD PP1003.

Assemble the pumpkins, using the green stems and leaves with the orange pumpkins. 

Reorient the card so it folds at the top.

Add the three pumpkins using dimensional foam of varying thicknesses, so the one on the left is the flattest and the center one pops up more than the others.  Add any extra green leaves among the vines.

This cute card would be perfect for any fall occasion with an appropriate sentiment tucked inside.  Love these newest products from Memory Box!  Think about how you might combine the new with other Memory Box stamps, dies, stencils, and embossing folders you already have or ones that are still available to purchase from previous collections.  Try other color combinations and textures--glossy mirror paper, glitter paper, card stock, and printed papers from Memory Box.  And there are idea books on the website for even more inspiration.

Happy Crafting!

Hello and welcome!  It's Angie here today with some card inspiration for you using the newest release "Large Layered Witch Hat."  I combined it with "Ghosts in the Forest" die set and a fun Halloween sentiment, "Boo Posh Script."  Here's another look at my card.

To make the forest look thicker I cut the die twice and turned one around backwards and put it behind the 1st one.  After gluing them together, I die cut the sentiment and hat from Memory Box card stock, listed below.  For the background I used more Memory Box card stock and the "Confetti Dot Hot Foil Plate" foiled in Gemini Aurora foil.  That foil is a kind of pearly white color and looks really pretty on dark card stock.  I added the forest panels on top of the hot foiled panel.

 I tucked one of the ghosts under some branches, added the sentiment in the bottom right corner, and added the hat towards the top left.

Lastly I added some silver gems on the front, also listed below in the supply list.

I hope you like my card for today.  I had lots of fun creating it!  Be sure to come back each day for more inspiration from the design team.  If you are interested in the supplies I used, they are listed below, and there is more info on my blog HERE.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone.  I have a “spooky” Halloween card to share today featuring the Boiling Cauldron die from the current 2023 Fall release. 

If the cauldron looks a bit different from its original design, it’s because I took creative licence and turned the bubbling steam into drips.  The cauldron was die cut from dark grey cardstock and ink blended with Black Soot distress ink (DI) using a blender brush.  The bubbles/drip and Twiggy Alphabet letters were die cut from light green cardstock, and shaded with Twisted Citron DI.  The ghosts were die cut from white cardstock and shading/glow added to them with Copic Sketch markers YG21/23.

The broom was created from sand color cardstock.  Trimmed and stacked together two-1/8” wide strips for the handle, then sandwiched it between two broom brush heads from the Flying Witch die.  Added details/texture to it with Copic Sketch markers E30/31/33/35.  The background panel is the same light green color cardstock and was spotlight ink blended with Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness and Black Soot DI’s.  Assembled the card onto a split black/white card base, then added highlights with a white gel pen to finish.

That does it for my card.  Thank you for joining me today.

Improvise...and build a shimmery butterfly with offcuts from the new Fanciful Gilded Frame.  The heart-shaped pieces from the top and bottom centers create a simple design to match the pressure-embossed background.  Hi, Jean here with a fast-Friday design for you.

Spritz both sides of textured light turquoise cardstock with a light mist of water.  Pressure-emboss the textured side with Fanciful Gilded Frame.  Dry the cardstock with a heat-tool if it's still damp.  Cut it with the 4-¼" x 5-½" Rectangle Basics die.  Attach it to a top-folded textured light turquoise A2 card.

Cut the top and bottom heart-shaped designs from the turquoise Rainbow Reflections 6x6. Cut the smoother side of light turquoise cardstock with the 2" x 3-¼" Rectangle Basics die.

Cut two matching Intricate Mini Butterflies from the gold Rainbow Reflections 6x6.

Cut the larger center section of the butterfly with the Birch Press Design Butterfly Basics die and the Rainbow Reflections gold 6x6.

Attach the rectangle and butterflies to the Fanciful Gilded Frame background.  Add turquoise Bright Jewels.

Hello everyone!  Today I have a Halloween card for you which features new products from the 2023 Fall Release.

I started by creating an ink blended background using Distress Oxide Inks.  Once I was happy with the blend, I spattered it with plain water to add some texture to the background.  Next, I stamped the greeting with black ink on the bottom portion of the background.

I used foam tape to adhere the background to a white card base.

Next, I die cut the Layered Witch Hat from black, gray and white cardstock.  I inked the edge of the gray shadow die cut with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink, and the hat band with Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink, then glued them to the black witch hat.

The ghosts were die cut from white cardstock and glued to the card.  I used foam tape to adhere the witch hat over the ghosts.

That's it for today!
