Thank You Card
by Donna Sledzik

IMG_0372


Hello everyone!  Todays card was inspired by a card made by Laura Graff for SBC fest for scrapbook.com.  This was a free event on YouTube last Friday and is still available to watch.

I wanted to recreate her card style using products from the 2025 Peony release.



IMG_0374

I started with a white A2 card base, opened the card up and scored 1 1/4" on the right hand side of the card. (back of the card)

On the left hand side of the card (card front), I cut off 1 1/4".

Next I cut all the panels for the card.

Yellow print cardstock - 2 3/4" x 5 1/4"

Flowered Cardstock - 1" x 5 1/4"

Yellow cardstock - 2 3/4" x 5 1/4"

All the edges of the cardstock panels were inked with Distress Fossilized Amber ink and then glued in place on the card base.

I adhered double sided adhesive to a piece of white cardstock and die cut a frame 3 times using the Cherished Scalloped Frame Dies.  I put the adhesive on the back of the cardstock so all the little hearts would stay in the frame and it would look like a solid white frame.  I also die cut another frame from vellum and adhered it to the back of the frame.

All the flowers and leaves were die cut from white cardstock and inked with Distress Ink.

Flowers-Picked Raspberry and a hint of Fossilized Amber

Flower centers-Fossilized Amber

Leaves-Peeled Paint

Arrange your bouquet and glue it to the vellum on the frame.  Glue the frame to the right side of the card on the flowered cardstock panel.  This allows you to open the card to reveal your message inside.

To finish the card, I stamped the Thank You with embossing ink, gold heat embossed it and die cut it with the coordinating die.  I glued it in place on the frame and that's it!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Make a Wish

Decorate a birthday cake and create a cake plate for a special celebration.  Hi, Jean here - with a DIY design from repurposed dies that didn't expect to become a cake plate.

Cut the new Party Layer Cake from the pink and gold Glimmering Gladiola floral print.  Cut the scalloped accents from dark pink cardstock - we're using just 2 of the smaller diecuts for the top tier.  Cut 7 candles from light pink cardstock and color the wicks with a light yellow marker.

Here's where we get a little creative -  I was determined  to create a cake plate.  Cut about 3/8" of the light gold Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad 6x6 with a long edge of the 3-1/2" x 2" (approximately) Fringed Scalloped  Frame Set die.  Cut the diagonal-textured Birthday Party Hat from the reverse side of the light gold cardstock - so the diagonal scorelines aren't visible when it's used for the plate.  If the lines are still visible, place the triangle between 2 pieces of printer paper and smooth them out by the triangle through the diecut machine with the plates used for cutting.  Trim the bottom for a flat base.

Prep light pink cardstock with the embossing powder tool to eliminate stray specs of  powder. Stamp the greeting - from the Birthday Chic Clear Stamp and Die Set with VersaMark and heat-emboss  it with detail gold powder.  Trim it with the smallest Fringed Scalloped Frame die.

Attach the diecuts to a top-folded 5-1/2" square card of natural cardstock.  Punch 1/4" dots of the yellow/orange Graceful Garden Glitter Pad 6x6.  Cut a 5-1/2" square of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Just Saying Hello

The new Royal Robin stops by for a quick hello on a background of  Glimmering Gladiola and Nutmeg Spice  diecuts.   Hi, Jean here with a basic any-occasion design that can be done with an array of coordinating Memory Box 6x6 prints and plaids.

Cut the prints from the Glimmering Gladiola and Nutmeg Spice 6x6 sets with the Vintage Tray 3D Embossing Folder die.  Adhere them to a textured  white A-6 card.  

Attach adhesive label paper or a sticker sheet to tan wool-blend felt and diecut the large main section of the Royal Robin.  The paper layer stabilizes the felt and prevents adhesives from saturating it.  Cut the beak and feet section from dark orange cardstock.  Color the eye area with a black marker.  Cut the head and wing sections from Kraft Woodgrain Paper.  

Attach ScorTape to a dark orange cardstock and diecut the Hello Marker Script's solid background.  Cut the detailed top layer of the greeting from light peach cardstock.  Attach the top layer to the tape-covered background and sprinkle the exposed adhesive with detail clear embossing powder.  Tap off the excess and heat-set the greeting - the melted embossing powder adheres the layers and adds a glossy texture.

Attach the Royal Robin and greeting to the background.  Add  1/4" circles punched from the  light copper/gold Majestic Glitter Pad 6x6.  Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone celebrating today!  Here's a basic design to celebrate a special holiday,  an engagement, wedding or anniversary.  It's easy to create in an array of colors and it's a great way to actually use those papers in the stash.  Hi, Jean here after a bit of snow, and wonky internet.

Tiny registration holes on the corners of the Party Confetti Stencil Set make it easy to position the 4 stencils.  Just mark the holes with a pencil and line the stencils up as you apply each layer of ink.  The stencils are also marked with an A2 card outline for easy aligning.  

Cut a 6" square of pink cardstock and stencil it with 3 of the 4 designs in the Party Confetti  Stencil set - 2 streamers and one of the confetti.  I used a very vintage - but still great - Galaxy Gold Brilliance inkpad.  Dry the ink, then cut a section with the 2-3/4" tall Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out die.  The dies create a stitched outline and solid hearts.

Cut the dark pink and gold-embossed petal print from the Glimmering Gladiola 6x6 set and the bright gold Glitzy Glitter Pad with the same die.

Cut the 3-1/2" x  4-3/4" Wrapped Stitch Rectangle from white cardstock.

Stamp the "love" portion of the birthday love greeting from the Birthday Chic Clear Stamp and Die Set on white cardstock with Rose Bud Memento Luxe.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.

Attach everything to a white A6 card (4-1/2" x 6-1/4") - attach the center heart and greeting with foamtape.  Add 1/4" circles punched from the bright pink Graceful Garden Glitter Pad 6x6.  Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Attach adhesive label paper (or a sticker sheet) to pale aqua felt and diecut the main section of the Bird Blossoms bird.  Cut the wing and beak/head section  from a dark turquoise 6x6 in the Lagoon Collection.  Color the beak and eye areas with a dark brown or black marker.  Stamp the greeting from the Birthday Chic set on Cherry Red cardstock with Nocturne VersaFine Clair.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Cut it with the second-largest Double Stitch Happy Heart Cut Out die.  Attach the diecuts and chocolate, tie and curl the cord.  Punch and attach  three 1/4" circles from the red Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6.

Wedding Cake by Theary Chea

Hello friends, it’s Theary on the blog again. I am sharing a congratulatory card using the Party Layer Cake dies today.

I love the Birthday Wishes Release, but I wanted to stretch the supplies and use them in a different format, so I created a wedding-themed card.

MBParty layer cake 1

I cut the Party Layer craft die from a sheet of pattern paper from the Gladiola Plaid 6x6 pack. I love the foil accent from the sheet, which adds a touch of elegance to the cake.

I decorated the layered cake with flowers cut from the Lucky Blooms craft dies and a cute little bird from the Bird Blossoms craft dies.

I used a basic frame die to cut it once out of cream-colored cardstock and three out of heavy white cardstock, which I layered together. I then adhered it to a sheet of pattern paper from the Poinsettias Garland paper pad that I trimmed to 4.25 inches by 5.50 inches.

MBParty layer cake 2

I used the Congrats Marker Scripts sentiment craft dies that I die-cut from the Glossy Black Cardstock. This glossy cardstock is my absolute favorite for cutting out sentiments. I adhered to the basic frame die cut on the bottom right with liquid adhesive.

I later adhered it to a top folding card base and added a few embellishments from the Autumn Fairy Jewels.

And that is it! I hope you enjoyed this inspirational take on the Party Layer Cake. Until next time!

Have a wonderful day!

Big Birthday Wishes
by Jean Okimoto

 

P1037684 2

Celebrate the big day with the new Party Layer Cake and Happy Birthday Celebration Script from our Birthday Wishes Collection. Build a special layer cake with a  gold-embossed print from the Anemone Grove 6x6 pack.   Hi, Jean here with another idea to add to your stash of ready-to-go greetings for that special day.

MemoryBoxHappyBirthdayCelebrationScript, MemoryBoxPartyLayerCake, MemoryBoxAnemoneGrove6x6, MemoryBoxVintagePastelMirrorPad, MemoryBoxLagoon6x6, JeanOkimoto, MemoryBoxCo, MemoryBoxDies, Diecutting, CakeDiecuts, DiecutCards, WordDiecuts, Cardmaking, Cardcrafting, DiecutBirthdayCards, BirthdayDiecuts

Cut the Party Layer Cake from the Anemone Grove print.  Cut the scalloped accents from the turquoise Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad 6x6 - we're using just 2 of the 3 diecuts for the top layer.  

Cut 7 candles - from the Party Layer Cake set - from the light aqua Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad 6x6.  Color the flames with a light orange marker.

Cut the solid backgrounds of the Happy Birthday Celebration Script from heavy white cardstock.  Spritz the diecuts with a light mist of water.  Pressure-emboss them with the detailed top layers using the rubber embossing mat and plates required for your machine.   Embossing the detailed design makes it easy to attach the top layers.  The dot for the  letter "i" is connected to the "t" to save time and make life easier!

Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (4-1/2" x 6-1/4").  Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.  

Mix, match and experiment with different combinations of our 6x6 prints, mirror cardstock, 6x6 cardstock collections and 8.5x11" cardstock colors using this versatile basic design.

Cut Celebration Balloons from a turquoise 6x6 in the Glitzy Glitter Pad - cut 2 of the medium-sized balloon.  Attach them to the globe background.

P1037448

Attach an adhesive label sheet (or sticker sheet) to aqua felt to stabilize the felt and prevent adhesives from saturating it.  Cut the large Bluebird Prince base and the head overlay.  Cut the beak background and legs from a yellow-orange 6x6 in the Sunrise Collection.  Color the eye area with a black marker.  Color the legs with a tan marker.  Attach those diecuts behind the base section.

Cut the wings from a turquoise Rainbow Reflections 6x6.  Cut the crown from a gold Rainbow Reflections 6x6.  Assemble the bird.

Cut the detailed Happy Birthday Marker Script from a light blue 6x6 in the Lagoon Collection.  Attach ScorTape over a dark teal Lagoon Collection 6x6 and cut the greeting background.  Attach the detailed overlay to the background, then cover it with detail clear embossing powder.  Tap off the excess powder and heat-emboss it to adhere the pieces and create a glossy, textured greeting...in one easy step!  Save the individual letters for another project.

P1037417

Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (6.25" x 4.5") - use a double layer of foam tape behind the crownd.  Cut an A6-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Create a stash of birthday cards for the special people in your life.  Make some congratulatory cards and thank-yous with these great designs too!
