Backpaint a Vellum Scribble Daisy by Jean Okimoto

Here's a floral card with a technique that's fast, forgiving and foolproof!  The new Scribble Daisy is perfect for reverse-painting on vellum.  It's faster than paper-piecing, forgivingly painted on the backside and simply foolproof.  Hi, Jean here with a spring-into-summer design that would work in any color combination, for any occasion.

Cut medium-weight vellum with the 3-¼" wide Curved Cap Pinpoint Layer.  Cut the pale lavender 6x6 from the Twilight Purple Collection with the 2-¼" wide Curved Cap Pinpoint Layer.

Prep the Scribble Daisy die by rubbing it briskly with scrunched waxed paper to help release the little pieces.  Cut the daisy from Open Studio Watercolor Paper.  We won't be watercoloring it - but it's the perfect heavy weight for a bold outline. Attach tiny pieces of doublestick tape behind the top center - it'll be filled in with diecut yellow glittered cardstock.  Attach more tape to the flower's center, the leaf tips and where the stem meets the leaves.

Flip it over to the reverse side and place it on a dark background (not purple or green!) - to make it easy to see and control the painted colors.  Paint the backside using diluted dye inks - Imagine's Pansy and Spring Green were used here, about 1 part of ink to 10 parts of water. Undiluted Distress Oxide refill inks can also be used.  Test the inks on scraps of the same vellum to see how they'll look.

Set it aside to airdry completely - heat-setting might warp or burn the vellum.

Cut the tiny pieces for the center of the flower from the light yellow 6x6 in the Graceful Garden Glitter Pad.  Attach them to the vellum background. Attach the vellum to the smaller Curved Cap Pinpoint Layer - narrow strips of ScorTape (or Couture Doublestick Tape) won't show through the painted areas.   Attach everything to a lavender notecard.

Cut the Hugs Tender Script background from green cardsstock.  Spritz both sides of it with a light mist of water to prep it for pressure-embossing. Pressure-emboss it with the detailed script background to make it easy to attach the top layer.  Cut the top layer from a green 6x6 in the Graceful Garden Glitter Pad.

A Feathery View
by Trina Pham

81780868-651A-499F-A9E9-9C8D1A7263E7

Hello everyone.  Using dies from the current 2023 February release, I created this thank you card.  To be honest I set out to do something else, but this resulted instead. 😂

Once again, I saw several watercoloring/painting reels on Instagram (IG) and wanted to give it a try.  Started by adding blobs of gouache paints on the smooth side of Memory Box’s watercolor paper in the order of the desired colors.

B0B6162A-8182-44AD-B5F8-76A8DF6CDE0B

Using flat watercolor brushes and as little water as possible, created a background wash.

505B0613-D781-435A-80F1-E7116D97FD14

Took a small round brush and black gouache paint and painted in the land mass.  Lightly splattered with diluted white gouache paint for the stars.  Also used white gouache paint to paint the moo and reflection in the water.

BBB2D93E-60CE-4634-996A-DBAD3BAD3F30

The artists in the IG reels painted in their own silhouettes.  I didn’t want to take the chance of ruining my progress, so I die cut my silhouettes from black cardstock using the Backyard Floral Stems die.

83F472AF-C54E-4BDA-8DDE-5F9C86489869

The Plumed Gypsy Feather background die was then used to die cut the feather aperture from an A2 size Bristol panel.  The detailed top layer was also die cut from Bristol and mounted onto the back cutout layer.  Die cut the Tilted Thanks sentiment 3x to stack for dimension, then assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.  

599306FC-7E8D-40ED-A898-35F68A63F1CF

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

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.  
 
Thanks for stopping by!

The new Plumed Gypsy Feather is both bold and delicate - and perfect for any occasion.  It's just one of many beautiful and versatile designs in our Spring '23 Collection.  Hi, Jean here with a simple pastel design ready to welcome spring.

Cut the delicate overlay of the Plumed Gypsy Feather from heavy white cardstock.  Here's a tip - use the diecut as a template to find just the right section from a pale, watercolored background painted onto the smoother side of Open Studio Watercolor Paper.    Cut the background with the solid die.  This great set also includes a junior Plumed Gypsy Feather - I'm saving that for another project.

Tape two layers of white cardstock together and cut the new Hugs Tender Script background.  Pressure-emboss it with the overlay to create a debossed impression of the greeting to attach the overlay.  Cut the overlay from the pale blue Delicate Pastels Glitter Pad 6x6 sheet.  

Assemble the feather and the greeting.  Attach the diecuts to a pale aqua card - use foamdots for the greeting.  Add matching Pastel Fairy Jewels.

Floral Wish Card
by Sara Cook

Hi everyone.  I have a birthday card featuring the new Backyard Floral Stems die.  I also using the new Curlicue Plate as a stencil.

63151741-FE73-4BB8-AF8E-6C716818D73A

Background:

Die cut the Curlicue Plate from the Black Glossy paper to create a stencil.  The glossy paper is best to use as a stencil as it wipes up and die cuts easily.  Stencil a piece of Open Studio Watercolor paper using stencil brushes on the following Element ink pad Pine, Mermaid, and Blue Lagoon.  Ink blend the colors randomly, overlapping the colors.  Remove the stencil and lightly ink blend with just the color left on the brushes until the paper is all covered up.  Spritz the left over ink on your crafting surface with water and smoosh the color onto the paper.  Let dry.  Cut down to 4" x 5 1/4".

Flowers:

Die cut the Backyard Floral Stems die from Open Studio Watercolor paper.  Color using pastel color pencils.  I used Van Gogh pencils in greens, yellow, pink, purple and white.  Pastel color pencils are easy to blend together as you color.  Using your finger to smudge the color together also works.

60B33D3E-357D-4A03-977F-07B532BD19E0

Sentiment:

Die cut the new Best Wishes Tender Script bottom die from cream card stock.  Die cut the top from a matching aqua color from the Fresh Aqua paper pad. Adhere together.  Use a clear glitter paint pen to add glitter to the top of the sentiment.  I have Nuvo's Glitter Gloss Aqua Shimmer pen.

Assembly:

Adhere the background panel to a A2 cream card base.  Tare vellum to just be smaller then the size of the flowers.  Adhere the flowers on the vellum.  Add tiny dots of glue to just behind the flowers so it does not show through and adhere to the background.  Adhere the sentiment to the lower portion of the flowers, showing the lower half of the stems.  Add some Pastel Fairy Jewels in matching color around the flowers.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone celebrating today!

Brighten this winter day with the fresh new designs from Memory Box!  You'll love our latest collection - including florals, foliage, feathers, greetings, layering collages, seashells, shop tools and fishes -  and a beautiful Curlicue Plate.  There are so many great designs - we can't wait to share our ideas with you!  

Hi, Jean here with one of my new favorites - Backyard Floral Stems.  It can be a leafy background just in shades of green - or add bright pops of color for little blossoms and buds.  Snip and arrange some stems as fillers for bouquets or vases.  Add a bunny and pastel eggs for Easter.  Diecut black cardstock for a spooky Halloween scene.

To create a subtle white-on-white background - tape two pieces of white cardstock together, then cut the doubled layers with the 2-¾" wide Curved Cap Pinpoint Layers die.  Run it through the machine twice to highlight the pinpoint pattern.

Paint the smoother side of Open Studio Watercolor Paper with diluted layers of abandoned coral, dried marigold and wild honey Distress Oxides.  Dry the inks, then spritz it with Imagine's Gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz and heat-set it.  Cut it with the Plumed Gypsy Butterfly background.  Cut the detailed butterfly layer from heavy white cardstock.

Prep Background Floral Stems by rubbing it briskly with scrunched waxed paper to help release the delicate pieces.  Cut it from the smoother side of Open Studio Watercolor Paper.  Leave the delicate diecut in the offcut and paint it with mowed lawn and abandoned coral Distress Oxides.  It's easier to paint it that way - especially the stems.  Gently heat-set the inks, then remove it from the offcut.

Cut Hello Rush Script from a green glittered 6x6 in the Graceful Garden Glitter Pad.

Attach the diecuts to a white A6 card (4-½" x 6-¼") - use foam tape for "h" in "hello" and the left edge of the butterfly.  Add pale gold Pastel Fairy Jewels.

Hope your favorite Retailer has ordered our latest release - you'll love the designs!  View the catalog of the newest Memory Box, Poppystamps and Birch Press Designs products.

Glitter Card, Hot Foil and Watercolor Cards
by Angie Cimbalo



Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with two Valentine's Day cards made with dies, watercolor card, glitter paper and a little hot foiling.  Here's a closer look at card number 1:



I took a watercolored panel and the "Blissful Heart" hot foil plate (MBF014) and foiled it directly onto the watercolor panel.  Next I cut the heart out of it to use on my 2nd card.  For this first card I used another section of the watercolored panel for my card background, then added a white glitter card stock heart, cut with the "Double Stitch Loving Heart Cut Out" (94359) and added "Sending Love Daily Script" sentiment die (94661) cut from light purple glitter paper from Delicate Pastel Glitter pad and white card stock.  I arranged the heart and sentiment at an angle on the watercolored panel.  Then added it all to a white card base and added a light purple heart cut with a smaller die from the same heart set.

 
Okay, on to card number 2.  I used the left over piece of white glitter paper (love those double stitch heart lines) and inserted the foiled heart.  I love the way the heart looks when foiled with gold foil with my Gemini Foil Press machine on watercolor card. Here's a closer look at the heart:

 
The sentiment was cut from light purple glitter paper and white glitter paper.

 
Here's another look:

 
And here's one last look at my 2nd card:



I hope you like my sparkly cards for today.  I think foiling and glitter paper go well together, what do you think?  I also hope I have inspired you to create some sparkly Valentine's Day card.
 
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs and Kisses
by Donna Sledzik

IMG_3779 (1)

Hello everyone!  I have another Valentine's Day card for you featuring products from the 2023 Valentine's Day release.

IMG_3782 (1)

I did a faux letterpress technique using the Blissful Heart Hot Foil die.  This is a good example of using dies other than what they were intended for.

To do this technique I used a brayer to apply Red Archival ink to the die and placed a piece of watercolor paper on top of the die.  Next, I ran this through my die cutting machine following the instructions for embossing.

 

IMG_3756 (1)

I used one of the hearts from the Double Stitch Loving Heart die set to die cut the letterpress heart.  

I die cut the Pinpoint Leaf Plate on a white cardstock panel and adhered it to a red cardstock mat.  This was glued to a white note card.

To create the strip behind the heart, I applied double stick to a white cardstock strip of paper and glued strips of cardstock to it.  This is a great way to use scraps of cardstock.  I glued this to the center of the card and used foam tape to adhere the letterpress heart to the card.

Next, I white heat embossed the words Hugs and Kisses to a strip of black cardstock and used foam tape to adhere it to the center of the heart.

IMG_3781 (1)

To finish the card I added some Clear Fairy Drops and that's it!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Foil Plate Embossing with the Blissful Heart by Jean Okimoto

Add a glossy pressure-and heat-embossed Blissful Heart to your Valentines with the new hot foil plate.  It's a quick and easy way to highlight the beautiful details of this versatile die - without foil, for a different look.  Hello, Jean Okimoto here with a fresh pink greeting for a coffee-lover.

Spray 2 light spritzes of water onto each side of textured pink cardstock.  It softens the cardstock and preps it for pressure embossing.  Place the Blissful Heart Hot Foil Plate face-down onto the textured side of the moist cardstock.  Pressure-emboss it using the rubber embossing mat and plates required for your machine.

Briefly heat-set the cardstock if it's still damp, then let it cool.  Place it on a hard, flat surface and brayer it with VersaMark - use a clean, juicy inkpad.  Heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  

Let it cool, then trim it asymmetrically with the second-largest Double Stitch Loving Heart Cut Out die.

Prep the detailed Cuppa Love die by rubbing it briskly with scrunched waxed paper to help release the little pieces.  Cut it from the smoother side of Open Studio Watercolor Paper.  Cut the side of the cup from the textured pink cardstock.  Cut the coffee oval from dark brown cardstock.  Cut the interior of the heart from a pink sheet in the Graceful Garden Glitter Pad.  

Prep the Sending Love Posh Script die with waxed paper and diecut it from a white glittered sheet in the Delicate Pastels Glitter Pad - leave the tiny dot for the "i" in the die until you need it.

Attach the diecuts to a side-folded recycled Kraft A2 card.

Memory Box Hot Foil Plates create beautifully foiled detailed images.  They're also great with just basic pressure embossing for a subtle monochromatic look.  Or follow this technique for glossy, highlighted designs.  

Thanks for visiting - have a great weekend!

Bear Hugs for You by Jean Okimoto

The Layered Polar Bear - from our Christmas release - makes a great addition to Valentine cards too.  Cut this very popular guy from soft white felt and

Open Studio Watercolor Paper for plush texture and contrasting shades of white.

Hi, Jean Okimoto here with my favorite design from our holiday release.  Pair the friendly bear with the Woodgrain Tree Trunk and imagine "xoxo" carved into the trunk with Poppystamps' Poetic Lowercase Alphabet.

Prep white wool-blend felt by attaching it to adhesive label paper or a sticker sheet to stabilize it and prevent adhesives from saturating it.  Cut the large bear background.  Color the eartips with a pink marker.  Let it dry for a few minutes - then blot it to be sure it's really dry.

Cut the other bear sections from Open Studio Watercolor Paper.  Attach a scrap of Black Glossy Cardstock behind his face.  The glossy finish makes a big difference  - his eyes look brighter.  Assemble the bear - use foamtape behind the top layers of the paws and leave a section on the left unattached to insert the hugs heart

 

Cut a bright red 6x6 from the Berry Red Collection with the smallest

Double Stitch Loving Heart Cut Out.  

Cut "xoxo" and "hugs"  - from the Poppystamps Poetic Lowercase Alphabet - from dark brown cardstock.  Attach the letters to the heart.

Cut Woodgrain Tree Trunk from medium-brown cardstock.

Prep bright red felt with adhesive label paper or a stick sheet and cut 3 of the Layered Birds.  Cut the coordinating smaller top layers from the Berry Red 6x6.

Attach the diecuts to a light kraft slimline card (3-⅝" x 8-½").  Add the amber-colored Autumn Fairy Crystals.  

Cut a slimline-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Add a greeting - the new For You Posh Script - cut from light kraft cardstock and the bright red Rainbow Reflections 6x6.  Cut 2 background layers from the kraft cardstock and pressure-emboss 1 using the rubber mat and plate(s) required for your machine.  Pressure-embossing creates a debossed area to easily attach the detailed top layer.  Attach the other kraft background behind the greeting for extra dimension.

Construct a brown bear with brown felt and cardstock if they're more common in your neighborhood - like they are here.   He's also great for baby and kid cards too - and birthdays, holding a balloon or cupcake!    Add a scarf for extra color on winter cards.

Thanks for visiting - keep warm, be safe and have a great weekend!
