Hello everyone, It's Mary here today with a quick and easy card. Just one stamp. No dies. I used The Butterfly Study stamp (#F1917) with back Memento ink. I stamped it twice on Parchment card stock. I colored the images with Copic markers. I cut 2 of the butterflies and the leaf out of the second image and adhered them to the first to give the card some dimension. Here is a detail shot. I love layering stamped images like this. It makes a simple stamp seem so much more interesteing. I layered the image over Licorice and Sunflower cardstock... Continue reading

Hello everyone! It's Olga here with a bright red card. I always thought that gingham paper (especially red colored) looks very "kitchen style". But when I started to use it for cards I changed my mind)) Here I used the following materials: and hand-made flowers again)) Regards, Continue reading

I love Downton Abbey for many reasons, but one of the biggest is the time period. I looooove the clothing of the Edwardian period, so that first season had me slobbering like a dog over a bone! So why not use these gorgeous dresses as card inspiration? Continue reading

Hi - Jean Okimoto here - with an easy-Friday Memory Box card featuring the new Allium Border D1924. Stamp it on Meadow Cardstock with ColorBox Black Pigment Ink and emboss it with detail black powder. Using a waterbrush and a glossy surface (like an acrylic stamp block) as a palette, paint the flowers with Clearsnap's summer-bright Smooch Accent Inks in shades of Carrot, Sundance, Orchid Frost and Berry Punch. The Smooches are slightly diluted to allow the little details of the blossoms to resist the vibrant colors and add dimension. Mat the stamped image with Peony Cardstock and attach it...

I've layered the classic Create Art G1330 collage and the new Butterfly Study F1917 over a background of water-blended pigment inks.

It finally feels as if summer is coming to the midwest. The warm sun has been so wonderful these last few days after dealing with so much rain. Not that I'm whining.....the rain has made the flowers so beautiful! Speaking of flowers, I really like the Graceful Silhouette die which I've featured on today's card. It reminds me of Queen Anne's Lace. I used Ranger's Holographic Embossing Powder on the die and really love the glimmery effect. You can click on the picture to enlarge and really see the glitter. Instructions: Cut Bill of Sale paper 3 7/8" X 5... Continue reading

Enjoy the ride! Pam here, taking you away to a place with gingham grass and polka dot flowers! So fun to create whimsical scenes with Memory Box and Poppystamps dies and papers! I used parts of a couple dies… the leaves in the tree are from the Lavish Branch die and the grass is just the scallop part of the Spring Border die with the flowers cut off. I die cut the Lamp post frame out of Vanilla Bean card-stock and the Debutante background is die cut out of Water card-stock. The Lavish Branch is die cut from the Key... Continue reading

Have you noticed all the bees lately? Since my yard is in full bloom the honey bees are loving it and gathering oodles of nectar and pollen. Just stepping outside you can HEAR them before you see them. Tree trimmers are coming tomorrow and I wish them luck! This is my inspiration for the birthday card today...bees in the trees. Can you see their little delicate wings? I die cut them from a scrap of translucent vellum and c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y glued them onto the bee bodies. I cut the bee bodies from patterned paper and the stripes from black paper. Tweezers... Continue reading

Click to see photos full size... Hello everybody! Pam here...I have a fun fold card and a video to share with you today. A Bicycle Built For Two always makes me think of the 'Daisy, Daisy' song!

There are more photos on my blog and I can email you more if you want to see them even larger. Here's a video... to really see the card well,... Continue reading

Hi Everyone, It's Mary here today to share a summer themed thank you card. We recently visited my in-laws in Florida and I was inspired to make them a card to thank them for having us. The card base is an AccuCut die that my local store has. I used a lot of the summer themed Memory Box dies. Old and new. The new Thank(s) You script die can be used as "Thanks" alone or "Thank you" by trimming the s off of the "Thanks". I used the leaves form the Grand Oak Tree die to look like coral behind...

Summer is the season for vacations, adventures and explorations - and Memory Box has some great products for those events. Jean Okimoto here, with a simple summer card that could also celebrate graduations, promotions or retirements...moving on! I love how the largest die from the Sideshow Tickets Set 98514 is great for the collage stamps like my favorite, Journey Collage G1733. The detailed Marvelous Bridge 98607 cuts perfectly with the Memory Box Metal Adapter Plate. The fishes - a group of five with their individual personalities - are on a single, quick-cutting die. Mango cardstock is just the right goldfish-cracker... Continue reading
