A Frame House with Narrow Tree Trunks Stencils - Memory Box Release

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today featuring beautiful new products from the latest "Winter Days" release!

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/lm95ekp

 

I used the new "Narrow Tree Trunks" 3 stencil set with these Distress Inks with an ink blending tool on stencil: 

Tea Dye, Rusty Hinge, and then "Soft Brown" ink from my stash. 

 

After removing the stencil I inked background bottom with Iced Spruce Distress Ink and the top with Salty Ocean, very, very lightly on both top and bottom.  

 

Now to add dimension to the trees I added colored pencil and white paint pen details on the stenciled area and the background.  Here's a closer look: 

 

I cut the "A Frame House" die set from white card stock, and cut the "Little Bird Bunch" from red and white card stock.  I colored the A frame edge with the same brown inks, then added Iced Spruce to the house front, direct ink pad to paper method.  I colored all the other piece with inks and colored pencils, but cut the door front from red card stock.  I also added pencil and white gel pen to the red door too.



I assembled the birds and house and added colored pencils and white paint pen to everything.  I used Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide on the wreath pieces before putting them together.  I popped up the birds and house.  Lastly I added snow details with a white paint pen, Cosmic Shimmer Fluffy Stuff (heated with heat gun) and then painted on Cosmic Shimmer Frosty Ultra Sparkle Paste with a small paint brush on the edges of the A frame. 

 

Once everything dried, I added the card to an A2 gray panel and then added that to a white card base.  Lastly I added the White Tab sentiment.

I hope you like my card for today!  The new release is big and there are so many beautiful products

 

 

New Spellbinders Release: Yana's Amaryllis Christmas

Hello and welcome, I have a lot of cards for you today using the products from the latest Spellbinders release called Yana's Amaryllis Christmas.  I will be sharing these over the next few days on my social media, but have them all here in one place for you to check out how I made each one.

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/kqzj970

The first card above was made by cutting the "Yana's Amaryllis" die from white and gold mirror card stock.  I colored the white one with colored pencils, then laid the gold outline over the white colored one.  I added a solid gold one behind it for more dimension.  Next I added the gold leaves and sentiment which was made with the BetterPress plate called "Home for Christmas Sentiments" from the same collection.  Lastly I added gold pearls around the card.

Card #2

Now for the next 5 cards I used an new BetterPress plate from the collection called "Festive Poinsettias."

I used the plate in different ways:

This card below was made using Hero Arts Raspberry Ink on the plate, and using grey letter press paper which is made specifically for the BetterPress machine.  Once dried, I cut a triangle from the bottom panel so I could add a BetterPress sentiment from the same sentiment set as card 1.  In fact all but one of my cards use the same sentiment set.  Here's card 1 with the BetterPress plate:

Card #3 below, was mde with the BetterPress plate was made with black BetterPress Ink, same sentiment set plus some gold pearls:

Card #4 below, was made with the plate just as I did card 2 - PLUS I used the coordinating stencils to ink the white areas of the panel with Distress Inks.  Next I added the sentiment framed with a piece of inked cardstock in pink.  Lastly, I added white gel pen and Glossy Accents to the berries and flower centers.



Card #5 was made by using the BetterPress plate as an embossing plate in my Spellbinders Platinum 6 machine.  (I used the bottom plate, the BetterPress plate facing up toward my paper, the rubber embossing mat and a top plate.  Just be sure to check your own sandwich for your particular machine can run it through easily enough so that your sandwich doesn't get stuck in your machine.)

Once I ran it through I added Surf Blue ink from Simon Says Stamp to the top, cut a red banner to add the sentiment to and added Autumn Red Nuvo drops to the berries.



Card #6 was made just like the blue one above, except with red ink.  I cut the panel on the diagonal and then sliced a 3/4" slice from the center and then added the two triangles to the card base.  I added a little white gel pen and then added the sentiment from the same set.



The next 3 cards were made with the new 3D embossing folder from the same collection called Amaryllis Garden.  

Card #7 was made by running a 5.5" by 8.5" panel through the new 3D embossing folder, then inked on the debossed side with red ink.  Once dried, I cut it into 2 panels to use on 2 separate cards.  This first one uses a red frame for the panel and a red rectangle to place the sentiment on.  Lastly I added gold paint pen dots arount the card.

Card #8 Below I used the black out method which is:

Color with ink blenders, on the debossed side, the flowers, leaves with different colors.  Once dried add black ink pad direct to paper and then the magic happens!  I added a sentiment from the same set.

Card #9 uses the left over panel from card #7 and this is the only one I didn't use the new sentiment set on.  Instead I used the "Curved Everyday Sentiments" glimmer plate and die set.  I also added gold paint pen.



I hope you enjoyed my many cards today using this beautiful new release designed by Yana Smakula for Spellbinders.  With it you can create so many gorgeous cards!

Witch Upon A Star with Memory Box

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with another fun Halloween card using the newest 2024 Fall Cornucopia release products.  I combined them with a paper from the Gladiola release.  

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/qyg5jml

I cut the Cauldron Witch die set from greens, blacks and purples and then cut and pieced everyting together.  The lighter greens are 1) the new Key Lime SH4405, and 2) Cilantro SH4407 and the lighter purple is called Lavendar Bloom SH44013.  The darker purple is from an older paper pack called Vibrant Violet SP1007.  The patterned paper background is from the Glimmering Gladiola Paper Pad PP1028.  I also used the Curved Cap Pinpoint Layers die set 99646.  Here's a closer look at my card.

The sentiment is from the Magical Halloween stamp and die set CL5284, stamped in black in and popped up with foam tape for dimension.  I love how the patterned paper sort of looks like stars to go with the sentiment!  Here's one last look:

Magical Halloween with Memory Box Fall Cornucopia Release

Hello and welcome, I'm up on the Memory Box blog today with a magical potion Halloween card using the new Potion Bottles die set 94847.

Supply list:  https://ldli.co/e/omnz793

Here's another look:

Memory Box's latest release has brand new 8.5 by 11" colorful thick and wonderful card stocks along with dies and stamps!

I used lots of the new colors to cut my bottles from.

Here's what I used:  

Key Lime, Cilantro, Deep Turquoise, Pool Party, Lavendar Bloom, Orange Peel. Summer Squash, along with a dark purple from previously released SP1008 Twilight Purple pack

Once I cut them all out, I put them together and colored the left sides with darker shades of alcohol markers and added gel pen highlights.  Next I cut the Vintage Tray die from the 3D embossing folder/die combo EF1040 from the Key Lime and added it to a piece of white woodgrain paper.

Next I stamped the sentiment from the Magical Halloween stamp et CL5284 and after cutting it out, I framed it with another piece of Key Lime paper that I inked with green inks.  I also added white gel pen to it.

Then I added all the potion bottles in each window, some glued to woodgrain paper, some popped up on thin pop dots and some popped up on regular height pop dots.  Lastly I added the sentiment with pop dots and jewels from the Autumn Fairy Jewels JWL004  in the corners of the sentiment frame.

Here's one last look:

I hope you like my festive Halloween potion card for today.  Be sure to check out all the new goodies from the 2024 Cornucopia Release!  Thanks for stopping by!

Stenciling Techniques with Memory Box

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a quick easy clean and simple holiday card featuring the new Holly Wreath stencil and the Merry Christmas Wave die.

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/5y1j44p

I love stenciling, especially with pastes, but often I don't have time to let them dry as I need a card quickly.  So this is when I will use inks and ink blending tools with the stencil.  Often the look I get with just ink is just too flat for me, so I will take colored pencils and a white gel pen to add darker colors and highlights with the white pen.

Here's another look at my card:

If you look closely you can see that I added darker greens and turqoise pencil to the leaves and green areas and then I took a red watercolor marker and colored in the berries a dark red.  Lastly I took the white pen and added highlights to the areas across from the darkest spots.   

Next I cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from white card stock and colored the background piece with the same ink I used initally on the stencil.  This die is great because you get all the separate letters too that you can use on a separate card in the future!  Lastly, I added gold jewels around the card.  Here's one last look:

I hope you like my stenciling accents and will give this technique a try.  It really helps the image pop and makes stenciling even more fun. 

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting my friends!
