Memory Box Look Book and Poppystamps Sneak Peek!

Hello friends!

I have little bit of exciting news. For over a month I have been diligently working on the look book for Memory Box. I told you a while back, that even though my post were few in April, it was not because I was not busy. That was an understatement! :) I created 28 cards for the new Spring Look Book for Memory Box and I am so excited that it is finally live on the Memory Box website! I hope you will take a look by clicking on the link below or the graphic! Enjoy!

Hello my friends!

Happy Mother's day! I spent the day on Thursday with my Mom stamping and making cards. It was so much fun! And then on Friday, my sweet girl took me shopping and and out to eat, and bought me fun things. I really took her, because she's only 12, but we pretended that she was taking me :)

Sneak Peek Poppystamps Garden Bouquet

Hello my friends!

We had an unbelievably beautiful weekend here! Highs near 70 on both Saturday and Sunday! I love to stay inside and make things, but I had to get out and play a bit. I went for long walks with the dogs and my favorite little girl. It was just like Springtime, except for the lack of flowers and quite a bit of mud:)

Speaking of spring, I have a  brand new very springy card up on the Poppystamps blog today. I love this card, and the minute I was done with it, I knew my Mom would too. As soon as she saw it she had me gather up all the supplies I used, so she could take them home and make one too. Her's turned out beautiful! 

Anyway, if you'd like to see the whole card and read all about how I created it, then hop on over to the Poppystamps blog and take a look!

Poppystamps and Memory Box Blog Hop Day3

Hello my friends! 

Welcome to day three of the Poppystamps and Memory Box Blog Hop! The design teams from Poppystamps and Memory Box are joining together for a three day blog hop featuring holiday tags and treats.  What a great way to find ideas to fancy up your goodies and packages, and you might even find a few recipies as well.  

We want to also introduce you to Dave Brethauer's latest venture - Birch Press Design.        Dave is the creator of Memory Box and Poppystamps.   Birch Press features letterpress, laser cut, and printed card designs, as well as beautiful products for your home including party supplies and serveware.

Each day of the hop (December 2-4) we'll be giving away a prize from Birch Press Design.  There will be two winners each day - one selected by Poppystamps and another from Memory Box.  So while you're hopping be sure to leave comments along the way.  Winners will be selected from DT blogs.

If you are following along with the hop you will have come from The Poppystamps blog here.

I used the Cute Cottage die from Poppystamps for my tag. It's one of my very favorites! I love how you can create a winter house with the snow or a halloween house with the cobwebs! So fun! Anyway I cut a grey house out and glued it down to a white base and cut around that so I would have a nice sturdy tag. I then cut the windows out of the darker grey and glued them down. I took my C3 Copic marker and added a little shadow in the windows. I cut the door out of red and glued it down. Next I cut all the snowy pieces out of glittered Fun Foam! It's so fun! I bought it at Michaels and it cuts wonderfully with the big shot and my dies. I also cut the Merry, the greenery and the snowflake on the door out of the glittered Fun Foam. I glued these all down with Mono Adhesive. Last I added the silver bow at the top!

Poppystamps products used:

Cute Cottage

Frosted Roof and Ledges

Vintage Merry Christmas

Leafy Garland

Christmas Baubles

The Cutting Edge Challenge #14 and Poppystamps Sneak Peek!

I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend! It's chilly here, perfect weather for staying inside and doing a little crafting!

It's time to share the next Cutting Edge Challenge!  We have another inspiration project, this one done by Lisa!  Just be inspired by the card in the photo, to create your own card using any form of die cutting you'd like :)

Since I am full throttle Christmas now,  I chose to use this fabulous design with a little Christmas twist :)

I first cut out the striped patterned paper and the kraft card stock with  stitched rectangle dies. Then I cut out a stitched square with the red card stock and adhered it to the Kraft with foam tape. I then cut out the scalloped border and adhered it to the lower part of the Kraft rectangle. I cut the jolly sentiment out three times and layered them before gluing them down to the border. I next created the cute little Christmas candies and added them to the red panel with foam tape as well.

• Dies: Stitched Rectangles- Lawn Fawn, Stitched Square and stitched border- Lil Inkers, Candies- Taylored Expressions, Jolly- Penny Black

We’d love to have you play along with us! If you click on through to The Cutting Edge Challenge Blog, you’ll find lots of information, including:

• The Winner of the last challenge, as well as the Top 3, are being announced;
• The Cutting Edge Design Team is sharing their samples for the challenge, and they are pretty fabulous;
• The InLinkz link-up tool for you to link up YOUR project!

This challenge will close on  Thursday, Thu Nov 20th EDT, so what are you waiting for?!  You can find everything you need to play along HERE.  We can’t wait to see what you create!!

I also have a little Christmasy project on the Poppystamps blog today! Hop on over there to find out how I created this winter scene, and comment for a chance to win the Vintage Seasons die that I used!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

Kay :)

Poppystamps Challenge #1- Falloween Fun

I'm so excited to share that we're starting a blog challenge on the Poppystamps blog.  A new challenge with a central theme will be posted on the first of every month.  The design team will provide samples for inspiration and you can play along for your chance to win.  

The rules are simple - just create a project following the theme, use at least one Poppystamps image or die, and link it up here.  The design we love best will receive our winner badge to proudly display on their blog, and one lucky random winner will receive a prize.  You don't have to have a blog to play.  You can link to any on line gallery.   You can enter as many times as you like, and you are welcome to link your design to other challenges.  Grab our badge to post on your blog post or side bar!

For the first challenge the theme is to Create a Halloween or Fall project using at least one Poppystamps image. 

I loved the Cute Cottage die the minute I saw it and knew I could do so many fun things with it. I decorated my haunted house with several different dies. I even made the decoration on the door from  The Winterflake Border. I cut the house out of several different colors of card stock, so I could have the different colored windows and door. So much fun!

Dies from Poppystamps:

Cute Cottage

Halloween Roof and Porch

Winterflake Border

Diana Border

Other dies:

Pumpkins - Taylored Expressions

Ghost, Moon and Boo- My Favorite Things

Hop on over to the Poppystamps blog to see what the other design team girls have created and join in on the challenge! One lucky participant will win three beautiful Poppystamp dies!
