Hope you're liking our new product blitz as much as we enjoy sharing our ideas with you. I love the pink/orange/brown combination for Valentine Cards – especially because it gives me an excuse to ink up a swirly, shimmery background and add some great new dies.
The intricate Bingham Heart 98499, solid Grand Heart from the 2012 Collection and sweet Poppystamps Labrador 879 create a card to make anyone smile. The Lab is cut from the plush Mushroom Velvet Paper I found at Impress. View the Memory Box 2013 Collection here – and the new Poppystamps dies right here.
Here's a card with another new Memory Box Die – it's the versatile Heart Ensemble 98479. Here's a link to the directions for this project.
Be sure to add your comments to each designer post on Outside the Box this week. We're giving away dies from the 2013 Collection – and you could be a winner!
