The Blog Blitz Begins!

The Blog Blitz begins today, July 7th!!!  All week long, through Sunday, July 13th, members of the Design Team will be showcasing the newest Memory Box dies.  Be sure to leave comments on each post in order to have a chance at winning a featured die!

To kick off the week I chose to create a clean and simple card featuring the 25th Celebration die, No. 99011. 

I think this design might have been intended for a 25th anniversary, but by diecutting the image from white cardstock and stamping and embossing in white "Merry Christmas", new stamp B2019, I've got a quick and easy, clean and simple holiday card!  I used a Holly Berry notecard and rounded the corners on the bottom edge.  While I had my die cutting supplies out, I cut another nine of these because I'm thinking Christmas in July all month as I get a head start on card-making for the holidays!

Please leave me a comment on this post before 11:59 PM EST on Sunday the 13th in order to win the 25th Celebration die!  The winner will be announced on Monday, July 14th.  I look forward to reading your responses and ideas for using this die.

Happy Crafting!

  3. Anne, I agree… Maybe for an anniversary, but works great for Christmas too! Great simple card!

  5. Such clean lines that are simple yet very effective. Possibly could be used for a Silver wedding anniversary.

  9. I like the simplicity of the card and the 25th can be use for so many other occasions as well!!

  11. I love crafting items that have more than one use. Anniversary or Christmas or the occasional 25th birthday!

  15. Awesome idea to do Christmas in July cards! Wish I was that organized!

  22. There’s lots of 25th in life but none greater than the 25th of December for that is very special day The day Jesus was born, he is the reason for the season after all

  23. love this beautiful die! so many uses, my daughter has her 25th anniversary coming up this year..

  27. I also thought of birthday, too, and noticed another comment about that possibility. It is a gorgeous card. If you want to do a Christmas “countdown”, one could make a card for each month, using seasonal colors!

  28. Sure wish I had this die last December when it was my friends 25th wedding anniversary! Looks great as a Christmas card too!

    Great card. When I saw this die, I immediately thought Christmas, funny how we all see things differently. I think you did a great job. Smart idea to get a head start on Christmas cards.

  34. Love this! My sisters birthday is Christmas Day and I make her 2 cards this would be great to use 🙂

  35. Great use of the die. You can always snip off the “th” and use as a number. Or you can stamp a small “December” above the die for another Christmas look.

  39. I love it when we can use stamps and dies for multi-purposes – so anniversary, Christmas, or birthday, what a wonderful card!

  41. Oh how clever! When I saw this die I thought only about anniversaries. It makes a great Christmas card.
