So Many New Products to Love!
by Anne Thompson

Welcome to Day One of the Memory Box Design Team Blog Blitz!  We'll be showcasing many of the newest products from the January 2017 Spring Collection today through January 8th.  Happy New Year!!!  There are indeed so many new products to love!  And there are many chances for you to win prizes if you leave comments for us for each blog post.  We look forward to reading what you have to say about our ideas and the new dies and stamp set.  

Today I'm sharing with you a card I made using black cardstock as the base and metallic gold paper for the die cuts.  


This is a very fast and simple card to create.  The dies I used are HEART WIRE 99634 and HEART PARTY BORDER 99706.  I attached the Heart Wire with glue dots and used a tape runner on the base of the Heart Party Border.

And there's a surprise on the inside!


I cut a piece of the metallic gold paper with one of the dies from the RECTANGLE BASICS SET 30086.  I stamped "sending love" from the SO MANY THINGS TO LOVE stamp set CL5196 and embossed it with clear powder. (I used a black dye-based ink which seemed to disappear when heat set, leaving the words looking like they were pressed into the paper.)  I attached this with a tape runner inside the card.  I then die cut the PEMBROKE HEART 99613 from more of the same gold paper , placing it on top of the rectangle with a glue dot under the flowers stem so that half of the heart is gold.

Four dies plus one stamp set:


I'll use a gold pen to write a brief message inside and to sign the card.  Elegant!


So what do you think?  Do you have favorites from this release already?  When you leave me a comment, you are automatically entered to win HEART PARTY BORDER 99706!  You have until 11:59pm EST on January 8th to leave your comment.  One comment at random will be chosen to win the new die.  Good luck.

Happy Crafting!

  17. OMG Anne this is gorgeous! I would never have thought to use a black card base but with these beautiful dies cut in gold it made for a very striking creation! Awesome inspiration! Thanks

  19. The color combination of gold and black make a striking card. I like the way the sentiment looks debossed on the inside. I think the Heart Party Border could become a favorite of mine.

  24. Love everything about this beautifully classy card. Tough to decide which I’d like for the front of the card because the outside and the inside are stunning. Thanks so much for your creativity!

  29. OH MY GOODNESS Anne, your card IS elegant! A real stunner!
    I am not sure that I have an actual fav. as they are ALL gorgeous! Who wouldn’t be happy with any one (or ALL) of them?

  33. Unfortunately, no…I found this at the local ACMoore store but I’ve also seen similar papers at Michaels and on-line. Good luck in your search for some! Anne

  41. These heart dies would be great for Valentines or wedding and anniversary cards! Anytime you want to express love, actually! Just gorgeous

  42. Gorgeous card. I love how your embossed sentiment on the inside looks. Loving that hearts wire die.

  44. Great card, gold and black is a great combo. Need to be adding Heart Party border die to my “gotta have” list. Thanks for sharing.

  46. These cards are great! I like that they are not in the traditional colors. I think the die patterns make these cards look very elegant and would be great to give anyone. Very well done! 🙂

  47. Happy New Year, Anne! I really like your elegant card and I would not have considered using a black card but it really is great. I have ordered the “So Many Things To Love” stamp set – I know I will use it a lot. I am thinking I also need the Heart wire die!!

  57. Absolutely stunning! I love the gold foiled paper you used for these gorgeous dies! I’d be thrilled to win the heart border die!

  59. Gold & hearts……a winning combination!!! I love the delicate beauty of the dies. You have knocked this one out of the park with elegance and beauty!

  60. Love the drama in your card. It is so striking and lovely! I would love to receive a card such as yours, and I would frame it since it is so beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration! Happy new Year!!

  62. The Heart Wire die is so delicate looking and the Heart Border Die goes so well with it! Seeing the Pembroke Heart cut out gives me more ideas on using it then just looking at the picture on the package last night. I would love to win any of these dies!

  64. Absolutely stunning card! I love all the heart dies, especially the surprise one on the inside. And love the way the senti ent turns out looking likr it was pressed in!!!!!

  69. Beautiful, love the black and gold together. It just looks so classic. And the Heart Party Border is so fun and festive.

  73. There’s something to be said for simplicity, ELEGANT, is the word. We don’t usually see heart designs except in “Valentine” colors so this is an interesting take of using hearts for other occasions, like weddings, anniversaries, and a good male valentine. Great job, EASY and ELEGANT, what more can you ask for right?
