Merry Card & A Call to Destruction?
I’m also still playing with our latest holiday release, and I decided to change it up a wee bit by using PARTS of die cuts to see what would result. I really like what happened – check it out:

One of the things I like best about the Advent Calendar dies are their versatility. You have the ornaments with the numbers removed from a solid background, the “cut-out” numbers, the solid ornaments and the outlined ornaments. I used the solid dies to cut out ornaments from patterned paper – the bear images are the perfect size for this. I could have made one “25” ornament, but I wanted two ornaments from the contrasting paper and thought I’d go with the “2” and the “5.”

Memory Box Online Class
You’ll have life-long access to the course materials (3 videos, 5 instructional PDFs with photos, 3 printable sentiments in PDF format, and a complete supplies list). There is a group forum and gallery (which I hope you’ll use), and I’ll also be available through email.

Just Thinking of You Today
Memory Box just released its latest collection, and today I’ve made a card featuring two of the new stamps! I also tried some new things on this card and was fairly pleased with my results.
I used Inktense watercolor pencils for the first time; and
I decided to dry emboss and ink my focus image after I had stamped and colored it. -

I’ve been wanting to play with the cat dies that have been released through Poppy Stamps – and this particular die comes in more than one size!
