MY VERY FIRST MEMORY BOX DIE

Hi Everyone

I hope Monday has been kind to you.

Tonight I am going to share with you a card I have made today using my very first Memory Box die .. .. .. and surprise, surprise .. .. it wasn't one of the lovely hearts!!  (But only because I can't decide which one I like the best LOL!!).

Here we go:




This used:

Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat "Snow Flurries" (can you tell I am loving the new Christmas downloads)
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Heartfelt Christmas Sentiments"
Memory Box Die:  Modern Landscape Border
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Button Twine
Hobby Craft Punch:  Snowflake
Glamour Dust

So there we go.  My very first Memory Box Die put into action.

I think I may have chosen the wrong colour background to my snow flurries.  I was tempted to use blue at first .. .. but then blue skies and snow didn't seem right. But having said that you don't get snowflakes bigger than a house either!!!  LOL!!!

Never mind.  I can always do a different colour sky next time.  There are 38 different colours I can play with until I find the right one LOL!!!

Have a lovely evening everyone. Enjoy your fireworks if you are having a bonfire party .. .. and stay safe!!

Love

    Your card is beautiful, how do you get your stitching so perfect? can't believe its your first MBD, i bet you will be buying more now.
    I am very tempted to buy that die myself, it could be very versatile.
    Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog.

  17. Ohhhhhh, Jules!!! I LOVE this card!!! I love the tiny snowflakes and the big ones too! I didn't think anything was wrong with the background color--to me it looks foggy and icy, like when it snows! My favorite part by far is the fabulous die cut landscape. Oh my goodness, that's just awesome!!!!

  20. I just happened to see this on my dashboard Jules and just had to come and have a peek.

    I think it's the first time I've seen that memory box die used and you have presented it with great effect.

    Chilly morning here -5.

  22. This is perfect, Jules. I like the colour of your sky, it looks very sophisticated!! I haven't seen that memory box die, it works a treat for Christmas cards doesn't it. You'll be hooked on them now, the designs are so unusual and they cut so well don't they.
    I made sure a responsible adult lit my sparklers last night, but it was a bit chilly!!!!
    Have a good day.
