weekend inspiration: memory box

 

Iris Uy was amazed at how the Memory Box die Catalina Wreath produced such a delicate and intricate cut! The wreaths were originally designed for a Christmas theme but it still went perfectly well with this everyday layout of her two girls. She die-cut three wreaths and used it as a background and base for her photos and hand-cut elements.

Iris  created this page using the brand new Webster's Line "Composition and Color" by Allison Kreft. The hot air balloon and clouds dies from Memory Box really completed this page for Iris. The dies really came in handy when Iris tried to come up with embellishments for her layout.
To add more definition to the die-cuts, she outlined the shapes with a coloured pencil and then used dimensional paint to create small dots on the hot air balloons and the clouds.

Jane trimmed the Row of Trees die-cut so she would have just one trunk with branches, this enable her to make a smaller card. She used both of the cloud dies with shades of green paper she had lying around and use them as the tree tops.

 

 

 

Jane die-cut the trees from the wood panel side of the Yesterday paper then used the clouds again as the tree tops. The largest cloud die was cut twice from the chapter paper and used as mountains, a cute little banner was added to one of the trunks for the sentiment, simple but cute!

Isabel Ocliasa is a paper crafter and an entrepreneur specializing in the production and distribution of hand crafted items. As the owner of "The Yellow Violet House", she is often on the look out for quality dies. Memory Box dies is definitely one of her favorite brands. Here she shows us how one can create an elegant and beautiful card using a tree die. Thank you for sharing this beautiful card with us Isabel!

 

 

Deborah Nolan from the Memory Box design team created this beautiful card.  She has combined the Classic Pear die with the Embellished Pear die.  We love how she has mounted it onto woodgrain cardstock created by the Sizzix/Tim Holtz woodgrain embossing die as well!

Before we start checking out all the Memory Box goodness our design team have both created and found to share with you, we’d first like to welcome Carole Janson back to the Aussie DT fold. Her talents for detail and intricacy are perfectly showcased in this first project.

Carole loved creating this bifold card with the Memory Box Dies.  She used the Amira Flourish for the brown swirls and the Small Pinwheel Posie and Fringe Border for the very cute flowers.  G45 Ladies Diary pattern paper complemented the flowers perfectly.

Suz created this fun layout using the Memory Box Floral Square die as her backgrounds for each square panel.  She mixed up the colours combinations to create interest and to tie together different photos from the day.  The dies combined with the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan chipboard to bring the layout together.

Suz also wanted to have a play with the Pinwheel Posie, which die cuts the exact spiral you need to quill this sweet flower, complete with a little base.  She tried it with tissue paper which gives a delicate effect, and then spritzed them with Tattered Angels chalkboard for glimmer and colour.

Louise so so loves the range of Memory Box cutting dies. Louise believes that cutting dies are just as versatile and as much as a 'must have' as mist, paint, and stamps!

When Leeann saw the range of memory box dies she couldn’t wait to have a play with a few. Leeann has used a mixture on this first project. She made a few little pet shop houses for one of her daughters. She started of by sourcing some used Sellotape rolls and covered each one using papers from echo park everyday eclectic. Then made little shelves and embellished each one. Leeann used the scalloped pinwheel poise, small pinwheel and pinwheel poise dies. She also filled one of the Sellotape rolls with more pinwheel poise’s. And finally the chloe stem die was cut a few times and layered and embellished with twine, buttons and sticker label.

Leeann also made this card up using two of the memory box dies, Maribelle and Selena butterfly dies. They simply are just so beautiful. As you can see from the actual die they are just half a butterfly. All that Leeann did was cut twice and flip one over giving you a full butterfly. The possibilities are endless when it comes to dies.
