Day Five of Memory Box Blog Blitz

It's Day Five of the week-long Blog Blitz at Outside the Box, the Memory Box Design Team's blog! We've been posting an average of three cards a day (morning, noon, and night) with a drawing at the end of each day from the day's comments - free and fabulous product goes to the winners!

I made two cards. For the first one, I was in the mood for some vintage, and this is what happened:

S U P P L I E S:

• Cardstock: (Kraft, Wassail) Memory Box
• Patterned Paper: (Valise collection) Memory Box
• Rubber stamps: (Wishing You a Happy Day) Memory Box
• Dye inks: (Walnut Stain, Espresso) Ranger Industries
• Pens: (Chocolate Zig Writer) EK Success  
• Accents: (buttons) Basic Grey, Paper Trey Ink
• Fibers: (twine) Hempotique, (embroidery floss) DMC, (ribbon) Martha Stewart
• Dies: (Darla Butterfly) Memory Box
• Punches: EK Success
• Tools: (Vagabond) Sizzix, (Foam Ink Applicator tool) Ranger Industries, (border punch) Fiskars

 I N S T R U C T I O N S:

1. Make card from cardstock and ink edges.
2. Cut patterned papers and Wassail panels, punch borders, layer and adhere to card.
3. Cut timepiece paper panel, ink edges, and adhere to card.
4. Die cut butterfly and ink edges.
5. Stack and thread buttons with twine.
6. Stack and adhere to card: ribbon, butterfly, and buttons. 
7. Punch ticket, draw stitching, and ink edges. 
8. Stitch triangles with embroidery floss and adhere to card.

That was a pretty complex card for me, so I decided to relax and go for something clean and simple with this thank you card featuring the new Wild Blooms die:

S U P P L I E S:

• Cardstock: (Vanilla Bean, Cherry Blossom, Taffy) Memory Box
• Patterned Paper: (Bubblegum Gingham) Memory Box
• Rubber stamps: (Thanks) Memory Box
• Dye inks: (Rich Cocoa) Memento
• Accents: (pearl stickers) Memory Box
• Ribbon: American Crafts
• Dies: (Wild Blooms, Classic Tags) Memory Box
• Tools: (Vagabond) Sizzix

I N S T R U C T I O N S:

1. Make card from cardstock.
2. Cut brown, pink and gingham panels.
3. Die cut flowers from brown panel, layer and adhere to gingham and pink panels; adhere to card.
4. Die cut tag, stamp sentiment, and attach with pop-dots.
5. Tie ribbon into bow and attach.
6. Adhere pearl stickers.
