Memory Box Card: Merry

Hello, Stampin' Sistahs!

It's my day to post on the Memory Box Design Team blog, Outside the Box!

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:

I took the "Merry" from the Merry Christmas To All die:

98970

And the center of the Dazzling Snowflake to decorate my Cabrini Ornament:

99041

And here's what I got:

S U P P L I E S

All products by Memory Box unless otherwise stated.

Dies: Cabrini Ornament, Dazzling Snowflake, Merry Christmas to All; 6" x 6" patterned paper scrap (discontinued Winterberry collection); cardstock: (The Paper Company, Neenah 110# Solar White, discontinued Soiree Shimmer scraps); Accents: gems & pearl (Mark Richards, Recollections)

U S E U P T H O S E S C R A P S !

In the interest of attempting to winnow down my collection of paper scraps, I decided to use a 6"x6" Memory Box patterned paper scrap and some Soiree Shimmer paper scraps - the former is so old I don't even remember when I originally got it, but it's been years.

I'm so excited! FIve scraps down and only 2,037 to go - woo-who!!!

(There are tons of current patterned papers and cardstock out there that can be substituted for my discontinued stuff. One of the nicest things about this design is that you can mix and match very easily.)

I hope you give these techniques a try. Look at your dies and see what would happen if you took the die cut apart. The results are like doubling your die collection!

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
