Hello, Stampers!
It's my day to post on the Memory Box Design Team blog, Outside the Box!
Today's card features one of the dies and two stamps from the latest release along with some retired Memory Box 6x6 patterned paper that I've been hoarding.
One thing I really love about the sentiment set I used here (Hope and Thanks - CL405 by PoppyStamps) is how incredibly versatile it is. You get two starter phrases (Hoping and Thank You) in both a script and a block font PLUS 14 "finisher" phrases in various fonts and sizes.
So if I wanted to, I could have replaced my finisher statement below with to see you soon, you feel better soon, you have a terrific birthday, you have a wonderful anniversary, you are doing great, or you have a fabulous vacation.
As an additional bonus, some of the finishers can be used solo (example: You are doing great). You can also use the finishers inside the card. So there's a ton of options, giving you a tremendous bang for your buck!

I always mean to stamp more on patterned paper. This particular bird stamp is perfect for the distressed look of this paper. After coloring in the bird, I edged the borders with distress inks and you'd almost think this block was printed just as it is.
Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!Deborah
Beautiful card and gorgeous coloring Deborah!
