Memory Box Card: You Are Doing Great

Hello, hello, hello!

It's my day to post on the Memory Box Design Team blog, Outside the Box and that means I've got some more of the latest release coming your way!

Today's card features two new dies, (Sunrise Poppy and Postage Assemblage) a sentiment from that fantastic new PoppyStamps clear stamp set Hope and Thanks, and some more of the retired Sprout 6x6 patterned paper that I've been hoarding.

I only used the top flower from the Sunrise Poppy die, so I aligned my die so only that top flower was actually on my paper. This way you don't waste paper. Of course, you could die cut the entire shape and save the bottom blossom for another project. (I didn't do this because I find it's really hard for me to keep extra bits tidy and organized. I can never find what I'm looking for, or it's the wrong color, etc. So it's just easier for me to die cut only that portion of the shape I'm going to be using immediately.)

 

Easy-peasy, no?

 

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
