Art Journaling with Shari Carroll: Memory Box Dies
Welcome, everyone!! It’s Shari here with my art journal pages featuring some really pretty Memory Box dies. I used the Woodgrain Planks in soft colors as a background for the flowers and message.
I was going for a clean and simple, organic look with natural colors to calm my soul. The Fresh Cut flower dies along with the Frilly Leaf Stems go so well together and were exactly what I needed to complete the feel.
If you’d like to see how this is created, check out the video below. Enjoy!

Altenew 8th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 1
Welcome, everyone to the 8th-anniversary celebration blog hop for Altenew!! If you’ve come from the Altenew blog, you’re in the right place!!!
As part of the celebration, I’ve created a bright, funky card using the Altenew Quaint Blooms stamps and coordinating dies.
I white embossed the images onto watercolor cardstock, then painted them with watercolors. While the paper was wet, I dropped in a combination of blue and purple paints and let them bleed and blend in together.
Once the watercolors were dry, I splattered white metallic paint for some shine.

Crafty With Caly: Viola Plate Layer Birthday Card
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Caly Person in the latest edition of our bi-monthly Crafty with Caly blog series with this gorgeous and dainty card design featuring some Memory Box products! Be sure to watch the video for more details, and enjoy!
Hi, Friends! I’m sharing a simple birthday card today. It looks more complicated because of the beautiful layered dies from the Birch Press Designs Viola Plate Layer Set, but as you’ll see in the video below, it’s very easy to put together.
The Viola Plate Layer Set is a set of 3 dies and they layer to create clusters of flowers for this particular set. You can ink-blend all three layers, use patterned paper, colored cardstock, or do a mixture. The design options are vast! I’m keeping it simple today with some ink-blending and glitter cardstock. I have a video showing my process and hope you’ll watch!
WATCH THE VIDEO:
I work from the bottom layer first (Layer C) and this is the layer I ink-blend on. On a white panel, I ink-blended Tattered Rose, Saltwater Taffy, and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide Inks. I added the lighter color in the center first, then added the darker colors as I blended out towards the edges.
For the second layer (Layer B), I used glitter cardstock from the Delicate Pastel Glitter Pad using a soft pink color. Then for the final top layer (Layer A), I die-cut with white cardstock. I adhered the layers to a white cardbase to complete the layers.
My sentiment is from the Memory Box Happy Birthday Posh Script. I die-cut the bottom layer in vellum and the intricate words in gold and adhered them together. I attached this to my card using thin strips of foam tape underneath the vellum layer. To finish, I embellished my card with some Ivory Pearls from Pretty Pink Posh over each flowers’ center.
I hope you enjoyed this project and that it inspires you to create! Thanks so much for being here today!~Caly
