Memory Miser Design Reveal

Today I am bringing you some artwork using Joy's Life Stamps for Memory Miser.   The first stamp set I used is called Joyful Hearts.  Don't you love the vertical wording?


Right away, I thought that the wording would be great between scoring lines:


This is a sweet little card to give "just because" to someone you love.  I've used one of the phrases along with a heart from the stamps set in a color that made this card very vintage-feeling.  The patterned paper  I used is Simple Stories Generations and can also be found in the Memory Miser store.  I also used this stamp set and paper for a layout:


I used the various heart stamps to create flowers for the page.  Very easy, and they make a nice element on the page!


The next Joy's Life set I used is Tag You're It - Set One.  This one has a coffee saying in it, so I was all over that one!  

First, a little gift to bring a hostess or when visiting a friend:


This mini pail is perfect for holding coffee beans, and I love that I could take the handle off to slide the tag through it.  The pail would be cute enough, but you have to agree that the stamped bunch tag adds a whole bunch to this gift!   If you been a CTMH shopper for awhile, you might recognize this paper as one of our Heart of Winter specials - and I think it was from 2007!  Perfect colors for coffee beans!

And as long as I was thinking coffee...


I don't need many Cricut cartridges as the Art Philosophy cartridge rarely comes out of the machine, but I had to have  Love You a Latte.  It's perfect for someone like me, and I can imagine I will be using some vinyl for my walls!  What fun little sentiments to pair for a coffee card!  I can envision using this card along with a coffee shop gift card for one of my coffee-loving friends!  I used CTMH Sonoma paper, kraft paper, mocha gems (what else?), and chocolate twine.  Cute, huh?

Memory Miser Design Reveal - Joy's Life

Today I am bringing you some examples using Joy's Life stamp sets.  It's fun being a part of the Memory Miser team working with product I may not otherwise see!  I had fun playing with these sets, and I think you're going to agree that these are fun stamps!

First up is Sweet Popsicle Puns:

I couldn't resist the "that bites" sentiment.  Sometimes those two little words are the best way to express your feelings over a situation! 


I scrapbook all things - even if they are not always pretty.  So I made a 3x3 card, and I plan to use as a journaling spot on a scrapbook page in the future.  Perfect for skinned knees, broken bones, chicken pox.  All of those things "bite"!  CTMH items used are Hooligans paper, black and gypsy ink, and black twine.

Repeating a small phrase is a great way to make a larger sentiment focal point on a card.  You'll see what I mean in my next card:


CTMH items used in this card are Mayberry paper and stickease, Smoothie Twine, and clear sparkles.

The second set I am using today is Tag You're It - Set Two:


First I've got a sweet little note card for a friend.  There is nothing better than getting a "just because" card like this in the mail! The sentiment I chose was perfect for stamping directly on one of my cloud stickers from the CTMH Mayberry collection.



And here was another sentiment that I just couldn't resist!  



I cut the wine glass, utensils, and pasta pot from the Slice cartridge, Bon Appetit.  The cardstock, ribbon, slide, and gems are CTMH.

I hope you've found some inspiration in today's post and that your creative juices are  flowing!

New Book, New Look!

Sometimes it just that time to make a change.  I've had this blog you are visiting for 12 years!  Wow, that's a lot of post and a lo...
