{ Gratitude Memorydex challenge }

 I wanted to share my #gratitudememorydexchallenge on Instagram. You can follow me there and you can follow the hashtag. I am creating little videos to show how I created each card. Memorydex is back in style and available at Scrapbook.com. Blush rolodex spinner is available exclusively at scrapbook.com along with other items like the memorydex hole punch and dies. 

I have been participating in another memorydex  Instagram challenge hosted by Damaris @atstudiod and Caroline @caroline_mae_m since January. You can see my original post HERE. In that post I am sharing rolodex cards I created in my Silhouette Studio (freebies).

This is my cover for the Memorydex gratitude challenge. I have gathered various "fall" items from my stash (see below). 

Stash.

I have been creating these little cards and writing down what I am grateful daily. I am getting creative with tucking a journaling tag or card somewhere on the memorydex. I created envelopes in my Silhouette Studio. I had lost of questions on Instagram on where to find these. I am sharing them here. You just need to punch holes at the bottom.

{ Impression Obsession - Old Is New }

Hello and welcome to another Old is New blog post.

With such a huge collection of wonderful stamps from so many artists, sometimes the older stamps in the Impression Obsession catalog find their way out of the spotlight. We don't want them to be forgotten, so from now on you'll be seeing our team feature them regularly. We hope you're inspired!

Today I created a Memerydex card. 

Impression Obsession supplies:

Secret Code

Branch Die

Floral Tag Flag

There For You
Impression Obsession Hybrid Ink

I stamped the Memorydex card base with Secret Code in Sea Glass. I layered several stickers from my old stash of My Mind's Eye. I die cut Branch die from patterned paper and vellum. I layered them together on top of each other. I stamped Floral Tag Flag with the same ink as the base and cut it out. I stamped the sentiment from There For You stamp set. I used lots of 3D foam squares from Therm O Web and small Zots adhesive dots for the sequins.

If you are not familiar with Memorydex You can check out my post HERE where I am sharing two free files. One is the rolodex card and it fits Heidi Swapp system and it fits paper straws. The other one is the diamond shape I used for one of my cards created for the Instagram challenge hosted by @atstudiod and  @caroline_mae_m. I will be sharing my projects on Instagram you can follow me there. I have created a card for every week and this is week 17 - two of a kind.

I hope you visit Impression Obsession blog and visit the Design Team to see what they created with old stamps.

Let me know if you have a favorite older stamp set.

Have a great Monday.

{ MemoryDex by Heidi Swapp revisited }

Hello and happy 2020!

I decided to document my daily life using MemoryDex. I have purchased the MemoryDex spinner a few years ago. I have since created several boxes with cards to use for various projects. I do have the original MemoryDex Desktop Tray Holder by Heidi Swapp. There are lots of videos on youtube on how to create one. There are various free files for the cards and there are ones you can purchase. I have all the MemoryDex dies and I have the punch. I guess I got lucky. This system has been around since 2015. I know that American Crafts produced more of the discontinued items recently. You can find some of the items on Scrapbook.com, Amazon and Heidi Swapp website. 

I am sharing two free files in this blog post. One is the rolodex card and it fits Heidi Swapp system and it fits paper straws (see photos below). The other one is the diamond shape I used for one of my cards created for the Instagram challenge hosted by Damaris @atstudiod and Caroline @caroline_mae_m. I will be sharing my projects on Instagram you can follow me there. 

Bea Valint has a free download for a box along with cards. 

LollyPaloozaCrafts on Etsy has rolodex cards for purchase.

Here are some of my projects using MemoryDex.
