Hello again.
As promised, I am back with a couple more cards using Memory Box alphabet dies. I can see these getting a lot of use in my future! Yesterday I used the Typewriter set. First up today? The Parker set. I think this is my favorite…
Again, I added some double-sided adhesive to white cardstock. I then die cut the letters. After I removed the other side of the release paper, I added the glitter and burnished it. Voila! I thought this would be fun for Audrey who just started her Freshman year here – new to our district. Yay! Love that shine…
HERE is the Parker die set. Swoon…
And, again I used the Stardust glitter (ultra fine with a vintage silver look) and chevron background stamp with Wet Cement ink. Oh, and those perfect little stars? From THIS border punch.
Next up? The Classic die set. I did this one a bit different. I first covered a rectangle of white cardstock with double-sided tape. I then cut apart the letters of the die itself. (This is really easy to do. There is only a thin piece of metal connecting each letter so you can use them together or cut them apart.) I arranged each letter on the adhesive piece and ran it through my machine. Easy! I then removed the letters (and will save them for a future card) and just used the negative space. After removing the release paper and adding back in the center of the letter “o,” I added the glitter. For dimension, I popped it up over some bright cardstock. I love the playful look of n0t-straight-at-all letters…
HERE is the Classic die set…
You can find all the alphabet dies sets HERE – including lowercase, uppercase and numbers. (I like all lowercase, so I just started with those.)
That background stamp is so unique, too – it is THIS one from Impression Obsession. (Can you tell I just re-discovered these great stamps? Having lots of fun playing with them.)
And since I love these dies so much, I decided to purchase a set to send to a lucky winner. I actually picked someone from the comments left on yesterday’s post. (I love doing surprise giveaways for folks kind enough to leave comments – I plan to do this more!) The winner is Winnie Dolderer! I will email you. 
Also… I have a bit of enabling for ya. Just some fun products to check out…
- Remember when I posted about Kelly Purkey’s awesome stamps HERE? You can now get them at Simon Says Stamp HERE. Yay!
- Check out THIS great stamp set. So good for encouraging kids.
- Totally love THIS. Have it to hang outside the kids bathroom.
See you soon.

I love these cards! You’ve inspired me to try to make more personalized cards, too!
Awesome card here again Jenniffer and these letters are really cool, but as I said last, it will be pretty expensive, if we want different kinds and of both upper and lower cases, but they looks really cool and your cards are so awesome here, I can only agree to that.
Hi Jennifer -
I love how you used the alphabet dies. They really pack a punch. I really like how the glitter looks on them.

Those dies are great. And so are your cards!
I’ve been a silent follower for some time now, and I love your work!
Thanks so much for the chance to win these dies!
I love the versatility of these dies. You can do so much with them.
STARDUST glitter ritz..Yummmm!
Letters are always a good purchase. I love the background stamp you used on Colin’s card.
As usual, your cards are beautiful. I find so much inspiration at your blog and I thank you for it.
I don’t know which set I like best. All the cards are great.
I love how you glittered the letters. Do you have a video on how to burnish the glitter?
Those big background stamps look awesome.
I don’t have a favorite alphabet die set yet – any would be loved and used and used and used. thanks for the chance! And glad you are back in your remodeled home.
Yep, gotta get at least one of these alphabet dies……and had to stop and say how much I LOVED that quote about being a parent from your last link……if only all parents had that attitude…..
Sweet cards…those dies are very useful. Thanks for the links. I love the “I love you b/c I am your parent one”.
thanks for more great ideas!
Love that first card! Can never have too many alpha dies!
I think Parker is my favourite of the three fonts, too, but all look so versatile! Super cards, love how you did the negative die cuts.
This is brilliant! As soon as I saw this I ran for my double sided adhesive and tried it with butterly dies. thanks for the idea! I used different colours of glitter and it looks gorgeous. I was in a bit of a card making slump and this snapped me out! Thanks!
Love your cards and the versatility of these alphabet dies. Hard to pick a favorite but do like the lower case letters more than upper. Congrats to Winnie ~ lucky gal!
the one stamp on the Colin rocks card reminds me of a fingerprint! Love it.
What great cards! You make everything look so easy!
LOVE the glitter idea on the letters! I can’t wait to try it.
Those dies are fabulous! So is your card!
Awesome dies, love the pretty and glittery cards!!!
My little cousin was watching me when I took your class. She loved what I was doing and started to stamp with me. This kit will be wonderful for her. I like the dies and all your cards to do such a great job. Thank you for the chance to win.
I love how using the dies lets you personalize the cards! These are both fabulous!
Cool Alphabet dies! I just added some to my wish list over at Simon Says Stamp. Thanks for telling us about them.
I totally love these dies! So sweet of you to buy some for a reader!
Wonderful cards!! I’d sure love to see these alphabet dies in my crafting supply stash. Long wish list — short cash flow! LOL!!! They may move to the top of the list, though.
Great cards, I’m loving those alphabet dies.
Great card. I love those alphabets. Would love to win a set!
LOVE YOUR GLITTER! Putting glitter on this way makes it fun, not just a MESS! Thanks for the ideas.
Congratulations to Winnie. These alpha dies are so cute and very affordable. Love all of your name cards Jennifer.
Yep…..being a parent is not the same as being a friend. One day, your kids will come back and thank you for that! And then, you will get to be a friend. It’ s an amazing thing! Hang in there, girl!
I love the new alphabets – definitely on my must have list. The perfect little stars are just the right finishing touch for the card.
