Good Monday morning. I am offering you an opportunity to win my blog candy gift of the Memory Box Jolly Bumblebees and Honey Bee Skep. All you need to do to qualify is leave me a comment on this post telling me what about your favorite new die/dies. You will have until Thursday, April 4th at 5:00 p.m. to leave your comment. You can check out my Honey Bee Skep blog post to see how I used these two precious dies together.
I have a fun scene project to share with you today using my new Memory Box Vintage Bicycle. I’ve had it a while but haven’t had the chance to play with it. I thought it would pop done in red and placed on an all white background.
I started by mounting the scene border on the card base with mounting tape to add dimension. I cut the bicycle using red cardstock and colored the wheels, seat and handlebars using a black distress marker.
I cut one fresh cut grass and one grass border and attached them to the card base using mounting tape. I tucked the bike in behind the grass and attached it with rolled up glue dots.
I popped the clouds up on the background with rolled glue dots and added a few butterflies to the scene for adding color, dimension and finishing touch.
Have a great week and thanks for stopping by. I’ll look forward to hearing about and checking out all your favorite fun new dies.

nice card.. 🙂
i have some dies…from spellbinders, cherrylnn and joy crafts…none from memory box…and i am really tempting to have some from memory box 🙂
I enjoy using my poppy stamps window dies. I like to create scenes both inside and outside of the window
My new favorite die is from Memory Box and it’s the Oak tree, adding the tire swing. In response to Neha, I love Memory Box Dies. I think the prices are reasonable and they cut so well. Love the card with the big bicycle.
What a lovely card, it’s beautiful like always 😉
I love dies from Memorybox they are so beautiful and they works really good, I have also die from Joy Crafts and marianne Design, they are great too

Like you I love to create scapes…and would have a hard time saying which die I like the best…do know you’ve cost me a lot of money, because after viewing dies you used I had to buy them…LOL!!! Ellen Hutson should pay you a BIG commission, cause I know you must sell a lot of card making supplies for them..God bless you and the beautiful talent He gave you.
Beautiful card and I like your new blog heading.
After seeing all your beautiful scenes probably my favourite are the window dies. Thanks for the chance!
Oh my goodness, there’s so much to like! Your card is FANTASTIC first of all; and it is hard to choose a favorite! I have several Memory Box dies, and love them all!
Of what I see today, that bicycle is fantastic, but I also am loving the grass! I already have clouds, so those two are really standing out for me.
As always, thank you for sharing your outstanding creations!
Hi Kittie, Lovely card, I have just ordered the Vintage Bicycle die from Memory Box after seeing your second card.

Boy, what isn’t there to like about all the Memory Box dies. I have several (not the bumblebees or skep), and would love to have them. At this point, my two favs are the old fashioned bike, and the grand oak tree. I also like Marianne dies,Joy Craft and Spellbinders, and Sizzix. I admit it – I am a die junkie! LOL By the way, I just love the cards you make with the dies. The effort and care you use is so evident and I aspire to be as good as you at making cards with dies. Thanks for this chance. Jamie
Have a great week. http://www.hqew.net
Beautiful card…I have to get a grass die..sigh….I pretty much love all the dies, and seem to have an addiction to them … I have been using my newest ones from Memory Box Princess dress and tulip…but also just bought new IO ones, Cheery Lynn and My Favor Things dies…a girl can never have too many dies!!
Love my memory box dies. I am building up a list of the dies you use as I have been given so many ideas by looking at your work. thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win.
I love the Grand Madison window dies.
All your creations are inspirations to me. I cant tell you how may dies you have inspired me to buy I am loving the new bike, think it would make a nice masculine card.
thank you!
Love all the memory box dies. I think right now I love the window dies. Your cards are always beautiful. Thanks for sharing your talent
Blessings,

Hi, Kittie…I’ve been away for a week, helping my daughter move. It’s wonderful to be back and look at your lovely creations again. This vintage bicycle is just so much fun! I love it! The window dies are probably my favorites, although I’ve yet to see a memory box die that I didn’t love!
I am new to crafting and your site is a real inspiration to me. This card is so simple but very impressive. My favourite die at the moment is the Memory Box Bella Bouquet – but … I am also loving the Lavish Branch – decisions, decisions!!!!!
I love memory dies. I volunteer at a seniors center and teach a class of 11 seniors every Monday.
Their favorite dies is the window die with the window box.
I would love to win the die and be able to make another card for them with the memory die.
Love this card, Kittie. I think that my favourite new die is the fresh foliage – I’ve been inspired by your use of this die and it is definitely on my wish list.
Hi Kittie,
My favourites having just celebrated easter have been The Woven Basket from “My Favourite Things” and the Rabbits from “Impression Obsession” but the one I love to use often is Beautiful Bows from “My Favourite Things. It makes such wonderful bows.

Hi Kittie,
I love memory box & Cottage Cutz dies…my collection is growing slowly. Would love to win bumble bee set to make that fab card with the vines!
Hope you had an enjoyable Easter! The snow in Wisconsin is just about gone…can’t wait for warmer temps!
My fav would have to be my two newest…Dogwood Blossom Outline and Dogwood Blossom. My next fav would be the Falana Circle….so pretty.
Like your new format…nice.
I love this bike Kittie and great scene you created with this.
My favorite new dies is the memory box Victorian Frame set.
Hi Kittie, I have just purchased the IO grass and Memory box grass boarders. I think they will compliment each other. I just love the ways you use them in your cards and can’t wait to make a spring card (yikes we just had a bit of snow last night!) Barb
I love those old bikes but I would be afraid to ride one. I am a bit of a klutz. 🙂 All I have are SB dies but my fave is Labels One. I think I am wearing it out.
Your creations are all wonderful! I don’t think I’ve ever met a die I didn’t like. lol I love the grass dies and the clouds and . . . all of them!
Beautiful! I don’t have one favorite die…but my favorite dies are Memory Box and IO for sure!
I just bought the Memory Box Hopmeadow Circle, and I love it. I keep checking your blog to see what other Memory Box dies I would like. Love your cards they are gorgeous.
My favorite dies are versatile ones like flourishes or frames, but I also LOVE the bicycle die by Memory Box and the vines and leaves by IO! Would really love to win this beehive and bee die set!
What an amazing design Kittie! Love the bicycle!
Oh my Gosh! I love the Bee Skep and Bees! Would love to win them, but they are on my want list for sure! I have been having a great time playing around with the IO Basket and bunny die sets and stamps! Thanks for all of the inspiration and a chance to win! 🙂
My favorite dies include the Grand Madison Window, window box and shutters. Also the new Spellbinder Radiant dies are wonderful. The new Memory Box grand oak tree is right up there as well.
My favorite die cut is whichever is my newest! Isn’t that awful?? Joanne G. (jojot) enabled me to buy the new Memory Box Tiffany Frame, and it’s a beauty!! Truthfully, I love every one I have!!
Well, it might sound like I’m making this up, but my favorite new dies just might be the bee and skep! A friend of mine at work is throwing a baby shower for another friend. The theme is Bumble Bees. Naturally, she asked me to help make the invitations. I came up with a sample I found from the internet of a cute baby bee punch art, and used a honeycomb background. Adorable! But, she wants to carry the theme onto everything. The bee and skep dies would be the perfect touch! If I’m lucky enough to win the comment lottery, I’ll have use for them immediately!
Your cards are always amazing, and thank you so much for offering up the bee and skep dies! My favorite dies are anything from nature so I would use these often!
I thoroughly enjoy your blog and your inspirational pieces have cost me alot of money, spent on Memory Box dies! I think I love the clouds the most but I also love the window die…so versatile!

I love the madison window dies. Your cards are beautiful! I would love the chance to win this bee set. There are so many cute dies! I want to order them all.
Memory box and spellbinders were my first dies, i just finished easter cards, and love my two egg dies from memory box. Each of your cards is a like a sculpted work of art. Amazing.
This card just makes me smile. The bike is perfect and it looks so shiny…like brand new. The truth is my favorite new Memory Box dies are the bees and skep…no lie, love them.
I just ordered the nesting birds. Have wanted them for soooo long! Also ordered the circle burst… can’t wait to play with it! Love your creations!
your cards are amazing. I have a few dies, but come to see new stuff from you. we have very few scrapbook stores left here in MN, so the one I go to has dies, but they sell out so quickly. so I have to wait for the stamp conventions when they come into town. I love that bicycle die, I am going to have to get that one. thanks for sharing your talent and love for making cards with us.
I so look forward to your posts…I adore your cards! And I also decide on alot of my dies based on your creations! And this bicycle is a MUST!! My favorite image dies are definitely from Memory Box. They come up with the cutest ideas! I have a variety of different manufacturer dies as well (Spellbinders, SSS, Lifestyle Crafts, Marianne, Cheery Lynn…) I would love to win the beehive and bees….hard to believe I dont have them, as cute as they are!!
My sister-in-law was kind in getting me the Memory box die Vivienne Butterfly. Oh it makes the most gorgeous butterflies!!It is my favorite right now!!
Your cards are always so amazing! Love all the special details you add to make the card so beautiful!
I have quite a few dies. The Memory Box ones are some of my favorites! I’d have to pick the beautiful Memory Box snowflake wreath die as my very favorite! It is so intricate, but cuts beautifully!
Hi Kitty, I have you to thank for introducing me to Memory Box dies. I admire your nature-themed cards so much. It’s my eye candy break.
Hi Kittie,
I would like to take the time to tell you that you are an inspiration to me! Thank you for posting your beautiful cards for all to enjoy. As to my favorite dies, Memory Box is my all time favorite. Currently though, the Impression Obsession Bunny dies are my favorite. They are so cute!
It is really difficult to pick a “favorite” die. I think the butterfly delights from Memory Box has to be in the top 5. Not only do you get a LOT of small butterflies, but using the negarive space on the front of a card is an easy card to make.
I love all my dies but especially the Bella Bouquet..I have made so many beautiful cards with it..I also like the small butterflies..I use them all the time to fill in spaces that just need a touch of something cute..I really enjoy your site & look at it everyday..You have given me so many great ideas for cards..thanks also for steering me to the Ellen Hudson site..they are so great to order from & I get my orders in just a couple of days..Keep doing what you do..you’re great..I would love to win the Bee skep & bees..thanks for the opportunity..
Oh Kittie! I just love this bicycle die – Seeing it in this read against the white just makes me want to have it NOW! I do not have any Memory Box dies but would love to give this bicycle and the Window Dies a try. What beautiful projects you have made with these. Also, that grass die is on my list – haven’t seen one I like better yet. I must get these on my ordered list!!!
Love your bicycle card. I seem to favor MB dies. My favorites are Puffy Clouds and the Vivienne butterfly. Thanks for sharing such a great blog.
Hi Kittie! I have fallen in love with dies as of late. I use them in my cards often. My favorites lately have been the Memory Box window die, window box die and the sitting cat die. Thank you for the opportunity to win the bees and bee skep dies.
Oh how I love dies! Can’t pick a favorite but can narrow it down to 2, memory box of course and paper trey ink. Your cards are always such an inspiration. Thank you
Great card!! I actually just received my very first Memory Box dies in the mail on Saturday so at the moment my favorite die is the needle and thread die I just got because my mom was a seamstress and it reminds me of her. I also love all of my Spellbinders and Sizzix dies. I just love dies! LOL!!
My favorite new MB die is Resting Birds – they look great when added to a tree. I have several MB dies and use them all a great deal ! Thanks for a chance to win a couple more !
My favorite die is the Grand Madison Window. I enjoy your cards so very much, is like a special surprise each time. Would love to win the bee and skep die, reminds me so much of my Dad years ago when he spent so much time working with his bee hives.
I’m relatively new to using dies. All I have ae Spellbinders right now. Would love to branch out and try different ones. I love the cards you make especially since most are made without any coloring needed. If I had to choose a die for a fave, I’d choose the tree and the bunnies you’ve been using lately. Thanks for sharing your work. It is really wonderful!
my favorite die is the 3 bunnies umbrella, grass twiggy tree and trio deer dies. but my most favorite one is the tree I just ordered. they are all awesome. can’t wait to get them. patti
Actually, I just ordered and received this antique bicycle. It arrived on Saturday and then you did this wonderful idea on Sunday…. Perfect timing is an understatement…. I think of all the die’s I’ve purchased, the stained glass window is my favorite. That was as of January. I had beautiful Christmas cards. Course I love the 3 bunnies and I have both kitty’s. I guess I just love them all… I’m addicted for sure! Thank you for the opportunity to win something new….
I look forward to your blog everyday to see your latest projects. The inspiration you using the dies to make beautiful scenes is wonderful. Thank you for a chance to win this set of dies.
I recently inherited a box of very old photographs of relatives and there are a few of a distant relative sitting on a bike similar to your card. I love it!
I just love, love my window die. It has so many options to play around with. Plus I am so inspire by how you’ve used them. I haven’t been able to use any of my dies for about a year due to trigger surgery. But I’m ready to start cranking my Big Shot once again. I’d be so happy to start with one of the pretty dies you have up for grabs! Thanks for the chance.
This is a stunning card Kittie – the pennyfarthing has such a major vintage feel to it! I think my favorite Memory Box die is the Elegant Scrollwork die. LOVE your work!
I love your cards, my favorite dies are the Vivienne butterfly from Memory Box and the Lr0240 Creatable Large oval from Marianne Design
Beautiful card as always. Of course, every time I see one of your cards, I want to get the dies to make one!
I love insects so naturally I love the bees! They come to my garden to pollenate every year but unfortunately I see less and less every year. I do love the new bees die; it would be so versatile!
Thanks
I love all the dies! If I had to pick a favorite it would be the madison window die. Looking at your wonderful cards makes me want every single die! I’m loving that antique bicycle! my next die purchase (if I only get one)will be the baby carriage.
Beautiful card. I wasn’t really inspired by the bicycle die until now. I have a huge collection of MB dies, mostly inspired by you. Thank you for all your wonderful ideas. I think my favorite new die is the Bella Bouquet.
I found you on Pinterst and have loved what you do with your cards. I have never seen such beautifull dies. A must have for me.
Thank you for a chance at blog candy. I think the new flower minis are going to be my favorite dies. I love anything with flowers and trees, that is why I just love looking at all of your art. Love all of your art!
I only own the Memory Box cloud dies, but I love to use my crafting partners dies. Thanks for the chance to win. Love your cards as always.
Love how you stimulate my imagination with your great cards! What an inspiration.
Kitty: I love your blog. I always look forward to getting your e-mails to see what you have created. All your cards and projects are so beautiful. You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your talents.
OOPS, I forgot to tell you about my favorite new dies. I love ALL the Memory Box dies. Because you are such an inspiration, I have bought many of the dies that you use. I love the new Grand Oak Tree and I just bought the Bella Bouquet. Now I will buy the new fence.
Hi Kittie –
I know you hear this all the time; however, I just wanted to tell you how EXCITED I get when I see your daily email in my In-Box. I LOVE seeing your work. You are so talented. Thanks so much for sharing all of your talent. I would love to win the darling Skep & Bees – thanks for entering me.
I LOVE the bee dies for many reason, but the best reason is the fact my grandkids call me Bee! I put Bees on everything cards, scrapbooks and party favors and I know they sure would look cute!
My newest die is one from Impression Obsession. It’s the one that’s an egg and a chick. I used it to make Easter cards for my grandkids.
I just used a Wonderful Words Die from Papertrey Ink…I loved cutting out out 3 times and using my xyron to make it look like chipboard letters.
Since I have discovered your post I fell in love with the dies you use and I have bought many. Depending on the kind of cards I make I love the Deer Trio from MB and the Blooming Poinsettia from Poppystamps for Christmas cards. But I also love the Madison Window and Flower Box also from Poppystamps. Thank you for your post, you are a great inspiration.
I absolutely love my new doily style die. I forget the correct name, but it is so lacey and beautiful!
As usual you always knock my socks off with your beautiful creations, Kittie. I’ve been trying to decide which label dies to order. I like to stamp my sentiments on small labels on my cards. The vintage bicycle you used looks interesting though. I might like to try some handwritten word dies too. Thnks for a chance to win.
I just found a store about 1-1/2 hours away that has Memory Box dies and lots of others I have only seen on the internet. It was such fun to touch them and browse through them. I got the Grand Oak Tree and Small Umbrella which I have been wanting. My next trip I am getting the bicycle. Love your cards!
Китти, привет! Мне очень нравятся Memori Box. Я ими часто пользуюсь. Я вам присылала свои работы С Новым годом и ваша похвала воодушевила меня на новые творения. Мое утро начинается с просмотра вашего блога и чашечки кофе. И то , и другое мне доставляет огромное удовольствие. Ваша конфетка очень сладкая, я хочу ее выиграть
