December 28, 2018December 28, 2018 Pam Sparks7 Comments

What a fun thing to wake up to this a.m.! Made me blog! lol Fortunately I still have some pictures of our grandson Leo’s birthday card that I haven’t posted yet and I used Simon Says Stamp Brand dies for it! YAY! Click on the ad to shop, it’s an affiliate link. Thank you for clicking from here! ❤

Ranger products are also 25% off and there’s even more crazy, amazing sales HERE! A lot of stuff 99 cents! HURRY!

This pup is so cute! 2018 was the year of dogs for our family! 3 Standard Poodles and 1 Doodle added to the 3 daughter’s families! Ambitious girls! lol

So this card for Leo, the pup had to be black. 😀

I used two of the new Big Picture dies… I’ll link them below and an old Quickutz number die for the 5. The sentiment is from a MFT stamp set. I’ll try to find it to link to also. Oh, I cut an extra body and used the legs for paws too! 😀

Two close ups and I gotta run shop too! lol

I layered up the eyes and nose 5 or so times to get them to stand out against the black. I punched the white part of the eye.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Here’s to a wonderful week after Christmas of relaxing and papercrafting! I finally started something yesterday. lol

Memory Box Poinsettia Circle Frame and Nativity Circle…

December 16, 2018December 16, 2018 Pam Sparks14 Comments

It was a Holy Night…this card…was a challenge but nothing compared to what Mary and Joseph faced! A beautiful reminder of what Christmas is all about!

I painted the die cuts with Gansai Tambi watercolors and metallics. Layered them together and placed them on a red glitter die cut circle. A little gold stickles for the centers.

The sentiment is from the Bold Holiday Greetings stamp set, stamped in Ranger Archival Black ink with the MISTI.

I hope you’ve had a beautiful season of creating Christmas cards…hard to believe we’re closing in on the month of December already! I could make Christmas cards all year!

Thank you for supporting me and my blog and God bless you all! P.S. Shopping links in my right sidebar…

December 13, 2018 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! December birthdays must go on! We have three this month…our oldest daughter was born Christmas Day, then two grandsons, one the 3rd and one the 16th. So fun and this card just makes me HAPPY! So cute! I used some Hello Bluebird stamps and dies.

I stamped on Copic X-press it card and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. A little white gel pen when I was finished coloring.

Oh, it’s a happy celebration here! My granddaughter Lizzie asked me which critter the party was for? Then she decided it was the beaver! hehe So cute!

The cake looks good. yum!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope the prep is going well for you… I kinda feel like I’m spinning my tires on ice but I’m banking on getting there! hoho

Take care!

poppystamps Seed Snowflake Joy Card…

December 6, 2018December 17, 2018 Pam Sparks27 Comments

It’s a candy cane JOY today! Using poppystamps Seed Snowflake Joy die, Tidings of Joy stamp set, twine and white and red cardstock!

I placed a strip of red on the white card base, then mounted the die cut white panel with foam tape to the red strip.

For the candy cane stripe, I cut strips of red and white cardstock with my paper trimmer, covered a piece of copy paper with tape and placed the strips alternating colors over the tape diagonally. Then I die cut the J and Y from that piece. I used glue and stuck them down flat inside the negative cut in the Seed Snowflake Joy panel.
