Flashback…

Pam Sparks11 Comments

So here’s the scoop for Flashback Friday Challenge Blog…**first card you have posted with a window cut into the front of the card** I found this in my Splitcoast Stampers Gallery,  I made it for Christmas 2007.   yipes,  where does the time go!  I know I got the idea from someone online but I sure don’t remember where now!  If it was you,  THANKS!  I loved the inspiration!  This is not the first card I ever made with a window cut in the front… I’ve been stamping since April of 1994,  so it’s impossible to remember that first one! For me that is!!! lol

HERE is my card in my SCS gallery.  Wish I had a picture of the inside but I can’t find one. figures.

What a fun challenge blog… I love looking back… have a nice day and see you tomorrow!

I’m Your Angel…

“I’m Your Angel“, one of Bildmalarna’s new images for Spring at All That Scraps.com, HERE.  It’s feeling like it could be Spring here soon!  Love days like today… around 53˚!  Not to cold and not hot either!  Today was our monthly stamp club meeting and the swap was to create a card with an extra fold,  so I made an easel card  and envelope with my trusty Martha Stewart Score Board, HERE… love that thing!  I do use an embossing stylus instead of the scoring tool that comes with it though.  I just find it works better.

I inked her up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on PaperTrey Ink Select White card-stock and colored her with Copic Sketch Markers.  Skin E000, 00, 01, diluted R20…Hair E50, 51, YR30, 31…Dress, socks, flower R0000, 81…leaves G20, 40…wings YR30, 31,  didn’t realize I left such a definite outline next to her sleeve.. oops! lol

Fun to work with pastel colors and this new cutie!  The papers are from an old 6×6 pack from Memory Box. The tulip border is a punch from Martha Stewart, HERE,  that I punched and then clipped and formed to fit around the Nestabilities scallop oval…the nestabilities ovals are in the store HERE. I wanted the green scallop to look like grass!  I’m gonna try it again with darker tulips next time!  Finally used my Martha Stewart Vintage Lace border punch too… and Martha’s grass border and butterfly punches too!  A punchy card! ugh!  The sentiment and floral border stamps are from Printworks.  The floral chorus line stamp is HERE and the sentiment is HERE.  Awesome Printworks goodness!

Some Spring Challenges out there I’m linking up to… one here… the Crop Stop Challenge Blog…Stampin’ For the Weekend Challenge Blog is Spring. On the Charisma Cards Challenge Blog the theme is Easel cards.

Hope I didn’t forget anything… just holler if I did!  Have a great weekend and thanks for visiting my blog!

 Tilda is such a cutie!  I’m loving this new collection as I’m sure you are too!!!  I used Tilda With Balloon,  check out the new You Are So Special die collection … You’ll ❤ them too!

I brought out my Distress Ink  palettes again last night… all inspired after watching Dena’s how to videos, HERE.  Fun, THANK YOU Dena!  I enjoyed it!  I’m linking my card up to the Just Magnolia challenge… this week is “anything goes” and I used the sketch from The Sweet Stop Sketches challenge blog.

I also used the Magnolia Doohickey’s dies, Tilda’s Lace and the mini scallop lace.

The pattern papers are from the new 6×6 MME pad Stella Rose, Hazel.    Elongated Rectangle Nestabilites for the shapes… love them!  

Thanks for stopping by!

March Preview Day 2…

Pam Sparks29 Comments

Meet Birthday Gretel!  Isn’t she a doll!  I love her!  The All That Scraps DT gals previewed her yesterday and today we’re showing the two new Birthday sentiments sets by Amy R. The sentiment I used is from the Best Wishes set… a very cool set!

Another new stamp in this release is a BIG Cupcake.  I decided it’d be awesome to make it pop-up when you open the card!  I love it! lol

What it looks like from the side…good thing I don’t have any cupcakes or I’d be wanting one for breakfast today!

I used the new Magnolia Doohickey Rose leaves die, , EK Success retro flower punches in medium and small, a Spellbinders Fancy tag die, 1/8 th in. grosgrain ribbon from Creative Impressions,  Nestabilities Ovals dies, and Hero Arts gemstones.

Gretel and the Big Cupcake were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, on PaperTrey Inc. card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers, … pink – R81, 83, 85 … blue – B0000, 000, 00, 01 … green – YG0000, 00, 01, 03 …brown (hair/cupcake) – E40’s … skin – E0000, 000, 00, R20 (diluted with R00).  I used PaperTrey Inc. Select White Card-stock for the whole card.  All the scoring was done with the Martha Stewart Score Board.

The pattern for the Front Panel Stair Step Card is from one of my posts last year,  HERE.  The inspiration for my card being all white is from Marlene’s fabulous blog, HERE.

Over on the Papertake Weekly Challenge, HERE, the theme is Anything Goes with an option of “old” so I’m linking up…my old is the EK Success Retro flower punches.

Here’s Gretel again to say good-bye for now!
