Sweetheart Marci…

January 15, 2011January 28, 2011 Pam Sparks19 Comments

Meet Sweetheart Marci from the NEW Valentine release at La-La Land Crafts, HERE…such a cutie and I LOVE her accordion fold hearts! I just had to stamp “I LUV U” on them!

For my card I used some vintage valentine paper from Hobby Lobby…the new key and heart lock die from CC Designs, HERE, some Martha Stewart Baker’s twine and stamps from two different Tim Holtz stamp sets, LOVE STRUCK and POSTCARD. The punch around the page set called SWEET HEARTS is from Martha Stewart also. I edged all the papers with Vintage Photo Distress ink and the ink blending tool, HERE and HERE. Oh and a little glossy accents, HERE, on her pony tail holders cuz they’re always shiny!

Marci is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Beckett Expression Super-smooth 80# cover card-stock, cut out and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. TIP: I always cut out my images before I color…that way the edges are always colored and no white shows.

Her hair is the E50’s, her jumper the B90’s, the reds are R000, 00, 02, 05, 08.

Check out the Valentine Release at La-La Land Crafts HERE… Sugar ‘n Spice Marci, Amour Luka, Darling Marci and Sweetheart Marci. You’ll ❤ them too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Swiss Pixie Violet with a key…

January 11, 2011January 11, 2011 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Isn’t she just melt your heart cute?! Today the All That Scraps Design Team is showing more creations with the January release Swiss Pixies on the ATS Blog, HERE. I used Swiss Pixie Violet, HERE… Swiss Pixie Key and Lock set, HERE and the Sugarplums stool, HERE.

The heart (from the key and lock set) is stamped randomly on Bazzill card-stock to create the background. I stamped it once, cut it out for the embellishment and added a piece of 1/8th in. Creative Impressions grosgrain ribbon. The border is from a clear stamp border set by Sandylion. The little puffy heart is from K & Co., Smitten was the name of the release but I don’t think they are available anymore. Violet is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Beckett Expression Supersmooth 80# cover Radiance card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers… RV00, 21, 23, 25, 29… I know…the photo doesn’t look like the marker or card-stock color at all! So… I quit looking at the card or I’d still be trying to get a photo to turn out the right colors! ugh! Her skin is E000, 00, 01, 02, her hair is E50, 13, 15, 17, 19 and a little 18. Her shoes and the key are the N grays.

The inside…I used the sentiment from the key and lock set and the new CC Designs Cutters Key and Lock embossing/cutting set… very cool and popular because it’s already out of stock! You can do the little notification email request, HERE so you can get it when it gets back in stock! I used the same card-stock inside…a little closer to the right color in this photo but not really! I tried! lol

It’s a Winter Wonderland here… more Valentines coming up! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the new stamps and dies from All That Scraps! The new Magnolia collection should be arriving soon! Christine set up a new Magnolia forum for us to keep up on the latest… be sure to stop by and if you comment (just say “Hi”), you will receive an email next time someone posts… hopefully it’ll be Christine posting, “they’re here’!!! : )
