Simon Says Stamp… STAMPtember!!!

Pam Sparks4 Comments

Hi everyone!  Back to stamping and color pencil coloring. Fall images are so fun to color!  Bring on the brown, orange, green and gold!

I used the NEW Pumpkin Blessings stamp set from Simon Says Stamp and the STAMPtember release.  I said this on my last SSS post and here I am saying it again.  I love how Simon Says Stamp stamps stamp!  I used the MISTI.  Stamping is so sharp/crisp!

There are dies to go with the stamp set and they’re detabbed!  I don’t have them but you have the choice to order the combo or the stamps just by themself.

I used a Simon Says Stamp embossing folder, Margot Tile.  Then just a light touch of ink blending over it with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.

Several options for sentiments in the set!

Have you checked out the release?  AND everyday there is a new release of collaborations!  So fun!  What do you think?  I’ve ordered one day so far but the temptation! lol

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!

Spellbinders Copperplate Happy Anniversary Card…

Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone and happy anniversary to someone somewhere!  A new collection at Spellbinders for the Betterpress machine! Copperplate calligraphy sentiments.  Happy Birthday, Happy Everything, Heartfelt Sympathy and Hope You’re Feeling Better pretty much covers everything!

Here’s a close up of how beautiful this impresses!  I used Silver Delicata ink.  It’s so great that my old ink pads work too!

I love it!  At one point I took some classes to attempt to write like this but alas life makes it hard to practice as much as it takes to master it.  I still like to do lettering though!   I guess making cards took up priority! lol

I die cut the panel with one of the dies from the Spellbinders Emerald Cut Labels and Tag die set and mounted it on a 5×7 navy cardstock panel.  Using the Scor-Pal I embossed the corners because it needed something! The card base is A7 size white cardstock.

The flower dies I used are from the Spellbinders Club Blooms set from January of 2023.  Timeless!

A traditional looking, Hallmark size type card!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I have to get started on Christmas in July!  How are you doing?  Anything Christmas yet? hehe

Simon Says Stamp You Are My Favorite Release…

Pam Sparks3 Comments

Hello!  I know… long time no see!  I’m still here! My card today is using products from the last two Simon Says Stamp releases.  You Are My Favorite and Rain or Shine.  It turned out so fun!

A  5 ½ inch square card.

I heat embossed the NEW Wavy Background with Clear  embossing powder, then ink blended the panel with Distress and Oxide inks to make it look like water.

Birthday and Get Whale sentiments in this cute Get Whale Soon stamp set.

I stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Hammermill cardstock.  I don’t have the die set so I used my Scan n Cut. Then I colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  I forgot to add white gel pen accents though!  I think that would make it the little bit extra!  oops!

I used the thin mounting tape that I love to adhere the images to the card panel.  The little bubbles are glued directly to the panel.

Lots of pictures!  The color is more saturated in real life.

Such cute images! Whales with personality, sure to cheer for any occasion!

I hope this finds you enjoying Spring and all the pretty flowers.  I have hanging baskets on the back porch and ferns on the front porch but we haven’t had much sun yet.  I have some hydrangea bushes that the buds always get frozen off over the Winter or something so they have to start over from the ground up. ugh.  We’ll have lots of buds by the time it freezes again in the Fall!  Crazy!

Check out the new releases!  I’ll link below.

We’re getting ready for a wedding in two weeks!  eek!  So fun!  Our oldest granddaughter is getting married!  I love the shoes I bought to wear! lol

I’ll be posting a wedding card I hope!  I’ll show the tag I made for her shower then too!

take care and ttul!

Spellbinders Little Smiles Collection Card…

Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone!  Cute card to share today!  What a fun set! Paired with Little Smiles Sentiments you can cover a few occasions!

I went with Spellbinders cardstock colors that I had…made a darker pink with a Copic marker and white cardstock.

Basic card… die cut and glue.  I did Betterpress the Sentiments.  So fun… I love this look!

Spellbinders thinks of everything when they create these sets… There’s black pieces to die cut to glue behind the eyes/nose…so easy!

I cut a strip of gray and added the white lines with a gel pen and a ruler.

I used the Nested Postage Labels & Tag set to make the background, then the stitched rectangle in the set to make the panel, then to cut all the background pieces, cloud borders and road.

The cloud border is from the NEW Bundle of Joy set in the Little Smiles Collection.  Links below…   I used it to cut the clouds and the faux look of green hills behind the bunny/car.  I love how it worked up!

Some glitter cardstock for the hub caps and car lights.   I think that’s everything.

Thank you so much for clicking over and have a great week! Cardmaking for me today…family birthday!

Birch Press Design and Freshly Made Sketches…Two Cards…

Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hello everyone!  Two cards to share with you that I made with the same dies!

Basic cards made with dies…no stamps!

Birch Press Design Rosebud Arch Contour Layers die set comes in the cool folder packaging with the color picture insert for how to put the designs together!  It’s so helpful and you don’t have to change anything for storage!  Magnet sheet included!

Birch Press Design Hello Vintage Sentiment die set…I cut from two colors and was able to make two sentiments and throwing away nothing!  YAY! (there are two sizes of this die, I used the smaller one)

I use scor-tape to assemble the hellos, no messy gluing!

I followed the card challenge blog Freshly Made Sketches for this card.   Linking to challenge #675.

Here’s two more pictures of the wreath…

The wreath card is 5 ½ inches square.

I added some gems from the pastel Fairy gems by Memory Box.

I used Memory Box cardstocks and plaid paper.

One more picture of the A2 size card…

Holler if you have any questions!

Thank you so much for stopping by!
