Lawn Fawn On the Beach Birthday Card….

July 10, 2020July 10, 2020 Pam Sparks8 Comments

It’s Friday and somebody’s birthday somewhere! haha This card was for a grandson that has a hammock in the backyard and loves it! As close to a beach as you can get in Iowa! lol

Some faux sand and water on this card but the sky is real! We’ve had some beautiful blue skies the last month. I inked them all with Distress Oxide inks. I haven’t figured out the trick to doing spatters over oxide inks, to keep the spatters smallish. I even let the ink dry before I spattered. The kinda black spots were Hero Arts liquid watercolor paint, I’ll have to try something else for black next time. If you have a good black method, let me know! Holler if you want to know what colors I used and I”ll try to remember.

So fun… the ‘shades’!

Here’s what I used… shopping links in the right sidebar if you want to look for these products at Scrapbook.com (15% off cardmaking supplies today) or Simon Says Stamp. Thank you! I appreciate it! I have stamp club today and I’m almost ready…I made some card kits for the gals to make up. It’ll be fun but there went my time! hehe

It feels good to be using some of the stash! So I challenge you to make a card with your stash before you go shopping! I have two more birthday cards to show and I’m working on a poppystamps Christmas card! It’s really turning out cool, if I do say so myself so stay tuned! ttul!

Boy Birthday Card with Lawn Fawn’s Pivot Pop Up Die and Waffleflower Batter Stamp Set…

July 8, 2020July 8, 2020 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone! Back with another boy birthday card! I saw the idea for this card on a fb group. I bought a cut file from the Silhouette store for the front. I cut it on my Scan and Cut machine.

I used a combination of Waffleflower stamps and Lawn Fawn stamps for the sentiments. The cute ball players are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

The pivot pop up card mechanism die is from Lawn Fawn.

The cloud is the smaller of the Memory Box Marshmallow cloud set. The hill border from Lawn Fawn.

I’ve always loved silhouettes… so fun to be able to cut my own!

A couple more inside shots and then a video of how it works….

These pattern papers are from my stash. Oldies but perfect for this, from Lasting Impressions for Paper.

Linking up to the SSS Wednesday Moving Parts Challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by to see this Summer card! It was a shame the boys didn’t get to play this year. I’ll link up what I used below.

Lawn Fawn Fishing Birthday Card…

July 6, 2020July 6, 2020 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Happy Summer Monday to you! Family birthday card show and tell time again!

This one is for a boy that loves to fish and pretty much most things outdoors! Lawn Fawn stamps and dies except for the cattails… they’re from Hello Bluebird.

I inked the mountains with Espresso oxide ink and barely on the dirt borders. The pond is die cut from white and inked with Peacock Feathers I think. The sky is a Rosie’s Roadshow cloud stencil and Tumbled Glass Oxide ink.

Here’s what I used…

Thanks for stopping by! Keep cool! ha!

Simon Says Stamp Release….Send Happiness…3 Cards!

June 29, 2020 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Happy Monday to you! Simon Says Stamp has a new release and they sent me this flower die to play with…I was already doing napkin die cutting so I went ahead and did this new Etched Flower die the same way! Scroll down to THIS post for a link to the technique/how to video.

I stamped the background for the flower die with the tone on tone look and the SSS Damask Background cling stamp. I die cut three panels, a white one, the stamped one and a dark pink one with the SSS Frames die, then inlaid pieces from each and taped them together on the back side. I mounted this panel with Mounting tape.

The sentiment is a stamp from the SSS Sending Sympathy clear stamp set and die cut with the SSS Stitched Rectangles die set. I had to recut it to get it the right size.

The NEW Etched flower die cuts two connected flowers…so I had this single flower left over and parts from the Frames die cuts so I made another card!

The sentiment is also from the Sending Sympathy stamp set. I taped the pieces together on the back side of the panel and used foam mounting tape to mount it to the cardbase.

My third card…I had an idea but this isn’t anywhere near what I was trying to do! lol I like it though! lol

I debated whether to stick with a thank you or make it a sympathy card… it could easy go for any occasion!

There’s the NEW Speckled Egg Distress ink is what I used on the white Etched Flower die cuts this time… peeled paint for the stems.

Memory Box 6×6 pattern paper pad for the three papers.

A thank you stamp and some cotton cord and I stuck it all to a white cardbase.

All three cards are A2 size.

Have fun checking out this new release and thank you for shopping through my links! I appreciate your support so much!

poppystamps Adriana Wreath Card…

June 25, 2020June 25, 2020 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Thank you for clicking over for my post today! I’ve been flipping though the NEW Memory Box 6×6 pattern paper pad…so beautiful and look at these colors!

So I pulled out the NEW poppystamps Adriana Wreath die, die cut it three times with a dark blue green cardstock, glued them together and then wiped on some gold watercolor paint with my finger. Pictures don’t do it justice! 😀

The thank you sentiment is from the Memory Box Wild Rose Stem clear stamp set….I stamped it on a piece of pattern paper from the new pad with Ranger Black Archival Ink and cut it out with the MISTI Cut Align ruler and x-acto knife.

My background pattern paper is die cut with the Memory Box Rectangle Basics die set and layered onto a TE Buttercream Frosting cardstock A2 cardbase. I staged my photo with some Hobby Lobby A2 envelopes.

This card is growing on me…a color combo I wouldn’t normally gravitate toward! I hope you like it too! hehe

Thank you for stopping by! Have fun with your dies and try a different color combo! hehe
