Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Die With Inky Impressions Lili’s Chicks Birthday Card…

August 25, 2018August 25, 2018 Pam Sparks18 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m getting some birthday cards done for July and early August birthdays! I know… we’re behind…it’s been a family upheaval Summer here! I wanted to share this card and a couple more tomorrow and then it’s back to Memory Box and poppystamps! I’m so glad to be getting these cards done though and to the grandkids! They’ve been troopers!

I love using the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel die set. The kids love it too but who wouldn’t! I haven’t made one for an adult yet but I think they’re fun for kids of all ages!

I stamped Inky Impressions stamp Lili’s Chicks on 110# Neenah Solar White cardstock with Memento Black Ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. This card is for our granddaughter Genevieve, we call her Gena. She loves her chicks, chickens, kittens and dogs! and her Grandma! haha

It’s been fun to spend some time coloring. I used to color these images a lot… if you look in the Inky Impressions category over on the sidebar, it’ll take you to some of my other cards from years ago when I was on the Inky Impressions Design Team a couple times. Some of my favorite cards!

You can find the Inky Impressions images on ebay … their online store isn’t open anymore.

Waffle Flower Sandy Toes, Neat and Tangled Hello Summer Card…

August 9, 2018 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! Switching it up completely today with a Summer birthday card. When I saw this Waffle Flower Sandy Toes stamp set I HAD to have it cuz it’s so much like our kids boating and swimming. Then I saw Channin’s video using this set and I was thrilled with her card and wanted to sit down and make it right away! I didn’t have the paints she used at the time and used Oxide inks instead. Excuse to go shopping, which I did, but then life happened and I just finally finished this up with the sentiments and gluing it together yesterday. Thank you so much Channin!

How triumphant this flippin’ flip flop guy is that it’s Summer! (I don’t like hot and humid, so just send me pictures of the fun, thank you! lol)

I painted the characters with Zig Clean Color Brush markers on watercolor paper. Contrary to most that love painting on Bristol with these, I prefer coldpress watercolor paper, figures huh. lol

Such fun… this card just makes a person celebrate living, you know! I’m trying to learn…Summer is a state of mind. haha hehe

This is an A2 size card and will be a very belated birthday card.

Linking up below to what I used and thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of this fleeting Summer! I feel like the year is dashing by at warp speed, whatever that is! Where’s the time to feel the sand between your toes, I gotta make cards! haha

poppystamps Tall Sketch Daisies Card…

July 25, 2018July 25, 2018 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi awesome cardmakers and friends! I started out with the new poppystamps Tall Sketch Daisies and of course I needed words to go along… the new Memory Bos Awesome Jotted Script fit the bill! The cut apart clear stamped and embossed accessory sentiments came from the poppystamps Sentiments of Hello clear stamp set.

Here’s a side view and you can see I popped up the flower heads with a little foam mounting tape, the words too.

The pattern paper piece is from Carta Bella, the Spring Market 6×6 paper pad. The die cut frame is from poppystamps Double Stitch Rectangle Frames. I like it a lot!

A close up of the top… a little white gel pen detail here and there. A few matte enamel dots…

Close up of the bottom… I love this scripty fun font!

An A2 card, easy to mail, yay!

Thanks for stopping by! It’s a beautiful Summer week right now. Scary storm last Thursday, Tornado 15 miles from us and up closer to Des Moines too.

Take care and I’ll be back soon!

Memory Box Astro Suit and Starry Sky Border Dies Card…

July 17, 2018 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m kinda late getting in on the galaxy background trend! One of our granddaughters made this one for me one day when she was over playing with Color Burst Powders! So fun she made me one to use! You know how it is parting with stuff you make sometimes! 😀

This little Astro Suit die makes up so cute. I kinda got carried away with silver embossing powder… I really like the card though. A lot of silver but it gets the message across! You are a star, in case you didn’t know that! haha

I did add some of the clear Goosebumps Spray, I’ll link it up below if I can find it somewhere. Mirror card for the die cut Deep Space Planets that he’s standing on and the Starry Sky Border die cut into the Galaxy Background watercolor piece.

The Border die is the Double Stitch Rectangle Frames die from poppystamps.

I die cut the flesh in card-stock and a piece of acetate. Adhered them together with a squish of Ranger Glossy Accents.

Some spatters of Heidi Swapp Gold Spray and I finally quit! hehe

Not my usual card making style but fun and I’m sure I’ll use it at some point…everyone needs to know they are a star!

Thanks for stopping by! and thanks Lilli for the background! Happy soaking up the sun to you!

Forget Me Not Blooms with Everglade Collage Hello Card…

July 12, 2018 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hellooooooo! I didn’t melt off the face of the earth! It’s hot and humid here though.. I easy could! lol

A clean and simple card to share with you today… I fell in love with this Forget Me Not Blooms die when I saw it made up… so whimsical and cute! I bought the flower pots too but they didn’t make it on this card. Next time!

A really straight forward card. I used thin mounting tape from Starlit Studio (link in the sidebar) to adhere the top panel to the kraft cardstock A2 size card base.

Flowers (available at Starlit Studio also) were die cut and mounted with a few pieces of mounting tape that I cut to fit…just random pieces, not a lot.

I cut the strips with a Tim Holtz Tonic trimmer and stapled them together with the Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher.
