Spellbinders Stencil of the Month Club Card…

February 15, 2024February 14, 2024 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hello! Welcome to my post for the Spellbinders NEW Stencil of the Month Club! This month is a variety of stencils and I just used one of them!

On Neenah Classic Crest Solar White I inkblended with Peacock Feathers, Shaded Lilac, Peeled Paint and a little Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink and ink blending brushes.

Spattered on some water droplets and then white drawing ink.

Next I hot foiled a sentiment to vellum in Silver but it didn’t show up as good as I thought it should so I put a strip of green cardstock behind it. I taped the green strip down, then wrapped the vellum strip around to the back of a panel so I didn’t have to use any glue or tape on the front.

I used a little white gel pen on the Be Bold Blooms die cut flowers. Simple flower arranging…

Fun to have another card for the stash!

Thank you so much for stopping by! The sun is shining and making me sleepy! lol Talk to you again soon!

Simon Says Stamp House Border Frame and Doodlebug Designs Happy Home Card…

January 20, 2024 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! I just got this NEW House Border Frame just in time to make and give away!

I stamped a little outdoor scene with Happy Home stamp set from Doodlebug Design and did some sloppy Copic coloring!

The little roof sections are a separate die so that’s nice and adds a little dimension. I die cut them in black and glued them on.

Welcome to the neighborhood is from the stamp set also.

Spring is coming, right?! lol A person can always think Spring no matter that it’s below zero in polar Iowa right now! lol

I used a dot paper from Hobby Lobby and the stripe from My Favorite Things.

The banner die is from poppystamps.

It’s an A2 size card. Delivered with a loaf of homemade bread! yay!

Happy weekend to you and thank you so much for stopping by!

NEW Memory Box Cards…

January 17, 2024January 22, 2024 Pam Sparks16 Comments

Hello! I’m enjoying the sunshine today! It really warms up the house…thankful for that in this below zero weather we’ve been having!

Meanwhile flowers are growing in my stamp room!

Two cards to share with you today…NEW dies and NEW papers!

I inked up the NEW Blooming Anemone and NEW Elegant Anemone dies with Distress Ink and the mini blending tools. I die cut the florals from Bristol cardstock and used Peacock Feathers and Pine Needles Distress Inks.

Two NEW 6×6 paper pads from Memory Box, Anemone Plaid and Anemone Grove.

I made this card base a mini slimline size. I do love this size…just something charming about it with the florals, inking and plaid. Wish I could show it to you in person!

The florals are so easy to put together. I love that. I just follow the pattern on the envelope by laying the pieces on top of the picture!

Oh, the greens I used for the stems and leaves…Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Ink.

I used a poppystamps sentiment from the Modest Greetings 1 hot foil and cut die set. Spellbinders gold hot foil.

Taylored Expressions Cardstock… I’ll link below.

The ribbon rolls in my photos are HERE…

Linking this card to some challenges…

Triple B January 2024 Challenge – Blooms

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Let’s Have Some Fun!

NBUS Challenge #58 – Never Before Used Stuff!

Next card…

A NEW hot foild plate, Rectangle Dot Border. I love how it looks like a faux spotlight!

I used the NEW Happy Birthday Debut Script die cut from the NEW Anemone Grove 6×6 paper pad, tone on tone piece that I used for the background panel. For the Happy Birthday Debut Script backer, I used plaid from the NEW Anemone Plaid 6×6 paper pad.

I die cut a rectangle of vellum to fit inside the hot foil frame using the Rectangle Basics die set.

Everything is layered on an A2 White cardbase.

Three Doodlebug Design enamel dots for a little something!

I mounted the sentiment with the thin mounting tape I love, to the vellum panel first so I’d know where I could put glue on the back of the vellum to adhere it to the purple pattern paper.

Linking my Happy Birthday card to a new challenge! Check it out!

Word Power #1 – a challenge using sentiments as the focus

That’s pretty much it! Holler if you have any questions! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Links to what I used to make these two cards… I added some sentiment stamp sets to the end because I’m always looking for sentiments for the inside so I figure you might be too!

Spellbinders January Stencil of the Month Card…

January 11, 2024January 12, 2024 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hello everyone! I’m starting 2024 with the NEW Spellbinders Stencil of the Month club. Most of the gals have already posted bright floral, pretty cards so I was trying to think of something different and thought ‘go brown’! I’m sure that doesn’t surprise you too much! lol

Want to know how the Spellbinders Clubs work? Click HERE!

So here’s my take on it… I did the stenciling first in Distress inks…Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. Fun! Something therapeutic about inking up layers!

I wanted some words to stamp around it randomly so I went digging through my Spellbinders stash. I found the Kindly Deliver to my and the little envelope in the Parcel & Post Sentiments stamp set. I just used the top part of the stamp.

I found the cancellation lines in the Holiday Hugs Sentiments stamp set.

Then I needed a main sentiment to complete my card! There are sentiments on the stencils but I wanted something raised up. I found this Warm Wishes in the Christmas Die and Glimmer Sentiments set. Wishes is hot foiled and Warm is die cut out of gold mirror cardstock.

I spattered the card with walnut stain distress ink and gold calligraphy ink.

I edged with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and then I went around it with Walnut Stain Distress ink to give it a deeper brown on the very edge.

Layered onto an A2 size dark brown panel and then on to a kraft top fold cardbase.

I have another card to share soon and LOTS of NEW new new from Memory Box! woohoo!

Thank you so much for stopping by and Happy New Year to you!

Spellbinders NEW Stencil Club!

December 29, 2023December 31, 2023 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! Here we are after Christmas and moving right on to the New Year faster that the speed of light!

Have you heard about the NEW Spellbinder stencil of the month club? I’m sure you have cuz I’m late getting my card posted for December and it’s already closed! Usually you can order them a month later though.

This set has four stencils. I used Distress inks and the mini circle Tim Holtz blending tools.

I used Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover and Pine Needles for the greenery. For the heart flowers I put down Kitsch Flamingo first, then some Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral! lol You sure wouldn’t need to use all the pinks/reds! lol

I hated to cover up all the stenciling so I went with a fun hot foiled sentiment from the Spellbinder All Occasion Mailbox Greetings Hot Foil set.

I really like how clean and simple it turned out plus it was fast to make!

It’s an A2 size card and completely mailable! I noticed the post office was running cards through the machines even if they had ‘hand cancel’ and extra postage on them. That is really frustrating. I even received cards that were completely rigid that had been machined. So cardmakers just put a stamp on it and call it good! I even received a pkg that was a stamp set and a die, weighed 1.8 ounces and only had one forever stamp on it and it still came intact and no extra postage envelope wanting me to pay extra! All this technology isn’t speeding things up or accurate! HOHOHO!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I went MIA because I needed to get some house stuff done and be ready with gifts and 27 ppl on Christmas Eve day! WOW! Did we have fun! Still smiling about it. I thank God for our family every day! I hope you had a blessed Christmas too. Talk to you again soon!
