Spellbinders Copperplate Happy Anniversary Card…

July 15, 2025 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

Spellbinders Stencil of the Month Club and Fresh Picked Angel Trumpets Card…

May 23, 2024May 23, 2024 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! New products from Spellbinders to share with you today! The stencil of the month club is so fun! You can find the details HERE…

I used two Distress Oxide colors, Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio and ink blending brushes on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I trimmed the finished panel down to A2 size. I love it but then I pretty much covered it up! lol

This Fresh Picked Die Collection from Spellbinders is so fun too!

I die cut in color cardstock and then inked in the same two colors I used for the background.

Glued them together and mounted them on the stencil panel with the thin mounting tape I love.

I’m getting a new dishwasher as I’m writing this post. eek! I keep wondering how it’s going and wondering about the noises! lol Excited to get a quiet dishwasher though!!!

I used the Spellbinders Let’s Celebrate Sentiments BetterPress plate and die set but I used it with Silver Hot foil! Worked great! So many sentiments and messages in this set from Yana!

I hope you enjoyed my card and take a look at these new products.

You can still sign up for the May Stencil of the month Club til the 27th! Details HERE.

I’ll link you to everything below.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

A Sweet Alexandra Renke Children Pair Valentine…

February 6, 2019February 14, 2019 Pam Sparks15 Comments

Hi everyone! Hope your February is full of red cardstock, dies, stamps and papercrafting stuff! lol I purchased two packs of this Be Loved pattern paper a year ago or was it two years and I’m still on the first pack! EEK! Hey, the 2nd pack might be vintage someday! hehe

It worked up so cute with this sweet die from Alexandra Renke called ‘Children Pair’. It was hard to type that because that is not how I would title something! lol

Cindy at Starlitstudio.net has an amazing selection of Alexandra Renke dies, papers and washi tape… oh I love them ALL! If you haven’t already ‘window’ shopped there, you NEED to! ❤

I die cut three of the kids and glued them together.

Did any of you see the new product that’s coming out in March? It’s called a glue sponge!!! Well, I couldn’t wait and had to try it myself. I know, you’re not surprised. I will buy the ‘real’ thing too. Anyway, I used one of the small snap type, airtight, lunch box containers and a sponge. I wet the sponge with our RO filtered water, squeezed it out really good, then applied a few coats of PVA glue that Cindy carries in her store HERE and I love this glue. It didn’t take near as much as I thought it would!

Yesterday two of our grandsons were making Valentines here and wow did it work slick for gluing small hearts to their cards. Good for their motor skills using a tweezers too. lol I can’t wait to use it for more intricate dies! YAY for tools!

Heart die HERE.

A super simple flat Valentine but sweet as can be! Hope I inspired you to dig into that pattern paper stash and see what you can come up with!

poppystamps cards…Whittle Snowman and Another Ribbon Heart Frame…

January 25, 2019January 29, 2019 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! I guess I wasn’t finished playing with the new poppystamps Ribbon Heart Sidekick Frame die! lol Here’s another one and I added the poppystamps Birch Stitched Frame from the last release of 2018.

The tree needed hearts! YES!

Give this to your favorite lumberjack! haha

I used various heart dies for the layers. The new Love Jotted Script die works out fun here and a sentiment stamped from the Best Life Typewriter Sentiment stamp set.

The red is redder in real life. I forgot to notice when I was editing the pictures. Not sure what I would’ve done different anyway! lol

Linking my Valentine ‘love’ card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Have a Heart

My next card isn’t a Valentine but it could be! I added a heart for good measure.

This picture captures the color the best and shows the touch of dimension I added by mounting the new poppystamps Whittle Snowman with foam tape. I layered 3 of the Whittle Wood Frames together and layered a white cut and a green cut of the poppystamps Tree Line Hill die. I colored his cap with Copics!

A sweet thank you, from the Best Life Typewriter Sentiments set, stamped in Coffee Archival ink from Ranger. The frame and card base are ink blended with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and the mini ink blending tool.

I think the Studio Rectangle Layers and Shaker Rectangle Frames dies are discontinued but just for a heads up, that’s what I used for the layers.

It just dawned on me that this snowman thank you would be a good Valentine for our mail carrier! She’s grrrrreat! (and it’s 3˚ here today! eek!)

I have some other cards started so I’ll leave you with this for now and be back to share again later! ❤

Happy papercrafting to you!

Memory Box Scrollwork Heart Circle Frame…3 Cards

January 11, 2019January 11, 2019 Pam Sparks13 Comments

I do love hearts and it was so fun to use pink, green and kraft with this new Memory Box Scrollwork Heart Circle Frame die!

A 4 ¼ inch square card again…fits A2 or A6 envelopes for easy, one postage stamp mailing.

Mounting tape behind the hearts and the lace element make it easy to hold the pieces in place and adhere to the card base.

The sentiment is another from the new poppystamps Love and Friendship stamp set!

Next…

There has to be Cupids around shooting ppl with arrows for it to be love, right?! lol

Same Scrollwork Heart Circle Frame die on an A2 size card but I added the new MB Cupid Circle die in the center and the arrow from the new Cupid with Bow die at the bottom. I love this little arrow! It gets the ‘point’ across! lol

Traditional colors but the dot paper is more of a gray… fun!

The ‘love you’ sentiment is from the new MB Best Life Typewriter Sentiments stamp set. I love the variety in this set. Something for every occasion!

Next…

A shape card! Using the Basic Circles die set, I turned this one into a circle card!

YES! Be Mine Valentine! ❤

Such Fun! I hope you get some new stamps and dies with your Christmas gift money and get to playing on this fine Winter day! Our stamp club meets this afternoon so I have plenty of ‘show and tell’! lol

Take card (edited to ‘care’ I mean! lol) and I’ll talk to you again soon! Thanks for letting me show and tell!
