Chill E. Pinebough and Wish U. Goodcheer…

Pam Sparks22 Comments

Don’t you love cute, cute snowmen with awesome names?!  Four delightful new snowpeople from CC Designs Sweet November line, illustrated by Amy Young, in the store HERE.   Chill E. Pinebough is in for a freezin’ good time on this tag!

Snowman Wish U. Goodcheer is telling us to sparkle!  Both tags have sentiments on them from the new Amy R Stamps Snowman Sayings set.  So FUN! The November release is in the store HERE!

Here’s what I did…

I stamped the snowpeople with Spun Sugar Distress ink on this kraft card-stock.

I shook up the Picket Fence Distress Stain real good,  then dabbed it on in the areas you want to be white.

After the white distress stain was dry,  I inked up the snowman with Versafine Onyx black ink and with my stamp a ma jig, I stamped over the image again.

OK,  I cheated on  Chill E.’s stocking cap,  I painted the stain on those stripes.

The rest is color pencil.

For Wish U.’s hat and scarf, I stamped on another piece of kraft, cut them out and glued them on top, then colored with color pencils.

Tombow Mono Multi glue to hold the vintage glass shard glitter on.

Twig Distress ink on the edges of the tag, applied with the ink blending tool…then Picket Fence Distress Stain dabbed on.

Martha Stewart snowflake punch.  The ribbon is probably May Arts or American Crafts.

Click over to the ATS blog HERE, to see the other two snowpeople…Adorn D. Yard and Dazzle M. Nightly.  Don’t you just love the names… I know… I already said that!  Link up for a chance to win too!

CC Designs November stamps and mitten die will be in the store to purchase tonight at 10 p.m. HERE!

Thanks for coming over another day!!!  Whew!  a big week for blog posting… time for some R & R and a visit to your blog! hehe

‘Tis the Season…

Pam Sparks21 Comments

Birgitta is back and waving hello!  Oh, she’s a doll and so fun to color!  love her outfit and cute shoes!  I stamped her with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Paper Trey Ink select white card-stock and colored her with Copic Sketch markers.  A combo of reds and warm grays to get the color to match the flowers on this pattern paper.   I colored R22 then W2 over the top of that… then R24 and W3 over the top…then E07 and some W5, 7 and 9 for shadows…might be able to skip the R22 and W2 but since I started out that way, I just kept doing all the red that way.   Her hair is E30 first,  then E31,  then E23, 25 and 27.  To get the cream color, I started with E50 then Y23,  then Y21 (because Y23 is lighter than Y21)  and then a little Y26.

CC Designs Swiss Pixies Hello Birgitta is NEW for November!  ‘Tis the Season and warm Winter wishes are too!  Both sentiments are from the NEW Snowman Sayings set… a must have! In the store HERE.   Click on over to the ATS blog to see what the other ATS DT gals created… a fabulous post again today!  A chance to win stamps each day of the previews too!  I started writing the Preview and Review posts for All That Scraps in July.  If you wonder why I disappear now and then,  it’s because I’m up to my ears in composing posts.  I love it though!  I’m honored to work for them and I hope you enjoy them too!

The ribbon I used is from May Arts and the pattern paper is a new line called Simple Stories.  This 6×6 pad is named Generations.  It’s very cool!  The tree square and the frame…all in the pad!

I’m linking my Hello Birgitta Christmas card to the Christmas Inspirations Challenge Blog…the theme is Bows.

See you again tomorrow… day three coming with new stamps from CC Designs Sweet November line!   I love that you come see what I’m up to and I’ll be back to see you all soon!  Have a great day!

ETA – I don’t know why Feedburner sent out another email for this post but this is from Oct. 5th… I’m fine now… the cold was only a few days! So glad for that! Sorry for the crazy update email…the “FOLLOW” at the top of my blog now is from WordPress instead of Feedburner if you want to subscribe via that way and unsub from Feedburner. WordPress is better! The email comes right away and doesn’t do crazy stuff like this! Thanks! Appreciate you stopping by… I do have new posts since this if you want to click the home tab and see new NEWS! ttul! Pam

Merry Christmas to Ewe….

Pam Sparks24 Comments

Look at this super cute new lamb in the Animal Crackers line from CC Designs!  Ornament Ewe and the sentiment Merry Christmas to Ewe are in the store now at All That Scraps.com,  HERE.   I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Beckett Expression Super smooth 80# card-stock… cut it out and added a real life ornament hanger…turned out so cute!  The branch is an old McGill punch but I’m thinking Martha Stewart might have one similar now.  I used the Holly Punch around the page set from Martha Stewart.  The pattern paper is that Authentique Christmas 6×6 pad again… ribbon from my “stuff”.  I threaded the ends through the holly border..they weren’t exactly in the same spot of each side so I left a little end showing on each side…although a bow could’ve been cute… I’m not much of a bow person but I’m working on it now and then!

The October Release is so FUN!  Head over to the ATS blog HERE,  to see the other images the ATS DT gals are showing today!  Some awesome/fun creations!  You will LOVE Laugh Lines Christmas car and Reindeer Lights  AND…drum roll…this Fabulous Christmas Bulbs border die! I haven’t used it on a card yet but I did make up this sample to show off the die… it comes straight but I just glued it on curved a bit…

Isn’t it AWESOME?  I love it!!!!  I cut it out of dark green, then red, blue, yellow, bright green and orange.  Just clipped off the bulbs and stuck them onto the dark green I cut…super easy and fast. A little dot of  Tombow Mono Multi glue right on each bulb of the dark green cut is all it takes! *I’ll throw in a tip here…keep your mono multi glue laying down all the time… comes out better!  I even leave it with the lid off while I’m working… keep the glue cleaned off the tip and you’ll love it!*  Added the little light reflection with a white uniball pen.   I LOVE these old fashioned looking Christmas lights… it’s gonna be one of my favorite dies ever!

Here’s the sample I made for the dies we showed yesterday,  the 5 Point Flower and the Leaves dies…

(I used two of the largest flower on the bottom,  one middle sized and one small)

so pretty!  so much potential!  I know these will be favorites too!  yea!  Thank you Christine!

Thanks for stopping by… I’ll be back tomorrow with a card for the Sweet November part of the Oct. release…see ya then!

The Cutest “Group” EVER!!!

Pam Sparks21 Comments

Time for the October Release and Preview Days at All That Scraps!!!  Christine has illustrated the cutest, sweetest new images for Christmas in her Swiss Pixies line… this one called the “Group” and another “Baby Jesus and Angel”.  You can see the ATS Design Team creations for today on the ATS blog, HERE.  We’re also previewing some of the new dies from CC Designs Cutters line… the 5 Point Flower die and the Leaves die.  I AM SO EXCITED TO HAVE THIS LEAVES DIE!  It is a pair of leaf branches – NOT just ONE but a pair!  I love that I don’t have to flip one over to have it go the other direction!  I told Christine this and she did it for me!!!  and YOU too!  Hurrah!  Two awesome sentiment sets…Amy R Stamps for Christmas!  oooooohhhhh….love how they work together… I used them on this card too!

THE BEST THING is today the whole release is in the store HERE!!!  YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT!  Sorry for yelling in caps but it’s so exciting!!!  You are going to want them all…hehe   The DT will be showing more tomorrow and Wednesday also…I do LOVE Christmas but I think you probably already knew that about me!

Here’s a close up of the 5 Point Flower and Leaves dies…

I colored these images with distress ink refills and used the Christmas pad from Authentique!  Stitched it on the sewing machine,  I use heavier thread so it shows up better.  I drew in the z looking trim on his cap with a copic multiliner pen.

Have a great Monday and have fun lookin’ and shoppin’!   ttul
