No card…a cold! ugh!

Pam Sparks25 Comments

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!

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
