Spellbinders Wishing you a Squeaky Clean Day Card….

June 16, 2026June 17, 2026 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! When I saw this die cut set I thought it was so cute! So many fun details but very easy to assemble! I love that Spellbinders has a page on their website for assembly!

Here’s what I used to make this card. The frame die set at the bottom isn’t on the website anymore. I went ahead and used it because I’m sure I’m not the only one with ‘stuff’ that needs used! I bet you have a collection too! lol

Whoever illustrated this set did such a great job! I love it! I’m not sure who I would send cleaning cards to though….what do you think? I think most of us can relate!

The embossing folder for this Shiny New Day Release has such a fun name! Suds and Buds! So cute!

I’m linking my card to the Can You Handle the Pressure Challenge blog. Anything Goes using an embossing folder! (optional twist which I didn’t do)

and to the Die Cut Diva’s Challenge blog…June is anything goes month using die cuts.

and to A Cut Above Challenge blog…anything goes using dies.

and to Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge blog…any occasion.

and to Farm Quest Home Challenge…anything home related goes!

I kept this A2 size.

I used another sentiment from the Shiny New Day Sentiments for the inside. I couldn’t resist making a pile of buckets!

I hope this made you smile! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Garden Pail Bouquet goes Patriotic! 2 cards…

June 10, 2026June 16, 2026 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! A friend was showing me some patriotic ideas and it got my brain to working! I thought, why not use some products I already own! So let’s see what you can come up with too!

I used this set HERE when it first came out. I loved how this card turned out!

So change it up to patriotic colors! After all it’s a celebratory year for the USA! Happy Birthday!

I basically just die cut and glued it up like the picture on the die envelope. I added some splattering and white pen…I had a terrible time deciding whether to add the pen lines!

I used the Happy Birthday from the poppystamps Modest Greetings 1 Foil and cut die set…silver foil. The rectangle die comes with it…nice…no scrounging around for the right size rectangle to die cut it!

I used the Spellbinders Nested Postage Labels and Tag die set for the blue and white background panels.

It’s like a sixteenth of an inch larger (on each side) than an A2 size card. I used the super thin mounting tape I like so well so it’ll still post for one forever stamp.

Linking my Garden Pail Card to some challenges…

Time Out Challenges #315 – Summer and vacation!

Just Us Girls #827 – Summer!

Die Cut Diva’s June – Anything Goes!

The Four Seasons Summer Season – Anything Goes Summer!

A Cut Above June – Anything Goes!

The way this die set is made I ended up with some extra flowers… so I made a clean and simple A2 size card also!

I used the Memory Box Posh Hello hot foil plate in the betterpress letterpress with black ink instead of foiling it! It worked!

The red panel is cut with the Spellbinders postage die set I used above and the tiny scallop border is from poppystamps Scalloped Stitch Frames.

I loved how simply charming it turned out.

When you need a quick note or make it for any occasion in any color!

Spellbinders BIRTHDAY Special Offer for June 2026…

June 3, 2026June 16, 2026 Pam Sparks11 Comments

My first card I made with this cute free die set! Have you heard? Spend $150 and you get this adorable Dragon! I made it up three ways. I think he would’ve been super cute with a grad cap!

This is my second take! I got it finished and looked on the SB website only to find the Sports dies and stamps no longer available! So…. Here are the names of the sets in case you want to try to find them somewhere! All – Star Sentiments STP-209 and Sporting Goods Die set S6-217.

Linking my Birthday Party Time Dragon to some challenges…

Spellbinders Petal Fresh Card…

May 19, 2026May 19, 2026 Pam Sparks4 Comments

Hi everyone! Petal Fresh a NEW die set from Spellbinders…part of the Shiny Day Release. Very fun florals and easy to work with too! YAY!

I don’t remember if I’ve used this Emerald Cut Labels and Tag die set or not but I sure like it. So classy looking!

I was brave and just started gluing flowers and leaves together and stuck them down. I especially love the daisies!

The sentiment I used is from Yana’s Special Sentiments Hot Foil and die cut set. It isn’t available anymore so I linked to other similar type fonts sets.

A pretty basic CAS A2 size card. Will mail for one postage stamp for sure!

Linking to some card challenges…

Triple B: Birds, Butterflies and Blooms – choose one, two or three!

The Four Seasons May Challenge – inspired by Spring!

Aall and Create Birthday Card…

May 16, 2026May 16, 2026 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! I made this birthday card for one of our granddaughters…the set is called ‘Page Turner’! Appropriate for sure! We have a lot of book lovers in the family including me!

I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Hammermill cardstock and colored with Copic Sketch markers.

I see ppl buying Olo markers these days. I haven’t tried any….have you? Curious what the opinions are out there! I’m not tempted to buy anything else though. Maybe if I colored more…

I cut them out with the Scan n Cut. I love this machine for when I don’t have dies. Some days I think I should update it to the newer one that’s quiet but it works so well, I don’t want to take the chance on something new! lol

I used a waffleflower grass cover plate for the background. Die cut in white and inked it green. Then die cut it again with the Aall and Create Stemmed Pouch die.

Links below…

Sentiments are stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink in the MISTI.

Birthday sentiment on the inside….I couldn’t decide how to stamp the belated part though! I suppose I should’ve looked up the set to see if there was an example! lol

I’m linking my card to some challenges…

Well, thank you so much for stopping by again today! I’m having fun using my stash but some of you are probably missing my Memory Box and company cards. Sorry about that. They quit sending product to me to use last year so I’m thinking I’ll just buy once in awhile. I have years and years of cards using their products here on my blog that you can go back and review for inspiration! Just choose the Memory Box category from the choices in the right sidebar.

ttul!
