Lawn Fawn Fishing Birthday Card…

July 6, 2020July 6, 2020 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Happy Summer Monday to you! Family birthday card show and tell time again!

This one is for a boy that loves to fish and pretty much most things outdoors! Lawn Fawn stamps and dies except for the cattails… they’re from Hello Bluebird.

I inked the mountains with Espresso oxide ink and barely on the dirt borders. The pond is die cut from white and inked with Peacock Feathers I think. The sky is a Rosie’s Roadshow cloud stencil and Tumbled Glass Oxide ink.

Here’s what I used…

Thanks for stopping by! Keep cool! ha!

5 Memory Box Die Cards….

June 12, 2020June 12, 2020 Pam Sparks8 Comments

I’ve been working on cards! This is a long post so keep scrolling!

I wanted to make something cool with this NEW Leafy Tree die… it looks Summery anyway! I also used the NEW Double Stitch Rectangle Cut Out die set… I like it a lot! I die cut the Leafty Tree Frame in TE Peapod cardstock and colored the tree trunk with a dark brown Copic Sketch Marker! It covers the green really well!

The sentiment is from the NEW poppystamps Greeting Basics clear stamp set. So many good sentiments in this set. I’m going to get a lot of use out of it.

I love how the leaves can be embossed with this Leafy Tree Frame die and then inked with a little stamp pad ink. I used TE Peapod ink to match the cardstock. The background is Tumbled Glass Oxide ink brushed on to a Toffee/kraft piece of cardstock…same as the card front. I like the look it gave as compared to using it on white.

The next card…same dies… but I cut the Leafy Tree Frame in Brown, then in a scrap of green and trimmed off the frame and trunk parts..

Sentiment from the same poppystamps set…

Next I played with the NEW Birthday Cursive Script Circle…

This card is greener IRL… the pictures turned out more blue… it looks ‘beachy’ here! lol I think I might have to switch back to east windows for Summer pictures.

I used the NEW Stylish Rectangle Trio die and the NEW Birthday Cursive Script Circle for this card and inlaid them both in the card panel that I pieced together with three Bazzill Card Shoppe cardstocks, HERE.

The happy die was new last year… then some enamel dots and why did this card take me hours! lol I guess that’s pretty normal around here. lol

Next two cards I used the same Birthday circle die, just cut it out from the frame but one is the NEW pattern paper pad Garden Folly, HERE and the other TE cardstocks. I used the NEW Scribble Rose Trio and Background die also.

I’m not sure about these colors at all! I debated even showing the card! lol But here it goes.

I used TE Dijon and Peapod cardstocks and ink pads I know…interesting! lol Taylored Expressions has been so good to tell us what Copic markers match their ink pads and cardstock too! So I colored the die cut with matching Copics!

Oh, I used the NEW Gracious Leaves 3D Embossing folder too! It’s really pretty made up and inked for accent.

This card I cut a circle from the embossed panel and mounted it to the card base with foam mounting tape. The Rose Trio die is recessed a little then… I really like how it looks. The word ‘wishes’ is from the Big and Little Words clear stamp set

I’m gonna stop now before your eyes cross from this crazy variety of cards! lol

Thank you so much for stopping by and scrolling forever! I appreciate it and hope I made you smile!

Memory Box Birthday Rose Corner Shape Card…

June 5, 2020 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! I’ve been coloring with Distress ink refills and water again. So fun… I stamped on watercolor paper…MB has watercolor paper now and I keep forgetting to use it! I have to remember!

I die cut with the coordinating die… then I partial cut into the front of my card base so it’d be a shape card of sorts!

Here’s a look at the inside so you can see.

I stamped the Happy Birthday from the new poppystamps Friendship and Kindness stamp set. This happy birthday is part of a larger sentiment but I cut it apart. just make one cut and so you can fit them back together precisely.

I love how this looks in real life when you open it.

I used Peeled Paint and a teeny bit of Pine Needles, Milled Lavender and a teeny bit of Dusty Concord, Victorian Velvet is the pink, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo for the roses and berries.

I spattered with gold paint. The cardstock is Taylored Expressions Pink Champagne… I’ll link it up below.

An A7 size card that’s light and flat and will mail for one stamp! YAY!

Thank you for stopping by today! Happy stamp shopping… so many NEW good ones to color! Beautiful dies, embossing folders, washi tape and pattern paper too! oh my! hehe

Memory Box Peony Garden Wreath Card…

May 22, 2020May 22, 2020 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! I have a new Memory Box stamp and die set card to share today… just because. Isn’t that a pretty script? It’s hard to believe it’s Memorial Day weekend. It looks like it’ll warm up here but still cloudy. We’re getting anxious for some sunshine! I guess the sunshine today is this bright Picked Raspberry Distress Ink color that I painted with!

I stamped the new wreath on watercolor paper with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Ranger Gold Embossing powder. I die cut with the coordinating die, then I watercolored with regular Distress Ink pad refills. I just put a drop of the refill on my craft mat and pick it up with a wet paintbrush. I did put water on the paper first so it was wet on wet.

I used Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Peeled paint, Peacock Feathers and a little bit of Mowed Lawn ink refills for coloring the wreath.

I die cut white cardstock twice and used that to layer the wreath for a little depth instead of foam mounting tape.

I used Taylored Expressions Confetti Cake cardstock for the background square adhered to a white top fold cardbase. My card is 5 ½ inches square.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have some peonies in your life. I’m glad I had these to color!

Memory Box Happy Puzzle Letters and poppystamps Whittle Monkey Birthday Card…

April 30, 2020 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! Long card today…3 ⅞ x 9…will fit in a #10 business size envelope. These monkeys make me think… you too? Monkeys jumping on the bed! haha

Happy Monkeys! I used the Happy Puzzle Letters from the next to the last release from MB. So cute with this poppystamps Whittle Monkey…the stitched detail makes it so easy to create a CAS card with.

I die cut the Happy die in five colors of Taylored Expressions cardstock and used all the letters by mixing them up and adding white gel pen dots. I die cut five monkeys from TE Toffee cardstock, added a white gel pen dot on their cheeks, then mounted them with foam mounting tape to the card after I glued the Happys on the card front.

I wasn’t picky about what colors I used…a great way to use scraps! A cheerful, fun card! On the inside I stamped ‘birthday’. I forgot to take a picture of it but I’ll link the stamp set the birthday stamp came from below.

This will go to one of our grandkids I’m sure… thank you for stopping by today!

Spring Birthday Card with Distress Ink Coloring…

April 23, 2020 Pam Sparks8 Comments

It’s been some time since I colored with Distress Ink Pad Refills. I got the notion last week or was it the week before?! ugh… time gets away from me. Anyway, I finally finished her over the weekend and finally got some pictures taken to post.

The image is from hÄnglar Wings in Sweden. The stamps I own are unmounted rubber but they do have clear stamps now also! So cute! I stamped her with Ranger Archival ink on Arches Hot Press Watercolor paper.

I color skin with Tattered Rose and Vintage Photo. Her coat and hat are PIcked Raspberry and Dusty Concord. Her jeans are Faded Jeans. Her hair is Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain.

I used a Hello Bluebird die for the tree background. The grass die is from Lawn Fawn. The little leaves are from an old CC Designs die that I cut up and glued on.

The sentiments are from Taylored Expressions Sentiment Strip stamps and die system. Pretty cool and fun messages!

I hope she makes you smile! Thanks for stopping by!

My Favorite Things All Star High Top Birthday Card…

April 16, 2020April 16, 2020 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone! Still catching up with birthday cards! This one was for our granddaughter Lilli! I couldn’t make it exactly like her shoes but I caught one of the patterns anyway! So cute!

Then the sweet daisies from Memory Box. Die cut in white and colored with Copics.

The paper I used for the shoes is an old pattern… really dates me… I think it was the first pattern paper company, Paper Patch…1995 ish! lol

Happy Birthday is from a Taylored Expressions Bold Brushstrokes stamp set that I use a lot for the teen ages. On the inside it says ‘you are totally awesome’ from the same set.

The detail in the High Top die is wonderful! The eyelets look real! So glad they brought this die back. I was able to snag an old set but now everyone can get it!

Thanks for clicking over today! Hope you enjoyed this cute card!
