Hi everyone! An awesome shape card to share with you today! These club sets are so creative and fun! Lots of examples from other cardmakers for inspiration too!

This is all dies! Just cut, glue together and stick to the card!

The perfect Summer day to be underwater! haha The detail is amazing!

Fun to use my white gel pen and white glaze pen for his spots. A few white gel dots on the rocks too.

So much fun to be had playing with Spellbinders monthly kits…you can check them all out HERE.

The other sentiment that will cut into the tag is HI. Nice to have choices!

Spellbinders June 3D Embossing Folder Club of the Month Card…

June 22, 2023 Pam Sparks4 Comments

It’s me again! lol Embossing folders are so much fun! For this one I inked the smooth side with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink, cover it well or like me, I did it three times. It might shift a little, kinda shows in my photos but in real life you don’t see it as much. I didn’t even notice it until after I took pictures!

After embossing I brushed over it with Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink, then some gold rub on stuff then some Peacock Feathers and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink! It was white cardstock to begin with!

I used one of the sentiments from the April Large Die Set of the Month… they kinda look like cookies! lol

Check out all the Spellbinders Club sets of the Month HERE! Holler if you have any questions!

Spellbinders Hello Blooms Stencil and Die Card…

June 8, 2023June 12, 2023 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hello friends and cardmakers! A super fun card to share with you today! Have you tried the new stencils like this? I don’t know why but it’s so satisfying to color in this clean and simple way! Fast too!

I used Distress Oxide inks, Peacock Feathers, Pine Needles, Abandoned Coral, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness and Ground Espresso with blending brushes through the stencil. I cleaned the stencil between colors.

For the background, I ran the A2 size Spellbinders Simply Perfect Florets Embossing Folder through the die cut machine and trimmed it down and matted it with thin mounting tape to an A2 White cardbase. So cute! I love this folder and it matches this floral so well!

I LOVE this script hello die that is included with the coordinating die set! I did it up white on white…pleasing to my eye! lol

I did my coloring through the stencil first but now that I’ve done it once, next time I’m going to die cut a white panel, keep the die cut in the panel, then do the coloring through the stencil so I can get the margins better. I had to do a little trimming after I die cut because the white margin was more in a few places.

I used the large Wendy Vecchi Make Art station to hold things in place.

Memory Box Toolbox 3D Embossing Folder Birthday Card…

June 1, 2023June 1, 2023 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing a card I made with the NEW Memory Box 3D Toolbox 3D Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies.

It’s so neat that you can die cut, then put the cuts into the folder to get all this detail!

I was inspired by Memory Box Dave’s card HERE. It’s such a great design I pretty much copied it!

So fun! Our grandson Rogan’s 9th birthday is today and he’s a great help with work around the house. Of course boys love tools and knives!

I used the Memory Box Wooden Alpha Dies for his name.

Happy Birthday sentiment is white heat embossed on red with the Memory Box Best Life Typewriter Sentiments. It’s from 2019 and doesn’t look like it’s available anymore. This would work also…Banner Greetings.

I used some Silver Foil and Glossy Black cardstocks for tool parts and Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool to age the Memory Box wood grain cardstock and kraft cardstock.

Everything is adhered with the thin mounting tape that I love, linked below, except for the little red happy birthday sentiment.

This card fits in a #10 business size envelope but it’s not as long as the usual slimline card. It’s 3 ¾ in. x 8 ¼ in.

Linking my card to some challenges…

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – anything goes

Can You Handle the Pressure? – Anything goes but must use an embossing folder

Cardz 4 Galz – #200 Slimline Birthday

Papercraft Crew – masculine

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Hope it gets you thinking about man cards we’ll be needing later this month for dad’s too! I have two more family birthdays this month and two gals at stamp club. No slacking on the card front here! lol
