Time for Another Birthday…The Stamp Market

April 10, 2025 Pam Sparks6 Comments

I bought this card kit from The Stamp Market last year because I thought it’d be so great for masculine cards! This is my second time to use it! You can’t buy it anymore but they have kits coming out all the time and they’re only available for a limited time.

I love how it works up. Oh, I used a Memory Box die on the panel. I’ll see if I can find it.

HERE it is…

Die cutting and a little stamping. Oh, the cake is an old Memory Box die set.

A person could almost make this with circle and rectangle dies. hehe

On the inside I stamped a Penny Black birthday sentiment.

A 2 Size…holler if you have any questions!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Spellbinders Little Smiles Collection Card…

April 1, 2025April 1, 2025 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Cute card to share today! What a fun set! Paired with Little Smiles Sentiments you can cover a few occasions!

I went with Spellbinders cardstock colors that I had…made a darker pink with a Copic marker and white cardstock.

Basic card… die cut and glue. I did Betterpress the Sentiments. So fun… I love this look!

Spellbinders thinks of everything when they create these sets… There’s black pieces to die cut to glue behind the eyes/nose…so easy!

I cut a strip of gray and added the white lines with a gel pen and a ruler.

I used the Nested Postage Labels & Tag set to make the background, then the stitched rectangle in the set to make the panel, then to cut all the background pieces, cloud borders and road.

The cloud border is from the NEW Bundle of Joy set in the Little Smiles Collection. Links below… I used it to cut the clouds and the faux look of green hills behind the bunny/car. I love how it worked up!

Some glitter cardstock for the hub caps and car lights. I think that’s everything.

Thank you so much for clicking over and have a great week! Cardmaking for me today…family birthday!

Spellbinders Propagation Garden Collection Cards…

February 22, 2025February 24, 2025 Pam Sparks4 Comments

Hi everyone! I saw a GREAT, FLASH sale at Spellbinders including the sets in this collection and it reminded me that I’d not posted these two cards! For example Propagated Plants that I used for the plants on these two cards is on sale for $9! Regular $29.99!!! I made links for you below.

So here I am on a Saturday afternoon finally editing the photos and typing up a post. The sun is shining, the sky is blue for a change and the hub is out ice fishing with grandsons!

Super cute cards to make for plant loving friends and family!

I used the Circle Windows dies from Photo Play for the card front panel. I did a search and found a couple places to link to…not affiliate but I couldn’t find them in the stores I normally link to.

Then it’s just die cutting and gluing everything up!

The bottom terra cotta pot is from the Tiered Tray Decor set from Spellbinders but it’s not in the store anymore. I’m not positive but the pail is probably from Memory Box. This is what happens when you don’t post for over a year after you make! oops!

Are you on team Pink or team Yellow? lol

The grid pattern papers are from….ugh…I can’t remember! Some papers I have in the old, old, stash! But good ones! I’m sure you have this too.

I don’t remember where the sentiment is from either.

Another die set that you can use up scraps with! I don’t have great scrap organization but what I do have works for me. It’s a fairly good size 8 inch-ish tall bin that sits on a stool beside my desk that I have cardstock pieces in by company! I know…see…I told you…not great but it really does work for me!

So many fun cards for any occasion with this collection! I didn’t buy all of it but now I want to go back and buy the rest of it!

Have fun and thank you so much for stopping by!

Spellbinders February Release Flower Cart Card…

February 20, 2025February 20, 2025 Pam Sparks4 Comments

Hi everyone! Some fun, floral die cutting happening around here! Talk about sweet little flowers! Super cute set!

Straight forward die cutting! I didn’t use any stamps! A little Copic marker though but no ink blending which is unusual for me too!

On can never have too many birthday cards in the stash! I used the Simon Hurley Handwritten Sentiments die set for the happy birthday greeting.

I wanted to add some clouds in the sky and thought, why not make it the sentiment in the clouds!

It’s an A7 size card…move over Hallmark! haha

I pretty much used scraps except for the background and cardbase!

Thank you so much for stopping by today…we need the thoughts of Spring in Iowa today…. -8˚ this morning when I got up. BRRRRR Next week shows warmer….we’ll appreciate it!

My Favorite Things ‘Right on Track’ Birthday Card…

February 6, 2025February 6, 2025 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! One of our granddaughters LOVES vinyl, I still call them records, but when I saw this set I HAD to have it! I LOVE how it turned out!

These cute critters are from My Favorite Things!

I stamped them in the MISTI with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers. A little white gel pen added after coloring. What a happy musical trio!

My pictures turned out good so there’s five of them! lol

I used an older Memory Box die, Party Music 98757 for the background but I’m linking you to the new die.

The sentiment stamps I used are from Paper Smooches which is closed now but I did see some pages of PS stamps on ebay. The name of the set is Birthday Sampler.

I just used a A2 white cardbase and on the inside I glued an extra record that I had colored.

A clean and simple card but good colorbook therapy!

I’m linking my card to some challenges…

The Neglected Stuff Challenge – this is their kick off…so fun! I’m excited about this challenge! (my neglected stuff – the party music die and sentiment stamp set)

We Love Stamping February Challenge – Anything Goes and CAS

Our family hasn’t had any February birthdays but we just got our first yesterday! Our first great grandchild was born! So exciting! It’s a girl! I can’t wait to shop for some girl things! It’s all icy out today so I’m not going anywhere yet but soon!

One of our grandson’s was telling another grandson that grandpa is a great grandpa now. His reply was, grandpa has always been a great grandpa! lol We think our grandkids are great! ❤
