Memory Box Small Fringed Peony, Scribble Leafy Branch Thank You Card…

June 21, 2019June 21, 2019 Pam Sparks12 Comments

HELLO!!! Bright card today! No sunshine here today except on this card! lol

I tried using a Gel Plate for the Smooshed Background on this card. I put drops of Distress Ink refills on the plate, spritzed it with water and then laid the piece of watercolor paper in it and smooshed! Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint and Peacock Feathers are the colors I used. Added spatters with the extra ink.

I die cut the NEW Memory Box Small Fringed Peony from three Bazzill Card Shoppe Cardstock colors and pieced them into a white cut. Then I die cut two more of just the white and glued them on top and liked it better.

I went in with some color pencils for some shadows on the flower petals. Just enough colorbook therapy to make me happy!

I die cut the new Memory Box Scribble Leafy Branch Background in Bazzill Cardshoppe cardstock and the Scribble Leafy Branch Outline in White cardstock. Layered and glued them together.

I stamped and embossed the images from the new Memory Box Big and Little Words clear stamp set. I used the MISTI and Gold Embossing Powder.

I added three Doodlebug pearls…sequins might’ve been fun too!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope your Summer is off to a great start! Happy papercrafting!

Memory Box Antique Garden Label Birthday Card…

June 12, 2019June 12, 2019 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! I’m making my way through the new Memory Box release.

Today I revisited my Embedding Technique… it’s one of my faves for this type of die! My video explaining the process is HERE. When I made the video though, we weren’t using as heavy a cardstock as we do now. Today I used Canson Smooth Bristol in the orange cover pad. I did it just like the video except that I ran it through my Big Shot and then back.

So cool, I just love the ease of adhering the die this way and the bit of dimension that looks so professional!

Some distress oxide inking on the Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die cut panel. (die cut and ink this panel before you embed the die cut to it) I used Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade and Twisted Citron.

I spattered with water, white paint, spiced marmalade Distress Ink refill and twisted citron Distress Ink refill.

I die cut another panel with the Memory Box Wrapped Scalloped Rectangle and mounted the inked panel to it with mounting tape.

Then adhered it to an A2 card base.

I stamped a sentiment in the Label opening with the MISTI and the Archival Distress Spiced Marmalade Ink pad. The sentiment is from the poppystamps Birthday Blowout clear stamp set.

I added a few matte enamel dots. I like it! lol Sunshiny, Summery colors!

Thanks for stopping by! Keep making!

Simon Says Stamp Sketched Flowers Card…

June 10, 2019 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! A floral card with a big thanks to share with you today.

I stamped this beautiful floral image from SSS Sketched Flowers clear stamp set with Archival Black ink in the MISTI on watercolor paper.

I used the most amazing markers to watercolor with! Have you heard of the Karin Markers? They’re from Poland. Just WOW! So cool! I was so surprised and delighted when the pkg arrived at my front door! A birthday present for me?! YES! From an awesome friend!!! 😀 Best Birthday ever!!! 😀

A story I made on Instagram about them… HERE.

They are awesome markers for lettering too. I’m still working on that… practice, practice!

I spattered and after everything was dry, I die cut the word ‘thanks’ from Altenew’s lower case alphabet set right out of the colored floral piece! :O

That took a couple weeks for me to get up the nerve! lol No big deal after all. haha whew!

I added mounting tape to the back of each of the letters and placed them back in after I backed the piece with black cardstock.

I’ve seen a lot of cardmakers do this and have always loved it. So glad I finally did it! The simple ‘with heartfelt’ is from a Memory Box clear stamp set.

Links below to what I used…

THANK you so much for stopping by and supporting my cardmaking and blogging! I appreciate it so much! YES, with heartfelt thanks! Have a beautiful day! It cooled off here and I even opened the windows because the humidity is low…so unusual! So happy about it! lol

MFT Stamps Pure Innocence ‘Start Each Day with a Whee’ Swing Card…

May 21, 2019May 21, 2019 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! When this cute gal came out awhile back I knew I had to have her! We have one granddaughter that especially loves to swing and she loves cards too! I love it when the idea for personalizing a card comes easy!

Here’s my version of the swinging ‘whee’ girl in action…she’s cute! You can see it a lot better on You Tube, HERE.

I basically followed MFT’s video but I used dies I already owned. I added a tree trunk from the Memory Box Weeping Willow Tree Cutting Plate but I see it’s discontinued. There are other tree dies though that would work… like this one HERE. You could also hand cut one really easy. I haven’t seen anyone else using a tree trunk but I think it makes it look more realistic… when I first saw the cards made up, I thought weird, green clouds! lol

I used poppystamps Stitched Cloudline dies and die cut them and the grass borders from Taylored Expressions Granny Smith cardstock. I’m really happy with how they turned out!

I stamped her in the MISTI with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock and die cut her then colored her with Copic Sketch Markers. Hair E21, E43, 44, 47, Skin E000, YR000, E00, E01, R20, Shirt E02, 04, Shorts B 91, 93, 95, 97, Shoes T1,3, 5, Swing seat and rope E20’s, white space between the swing ropes is colored with B21.

I stamped the sentiment from the set in the MISTI with Black Archival ink.

My cardbase is Gumball cardstock from Bazzill or Taylored Expressions has it also. Links below…

Thanks for ‘swinging’ by today! Holler if you have any questions!

Here’s some links to stuff I used to make this card…thank you so much for supporting me and my blog! I appreciate it!

SSS ‘Celebrate You Release’ Filigree Message Circle Die with MB Flower Dies…

May 15, 2019May 16, 2019 Pam Sparks12 Comments

It’s time for a NEW release from Simon Says Stamp! They sent me their new Filigree Message Circle die to play with. Kinda fitting since it was designed by Memory Box.

So I set to work and used a couple Memory Box flower dies too!

I used sentiments from the SSS last release, Tiny Words Encouragement clear stamp set. Links below…

I wanted to embellish the circle so I diecut the NEW Memory Box Daisy Silhouette die in white and colored with Copic Sketch markers.

YG17 Matches Taylored Expressions Peapod cardstock perfectly! I’ll link below.

Here’s a top view because there is dimension to the card! 😀

The top layer is Taylored Expressions Toffee cardstock.

A close up…I think this picture captures the sweetness of the card the best! 😀

Next photo, the cards together…a variety of things you can do with this die. Use your other circle dies to frame it etc. My white die cut panel is popped up to the card base with foam mounting tape and the kraft die cut panel is adhered directly to the card base.

I have this Lawn Fawn Inside Out Circle die set and love how it framed this Filigree Message Circle die.

I wanted to embellish with flowers again and liked the idea of tulips cuz it’s May and tulips are big in the area we live.

This is the Memory Box Springtime Tulips die. I clipped out the tulips and used them without the circle they come with.

A top view… I ink blended the flower parts that come with the die to back the tulips, with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink and the mini ink blending tool.

I ink blended the card base with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink.

The leaves are inked with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink.

Sweet, feminine cards that anyone would enjoy receiving. YAY!

Now for a bit of shopping info too… this is like an after Mother’s Day present to oneself! Gotta love that!
