Memory Box Easel card and video…

June 4, 2013May 18, 2014 Pam Sparks31 Comments

So excited to share an Easel card with you today… it’s a multiple easel, Easel card! I love working with Memory Box and Poppystamps dies and papers…to really see the card well in the video, change the ‘gear’ to HD and click the full screen. It’s so much better BIG! : ) This was my 3rd take… the first two…well, I got the measurements and names right but messed up with construction! oh well…be sure to note the ‘notes’! Hope it inspires you to use your dies… hehe

I show the construction process and tell the sizes in the video…

I LOVE the addition of the kite to this scene! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

You can swing for awhile… grab a friend and go for a bike ride and even rest for awhile on the awesome park bench!

Here’s a closeup of that FUN bike!

I used all Memory Box card-stocks… Water, Dill, Granny Smith, Vanilla Bean, Licorice, Crimson and White. So much fun! Holler if you have any questions… I think between the video and the photos it’s pretty much self explanatory!

Magnolia, Tilda’s Town Challenge…

May 31, 2013June 2, 2013 Pam Sparks16 Comments

Let’s Celebrate! This week’s challenge @ Tilda’s Town.

I colored Birthday Tilda with Distress ink pad reinkers on Canson Montval cold press watercolor paper. The pattern paper is from the Basic Grey Blush 6×6 paper pad. I used two DooHickeys dies, Twisted Swirl and Heart Flower Lace Border.

I edged the papers with Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool. Stickles on the candles!

Tilda is such a cutie with her yummy chocolate cake! A Viva Decor pearl pen for the dots in the background and the pearl is from Magnolia too.

I used the Perfect Layer Tools 1/16th inch ruler for matting… link and discount code in my sidebar…

Thanks for stopping by and hope you can play along with us this week @ Tilda’s Town!

Magnolia, Tilda’s Town Challenge…

May 17, 2013May 23, 2013 Pam Sparks28 Comments

Time for Tilda’s Town’s weekly challenge…this week…’use a Magnolia background stamp’. I used Tilda’s Summer Car with Cool Edwin from the Sweet Rainbow Collection and colored with Distress Ink Marker watercoloring. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the You Are Special collection.

I used the Deconstructed Sketch #101 and will link to it, but my image was too big to cut into a circle. I love fishtails but I didn’t have enough room, so I used an old Quickutz arrow die to mimic them and thought that went with the car. It was definitely my inspiration but I did have to change it up to work for my image!

I’m linking to Midweek Magnolias Challenge … Birthday is the theme.

Simply Create Too …Anything Goes

and Dutch Magnolia Lovers …Make a card inspired by a song… “let’s go fly a kite”

The cloud background is inked with Rosies Roadshow cloud stencil and Ranger Adirondack light blue ink.

The main image is matted using the Perfect Layers Tools… link on the right…

Thanks for stopping by! I love hearing from you and appreciate your friendship and comments! I’ll be back Tuesday.

I used a variety of Scrapbook Adhesives/3L products… I’ve used their products for years and love the quality! When Laura told us we were hopping with them, I was so excited! You can’t go wrong with their adhesives! I used my Perfect Layers Tools (link and code to save in the sidebar and below) to mat the Memory Box Debutante Frame…Memory Box pattern paper and card-stock for the A-6 size card.

Memory Box dies I used… the AWESOME NEW Palace Oval Frame set… isn’t it pretty?! Gloriosa Vine… love it! So delicate and whimsical ! Pippi and Isabella Butterfly dies…Debutante Frame
