Embossing Paste With a Stencil…

June 14, 2018June 14, 2018 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Celebrate! Hello everyone! I watched a video by Shauna from the Foiled Fox and loved her cards. I don’t have the same things but I want the stencil she used too! lol Her cards are so pretty…I just had to make some! The theme for this months swap at stamp club was anniversary so I had added incentive to make!

I used a Memory Box stencil and had to tape off some of it like she did, so go through your collection and be amazed at what you come up with… like I was!

I won’t explain much because her video tells easier than I can write it up…

I’m really happy with my two cards… already used this gold one (for the card swap)! I used gold glitter embossing powder from Judikins.

The celebrate die is from birchpressdesigns.

The next card is the same technique but using Silver glitter embossing powder…

I wish you could see them IRL…so pretty!

This one I used a Simon Says stamp die and stamp set for the sentiment.

Holler if you have any questions. What’s old is new again! Gotta love revisiting the old techniques.

Thanks for stopping by! Hey before you click away…. be watching…NEW Memory Box and poppystamps coming very soon, like tomorrow! hehe

Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Meets MFT BB Rain or Shine…

June 11, 2018 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! Starting out Monday right with a blog post! I have a birthday card to share that I made for our granddaughter Anya’s 13th birthday. She loved it! Now to get her over here to make one herself! 😀

I colored this cute gal and ducks from MFT’s Rain or Shine stamp set with my new color pencils on Neenah 110# Solar White cardstock…inked on the clouds with an MFT cloud stencil and the mini ink blending tool, oh and a little concrete in inked on the bottom and stamped with a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Sentiment stamp set.

It’s a cloudy day here so far…goes right a long with my card! Thankful for the rain though, cuz… the trees you know! lol

I used the Speech Bubble Add on this time to make the window for the sentiments to show up in and four sentiments from the Reveal Wheel Sentiments set.

Here’s Lawn Fawn Kelly Marie’s video on making the Reveal Wheel card. It’s an A2 size card and amazingly easy! yay!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy coloring, card making this week to you!

Memory Box Cheery Flower Collage Meets Carta Bella Spring Market…

June 9, 2018June 21, 2018 Pam Sparks26 Comments

Hi everyone! I was inspired to join in the fun at CAS(e) This Sketch card challenge. I loved the sketch and the inspiration from the team.

So I headed from my computer/library room, down to the other end of the hall to my stamp room and got to work… somewhere between the rooms, I guess my brain didn’t quite remember the sketch exactly. Glad this isn’t a test! lol

I had fun using this die again and this fun 6×6 paper pad that is new to me this Spring.

I copic colored the flowers, leaves and stems, added a little bit of white gel pen and yellow dots in the flower centers.

I used mounting tape to layer up the top panel that I die cut a circle out of with the Memory Box Circle Basics die set.

Then I thought, add a border and this new poppystamps Pierced Borders die was delighted to be used again! The paper and border remind me of the old Susan Branch stamp and paper lines from years ago.

Just enough dimension to add interest but still be A2 size and mailable. I had to tie on some kraft twine…sometimes it just calls to me. lol

The longest part of making the card was deciding what sheets of paper to use from the pad! lol I changed my mind a few times. 😀

Linking to some challenges…

Shopping Our Stash Weekly Challenge – favorite thing (dies)

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge – All Things Bright and Beautiful

Word Art Wednesday Challenge – anything goes

Happy Little Stamper June anything goes with dies challenge

Birch Press Design Viva Layer Die Set Card…

June 8, 2018June 8, 2018 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi friends and cardmakers! It’s a big day… it’s Friday and I’m celebrating that I get to write a blog post, finish a couple birthday cards and go to stamp club this afternoon! I can’t believe another month has rolled around though!

I had fun making this card a few weeks ago and almost forgot to post it! Crazy me!

So when you have little die cut dots all over your work surface what do you do? Paper crafters make a background of course! haha

I love these colors together but I need to tell you, that is dark brown as in chocolate! lol Not black. Dark brown always looks black in photos to me. Naughty child! haha I used Memory Box Pool, Meadow, Vanilla Bean, white and kraft notecards for this card.

I love working with dies and these layering ones are so fun…kinda like people! No two alike! Just keep cutting and playing with layering them together.

This Viva Layer Die set is three large intricate dies! I think this one will be gorgeous made up as ornaments for Christmas!

Thanks for clicking over to my blog today! Hope you get some time to create today! Be back soon! I have more to share!

Guest Designing at Foiled Fox with Lawn Fawn’s NEW Reveal Wheel Die and More…

June 5, 2018June 5, 2018 Pam Sparks25 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m delighted to be guesting for the Foiled Fox online store blog today! This NEW Lawn Fawn Reveal die set makes up the cutest, cleverest cards that everyone no matter their age would enjoy receiving! Spin the dial and see…well…whatever you want to stamp! There are multiple designs you can change out…the skies the limit! YAY!

It’s so cool how Lawn Fawn thought of everything needed for this type of card! Kelly Marie made a video explaining every detail so you can’t mess it up!

I used the Reveal Wheel Sentiments stamp set for the words, You Are Sublime stamp set, You Are Sublime Lawn cuts, and Porthole Frames Lawn cuts for the images.

Some ⅛ inch brads fit the perimeter of the porthole perfectly!

I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It Copic Coloring Card in the MISTI stamping tool and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

This was so much fun to make! I can see more in my future and unending possibilities! Click over to the FF blog to see a super short video of my reveal wheel turning…then the store! The new Lawn Fawn release is in stock and free shipping with your $50 order!!!
