Papertrey November Blog Hop Challenge…Snow

November 25, 2014December 1, 2014 Pam Sparks22 Comments

Snow…sparkly, frosty, glittery snow…that’s what I was going for! I love this Diamond Dust Vintage Glass Glitter for snowy scenes!

All the stamps and dies I used are from Papertrey Ink…here’s a link to the challenge post and and all the links if you want to hop along. WOW…tons of inspiration!

I used the Snowglobe die set, Snowglobe sentiments, Tinsel and Tags kit and In the Meadow stamp set.

It’s really hard to get ready for Thanksgiving Dinner when there’s so many fun challenges to play in. Are you the same way? I’m looking forward to company and pie but…all the stamps, dies, paper and ink are always callin’ my name! haha

Here’s a close up of the glittery, frosty scene…brrrrr! I ran it through the xyron so the adhesive would be on the front and then glittered it.

Linking my snowglobe card to the Festive Friday Challenge – inspiration photo.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving day and thanks for stopping by to see what I made today! Enjoy the hop!

Printworks Collection Birthday and Christmas…

November 22, 2014November 24, 2014 Pam Sparks26 Comments

HI Everyone! Three A2 size cards to show you today…I really have six but I’ll hold off on the other three for another post!

Do you have any Christmas birthdays coming up? I’ve had these santa hat brads and I just had to use one!

I matted the main panel with black card-stock cut with the Perfect Layers Rulers. Can hardly make a layered card without them!

If you’re shopping, be sure to use my coupon codes over in the sidebar for Printworks and for Perfect Paper Crafting!

and on the inside…

A masculine card with a nature twist…I used a gold Krylon pen for the gold dots… dispensed some out on the craft sheet and dotted the ink onto the card with the end of a paintbrush. Edged the sentiment with Distress ink and then the Krylon pen. Stamped with Printworks Ivy and Oak Brown ink pads. I did shadow the stag with a little copic coloring.

on the inside…Printworks has the best scripture sentiments…stamped with Printworks Ivy Ink pad.

I love this one… the gold embossing and pretty Christmasy colors. I stamped and embossed several stamps and then colored with watercolor markers – Tombow and Memento. Tied on some twine.

then on the inside…stamped in black versafine ink.

Entering my Dear Friend card into the following challenges…

Tilda’s Town Magnolia card and some tags…

November 19, 2014 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Sweet Christmas childhood memories… I’m sure we all had a rocking horse of some kind or other! This cutie is one of the dies from the Magnolia DooHickeys Club Kit #2, All I Want For Christmas. It is chock full of cuteness! Here’s the tag I made with the Santa and border that are also part of the kit. Lots of dies for a great price and a little magazine full of ideas too! OH, almost forgot! The little lace piece is another die in the kit… see… tons more too!

I die cut the Rocking Horse die from white card-stock and colored it with Copics. The words happy and christmas are from Paper Smooches.

I made this card for Tilda’s Town Challenges this week. We’d love to have you link up if you’re a Magnolia fan!

Last Friday at our area stamp club meeting we swapped Christmas tags. I made two and let the gal that got my name choose which one she wanted.

I made a bookmark style tag with Paper Smooches dies and the PTI Tinsel and Tags set and then a Snowglobe style tag with PTI Tinsel and Tags set, the Winter die and snowglobe die.

I could make tags all day! lol So much fun with all the new stamps and dies out there! Hope you are having a good time using your stash too or shopping to increase your stash … oh my… so much! I’m addicted! lol

Thanks for stopping by!

Memory Box for Starlitstudio… Horse Country

November 18, 2014November 18, 2014 Pam Sparks19 Comments

Hello and welcome to my blog today! I’m sharing two cards I created with Starlitstudio’s exclusive new die from Memory Box, called Horse Country.

A Fall card…

inside…

and a Winter card…

inside…

I used the Memory Box Golf Club Landscape border die in the background on both cards. (I cut off the flag)

On the Fall card I added the small leaf from the Memory Box Marvelous Maple die, poppystamps new Fancy hello die, Trotting Pony die and Country Fence die. On the inside I used the Memory Box Give Thanks Combo stamp (leaves and sentiment) and Memory Box A-2 Notecards in Sky and Kraft.

On the Winter card I used Memory Box A-2 Notecards in Sapphire and White, Ho Ho Holly Leaves die and poppystamps new Vintage Seasons die. I just used the Greetings part on the front and on the inside, I cut the ‘s’ from the end of Season’s and stamped the words ‘of the’ from the Memory Box Wonderful Time Combo stamp.

The Christmas, Winter Horse Country scene card is spattered with white spray ink and then sprayed with Imagine Crafts Sparkle Spray.

All of these dies and stamps are available for purchase @ starlitstudio.net

I will be making Horse Country up in Spring and Summer versions too! Thanks for visiting today and Season’s Greetings to you! THANK YOU for your encouraging comments too! I appreciate it so much!
