All That Scraps May Preview, day 1…

Pam Sparks17 Comments

That time of the month… NEW stamp release from All That Scraps!  Today the DT is showcasing the new images,  Cute Birgitta, Stone Wall and Lamppost. Click HERE to go the the All That Scraps blog to see the other DT gal’s fabulous creations! Be sure to add your name to the linky tool for a chance to win these stamps!

I used the new Lamppost for a Christmas card!  I know, crazy! lol  I just associate lampposts with carolers at Christmas… so my next card with the post will be for Spring,  since I got the Christmas one out of my head! lol  I used the bow from a Sugarplums stamp kit, I don’t see it in the store anymore and a couple sentiments from  Amy R’s Christmas sentiment sets… I’ll link them below.

The bow is colored with R02, 05, 08 and E07,  the post is colored with the Warm Grays.  The pattern paper and card-stock stickers are from Basic Grey’s Jovial pack.  I used the largest Labels One die from the newest size set. Edged everything with ink and the ink blending tool.  Added a couple pine branches from the Martha Stewart punch.

Inside I cut the Magnolia Doohickey’s Vintage tag die (link below) and stamped the sentiment on it and used a few of the card-stock stickers again from the Jovial paper kit.

I’m linking my card to the Crafty Hazelnuts Christmas Challenge blog… use a little yellow.

Stamp “stuff” I used on this card…

Thanks for stopping by!  Don’t panic… lots of days before Christmas! : ))

Penelope and Fibonacci…

Pam Sparks20 Comments

I LOVE Amy Young’s Sweet November Penelope and Darby images…now there is Briar too! Three new wonderful, charming and delightful images (and their pals) in the April CC Designs release.  You can see more of the fabulous design team creations HERE and HERE. I used Penelope and Fibonacci… link at the end of my post.

I stamped on Beckett Expression Super Smooth 80# cover Card-stock  with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers… ok – I got a little carried away with that E87  around the stem… I am loving the new E80’s markers… crazy… I know,  they weren’t “quite” the right colors for this pattern paper but… I’m stuck in a rut of using the YG90’s and the two new E80’s! ugh!  oh well, she’s a doll and I’ll have to do her up in more girly, sweet colors another time!  You’ll see when you go look at the links above!

copic colors used…

  • skin – E000, E00, E21
  • cheeks – R20 diluted with R00 refill and E00 to soften the edges
  • hair – YR30, 31, 21, 23, 24
  • dress – E81, YG93, 95, E87
  • shoes – E81, 87
  • stem – E43, 44, 47
  • toadstool head – E 40, 41, 42, 43 and R02, 05, 08
  • Fibonacci – E40’s and E80’s

The sentiment is from Amy R’s Get Well sentiment set… link below. Not sure why I couldn’t get the sentiment to photo clearly but it stamps and looks wonderful IRL!

I edged all the papers with Antique Linen Distress Ink and the Ink Blending Tool.

Linking up to the following… Cute Card Thursday Challenge blog… Weather Inspired is their theme right now… FUN!  Stamp Something Weekly Challenge blog…April Showers is their theme. Copic Creations Challenge blog… your favorite copic coloring card-stock.

It’s a Butterfly Dreams post!

Pam Sparks64 Comments

Some super sweet stamps from Magnolia on my stair step card today!  The latest collection, Butterfly Dreams…they just keep getting cuter!  I also used a few Magnolia Doohickey’s dies… I’ll link to them all in the photos below.

I made this a back panel stair step.  I didn’t take time to search to see if anyone has already done this.  I didn’t like it as tall either so I did some changing.  The pattern paper is from the Webster’s Pages 6×6 pad called Spring Market/Yacht Club.  Some really neat designs in the collection… link below.

Linking up to the Just Magnolia Challenge for this week, they’re celebrating birthdays! It’s HERE!  Linking to the Wee Memories Challenge post, HERE, the challenge is “All Things Adorable”… well, that’d be Tilda and Edwin! : )

Here’s a side view to see the stair step…

And some close ups…

Made ‘ya smile! Thanks for stopping by… links below take you to the products I used when you click on the pictures!  Happy Weekend!

April NEW Review…

Pam Sparks23 Comments

Here’s Tulip Birgitta on the Spring Bench…both are new stamps for April from CC Designs at All That Scraps.com. I stamped them on PaperTrey Ink white card-stock with Memento Black Ink and colored with Copic  Sketch Markers and a couple Promarkers on the Tulip.  The image is die cut with Rectangle nestabilities. Have you tried the new Copic Sketch Marker colors yet?  I love them!  Today I used two, E81 and 87… love them!  They blend in great with the YG 90’s!

  • Hair – E50, 53, 55, itty bitty touches of 57
  • Skin – E000, 00, 01, 21
  • Cheeks – diluted R20 (diluted with R00 refill)
  • Dress – E81, YG 90’s, E87
  • Shoes – E 42, 43, 44
  • Bench – E 40’s
  • Grass – YG 90’s and E 80’s
  • Pinks – Promarkers Bush and Sunkissed Pink and Copic R22

Martha Stewart Butterfly punch…punched twice out of green and pink and layered…very thin strip of brown card-stock for the body and antennae…Parisian Accents Spellbinders border cut four times and layered up for a chipboard effect.  I embossed the top one while still in the die and then touched it with the Blush Promarker on the high points.  The pattern paper is from the new Butterfly Garden set by Pink Paislee.

I’m linking my card up to the Lollipop Crafts Challenge blog…this week the theme is “all girl”! Sweet!
