Anya’s Birthday card…

Pam Sparks38 Comments

Our granddaughter Anya turned six yesterday and the family birthday party is tomorrow , we have three birthdays this month…so two more cards coming soon!

This cutie stamp’s name is “looking at you” from Stampavie!  So cute and so like Anya IRL!

The next picture shows my clever little trick to make the easel card stopper!  I LOVE it!

Do you see it?  I used two circle punches and a Quickutz flower die and an Amy R’s birthday sentiment, “birthday girl”.  I scored the pink circle, folded it and stuck part under the layers on the bottom of the card.  The green circle I cut off so it wouldn’t be too thick under the layers… cool… I’m sure I’ll be doing this again.  It’s just like a card “stop sign”! lol

Here’s a close up of “looking at you”…

Colored with Copic Sketch Markers – Hair YR30, 31, 23, 24 – shirt and socks R81, 83, 85 – pants & shoes E40, 41, 42, 43, 44 – butterfly BG0000, 000, 01, 02.  Pattern paper by Jillibean Soup (it’s on sale!). Cardstock is from Prism.  Hug Snug seam binding.  Sentiment stamps, Versafine ink, Magnolia Dragonfly die, Spellbinders dies, Memento inks applied with ink blending tool to sky (summer sky)  and grass (pear tart, new sprout and bamboo leaves) … links below.

Linking my card up to a couple challenge blogs…

Papertake Weekly – anything goes with the optional circle…that’d be my stopper! : ))

Flutter By Wednesday – anything goes with a butterfly

Peeking Posies…

Pam Sparks8 Comments

I’m so glad that Hero Arts brought this Peeking Posies set back… it’s so fun to color with all coloring mediums.  I colored this flower from the set of four with Twinkling H2O’s. You can kinda see the sparkle in my photos!  Hero Arts sentiment C4024 (not available anymore), May Arts ribbon,  an old Making Memories buckle and SU retired paisley background.

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.

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.
