Simon Says Stamp and Memory Box for STAMPtember!

September 12, 2023September 13, 2023 Pam Sparks7 Comments

It’s reveal time for the Simon Says Stamp and Memory Box Exclusive Collaboration in honor of STAMPtember!

Here’s my card…

Memory Box signature Magnolia images for this exclusive stamp and die set today!

I went with an easy to color method for this stamp set…then an easy to make cardbase too!

Memory Box 6×6 Magnolia Grove and Magnolia Plaid paper pads. It’s hard to see the design in the base panel but it’s there and so pretty in real life!

I used a narrow strip of Gold Foil cardstock to accent the foiling in the paper.

It’s a mini slimline size, 3 x 6 inches this time. It’s such a fun size… it feels feminine in my hand. lol

I stamped, cut the images out and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Seven sentiments in this set! I love the font too!

I’m thinking you’ll recognize the Magnolia flowers from the Memory Box Magnolia Dies, Embossing Folders and paper pads release earlier this Summer. This set is going to coordinate beautifully with them.

This stamp set is a one time offer just for STAMPtember! So head to SSS and grab it before they sell out!

Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Blog Party! Cue the Confetti!

September 2, 2023September 2, 2023 Pam Sparks23 Comments

Happy Day! It’s that time of the year when Simon Says Stamp has a BIG release, STAMPTEMBER!

I’m participating in the blog party that starts on the Simon Says Stamp blog, HERE.

I received the stamp set ‘Cue the Confetti‘! Super fun to stamp a one layer card and use a lot of the stamps in the set!

I stamped in black, masked using the reverse of the positive image to fill in the balloons with ink blending. I used the positive mask of the balloon to stamp the confetti in the background.

Very fun, festive, cute sentiments in this set! I found them very usable and I love the Big Happy Birthday for the inside! I also stamped it in color on the envelope.

I can also see these balloons and even some of the sentiments used for other occasions like retirement. It’s all about you today. There’s no such thing as too much happy! YAY! And even Make it Epic!

It was fun to do stamping! I do so much die cutting and gluing.

I used the MISTI to stamp the sentiments and a clear block to stamp the balloons, confetti and sparkles.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I have a banner to share with your for a great giveaway when you order today or tomorrow from Simon Says Stamp.

I hope you enjoyed my celebratory card!

It’s Slim size and fits in a business size envelope.

Talk to you again soon and enjoy the Labor Day weekend!

poppystamps Neighborhood Home Card…

August 30, 2023August 29, 2023 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Cute card warning! This NEW poppystamps Neighborhood Home Pop Up Easel Set can be used for so many occasions. I was thinking Congrats on your new house but ended up using the NEW poppystamps Whittle Scary Guys! I’m glad they aren’t really scary. (I’m not a big Halloween person)

I didn’t use the Easel part of the die set this time. I used the house layer die to die cut a top folding card. I made a 4 ½ in. x 5 ½ in. cardbase and just kept the fold below the top cut line when I ran it through the Big Shot.

I colored the ‘guys’ with Copic Sketch Markers and covered them with glossy accents. I put the pumpkin behind a window and the ghosts flying out of windows. I love the curtains so I had to add them. lol

I stamped Happy Halloween on the inside from the Halloween Pumpkin stamp and die set.

I die cut the Boo Poe Script twice from white cardstock and once from Black Glossy cardstock. Glued them together a little off so you can see the white behind the black.

Straight forward….cutting and gluing and an A2 size card!

I can’t wait to see what everyone else does with this die set. I think it needs decorated for Christmas!

I still have some card kits for sale…info at the bottom of the post HERE.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today. I hope you’re enjoying some pretty almost Fall days! I can’t believe it!

Stampendous Santa Hugs Card and Tags…

August 26, 2023August 28, 2023 Pam Sparks18 Comments

Hi everyone! So…..I fell in love with this adorable reindeer when I saw it! Had to have it! lol The Santa has grown on me too! The sentiments that go with these dies are adorable too and have dies and make fun tags a long with being so cute on cards! Rudolph would be so cute by himself on a tag!

Here’s the inside…

Santa is a hugging machine with his arms open and used with these sentiments!

I made two tags with Holiday Hugs Sentiments Stamps and Hugs Accessories Dies. So many fun combos and add fun twine and Doodlebug colored clothespins! CUTE!

Anything with a heart and postal!

Here’s some more photos of Santa and Rudolph!

I added some candy canes and peppermints from the Spellbinders Parcel and Post Christmas Decorations Die set. Super fun smallish die set with holly, mistletoe and a bow too!

I took so many pictures of this card trying to capture the details.

I used the Art Glittering System Dries White Glue for the fluff on his hat trim and cuffs. I wish I could show it to you IRL!

The pine branches are from the Spellbinders Winter Welcome Sled Die set. An awesome die set for Holiday cards!

I love this Spellbinders In The Pines Embossing Folder too! It’s big…use a half sheet of cardstock and get two A2 card bases in one shot!

I used some Gathered Twigs, Hickory Smoke and Lumberjack Plaid Distress inks to edge the die cuts. Glue and mount to the cardbase.

The snow is just a torn piece of white cardstock. Super fun card and tags!

I’m linking my card to some Blog Challenges…

Spellbinders Breezy Swing Small Die of the Month Club for August…

August 25, 2023August 24, 2023 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! This is a change from the festive cards I’ve been posting. I don’t normally do pastels so this is a real change for me! Such a dainty, lovely lady on a fine Summer day wishing you Hello!

The sentiment is a fun change from the ordinary also. It comes separate so you can use it or not use it!

One of our granddaughters loves to swing…this might just be going to her.

I made it an A7 size so it gives the appearance of being clean and simple.

Decide what papers you want to use, die cut, glue and it’s ready to mail! One postage stamp will do it! YAY!

I used Lawn Fawns Flower Market 6×6 paper pad for her dress and hat band.

I used the branch from the Sweet Birds on a Branch die set. Everything else comes in the set.

Hope she makes you smile! Love the extra little details. Spellbinders is really coming up with some amazing sets!

Learn about the Clubs of the month HERE and this particular Stamp and Die of the Month HERE. Sign up window is from the 6th of the month to the 27th of the month! Three more days to get in on this month!

Thank you so much for stopping by and I have some more Christmas to share real soon…as soon as I get pictures.
