I love you this much!

The challenge this week on the Just Magnolia blog is Animals and Insects – please feature either/or on your card. The animal or insect does not have to be a Magnolia image – or even a stamp, it could be a die cut, a punch out, a charm, shaped button – anything as long as it is an animal or insect.IMG_2552

Well….I’m probably stretching it here because my ladybugs are pretty small…I tried to use the Magnolia ladybug but it just didn’t work out like I planned!  I used the new EK Success bug punch and they did turn out pretty cute…took a little fiddling to get them to look like something other than a punch out!

I used grass,  fern,  corner flower and stem punches from the Punch Bunch.  The yellow ric rac is from Making Memories.  Tilda is from Magnolia of Sweden and colored with copic markers.   “You are my sunshine” is from Wordsworth.  I used a rectangle nestabilities die for the background.

Here’s a close up of the flowers and bugs!IMG_2555Thanks for taking the time to check out my entry and I appreciate your encouraging words!!!

Pam Sparks7 Comments

Coming to the USA!

well, it really wasn’t by train but by plane! Our newest grandson is from Ukraine! I had to make a “so glad you’re here” card for him. A delightful two year old that loves trains!!!henrystrainMartha Stewart’s wonderful train punches and the checkerboard border punch for the track. I punched five trains and glued them together to get a chipboard effect, same w/the cloud punch.

Square Nestabilities used to make the embossed frame.

My favorite Owl cardsovalInkadinkado Owl clear stamp,  All Night Media wood grain (I purchased mine at Michaels),SU word & sanded background stamps,  Rubber Soul – eyes stamp,  Nestabilites oval dies, QK flower, twill and We R Memory Keepers pattern paper.owlVS2Chatterbox pattern paper…

I think it will fit into a A7 envelope the best…

The car is cut on the Cricut with the Graphically Speaking cartridge….some really cool things on this cartridge!  Now to go look and see what everyone else came up with!

Another angle on the card…IMG_2456
I used Grape Bazzill card-stock, KI Memories flower die cut 12×12 paper, Lasting Impressions for Paper black polka dot, Beckett Expression Radiance card-stock to stamp and color my Magnolia Tilda flower girl, All Night Media flower border punch, Martha Stewart border flower punch and the EK Success wavy border punch.
I’m used to putting my markers back in the stand when I’m coloring, so the yellows I used for the blonde hair are not in the picture below! They are Y21, YR21 and YR24.

Say it with Flowers

Pam Sparks8 Comments

IMG_0831Penny Black flower stamps,  Cosmo Cricket Fleuiste pattern paper and Martha Stewart’s scallop lacy border punch were used to make this “just wanted to say”  card. I have to say the elongated nestabilities rectangles are some of my favorite dies!  Oops! I almost forgot the SU word window punch!
