MFT Hop, Flip and a Jump Interactive Birthday Card…

October 18, 2019October 18, 2019 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing a birthday card for one of our grandsons that just turned 7 the end of September. He’s a tramp lovin’ boy for sure and can run like the wind!

I used some newer My Favorite Things stamps and dies… perfect for our grands who all love the tramp. I had a $25 gift certificate that I’d won on a challenge that helped me buy the awesome Interactive Up Down Die set! We’ll need to use it a lot!

I followed the MFT Design Team gal Laura’s instructional video on how to do it. I reinforced the mechanism by gluing 3 die cuts together though, it really needed the strength! I haven’t asked but I’m hoping it’s still working on the card! hehe

Super cute and easy to color! I was so happy with how it turned out! I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Ink and cut the images out with the Scan and Cut 350, then colored with Copic Sketch Markers. There are coordinating dies, I’ll link them up below.

Then it was just assemble like Laura’s video! You can find it on the MFT You Tube Channel. Here’s my video of it in action! Click HERE to see it BIG… much better on the You Tube channel.

It’s an A2 size card…

Thanks for stopping by! Hope it made you smile!

New Memory Box Snowman Circle Collage and Bauble Snowflake Corner Card…

October 16, 2019October 16, 2019 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Frosty here… and yes he does come with two hats and a scarf, so cute! I left him plain jane today but it’s still magical frosty with this beautiful Bauble Snowflake Corner! HERE he is made up (by MB owner, Dave) all colorful cute on the cover of the new Look Book.

I die cut and flat glued everything. Stamped the sentiment with We R Memory Keepers Advanced Precision Press and Black Archival ink.

I added a few baby white pearls on the snowflakes and black tiny gems for his buttons.

A very sweet, clean and simple card. He’ll be back again someday!

I hope you’re enjoying all the new products from Memory Box! During September, Simon Says Stamp had posts on Instagram introducing stamp and die company owners. One they posted was Dave and Monica that own Memory Box, poppystamps and Birch Press Design! So if you click HERE, it’ll take you to that post and you can meet them and see their picture! (you might have to scroll up, over in the text part to read the post) Fun!

Thank you for stopping by! Talk to you again soon!

NEW Memory Box Anitque Holly Label and More Card…

October 15, 2019October 15, 2019 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! THERE’S MORE NEW FROM MEMORY BOX!!! And I’m here to start sharing it today! You know me…I love all things Christmas and Winter! So here’s some fabulous holly, greens and snow topping one of the pattern papers from the NEW Memory Box Dashing Holiday paper pad!!! Super festive and there’s a coordinating pad called Dashing Stripes and Dots also!

I layered the NEW Antique Pine Label die cut under three layers of the New Antique Holly Label die cuts. I was tempted to add the NEW Antique Greenery Label too but I didn’t. I decided adding white would add some brightness that the card needed and out came the New from the Holiday release Bauble Snowflakes.

The word MERRY in the label is from the NEW Mini Vintage Varsity Christmas dies. The script Christmas is from the NEW Merry Christmas Noted Script dies. I love these fonts!

Oh it’s festive with the white, plaid, red and green! I was happy when done. YAY!

Snowman card coming tomorrow… super CAS but sweet! I have lots to make and show and tell, so come on back to celebrate the season with me! I’d love to see what you’re making too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Simon Says Stamp Cheer and Joy Release Card…

October 10, 2019October 10, 2019 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends. I have a fairly simple card to share with you… well, I kept adding things! lol

Today is the new release at Simon Says Stamp… it’s festive and Christmasy for the most part! I’ll link you up below to what I used.

The new stamp they sent me to show is the background here, Leaves and Berries Cling Mount Stamp.

I gold heat embossed it and then blended on 3 colors of Distress Oxide Ink. Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron and Shaded Lilac. Weird… the Lilac kinda wiped of when I went over it to get the ink off the heat embossed gold. I barely used any lilac though… good thing! haha I spattered with water drops using the Tim Holtz mister water bottle.

Then I just painted in the leaves and berries with the Gansai Tambi watercolors that I still had out on my desk. Oh, I stamped on Strathmore 400/Best the brown pad of watercolor paper.

I die cut the panel with SSS Stitched Rectangles.

I embossed in Ranger Detail gold, the background and the sentiment. ‘Thankful for you’ is from the SSS Autumn Greetings clear stamp set.

I used three small circle cuts from the New Memory Box Stylish Frame Trio die set. I die cut them in TE Premium cardstock, links below, Candy Corn, Granny Smith and Peapod.

I die cut leaves from the cardstocks too using the New poppystamps Autumn Leaf Set. Then I added some small enamel dots.

And that’s it!

Check out the new release! I’ll link below in the linkdeli links below, the first one. I’m not sure the links in my written post work so I’ll try this.

Thank you for stopping by!

Memory Box Simple Poinsettia Frame Card and Jolly Snowflake Trio and Snowflake Marquee Card…

October 8, 2019October 8, 2019 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! I know, I know… yes this one is a napkin technique card (see the technique here) but the card below is not! I don’t have another one in the works! lol I do love it so much though!

I’ll link up the dies I used below instead of typing it all out here…

I think this one has a retro feel to it. Super festive! This Bazzill Mint Julep cardstock is just so fun and unusual to me.

So here’s an oxide background tall card, it fits in a standard #10 business size envelope. You can buy these that look nice like stationery too… they don’t have to be the kind that look like you’d send a bill or payment in. lol

I inlaid these die cuts in the tall card panel. I use scor-tape on the back to hold the die cuts in place.

I tried to capture the sparkle of the glitter cardstock but you know how it is, so much better IRL even with a good camera! Course there’s the operator behind the camera. haha

I heat embossed the sentiments on black cardstock with white powder.

The background is Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire and a little Black Soot on the edges.

It’s been cooler here lately…I was beginning to wonder! 😀

Stay tuned! Something GREAT is coming our way REAL SOON!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
