Valentine stamp candy and some cards…

Pam Sparks28 Comments

Here’s some Valentines I came up with today… tomorrow is stamp club and we’re swapping simple Valentines.  ok – I tried!  I love the Printworks new heart stamp, sentiments and Holly Berry Red stamp pad!

The twine I used is from Doodlebug…it’s called Valentine!

The Row of Hearts is a new stamp from Printworks and the LOVE stamp is from them also but an older one.  I stamped the hearts with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers… R27 and R83.  There’s that twine again!  Oh,  I embossed lines above and below the hearts also.

Some more new stamps from Printworks!  Love that cupcake.. the sentiment and the little flower heart growing up between the scallops!  I’m linking this card up to the Clean and Simple Stamping Challenge Blog – a sketch and you’re to have a repeated element on the card more than three times.  I got carried away adding stuff to the circles…ugh! lol   EK Success border punch.

Now for the Valentine stamp candy… link up below and inlinkz will pick a winner (random) and these four stamps will be on the way to your collection!  Printworks sent me doubles of these four so I emailed Nicole and asked if I could give them away and she said, “yes”!

the cupcake                                                                                                      heart posey

I love you                                                                                                      always

Woodland Wreath…

Pam Sparks20 Comments

Oh, I had fun getting gluey with this new die set from CC Designs for February!  It’s called Acorns and Leaves. I used several CC Designs dies and Ranger black enamel in the flower centers.  The flowers are the smallest flowers from the Phlox Flower die and the Five Point Flower die.  I doubled the kraft paper cord and tied a bow,  so I’d have double loops on both sides of the knot.

The sentiment is from the NEW AmyR Stamps sentiment set called Be Happy.  On the inside I made another little bouquet with an acorn and leaves and stamped the sentiment from this set that says, best birthday wishes. 

Click over to the ATS blog to see what the other ATS designers created for today using these new dies!  Totally inspiring!  I love this Woodland theme that Christine came up with!  AND… be sure to link up for a chance to win… on all three posts! woohoo! Who swallowed a happy pill? me?  nah… just happy to be here!

Several months ago I finally took the plunge and ordered the Perfect Layers rulers!  I was so tired of cutting card mats and re-cutting card mats and trying to achieve the perfect margin on all four sides!!!   WELL… I can tell you the answer to the problem!!!  THESE TOOLS are awesome!!!  Time saving!!! Keep you from pulling your hair out wonderful!!!!! Hallelujah!  My sanity is still in tact!  Quit laughing! hehe

I will make a video showing how I use them but in the meantime… check out the video in the store.  If you order through my link you’ll save 5%!   If you love having perfect layers like I do,  you will LOVE these tools!

You can scroll through the cards on my blog and you’ll see I’m rather biased to the 1/16 th in. mat… oh,  it makes me HAPPY!  so very happy…just the time it saves alone!  I’m gonna ask Julie if they’d consider making a ruler for 3/32 nds…  now that would be divine!  Now you know… I’m crazy! lol  Well,  come on… don’t you think we need something between 1/16 th and 1/8 th inch too???!!!

ok – I’ll shut up about it…

Thanks for the visit!  ttul!

here’s what I used today to create this humdinger of a card! hohoho  – now where did that come from?!

I love this couple from Printworks!  Yep… the fun sentiment is Printworks too. Perfect for Valentine’s Day! Scroll frame is from Marianne Design.  I die cut a black frame and a white frame…traced inside the white one with a pencil and cut it out by hand.

The inside… sentiment from Printworks B4227.

Liked this card from an angle too!  = )

then for the bright, FUN valentine…new images for Valentine’s Day…

A NEW candy heart and heart sentiments…the new big LOVE, embossed on vellum… My trusty stamp a ma jig made this a fun card to create!  I watercolored the hearts with Printworks stamp pads.

Jilly’s Candle and a cupcake kind of day!

Pam Sparks19 Comments

Jilly’s excited about another birthday!  Like all kids, she loves candles!  Jilly’s Candle is one of the NEW Birthday Fairwees from Sweet November in the CC Designs January release at All That Scraps.com.   Today is Tuesday Review day on the All That Scraps blog, HERE…more fabulous creations from the Design Team gals.

I stamped Jilly with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Hammermill 80# Color Copy Cover and colored her with Copic Sketch Markers.  I really like this card-stock…super smooth,  colors blend and it’s easy to fussy cut too!   She’s a cutie and fun to color too!

Stamps and Such…

Thanks for stopping by to celebrate!  I sure hope to get more stamping done this week… it’s a busy birthday month around here!  Take care!

Marianne Design World Design Team…

I’m so excited and honored to be a new member of the Marianne Design World Design Team! I love to be challenged and using her dies, stamps and supplies to create with is going to be great fun! So….here’s hoping I can inspire and challenge you at the same time!

Today I’m posting two cards. A Clean and Simple card with the new tree Creatables die LR0203 from the January release.  I LOVE scene dies! = )  I wish I hadn’t used such dark brown card-stock …if you watch the video you’ll see the detail of the die better! The sentiment stamp is C2398 from Printworks.

Here’s a video to show how I layered the tree.

Then my second card is a Don and Daisy stamp from Marianne Design that I colored and matted on a Marianne Design Craftables Rectangle die set CR1202, the black dot ribbon is from Marianne Design and the Elegant Brocade stamp is from Hero Arts.  SOOOO CUTE!  Don is so sweet to carry Daisy over the threshold! hehe

 

They just make a gal smile!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Weekend to you!
