Monkey Zoo celebrates!

Pam Sparks27 Comments

Are you smiling?  This little monkey is new for CC Designs January release and called Monkey Zoo.  Comes with it’s own birthday sentiment too!  I was washing up a few pans, thinking…wanting something fun to create with this cutie and thought circus tent!  Well,  sure enough,  googled and found this card HERE.  So cute and easy to piece together too!

I printed Heidi’s pattern and then held it behind my pattern paper by my desk light so I could see through it to cut it out.  To make the card I used a piece of card-stock scored at folded at 4 1/4 in. wide.  I held the tent base piece on top of the folded card and cut on the tent pattern sides.  Adhered it to the tent top.  I used a toothpick on the top to hold the flag and bead.  On the back I cut a piece of card-stock the same color as the folded card and glued it over the top so that the back side is all covered and the same color.  Cute!  Easy too.

When I was in grade school…one of the gals in our class had a pet monkey!  Crazy….I’m not much of an animal lover, so of course I didn’t hold it!  eek! lol  They are entertaining in the zoo, that’s for sure!

Thanks for your visit and comments….I appreciate it!

Happy Birthday…

This new CC Designs Swiss Pixies Lucy can stand alone because she is the cutest thing ever!

Well,  here’s the whole card…

Our granddaughter Lilli turns 7 on the 8th.  Yep,  you guessed it,  she’s a red-head!  This card is for you Lilli!  Happy Birthday!  AND,  she loves pink!  She loves to color with copics too… for Christmas I gave her the markers to color red hair, cuz she loves to color her color hair! hehe  Today I used E97, E08 and E19 for her hair.  Her skin is E000, 00, 21, cheeks are R20, 21, 22…micro amounts! lol   All the pink is R81, 83 and 85.

I used Party Time Lucy,  Party Time Logos and the Candle border die.

Here’s a side view…

I hope you can see that I used two different pattern papers for the candle border die.  I cut the candle border out of each one…kept  the back piece with the flame and attached the second piece to the top after I cut the flames off… very easy!  You probably can’t really see this,  but I embossed lines with the small end of a stylus between the candles to give definition and dimension.

I used Marga’s sketch from Scrap-en-stempel club blog HERE.

Wish you could see this one IRL… so sweet.  I know what my friend Linda is going to say….another pink card! lol  She’ll get to see it at stamp club! lol

Thanks for visiting Lucy and me today!  We loved having you over!  = )

Sweet November Winter Kids Zach…

Pam Sparks19 Comments

All That Scraps Tuesday review today… CC Designs Sweet November Winter Kids line is featured today on the ATS blog HERE.  I needed one more Christmas card for a nephew last night… Zach was perfect for a young man!  I tried coloring his headband or what is that called?  camouflage. lol  The piece of pattern paper is from October Afternoon’s 8×8 campfire pad.  The holly punch is from The Punch Bunch and I punched it in two colors and layered the lighter over the darker.  I had to edge the papers with Walnut stain Distress ink and my ink blending tool.  AmyR stamps Snowman Sayings for the Coolest Holiday Greetings sentiment.  Zach is “cool”!

Challenges… Stampin’ for the Weekend  – anything goes; The ABC Challenge – F is for Frosty;

ATS Wed. Challenge and SALE!

A new challenge starts today on the All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge blog.   Make a treat box/bag.  I have this Accucut scallop box die that is just the right size to hold two of these chocolates!  Email me if you want the name and number of the die.

I used several of the CC Designs Cutters dies…the new Leafy Branch,  Phlox Flower dies and  the others are the Leaves, Rolling Rose,  Lock and Key, Tags & Banners and Parenthesis. The “with love” sentiment is from the new AmyR Stamps Heart-y Sayings set.  The tinsel-ish looking tie is from a Teresa Collins ribbon pack.  I did edge the papers with Walnut Stain distress ink and the ink blending tool.  I rolled up the rolling rose die, glued it (video under my tutorials tab), turned it over on my desk and hit it with a rubber mallet! lol   I like the “squashed” look on top of the Phlox flower die cuts! lol

Thanks for stopping by!  Wishing you all the best this Christmas season! Take care and have some dark chocolate!
