Memory Box Pine Candle Oval Frame…

August 14, 2018August 15, 2018 Pam Sparks25 Comments

Hey everyone! I didn’t think I could do this alcohol thing! At stamp club Friday, Linda from club did a demo and we played. This morning I did this by myself! The ink really spreads on yupo though…I wanted to try little dots of ink…hmmmm… lol Big dots worked though! lol Butterscotch, Red Pepper, Lettuce and Oregano are the colors I used. Then a little gold foil. I just gambled on getting the foil on there. If any of you know a video you can point me too on getting the foil on there… email it to me.

This is about as artsy as I get! lol

I had the die cut white to begin with, then a friend told me to put gold foil around the flame and I was like, “no way” am I going to get glue near that! lol So I die cut the Pine Candle Oval Frame die in gold foil cardstock then and glued it over the white ones. There are two white ones in the stack because I got a smudge on the first one so I had to cut another and glue it on. lol Oh the trials! haha

Linking my alcohol ink card to some challenges…

CAS Christmas Card Challenge

This next one is a Distress Oxide background…

A lot of pictures today! This one, I die cut an oval with the Sudio Oval Layers die set… it matches the size of the Pine Candle Oval Frame die. Using the mini Ink Blending tools, I inked on the NEW Distress Oxide Ink pad colors, starting at the top with Mustard Seed, then Barn Door (I brought it up and around the Mustard Seed a little, then came back in with Mustard Seed, back and forth a little to get them blended) then Mowed Lawn and Crushed Olive on the buttom! I was really happy with how the colors blended and worked with this die cut!

I stamped peace on earth on a strip of white cardstock that I inked with Barn Door Oxide and let dry. Then stamped on it with Archival black ink in the MISTI.

A few little sequins to finish it off… oh wait, I did spatter it with Barn Door regular Distress ink. I just swiped a little ink from the pad onto my Tonic craft mat, one spritz of water and a #4 soft paintbrush to spatter it. TIP: I don’t know about you but spattering seems like an art to me too!!! grrr BUT I think I’m finally on to something with this #4 soft bristle paintbrush! It works the best of any I’ve tried so far and I’ve tried a lot! SO don’t give up! Find a brush that does what you want it to do. I’m convinced it’s all about the brush!

The white spatters are a spray… I’ll link to it below. I just poured a little on my craft mat and picked it up with that wonder paintbrush (hehe) and spattered it on. I probably should’ve heat set my oxide inks first. I wonder if the white would’ve stayed whiter? SO, the saga continues as to what is what!

p.s. my paintbrush is a #4 US Artquest paintbrush. I love my US Artquest brushes. I will look and see if I can find them to link to. (EDA – found them, link below! I love the other brushes in the set too!)

Linking my Oxide card up to some challenges…

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Distress it (I used Distress Oxide inks)

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge – Sprinkles and Splatters

ABC Christmas Challenge – P, Q & R are for? (mine is P for plain)

Well, I’m gonna shut up. If you have any questions holler!

Thank you again for coming over! Are you going to try these? hehe I hope so! I jumped in, so now you gotta jump in! lol

Here’s some links to what I use to make cards and what I used to make these two in particular! Have fun!

3 Memory Box Wrapped Holly Circle Frame Cards With NEW Holiday Dies!

August 1, 2018August 1, 2018 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! I couldn’t decide what card to post first! So I went with the ‘glam’! lol

Here’s the NEW Wrapped Holly Circle Frame die from Memory Box with the NEW Three Candle Circle die in the center! There’s several dies in the release that can be used as centers!

I couldn’t resist using the NEW Candlelit SHINE die on the bottom.

TIP: I worked on a 4 ¼ inch x 5 ½ inch panel so I could die cut the SHINE die right in the bottom of the panel. I left the white letters in the panel, scotched taped them in on the back, that gave me an easy, perfect way to line up the individual letters when I glued the gold glitter die cut letters on top of the white ones!

I used Antique Linen Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool to ‘age’ the edges and around the flame.

Then I glued that panel to the A2 size card base.

I used Mark Richards 3mm red glitter domes for the berries.

Next one…I used the same dies but inked the pieces with the NEW Distress Oxide ink colors.

Barn Door on the outer ring and candles. I did use a Copic R27 to color the outline of the candle so there’d be more contrast.

Mowed Lawn and a little Crushed Olive smooshed on for the Holly Frame. White and Gold gel pens for the berries and flame.

I die cut a circle with the Circle Basics die set and inked it with Tumbled Glass, then smooshed on a little Peacock Feathers.

Glue the Holly to the circle, then I mounted it with foam mounting tape to the kraft A2 size card base. The outer ring is glued flat with PVA glue and the pin top Darice glue bottle.

The sentiments are from the NEW Typewriter Holiday Sentiments clear stamp set! LOVE it! Inked and stamped with Ranger Archival black ink pad. Edges inked with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.

My 3rd card using this NEW Wrapped Holly Circle Frame die is a 4 ½ inch square card.

This die is so classy die cut in Gold Foil cardstock! I love it this way. I embossed the holly circle frame in the teal cardstock, inked it a little with Distress Peacock Feathers ink pad and the mini ink blending tool then glued the gold foil diecut holly circle frame over the embossing. Hard to capture in a photo but it just tweaks it and gives a feeling of depth.

For the center on this card, I die cut the NEW Pine Tree Deer Collage die in the gold foil/mirror cardstock, then using a matching center size circle from the Circle Basics die set, I die cut the head and antlers of the deer so they’d fit perfectly in the center! Cool beans! hahahahahaha

The teal square is die cut with the Stitched Square Layers die set and the red square is die cut with the Square Basics die set.

I die cut the NEW Peace Cheshire Script die in gold foil and red cardstock. I glued them together offsetting just a bit so some of the red would show.

I added some Want 2 Scrap red gemstones here and there on the berries.

The layers were adhered to a 4 ½ inch square card base.

Whew, this was a lot for one post, but I wanted you to see all three at one time. 😀 I’m excited to use all the NEW Holiday release. I can’t wait to see what everyone else makes too!

birch press design ADI Spinning Snowflake Card and Video…

May 22, 2018May 22, 2018 Pam Sparks7 Comments

hey! Another Christmas card…knockin’ ’em out of the park this week! Little league baseball lingo there…you can tell where we’ve been two evenings a week! lol

Here’s where my brain took me next working with this ADI layer die set… this is the B layer paired up with the largest snowflake from the poppystamps Shiny Snowflake die set.

Then I die cut the Memory Box Warm Christmas Wishes die twice, trimmed off the word warm and glued them together. I kept the dots for the i’s, even glued them together but in the end, they were lost, bah haha, so Nuvo drops in white to the rescue!

A close up… I die cut two of the outer circle from Layer B and two of the snowflakes. The DMC metallic thread is sandwiched between the twos.

I used the Mandala Card die set so the circle would be perfectly placed in the card front panel. Die cut it in Canson Bristol Smooth card, inked it all over with Distress Oxide inks (Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers) and made the fun mottled look with a wet shammy… call it Shammy Lift if you want a name! I did it back a few posts with an AR poppy die, after seeing others doing it. Then I used another cut of the same Mandala Card die for a template and the matching size Circle Basics die to die cut the circle in the card-base. That worked slick for getting the circles lined up.

A flat photo…just cuz it turned out pretty good! hehe Oh, that’s a Memory Box pool notecard cut in half on the inside…love how it matches the Peacock Oxide ink.

Here’s a very short video so you can see it spin! You can click to You Tube to see it larger HERE

Thanks for stopping by today… I have two more cards to show you with this ADI layer set… see you tomorrow!

birch press design ADI layer die card…

May 21, 2018 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! I’ve been playing with some of the birch press design dies! I have some fun things to share and I’ll start with this early bird Christmas card! Whoa! I know… it’s been a long time since I posted Christmas in May!

I grabbed some metallic gold card-stock and started cutting… I didn’t use all the layers…not sure I can even tell you what I did since I moved on to some other designs. You’ll just want to die cut and see what you come up with by changing out the layers.

I kept it very simple…the background is two pattern papers from a 6×6 pad. This one is a few years old but I’m sure you have some that will work just as stunningly! A little gold cord ‘ties’ it all together.

It was a sunny day for taking pictures, so I moved around 3 times and have different looking photos from each spot. I stopped at posting 3 photos at least! lol I wish I could really capture how pretty it is in real life!

Hope everything is growing that you’re watering! Our trees are looking good. whew. Leafing out and soaking up the water and sun. Kinda scared to get the water bill. I didn’t Winter over our 3 Endless Summer Hydrangeas that we planted last year right, I guess. No buds on the old wood. Fortunately there’s a lot of new coming from the bottom though! I just hope we get some flowers! I know….rolling my eyes at myself…Lilly of the Valley pips on the way…hope we can do those right! We have a lot of shade on the east side of the house. I’d rather make cards but…sometimes you gotta go outside! lol

Thanks for stopping by!
