Floral Cake Pop Up Easel Set from poppystamps for this card and all the pieces are from this one set! More that I didn’t use too!

Presentation is everything and this card can be birthday, wedding or any celebratory occasion! I love how it turned out!

I used the NEW Memory Box Best Wishes Tender Script die for the sentiment. So pretty!

I added Memory Box Fairy Jewels to the flower centers…

The easel when folded fits into an A2 size envelope!

Two Grad Cards with Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Club…

May 24, 2023May 24, 2023 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! Some fun cards that came together fast. I was so glad the club kit has birthday and graduation sentiment banners!

A2 size cardbase with a panel on top… die cut all the parts…you even get the cloud dies in the set! It’s such a good deal for $15! You can purchase later but the price is $27!

One of our grandsons when he was a toddler loved lining up his airplanes like a lot of boys line up cars! So cute! Now he loves fishing, playing the piano and drums….and swimming and and and! lol Airplanes always make me remember this about him.

The dies in this kit make lines to follow where the pieces go! THAT is so great! Helpful! Speeds it up!

The words in the banners are such a neat look!

I used my favorite double sided mounting tape to adhere the die cuts to the card. The clouds are glued flat.

I had a lot of pictures for this first card… second card I only have two. So keep scrolling! lol

Basically the same thing only Slimline size…matte gold and matte silver scrap pieces for the airplane.

I love the clean and simple approach with the dark medium blue sky! So fun!

My daughters needed 7 grad cards so these 2 will go with 5 others I made for them. So fun! I love it when I get to use my supplies!

Thank you so much for stopping by and before you go I better tell you about the SALE Spellbinders has going on! Some wonderful products to choose from! So glad we can order online since Hobby Lobby quit carrying them.

Have a good rest of the week!

Spellbinders May Large Die and 3D Embossing Folder of the Month Clubs…

May 5, 2023May 5, 2023 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Time to introduce new clubs over at Spellbinders papercrafts! It’s all about birthdays this time and boy they come around faster and faster these days! haha

A really fun 3D embossing folder that my photos don’t do it justice! Getting used to a season change and light with photos again.

The die set has so many dies! You can make the banner as many levels as you want! I was thinking the banner would be great for graduation cards too! Glossy Black! Gold! Silver! Besides the Happy Birthday To You words, there’s Wishes, Enclosed and Sending. FUN!

Then there’s balloons and flowers! Both would be great for any occasion and in any colors!

Also a great way to use up scraps! My card is an A7 size but would easy work for A2 or A6 also!

I’m getting excited about making grad cards now that I’m thinking and talking about it. You could personalize it with alphabet dies or stamps with the name and year too!

To find out about Spellbinders Monthly Clubs, click/tap over to their website HERE. It’s really easy and such a good deal! Links below to the clubs I used today.

thank you so much for stopping by!

Platform Pop Up Hat’s Off To YOU Card…

June 8, 2022June 8, 2022 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s a happy time of year for so many kids! I made several grad congrats cards but this is the only one I took pictures of.

I used the popular Lawn Fawn Platform Pop up die set! I have made so many of these already! It’s so fun and easy too!

I used an older Avery Elle stamp and die set for the images and the congrats, graduate strip is from Taylored Expressions. I’ll link to a newer version of the images below.

Super fun images… I didn’t think to get a picture of it flat. It fit into an A6 envelope.

Because I used Copic Sketch Markers to color, I die cut an extra piece of white cardstock to put on the back of the images to cover up the coloring. It worked great for the hats because then I could sandwich the acetate strips inbetween the colored hat and the plain hat die cuts.

Here’s the back… I used a two tone 12×12 bo bunny 65# cardstock for the base and the add on backdrop. The colors are kinda weird in the pictures but they matched much better IRL!

I stamped the sentiments from the set with Ranger Archival Black ink.

Thank you so much for stopping in today! I’m off to make some more flower cards!

Waffleflower Tumble On Spinner Card…

April 7, 2020April 7, 2020 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Today I’m sharing one of the birthday cards I made for our oldest granddaughter Atalyssa, aka Attie. She is an amazing gymnast so I had to use this new at the time Tumble on set from Waffleflower. Sooo fun!

This party was for five of our grandkids and Lizzie, who’s birthday is the day before Attie’s planned a Masquerade party. It was so much crazy fun! 😀

Here’s Attie making her card spin…

Fortunately she was able to get a few competitions in this year and we’re so proud of her! All around 2nd place at this one. YAY Attie! (she’s the girl that looks like she’s behind the number one block)

Here’s the card sliding by itself. There was a gal on Instagram that shared her card for Waffleflower and I basically copied her.

I stamped, die cut, colored and paper pieced her leo with black glitter cardstock.

I gave her a wood floor and brick wall because of the gym she goes to.

Thanks for stopping by to see this cutie in action!
