Memory Box Snowman and Birdie Friend Card…

Pam Sparks7 Comments

Welcome to snowman season!  Fortunately no snow here yet but it is cooling off fast!  eek!  I would like to officially request several more 67 – 70˚ weather days with no wind! hahahahahahahaha

Winter is nice on paper! hoho

This totally charming snowman is new from Memory Box, ‘Snowman and Birdie Friend’.  So cute!

Die cut in white cardstock, Copic colored R46, YG17 and a little bit of R89 on the birdie’s wing.

White dots with white gel pen.

I used the tree dies from the Memory Box ‘Log Cabin Scene’ die set.

Sentiments from the NEW Memory Box ‘Christmas Wonder’ stamp set.

Frame and flakes from the Lawn Fawn Winter Wonderland Window die set.

I remembered to take a picture of the inside!  yay!

Here’s a short video of the finished card…it takes a second to load and not be blurry for me.  It’s not blurry on Instagram…HERE

I’m off to choir practice this afternoon. I play the piano for a children’s choir.  It’s fun to be around a lively bunch of 8 – 12 year olds!   They sing hard songs and I have to practice too!  Makes me wonder how many of my blog readers are pianists too?!

I’ll stop talking and get the list made… I appreciate you stopping by!

Memory Box Cozy Quacker Merry Christmas Log Cabin in the Woods…

Pam Sparks8 Comments

Oh happy day! This was such a fun scene to create! Super cute woodsy cabin and Mr. Duck dressed for the season!

I started with an A7 size cardbase.  Inked it with Distress Prize Ribbon ink and the mini ink blending tool. Then I used the Memory Box Snow Flurries 6×6 stencil and modeling paste for the snow. This stencil is no more so I’m linking up a couple others that will work just as well.

Die cut the Log Cabin, ink the wood parts with gathered twigs distress ink.  I die cut the string of lights in white and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Tear a piece of white for the bottom snow border.

Die cut the duck and parts.  Die cut the evergreen stand three times and trim off the extra after gluing.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the NEW Christmas Wonder stamp set and dies.

I adhered the sentiments, the cabin and the duck with the thin mounting tape I love, linked below.

I’m linking my Cozy Quacker card to some card challenge blogs…

Tic Tac Toe #302- center vertical row for me, DieCuts, Free and Embossing wet/dry  (my sentiments are heat embossed with black embossing powder)

Simon Says Stamp Every Happiness Blog Hop Easel Card…

Pam Sparks54 Comments

Hi everyone!  It’s time to hop and be inspired by the NEW Simon Says Stamp Every Happiness release,  a Free Gift AND a chance to win!  SSS is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop from the blog comment sections. The winners will be  posted on the Simon Says Stamp blog where the winners can find out how to redeem their prize. YAY!  I hope you’ll comment!

Here’s my card from the release.  SSS sent me the Woodland Friends stamp set.

So I had to get coloring!  I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Copic friendly ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Mostly E 30’s but the stump is E40’s.

A totally charming set of cute critters, sentiments and accessories.

I masked off the bottom and ink blended Gathered Twigs and Mowed Lawn Distress ink.  Then I moved the mask and ink blended the top with Tumbled Glass Distress ink.

Here it is from the side.  I die cut the largest panel with Spellbinders Emerald Cut Labels and Tag die set in kraft cardstock, then inked it good with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.

I cut a top fold cardbase, scored at 5 ½ in then one side at 2 ¾ in for the easel.  I cut the corners of the cardbase off with a scissors to match the top Emerald Cut panel, then I inked it up too.

After I adhered everything together with glue, I tied on the thin cord from May Arts.

When I cut out the mushroom image, by hand, I left a piece at the bottom so I could score and make a stopper.

Here it is A2 size, folds flat and ready to go in the envelope.

I added some dots with a copic marker and a white gel pen.  I used a die cut heart and glossy accents to glam up the heart on the stump.

Here’s a short video of how it fits in an envelope and how it sets up!  (if a thank you comes up, just tap/click on the CC or subtitles and turn it off.  I have no earthly idea how it got on there!)

Have you seen the Simon Says Stamp gallery?  It’s awesome!  You are welcome to share your creations there also!  Check it out HERE!

Here’s the HOP LIST…not sure I really need to post it since I’m the last one on the list! lol

Thank you so much for visiting my blog!  So glad you made it this far!  Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win!

Aall and Create Birthday Card…

Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! I made this birthday card for one of our granddaughters…the set is called ‘Page Turner’!  Appropriate for sure! We have a lot of book lovers in the family including me!

I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Hammermill cardstock and colored  with Copic Sketch markers.

I see ppl buying Olo markers these days.  I haven’t tried any….have you?  Curious what the opinions are out there!  I’m not tempted to buy anything else though. Maybe if I colored more…

I cut them out with the Scan n Cut.  I love this machine for when I don’t have dies. Some days I think I should update it to the newer one that’s quiet but it works so well, I don’t want to take the chance on something new! lol

I used a waffleflower grass cover plate for the background.  Die cut in white and inked it green.  Then die cut it again with the Aall and Create Stemmed Pouch die.

Links below…

Sentiments are stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink in the MISTI.

Birthday sentiment on the inside….I couldn’t decide how to stamp the belated part though!  I suppose I should’ve looked up the set to see if there was an example! lol

I’m linking my card to some challenges…

Well, thank you so much for stopping by again today!  I’m having fun using my stash but some of you are probably missing my Memory Box and company cards.  Sorry about that.  They quit sending product to me to use last year so I’m thinking I’ll just buy once in awhile.   I have years and years of cards using their products  here on my blog that you can go back and review for inspiration!   Just choose the Memory Box category  from the choices in the right sidebar.

ttul!

Simon Says Stamp ‘In My Heart’ March Release…

Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone!  I have a slim line card to share with you today using the NEW Simon Says Stamp ‘Thanks A Latte’  clear stamp set from the ‘In My Heart’ release.

Look at these critters!  There’s a panda also that I didn’t use but would’ve been super cute too!

I used some very old K & company paper.  A 12 x 12 paper pad called Wild Saffron.  Trying to use some of this stuff  I’ve collected over the years!

Linking to the Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge…anything goes. 

The Neglected Stuff Challenge…anything goes must use at least one old neglected product. 

I used Photoplay’s Circle Windows Etched Die for the background panel.  I stamped on Hammermill and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Linking to A Cut Above Challenge – anything goes with a die cut. 

Added a little lace down the side.  I thought I should get out the machine and stitch this but I didn’t do it. lol

There’s a really fun sentiments in this set covering a lot of occasions.

This fits in the slimline envelope also and will post for one stamp.

My first thought for this set was to make a set of clean and simple cards for a gift but I got started and forgot the plan! lol   I still think that would be so cute!

Linking to the Stamping Sensations Challenge….Spring or anything goes.

Thank you so much for stopping by today….check out the NEW release HERE.  Links to what I used below.
