poppystamps Cat Collage Card, Whittle Creatures Card and Jack O Lantern Frame Card…

September 16, 2022 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s Black, Orange and Purple season! But isn’t this black NEW Cat Collage amazing die cut in Memory Box black glossy cardstock! I love the thickness of it….I use a piece of copy paper folded in half for a shim when I die cut it.

Memory Box NEW Happy Halloween Posh Script die cut directly in the glossy card front panel then an orange die cut inlaid into it. Be sure to keep the centers of the letters!

An easy alternative to gluing! I put scor-tape on the back side, flip it over and inlay the die and letter centers. I use scor-tape a lot!

I had a scrap of brayered cardstock that wasn’t good enough to make the keep pile. It worked perfectly for die cutting the background for the cat and the windows of the NEW poppystamps Twisted Houses die!

A2 size card.

Next up is a cute, cute card using the NEW poppystamps Whittle Creatures die set.

Aren’t they cute? oh, I already said that! lol They’ve got personality!

I die cut in white and copic colored. So easy because the only little pieces are the faces. I put a little piece of scor-tape on the backs, then insert the little pieces with a pick up tool. Works great!

I decided to go postal! Memory Box Postage Square Layers for the white layer, Stitched Square Layers for the bluish green layer. I had to cut the black layer with a paper trimmer.

The broom is from the NEW Whittle Witch die.

Then I needed words! I landed on this poppystamps Marzipan Greetings clear set. A bunch of fun sentiments in this set. Love it!

Mini Slimline size card.

My next card is CAS or QAE!

Mini Slimline size card again using the NEW poppystamps Jack O Lantern Frame die.

I die cut it in TE candycorn cardstock. Colored with copics, the branches brown and the leaves green, coloring right over the orange cardstock.

I die cut the NEW poppystamps Boo Pie Script die in Memory Box black glossy cardstock. So fun! A smiling Jack O Lantern just trying to scare you! ha!

I have TWO more Halloween cards to show you tomorrow! Then….guess what?! More NEW coming! Be watching!

Thank you for clicking over and making it through my long post! I kinda got carried away with a three day cardmaking marathon this week. eek! I didn’t mean to scare you! lol

Simon Says Stamp/Memory Box STAMPtember Collaboration!

September 8, 2022September 8, 2022 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Welcome to my blog, it’s that time of year! STAMPtember at Simon Says Stamp and a collaboration with Memory Box! I have two cards to share…

The stamp set has beautiful botanical images and sentiments! I hope you will love it too!

Beautiful images to color! I used Copic Sketch Markers for my cards today. G21, 24, 28, 29 for the greens. R24, 37, 39 for the berries.

There’s a coordinating die for the set also. I didn’t have it so I used my scan n cut to cut it out.

I always love coloring the reds and greens for Christmas.

I stamped the sentiment with the MISTI and Ranger Archival Black Ink. These stamps stamp beautifully!

Both of my cards are A2 size.

The next card is an Autumn card…

I colored with Copic Sketch Markers again. I loved coloring these images… very easy open spaces which would work with all coloring mediums. E11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19 for the flower. YG91, 93, 95, 97 for the leaves. YR02, YR18, E07 for the berries.

I’ll link up below the other products I used on these two cards.

Thank you so much for stopping by! If you click away, be sure to come back and click through my link again and I’ll get credit at no expense to you! I appreciate it so much!

Enjoy STAMPtember!

Spellbinders Blooming Tree Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and Die Set Card…

August 12, 2022August 12, 2022 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m feeling festive on this second Friday of August already! This is such a pretty hot foil plate set! Easy and fast to add some touches of color too!

I used the Plaid Tidings Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate on the top layer. While I was deciding what I was going to do for this card, I also just embossed this plate through my machine… it worked great!

After I foiled the Plaid, I die cut one of the Essential Arches Dies in the panel. I used mounting tape to raise it up on the cardbase.

I hot foiled a sentiment from the Christmas Magic Glimmer Hot Foil Plate set. I haven’t tried embossing these yet but I want to. I hope it works!

The smallest die in the Precision Layering Mini Slimline B die set works perfect for cutting out these sentiments! YAY!

A2 size card…one more for the stash!

That’s all there is to it! Holler if you have any questions! Have a wonderful weekend!

Time for a NEW release from Simon Says Stamp…. Dream Big!

July 23, 2022July 23, 2022 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Bringing you everything ‘dreamy’ with this release in Summery July! Check it all out HERE.

I received the Tropical Leaf Bunch die to play with. It’s from Simon Says Stamp but designed by Memory Box! I love it when I get the designs by MB!

You deserve a break but I don’t mean at Mc Donalds! lol I’m not a beach person but I’ve probably not been at the right beach to appreciate it!

Here I kept it very CAS (clean and simple).

I die cut a rectangle out of copy paper so I could ink blend an area centerish on the front of my A2 size cardbase.

I blended oxide inks with my blue and brown brushes without putting on more ink because I wanted it very light.

Then I did some splattering with Prize Ribbon and Ground Espresso Distress inks and then a little white acrylic after the ink splatters were dry.

I die cut three of the Tropical Leaf Bunch, glued them together and then directly to the cardbase.

The beach chair is from last months SSS release. I stamped it and fussy cut it by hand, colored it with Copics and glued it directly to the cardbase. Details about this set in my post HERE.

Then I stamped the sentiment from the beach stamp set and added Memory Box Fairy Jewels from the Pastel set.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! Hope you enjoy the new release and here’s the

code for $5 off through 8/15… 5BUCKS

Have a great weekend! Do any of you have an ebike? We’re going to go looking at them this afternoon.

ttul,

p.s. links to the new products are in bold and the SSS picture in my post! Thank you for looking/shopping through my links! I appreciate it!

Lawn Fawn Platform Pop Up High Five Birthday Card…

July 7, 2022January 3, 2023 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Two more cute pop up cards! The last two for this round of family birthdays! These critters are having a grand time celebrating! Today is Corrin’s 13th birthday and the other is for Cedryk who will be 10 later this month. They grow up so fast!

I die cut Happy Birthday in blue and backed it with a white die cut, then added three clouds to the back. I love how that turned out with the balloons! (I used clouds from a couple companies)

Close up… I stamped, die cut and then colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Our oldest daughter has a big, nice tramp and the kids have so much fun on it! We were over there the other day and after they jumped awhile they moved to the slides! They greased them with dish soap and soon there was a competition happening! So funny!

close up… I did different balloon colors on this one.

I used Doodlebug pattern paper for the pop up and TE cardstock for the grass.

Here’s my phone picture…shows the detail of the giant Happy Birthday better! I know I already said this but the clouds! ❤

Thank you for clicking over for the backyard playtime…reminds me of a meme I saw on instagram… we had some good times didn’t we! Bug bites and all!

ttul!
