Memory Box Deep Blue Ocean and Bubble Border…

August 23, 2021 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everybody! Working through the Memory Box release…. thinking of you and I had to use this Vitamin Sea sentiment again! Many of you know me and I’m a vitamin C user! hehe

I started by inking a mini slim line panel with Tumbled Glass oxide ink, lightly marked where the circles were with a pencil, then stamped the school of fish stamp from the Deep Blue Ocean stamp set randomly over the larger circles. Then I stamped the ocean greenery images from the same set in dark greens.

Then I covered the panel with a piece of vellum…like you’re looking through glass…

I inked the top panel with Oxide inks, Salty Ocean and my Peacock Feathers brush without adding more ink. Spattered it with water.

Let it dry, then stamp the sentiments from the set using the MISTI and Ranger Archival Black ink.

I colored and die cut the cute little fishy with Copic markers but then I decided I didn’t like the white around it so I fussy cut it and mounted it on the panel with mounting tape.

On the inside I stamped the Feel Better Soon stamp from the set.

This is a great set… it can go for any occasion with the variety of sentiments! Birthday, Just Because, Sympathy and get well!

Thanks for stopping by on this beautiful how can it be the end of August day!!!

ttul,

Hello Bluebird Fishin’ Hole Shadowbox Card…

August 17, 2021October 7, 2021 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Meet me at the fishin’ hole! It’s a beautiful day! lol Here’s the card I made for our grandson Corrin who just turned 12! He loves to fish with Grandpa!

I saved this idea from Instagram/designs by mommajean when I saw it last year. So much fun! I made the video after I gave it to Corrin and he showed me that it looked like the fish were swimming when you bend it back and forth! ❤

I didn’t have a shadowbox die set that would work for what I wanted to do so I had to make this up as I went. No instructions, just some Math! lol

Stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird, Memory Box and Lawn Fawn. I’ll link below.

I stamped, die cut the images and colored with Copic Sketch markers. Since alcohol marker ink saturates through to the back side, I die cut a piece of white cardstock to glue behind the colored images.

Bushes and grass dies in the background from Hello Bluebird…

I took a lot of pictures!

Memory Box dies for the greens and coral in the water…

I used a piece of acetate to cover the opening…

Distress Oxide inks for the blues and sandy shore…

Corrin really liked it and the money in the envelope too! lol

Thank you for stopping by! ttul

Simon Says Stamp Make Magic Release Cup of Love Card…

August 9, 2021August 9, 2021 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! I have another mini slimline card to share with you today! This size is so much fun!

I just received my order with a few of the new products from this release… Cup of Love stamp set and die set and this new slimline size Organic Dots stencil.

I’m not a coffee drinker but lots of family and friends that are! This should get used!

I simply inked through the stencil with Gathered Twigs Distress ink using the Make-Art Stay-tion that comes with four strong magnets to hold the stencil in place…very helpful!

Then I spattered with black watercolor, dried it and then white watercolor.

To cut the panels I used the new Waffleflower Mini Slim Line die set! I am going to get the use out of this set… I’ll link it below too.

I stamped, die cut, colored and assembled. The card ends up 3 ½ x 6 inches. I used Memento Rich Cocoa stamp pad for the coffee.

I stamped the sentiment with Ranger Archival Coffee ink pad.

I’ll link you up to this new release and the $5 off your next order code is good until the 15th!

Thank you for stopping by!

Memory Box Flowering Cactus Slimline Card…

August 4, 2021 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! I had some fun coloring yesterday. Right now there’s a 30 day coloring challenge going on and I’m so glad I had this to color!

I stamped the NEW Memory Box Flowering Cactus in the MISTI with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, die cut it and colored it with these copics…

I stamped and die cut the sentiments from the Signature Greetings sets. I cut just the die a couple more time so I could glue them together to get some lift. Easy gluing when the dies are like this!

I die cut the largest and next largest of the Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Slimline dies in TE Oreo cardstock and Neenah 110# white cardstock and layered everything up.

I used mounting foam tape behind the cactus to adhere it to the panels.

Succulents are so fun and popular right now! Maybe sometime I’ll get to see then in the desert!

Thank you for stopping by! ttul!

Memory Box and poppystamps ‘anything is popsicle’ Shaker Card!

July 13, 2021 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Do you agree? Such a cute sentiment! A Summer shaker card with poppystamps Whittle Popsicle die, Memory Box Nested Globes, Memory Box Grain Planks (cut to be narrower), NEW Banner Sentiment Trio die and NEW poppystamps Life is Sweet Clear Stamp set!

Here’s a video to show how it works…it’s not deep so they don’t move around a lot. It looks a lot better when you click watch on You Tube. lol

I made this mini slim size… 3 ½ in x 6 in. It works so well for some things!

I die cut everything from Neenah 110# Solar White Smooth Classic Crest cardstock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

I added dots to the inside background piece with the same Copics also.

I only used one layer of mounting tape around the perimeter of the globe. I used the thin strips you can buy, but cutting your own would work too! I’ll link below.

Super cute little popsicles…the die comes with two on it, one with the cute face and stitch lines and the other solid.

I forgot to take a picture of the inside! ugh. But there’s a new poppystamps sentiment set called Marzipan Greetings that’s so cute and the sentiment ‘it’s the little things’ is perfect for the inside! I like some of the other ones for this too!

I don’t know who I’m going to send this to yet! Here we are in the middle of Summer already though! Wow, this year is going by fast!

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I’m going to go make some more and see what I can come up with! Have you checked out the new Memory Box/poppystamps release? hehe I’ll link below.
