Simon Says Stamp Happy Camper Release…Out of this World Card…

Pam Sparks4 Comments

Hello everyone!  Have you had a chance to check out the latest Simon Says Stamp Happy Camper Release?  Lots of good product!

You know what I love so much about Simon Says Stamp’s Clear Stamps?  They are made in the USA and stamp up the best of any I’ve ever owned!  Thank you SSS for keeping production at home!  I appreciate it so much!  I love a sharp, crisp image!

I stamped and colored the images in this set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink using the MISTI stamp postitioner.  I colored with Copic markers after cutting them out.   There are coordinating dies but I don’t own them so I used the Scan n Cut to cut them out, then I colored.

I made the background on Neenah Classic Crest using Oxide inks and the ink blending brushes.  I went with expected colors but wouldn’t it be fun to use a person’s favorite colors?!  After Inking I did the water droplets trick.  I spray water into my hand then clap over the card panel to distribute the droplets.  Leave the drops a minute than press on a paper towel…let it dry.

I just received these new Sizzix  Circle cutting plates!  I haven’t used them yet so I used the largest one as a photo prop this time!  Kinda gives a spacey, planetary feel! lol  I’ll link them below.  I will use them for die cutting because I love having smaller plates, saves time!

Such cute images and easy to color too!  Hope these characters made you smile!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Simon Says Stamp Moments In Time Release Thank You Teacher Card…

Pam Sparks4 Comments

Hi everyone!  The end of the school year for some is a great time for thank yous!  This is a darling set and so fun to color!

I kept it very simple with the Copic colored characters as the focus.  I stamped with Copic friendly ink, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, on Hammermill Color Copy cardstock and die cut.

This is an A2 size card.  The close ups make the images look big but they aren’t.  Easy to color and not as time consuming as some other images.

So cute! A few white gel pen accents.

The sentiments are stamped from the set with Versafine Onyx Black.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!  I appreciate it!  Enjoy these cute characters!

Simon Says Stamp You Are My Favorite Release…

Pam Sparks3 Comments

Hello!  I know… long time no see!  I’m still here! My card today is using products from the last two Simon Says Stamp releases.  You Are My Favorite and Rain or Shine.  It turned out so fun!

A  5 ½ inch square card.

I heat embossed the NEW Wavy Background with Clear  embossing powder, then ink blended the panel with Distress and Oxide inks to make it look like water.

Birthday and Get Whale sentiments in this cute Get Whale Soon stamp set.

I stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Hammermill cardstock.  I don’t have the die set so I used my Scan n Cut. Then I colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  I forgot to add white gel pen accents though!  I think that would make it the little bit extra!  oops!

I used the thin mounting tape that I love to adhere the images to the card panel.  The little bubbles are glued directly to the panel.

Lots of pictures!  The color is more saturated in real life.

Such cute images! Whales with personality, sure to cheer for any occasion!

I hope this finds you enjoying Spring and all the pretty flowers.  I have hanging baskets on the back porch and ferns on the front porch but we haven’t had much sun yet.  I have some hydrangea bushes that the buds always get frozen off over the Winter or something so they have to start over from the ground up. ugh.  We’ll have lots of buds by the time it freezes again in the Fall!  Crazy!

Check out the new releases!  I’ll link below.

We’re getting ready for a wedding in two weeks!  eek!  So fun!  Our oldest granddaughter is getting married!  I love the shoes I bought to wear! lol

I’ll be posting a wedding card I hope!  I’ll show the tag I made for her shower then too!

take care and ttul!

CAS Baby Card for Freshly Made Sketches and Woodblock Wednesday Challenges…

Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s been awhile since I made a baby card!  When I saw the sketch for Freshly Made Sketches I immediately thought of baby clothes on a line.  Then I saw the Woodblock Wednesday Challenge and thought of my drawers of woodblock baby stamps!

I stamped the woodblock onesie in Memento Black ink using my old stampamajig to space the onesies on a 3  15/16  x  5  3/16 in. card panel.  I hand drew the line with a black micron pen. Colored with Copic Sketch Markers. I made a mask, using the negative and stamped some wood peg stamps on the onesies.

I die cut the largest Memory Box Wrapped Scalloped Rectangles die in black cardstock to mount the panel to.

The onesie is from Savvy Stamps, 1026C Hanging Onesie.

The sentiments are from Lawn Fawn Little Bundle clear stamp set.  On the inside I heat embossed in white powder on black, Lots of Love (and more laundry). I stamped them in the MISTI with black ink, can’t remember which one! oops!

A2 size…clean, simple and CUTE!

Linking to some challenges…

Freshly Made Sketches #672

Woodblock Wednesday Challenge – oops…there’s no challenge there right now but still giving it a shout out because it triggered me to use a wood mount stamp!

NBUS #71 – Never Before Used Stff!

Simply Clean and Simple February – anything goes CAS, love and /or hearts

The Neglected Stuff Challenge – Kick-Off  (new challenge)  everything on my card has been neglected sad to say!

Thank you for stopping by!

My Favorite Things ‘Right on Track’ Birthday Card…

Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! One of our granddaughters LOVES vinyl, I still call them records, but when I saw this set I HAD to have it!  I LOVE how it turned out!

These cute critters are from My Favorite Things!

I stamped them in the MISTI with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers.  A little white gel pen added after coloring. What a happy musical trio!

My pictures turned out good so there’s five of them! lol

I used an older Memory Box die, Party Music 98757 for the background but I’m linking you to the new die.

The sentiment stamps I used are from Paper Smooches which is closed now but I did see some pages of PS stamps on ebay. The name of the set is Birthday Sampler.

I just used a A2 white cardbase and on the inside I glued an extra record that I had colored.

A clean and simple card but good colorbook therapy!

I’m linking my card to some challenges…

The Neglected Stuff Challenge – this is their kick off…so fun!  I’m excited about this challenge! (my neglected stuff – the party music die and sentiment stamp set)

We Love Stamping February Challenge – Anything Goes and CAS
