Pam Sparks23 Comments

PamSparksTulipStemsFront

Thank you So much – white heat embossed on vellum.  So fun that vellum is new again!  I die cut, embossed and colored the Tulip Stems die with Copic Sketch markers… V22, 25, 28 and YG21, 23, 25, 17.

Memory Box Distress Dot violet paper and Violet A-2 Notecard.

I’m entering this card in the CASE Study Challenge #176.

Here’s a close up…

I just had to use this Queen of Hearts die!  Of course you think of black and red with Queen things!  oh and Silver glitter paper is a must! haha

PamSparksQueenofHeartsFront
I dry embossed the NEW Flourish Stencil on the red heart and rubbed over it with a little Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

Just a subtle look but I like that it’s delicate to go with the fine lines of the die!

This die cuts perfect and beautiful every time!

Here, I used the NEW Yorkshire Tree, Yorkshire Tree background and Library Alphabet Tags dies.  The letters ‘Y’ and ‘U’ are from the tag set also and the hearts are from the Cherish Border die. I colored the trunk of the tree with a copic marker.  I just love the pop of red in the green!

Here I used the NEW Piano Border and Perky Poppy dies.  The sentiment is Just a Note Combo. I added the detail on the leaves with a copic marker.

PamSparksPianoBorderFront

LOVE this keyboard and how can you not love this Perky Poppy!  I even love the name!

Next…

PamSparksPartyMusicHeart625

Here I used the NEW Party Music, Musical Motifs, Heart of Hearts, Sweet Heart, Queen of Hearts and Alphabet Soup dies. (I just used the heart cut from the center of the Queen of Hearts die)  I cut the Cupid Heart out of red card-stock and it is glued on the inside of the card behind the Heart of Hearts that is cut directly in the white notecard.

Next…

PamSparksHappyBirthdayButterflySide

Here I used the NEW Grand Happy Birthday, Norwich Corner and Lunette Butterfly dies.  I cut the corner die twice, left one complete and cut one up to use here and there.

PamSparksHappyBirthdayButterflyFront

Printworks Collection Rudolph…

PamSparksPWRudolphClosedFlat

Here’s a jolly Rudolph for you!  I love these flip card dies from Sizzix… easy to decorate with stamps!

PamSparksPWRudolphClosed

It’s always hard to know how to photograph this type of picture.  The card folds completely flat for mailing/storage.  I have the front panel bottom right corner tucked behind the tag to keep it kinda closed but it will stand on it’s own like this.

PamSparksPWRudolphFrontOpen

Here it is in partial ‘flip’ mode!  I should’ve just made a video! lol  There’s Wink of Stella Clear Glitter on his nose and on the area surrounding his nose… hard to see in the photo though.

PamSparksPWRudolphInside

The ‘flip’ side of the front panel… I bet you were expecting ‘let it snow’!  I love this Let it Glow stamp!  Perfect for Rudolph or anything sparkly, pretty and wintery!

PamSparksCraftsMeowClose2

Super, super close up first today because I wanted you to see the Judikins Micro Beads I used over the Poinsettia image. There are two sizes of beads from Judikins… I used the Micro Beads but there is also a Clear Beads that is equally as fun!  I have a couple other posts using them here on my blog.  I colored with Copics, covered it with a sheet of double sided tape and applied the Micro Beads.  I love this look!  IRL it really has vintage appeal to me.

PamSparksCMPoinsettiaFront

First I matted the image in black with the 1/16  inch ruler… than the red with the ¼ inch ruler and the green with the  ⅜ inch ruler.  Perfect Layers Rulers save me so much time!  Link to shop in my sidebar…be sure to use my code to save!

I love this beautiful Holiday Poinsettia clear stamp set from The Craft’s Meow!   The stamps inked up and stamped perfectly!  Always love that! and made in the USA!!!  Several sentiments in the set to choose from too.  The Craft’s Meow designers have created gorgeous cards with this set HERE.
