CC Designs Swiss Pixies February Review Day! I used Pixie Lucy, Woodland Daisy and Woodland Logos…

She’s so sweet!

Images are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used some different Copic colors this time…for me anyway! For the pink clothes I started out with R11. Then teeny amounts of R12 and R20. On her Wings I used R0000 all over, then R000, 00, 01 and 02. The greens are BG90’s. The big flower is R20, R43 and R46. The teeny flowers are E24, E07 and E59. Her hair is E50, 51, 53, 55. Acorns are the E40’s.

The paper is from one of those 4×6 ish paper pads from DCWV called Mariposa.

LOVE the Woodland Daisy “seat” and AmyR Stamps Be Happy sentiments…”just sitting here thinking of YOU”! (stamped with my trusty stamp a ma jig…LOVE that thing!) Check out the super tiny acorns on the Woodland Pixie Logo… I cut out a couple and popped them up!

Thanks for stopping by to see my Swiss Pixie Lucy card today! I love hearing from you and I’ll be around soon! Working on some other cards to share soon!

Happy Valentines Day dear stamping friends!!!

Meet Ice Skating Don! Isn’t he the coolest…just gliding along without a care in the world! This is going to be a birthday card so that’s why I used the number paper from one of the newer My Minds Eye 6×6 paper pads. Can you keep up with paper pads these days? eek! as soon as I get what I think is new, there are a bunch more new ones out! I can’t keep up with them all and I’m gonna have to wallpaper the outhouse with them! lol NOT! lol

I forgot to take a photo of the tag… it says “Love you much” and it’s from Printworks new Love/Valentine release… I’ll link it up below too.

The fence (super cute bird and birdhouse too) and tree are new dies from Marianne Design and the ice skater is new from Marianne Design’s Don and Daisy clear stamp line! They are so fun! You’ll be seeing more of them from me! Don is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers. Hair – E30, 23, 25, 27, 29, Skin – E000, 00, 21 and R20, Head wrap and sweater – Y21, 26, 28, Scarf and Leg Warmers – BG70,72,75, Jeans – B90’s. The tree is the one I stamped in this video HERE.

Everything is edged with Antique Linen and Walnut Stain Distress ink using the ink blending tools.

Linking up to the Papertake Weekly challenge blog…anything goes with an option of adding a heart/hearts… I have a little one on the tag! yea!

Smile!

January 31, 2012August 6, 2013 Pam Sparks29 Comments

You can’t help yourself! So go ahead and smile, laugh out loud… giggle even! lol This rosy cheeked Mushroom Girl is a new Swiss Pixie Lucy from CC Designs February stamp release. Melt you heart sweet! I paper pieced her, shaded with Copics and colored her hair and skin with Copics too. Check out the super cute in the forest circle logo stamp from the new Woodland Logos set and a new Leaves and Acorns die set… two different acorns and two different leaves… I just used one of each here… awesome!

I’m linking my Mushroom Girl card to the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 151 – I used their sketch for my card. At Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog – it’s Anything Goes!

And here’s a front panel step card with new Swiss Pixie Woodland Lucy, Woodland Daisy and Woodland Logos…

Here I used both acorns and both leaves from the new Leaves and Acorns die set. Notice the Daisies seed packet…the oval says Wooden…that’s Christine’s last name! So fun! I had to cut all those pieces out and pop them up! I just love this card! So earthy in colors and cute! I made this a couple weeks ago and of course can’t remember the copics I used… oh why do I think I’ll remember… I know myself better than that!

The smile sentiment in the first card and the I’m here for you sentiment are from a new AmyR Stamps sentiment set called Be Happy.

Here’s the inside…more from the sentiment set, another acorn AND a fabulous new border die called , Mushroom border! (I just used a couple pieces of it)

here’s another take a little from the side…

that’s it from me today.

Love that you stop in to see what I’ve been up to! I appreciate your visit and love receiving your comments. I’ll be stopping by soon!

Magnolia…Stolen Heart Edwin

January 29, 2012April 23, 2013 Pam Sparks37 Comments

Who stole my heart? My achy breaky heart! That Edwin…at it again! This handsome guy is one of the new images from Magnolia’s Sweet Crazy Love collection.

I created a scene using the sketch from Stempeleinmaleins Challenge blog… I used Magnolia stamps, Edwin and the heart/love corner…Magnolia’s Doohickey Mini Zig Zag die for the grass…love it!

When you see the sketch, you’ll see why I used the branches in the top corners…a unique photo corner! lol I was going to use the CCD Cutter parenthesis die with the AmyR Stamps All About Love sentiment, Be My Valentine but then decided to lay it up in the corner and there it stayed!

The polka dot paper is from the Echo Park, Yours Truly 6×6 paper pad.

Stamps, dies …

Dark Chocolate…

January 25, 2012January 25, 2012 Pam Sparks17 Comments

It’s a dark chocolate cuppy cake kind of day! My card for the reminder post over on the All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge blog. The challenge going on right now is a color challenge.. Blue, Brown and Tan. I really meant for this to be a true blue card but the new Farmhouse 8×8 pattern paper pad was hogging my desktop, crying for use, so I went with it. Ugh! So my card is “kinda blue”! Rolling my eyes…@@ At least I got the brown right and kraft is tan, isn’t it? Today it is the new tan!!! lol Head over and create for a chance to win!

The half doily is cut from one of the pieces of pattern paper in the pad. Hug Snug ribbon dyed with a Walnut Stain distress stain. All the pieces are edged with Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool. Instead of messing with thread for the buttonholes, I cut a sliver of card-stock to thread the button with… glue it on the back… slick.

The cupcake die is so cool…the bottom embosses, I used a little copic marker from the bottom up on the cupcake paper… Y28… the dark chocolate is enhanced with E40, 44,47,49. I tried vintage shard glass glitter on the top but just didn’t like it w/the more old fashioned feel of the papers so took it off and colored it and added the button instead! The cupcake logo is stamped on a piece of the paper from the pad too.

I used the sketch from Sweet Stop Sketches Challenge blog HERE…

So that’s my bit of shabby chic for today. Wish it was healthy to eat these things for breakfast, lunch and supper! Hey, just stick a carrot in the top! Carrots make everything healthy, right?! ha! oh that reminds me of the broccoli ATC I made for a friend one year… it was a picture of a broccoli cake! She hates broccoli! lol

I found the picture of it…hahaha… well, I think it’s funny anyway! lol
