Like a Rose….

Pam Sparks28 Comments

Are you singing it yet?  The line from the song “Evergreen”…. haha, now it’ll be stuck in your brain for days!  I always hate that! sorry!   Lovin’ my light tent!  It was so fast to capture this card tonight!  yea!  Scroll down for the video on how I made it!

This is the new rolling rose die from CC Cutters…I’ll do a little video for it soon!  How come a gal gets all video crazy after she gets a video camera?! lol   I used Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden papers, clear stamps and Ephemera Bits  for this card.  The lacy border and vine are from My Favorite Things… links below!  Pearls from Hero Arts… colored them with copic marker E55.

Guilty….just checked in at All That Scraps…Christine has added lots of new,  HERE…

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great Friday and weekend!  I know it’s another busy one for most!

Be Good Laugh…

Pam Sparks22 Comments

Meet Laugh…one of the new Laugh Lines gals from CC Designs. When this new rolled rose die and new Authentique Christmas 6×6 paper pad arrived this week, I decided I needed to make a Christmas card with this cutie!  Then I thought it could be birthday even!  Our oldest daughter’s birthday is Christmas Day,  so I might be adding the check off box…naughty or nice! lol  Oops,  goofed…should’ve made her with red hair!

Laugh is stamped on PaperTrey Ink Select White Card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Hair – E50, 23, 25, 27, 29… Skin – E000, 00, 01, R20, 21, (teeny bit of 22)… Dress/leggings – E81, 87 (had to do some tip to tip coloring)… Shoes – E43 ,44, 47, 49… Eyes – B21, 23.

I stamped the holly around the perimeter of the stamped image with Forest Moss Distress ink  (stamped off on scrap paper first each time because the first impression was too dark).  The holly corners and fill in stamps are oldies but goodies from Stampa Rosa.  I’m sure they are out there somewhere because I have similar ones from other companies. I aged the edges with Antique Linen Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

The rose is made with the new CC Cutters rolling rose die…so pretty!  I cut it with Stampin Up Real Red card-stock,  did a little shaping, rolled it up, glued it and spritzed it with Pearl Glimmer Mist.  A few leaf fronds and holly from Martha Stewart punches and I love it!

Hot, Hot Days of Summer

Pam Sparks43 Comments

SSSSShiver Me Timbers! is right!  It’s been so hot in Iowa this Summer!   I think the heat effects my creativity!  eek! This card took a few twists and turns before it turned into this diorama style card!

I used my Coluzzle templates to cut the ovals… Kraftin’ Kimmie Pirate Phrases stamp set…Tim Holtz screw brads around the oval frame…Martha Stewart Shells border punch…Hero Arts woodgrain background stamp.

The card/diorama is 5/8 inch deep,  so you can move it to make it flat (folds down to 6×6) to fit in an envelope!  Love this style of card… I made one for Christmas when I was the guest designer for All That Scraps back in Nov. ’09, HERE.  Years ago I made a snowman scene that I still keep out on top of a bookcase! lol

Here’s the back… this is going to our Grandson Henry for his 5th birthday.  Today is our Granddaughter Gena’s 4th birthday and my dear friend Alice’s birthday too!  Happy Birthday to YOU!

Linking to Just Magnolia Challenge blog… Anything Goes is the theme, Papertake Weekly Challenge blog…Anything Goes – add metal is the theme and Cute Card Thursday Challenge blog…No designer paper is the theme.

Here’s the stamps and stuff I used to create this card…


Thanks for stopping by!  I LOVE hearing from you and sharing stamping inspiration back and forth!

Flower Laugh and Bee Laugh…

Pam Sparks15 Comments

Bringing you sunshine and flowers!  This is Flower Laugh!  The new gal on the block from CC Designs!    So cute with her quirky little smile!!!  Personality +++! So fun to color too!

Flower Laugh is a cling mount stamp… I inked her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink,  stamped her on Strathmore Bristol Smooth card and colored her with Copic Sketch markers

To complement the new Laugh Lines stamps, Christine illustrated a set of four postal stamps…also cling mount stamps. (to cut out the postage looking half circle,  I use my Japanese screw punch!)

The “thinking of you” sentiment is from another new set we’ll be previewing later this week, called Mixed Sentiments!  I cut it out with one of the banners from the CC Cutters banner set.

I used the sketch from Mojo Monday Challenge blog, HERE,  for my Flower laugh card.

Next up… Bee Laugh… spunky little character!  love her!

Another postal stamp from the Postage Laugh set…another new sentiment from a set we’ll be previewing tomorrow!  I also used the CC Cutters Dottie Trim die, link below…

Stamps and stuff I used for my cards today…

Thanks so much for stopping by…I’ll be back!  Lots to preview this week!

Easel card with two mini easel add ons…

Hot, Hot Days of Summer

No denying it’s hot right now!  So with that on our minds we might as well stamp and color inside where it’s cool!  I like that plan! : )  I LOVE this new Sweet Rainbow collection!

Another easel card with two add ons and a video on how I made the base…

I forgot to take a picture of this card closed!  It all folds down flat and will fit in an envelope!  The Lazy Summer Days “stopper” goes down and back.  Ponytail Tilda layer lifts up and folds to the front flat.  Cool Edwin, the same and the last tall layer is the card front working just like a regular Easel card.

here’s a front view…

All Magnolia stamps,  inked with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped on Strathmore Bristol Smooth heavy card…really nice paper and colored with Copic Sketch markers.  I used I don’t know how many dies too… I’ll link up below.  The little birds are pillow stickers by EK Success!!!  I LOVE them!

Close again…

Oh,  I wish you could see this in person… it is really charming!  It will be on the mantle for awhile I’m sure!

I’m linking my card to some other challenges also…
