Happy 2nd Birthday!

Pam Sparks28 Comments

Not all monkeys belong at the zoo!!!  Some should be at birthday parties!

Cupcake Monkey here to sing Happy Birthday to you and share your birthday celebration! I inked him up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on what…hmmm… can’t remember which paper I used…eek, that was just last night!  It was just a piece laying there! lol  Anyway,  what fun he is to color!  I used Copic Sketch markers, E30’s for his body and E11 on his cheeks and tummy button.  The cupcake paper is the E20’s,  I wanted to use my new E23 again. lol  The cherry is R46, 89, 59… dark cherry… : )  Grass is YG 95, 97, 99.

I made this Free standing pop up card again…. love it… kids love it… the tutorial is on SCS, HERE.  The cupcake border is an EK Success deep edger border punch… tied 1/8th in. grosgrain ribbon in the holes on the top… it’s from Creative Impressions.   Pattern paper is from American Crafts….leaf branch is a Sizzix Sizzlet die.  The number 2 is from the Quickutz die set Diesel, the circle punch is from EK Success and the label punch is from Stampin Up. The cupcake frosting is a Sharpie white poster pin kinda dabbed on so you get some texture.

Linking my pop up Monkey card to Sandys Challenge #3 blog – HERE.

Hope I made you smile with this cutie critter!  Be back tomorrow!

under the weather?

Today I tried out the new Copic Sketch Marker colors!  I do LOVE them!  Here’s Brrr Emma gettin’ out from under the weather by wearing her sweet new Winter clothes!

I stamped Brr Emma, with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Strathmore Bristol Smooth card, masked her and stamped the bench, and colored both with Copic Sketch Markers… face – E0000, 000, 00, 01, R20, 21…hair- YR30 (new), 31, 21, 23, E37…scarf, mittens, diamonds – RV63 (new), 66 (new)…earmuffs, belt – BG0000, 000, 53 (new)…sweater & pants – YG61 (new), 63, 67…socks – BG0000, 000, 01…shoes T0, 3, 5 …bench – E21,23 (new), 25, 27, 29.  (The green is really not “dingy” in person…not sure why it won’t show up right in the photo except for my photo skills are lacking..boohoo… in other words I don’t know what to change!)

I stamped “under the weather?”, with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  The sentiment is from the new Feb. release Amy R. Get Well set… love all the CC Designs sentiment sets!

Martha Stewart around the page punch set..not sure what the teeny snowflake stamp is… unmounted and it’s been on the desk for some time… hmmmm….I stamped it in Broken China distress ink.

I layered Emma up on a bunch of ovals cut with Nestabilities dies.  No pattern paper anywhere! lol  I did distress the edges with the Tim Holtz distress tool… popped up snowflakes here and there…stickles on the snowflakes.

Talk to you again soon!

CC Designs Spring Kiki LaRue w/Doohickey’s Dies…

Pam Sparks40 Comments

A simple, sweet Spring Kiki LaRue Easel card.


I used Spring Kiki LaRue, Amy R’s Get Well sentiments, CC Designs Tags it stamps and dies set and Magnolia Doohickey’s dies.  I love the doily, the berry lace and the mistletoe dies,  but do you see what I added to the mistletoe? Posies!!!   I made the posies with the tag reinforcement circles from the new Tags It stamps and dies set from CC Designs this month!  It just tickled my fancy! lol

The pattern paper is from a DCWV 4.5 x 6.5 paper stack I picked up at JoAnn’s.  An odd size to work with but I finally made myself do it! lol  Then it was hard to cover up the pattern! ugh!  Lots of sparkle….


Kiki is stamped on Beckett Expression Candlelight Super smooth 80# cover card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

  • hair – E40’s
  • dress – G40, 82, 85 and then W0, 1, 3 over the top to try to match the green in the paper
  • shoes – warm grays
  • pinks are R000, 00, 01, 02, 05, 08
  • skin – E0000, 000, 00 and diluted R20, 21, 22 on her cheeks

Thanks for visiting my blog and chatting with me again!  I appreciate your friendship!

Sugar ‘n Spice Marci…

Pam Sparks29 Comments

Another cupcake kind of day!  Marci’s been in the kitchen!  This is Sugar ‘n Spice Marci from La-la Land Crafts, in the store at All That Scraps.com, HERE. So cute and fun to color!

I colored Marci with the E50’s series of copic sketch markers… skin E50, 51, 53… dress,  hair, shoes, cupcake E53, 55, 57, 59. No other colors or pencils or anything.  I used a piece of some old 9×9 Tim Holtz pattern paper… I have a bunch of all the patterns if anyone wants to buy some… I’ll make you a good deal! lol  The sentiment is a Penny Black stamp.  I distressed the edges with the Tim Holtz distressing tool and then edged with Vintage Photo Distress ink (Antique Linen on the words first and then VP) HERE and the Ink Blending tool HERE.   Stapled around with Tim’s tiny attacher.  Some EK Success punches, the flower and border…the leaves are the SU bird/branch punch and the cord through the flower is that paper cord from JoAnn’s.  Hope I didn’t forget anything.

I’m linking up to two challenge blogs…

What’s NEW at the store???  Christine has added Penny Black, HERE!  And the new Bildmalarna’s are so cute, HERE… I have three to color up… I need to quit reading and sleeping!  : )

Have a wonderful Sunday! Thanks for stopping by!  ttul

Magnolia, Tilda with Heart Lace and Twisted Easel tutorial…

Pam Sparks55 Comments

I had to try my hand at another twisted easel card.

Here’s a close up of this cutie Tilda… she makes me smile!

Tilda with Heart Lace is from the NEW, You Are So Special Collection.  I also used the Happy Birthday stamp, the Mini Zig Zag and Scalloped Lace die,  the Romantic Lace die and the Romantic Lace Tag all from that same NEW collection. I also used the Doohickey’s Swirl die.

How I made this Twisted Easel Card…

  • first I made the 6×6 card front, colored the image, layered it up, etc

  • then the card base as follows in the photos below…

  • now you will score your “in half” fold and your diagonal with your bone folder so you have nice, sharp folds and it will look like the next photo
  • decorate the base so it holds your easel in place when it’s open.  Oh and I should say the card folds flat for mailing!  cool!

The Martha Stewart Score board is awesome!  I love the 1/8 in. marks all the way across and I love making my own 6×6 envelopes.   The pattern paper is from a Basic Grey 6×6 paper pad… the orange card-stock is from Stampin Up… it really is orange/pumpkin, not red.  I used Copic Sketch Markers to color Tilda… skin is E000, 00, 01, 21,  hair is E50, 51, 53, 55, 57,  dress is BV0000, 000, 00, 01, 02, 04,  shadowed a little with C00 and C1.  oh her shoes are E43, 44, 47 and the grass is a crazy mess of greens!!! lol

Have FUN with this “twist” on the Easel card!!!  ttul!
