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!

Tilda with Heart…

Pam Sparks46 Comments

Queen of hearts… Tilda is such a cutie!  I’m loving this new collection as I’m sure you are too!!!  I used Tilda With Heart from the new You Are So Special die collection .. You’ll ❤ them too!

I also used the Magnolia Doohickey’s dies, Doily Flowers, Tilda’s Lace and Bon voyage Foliage.

Tilda was inked with Memento Tuxedo Black ink , stamped on Beckett Expression Super-smooth 80# card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch markers.  I used E50, 51, 53, 37, 57, 59 on her hair, RV91, 93, 95, 99 on her dress and socks, for her skin I used E000, 00, 01, 21 with R20 and 22 for the blush,  shoes are E43, 44, 47, 49, ground W0, 1, 3, 5 and the heart is R22, 24, 27, 29, 59.  I inked the edge of the rectangle with Antique Linen Distress ink  and the ink blending tool. Rectangle and Heart nestabilities dies.  Lasting Impressions buttons, Tim Holtz filmstrip ribbon, paper cord from JoAnns, My Minds Eye pattern paper and I used the crimper on the die cut border after I cut it,  hard to tell in my photo because the paper is striped but it’s really cool IRL!

Here’s a close up of Tilda all ready for Valentine’s Day!

I’m linking my Tilda to the Just Magnolia Challenge blog, HERE…this week’s challenge is Anything Goes with ribbon and I used the Tim Holtz filmstrip ribbon.   Stamp With Fun Challenge blog, HERE the theme is LOVE…well Tilda is all about “love”  and I used their sketch from last week for my card!  A Spoonful of Sugar Challenge blog, HERE the theme is “Let’s see some love”…got that covered!  Everybody Art Challenge blog, HERE they want to see Valentine.  Papertake Weekly Challenge blog, HERE the theme is “Have a Heart”.  Stamps R Us Challenge blog, HERE the theme is Valentine/Love.

ATS Feb. Preview – Day 3…

Pam Sparks20 Comments

Brown paper packages tied up with string….my favorite things!

Today the ATS DT gals are previewing the new Little Tag Set and Coordinating Die from CC Designs, HERE on the ATS blog. I made a present/box shaped card. When you lift the top flap, the front folds down and you see the inside of the present.

I used the tag stamps, the birthday sentiments, the flower stamp, the tag die and hole reinforcement die from this new set. Cool!

The February release will be in the store, HERE, February 7th!  I’ll post and remind you! lol  I used Kraft card-stock (usually get mine at Hobby Lobby or JoAnns),  Riding Hood Red SU card-stock, the floral pattern paper is from a 4×4 pack of paper by Jenni Bowlin, the ribbon is from SU and the brown kraft paper cord is from JoAnns.  The sentiments and tag frames are stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink and edged with Van Dyke Brown ink by Ranger that is discontinued now…hope they add this color back in one of their lines soon… it’s my fave brown for edging things!

Two pieces of card-stock both scored and folded evenly in half make up this card. I use the Martha Stewart Score Board, HERE.   I cut one piece 5 3/4 in. x 11 in. and the other 4 in. x 6 in. This card has the fold at the bottom instead of the top for the main part (box) of the present.  The box “lid” is scored and folded with the long fold horizontally and then adhered to the larger bottom part of the “box”.  Hope you can tell how it goes together from the picture.  I am going to do this again… it was fun! : )  Holler if you have any questions!

WOW!  Can’t believe it’s Friday already!  Have a great weekend and I’ll see you later!  ‘preciate you stopping by… so glad you do!!!

ATS Feb. Preview – Day 2…

Pam Sparks25 Comments

Welcome Flower Kiki from CC Designs to the Kiki La Rue lineup at All That Scraps.com, HERE!  The February release stamps and stuff will be in the store, Monday, February 7th!

I stamped Kiki with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Beckett Expression Super smooth 80# card-stock… cut her out and then colored with Copic Sketch markers.  Her hair is E50, 51, 53.  Her dress is BG0000, 72 and Y21 and 23 I think (not for sure on that pinafore). The flowers are V91, 93, 95, 97.  Skin, same as yesterday’s card.

I stamped the Swiss Pixies Butterfly Fence, HERE, with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on PaperTrey Ink select white and cut it with a circle Nestabilities die, HERE. The fence is E43, 44.  Flowers are the same.

I edged the sky with Broken China and the grass with Peeled Paint using the ink blending tool, HERE.  Then I went around it again with Vintage Photo…hmmm… not the right color,  it changed the Broken China so I went over the sky again with Stormy Sky.  Distress inks, HERE.

The pattern papers are from the Basic Grey Perhaps 6×6 paper pad… I cut the circle border with the scallop circle nestabilites, HERE.  I love the butterflies in the background on this paper… so subtle and shabby chic!  So… I had this piece of white ribbon from May Arts and wanted it shabbier!  So I stamped the ribbon with SU’s Sanded background stamp on both sides,  tied it in a bow and hit it with the heat gun!!! lol  I didn’t want to  mess with crinkling and dying! lol  I used a Making Memories rhinestone brad on the center of the bow.

Sneak Peek…. the sentiment…. COMING SOON!  : )

I’m linking up to the Basic Grey Challenge, HERE – Flower Power!  The ABC Challenge, HERE – N is for Nesties. Papertake Weekly Challenge, HERE – Anything Goes and Flowers.

More cards on the All That Scraps blog from the ATS design team gals!  You can also link up to win this Kiki stamp!  Thanks for stopping by and see you later!
