August 31, 2021August 31, 2021 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone! This box card makes me so happy! I love it so much! So fun to color and put together! Making a card like this is like starting out on a journey and you’re not quite sure where you’ll end up! lol ❤

This card was for one of our grandsons, Cedryk. Not curly blonde hair but just as cute! ❤

Our grandsons found the new show Adventure Agents a year or so ago and boy have they had fun! When I asked Ced what he wanted for his birthday card this year he told me a boy cutting down trees! I said, “ok”…told myself not to panic yet… lol Came home and started looking through the stash and thinking! This is where I ended up and I was thrilled! YAY! So thankful to have this cardmaking challenge to keep me smiling!

So here’s some more pictures!

I stamped, cut him out by hand and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Timber!!!!

from the side… I had to trim down the MFT grass dies to fit.

a little bit more of the perspective/depth…

It folds flat to fit in an envelope! YAY!

I hope he made you smile… thank you for stopping by my blog! I love sharing my cards with you!

Cottage Cutz Gnome Sleeping in Hammock Card…

April 23, 2021April 23, 2021 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! Something a little different this week…a sleepyhead! A cute sleepyhead though!

I die cut this Gnome Sleeping in Hammock from Cottage Cutz, all in Neenah 110# white cardstock and colored the pieces with Copic Sketch Markers. Easy coloring and I didn’t have to find cardstock scraps to die cut all the little pieces. The only drawback is, you aren’t helping to use up your scraps stash! ho ho

Thinking about a sentiment… I grabbed a new set from My Favorite Things and used one of the sentiments. I’m not sure who I’ll send this to! It’s using that naughty B word that Tim and I didn’t let the girls use when they were growing up! It was find something to do or I’ll find you something to do! lol

I made a grass stencil with a Memory Box Grass die. Using a TE ink blending brush and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink, I did the grass.

Using a My Favorite Things cloud stencil, a TE ink blending brush and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink, I did the sky.

This is an A2 size card….blank on the inside so far!

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope this little guy made you smile!

Cottage Cutz Peeker Snowmen Birthday Card…

November 30, 2019November 30, 2019 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Cute card warning….and these snowmen fit the part! It’s a dreary windy, rainy day here. A little blog cheer is called for!

My white pen was acting up…grrr. The cardinals have a dot of black enamel accents on their eyes.

I die cut the snowmen in white and colored all the parts with Copic Sketch Markers.

I die cut the music in black and left it complete…die cut it again in white and cut out the snowflakes and glued them over the black ones.

The background is Distress Oxide inks and the mini ink blending tools…Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot.

This is for our oldest daughter that was born on Christmas Day!

I was inspired by Leslie Miller’s 2nd card HERE. It’s funny the twists and turns a card takes as it comes to life! Kinda like Frosty! lol
