Spellbinders Copperplate Happy Anniversary Card…

July 15, 2025 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone and happy anniversary to someone somewhere! A new collection at Spellbinders for the Betterpress machine! Copperplate calligraphy sentiments. Happy Birthday, Happy Everything, Heartfelt Sympathy and Hope You’re Feeling Better pretty much covers everything!

Here’s a close up of how beautiful this impresses! I used Silver Delicata ink. It’s so great that my old ink pads work too!

I love it! At one point I took some classes to attempt to write like this but alas life makes it hard to practice as much as it takes to master it. I still like to do lettering though! I guess making cards took up priority! lol

I die cut the panel with one of the dies from the Spellbinders Emerald Cut Labels and Tag die set and mounted it on a 5×7 navy cardstock panel. Using the Scor-Pal I embossed the corners because it needed something! The card base is A7 size white cardstock.

The flower dies I used are from the Spellbinders Club Blooms set from January of 2023. Timeless!

A traditional looking, Hallmark size type card!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I have to get started on Christmas in July! How are you doing? Anything Christmas yet? hehe

ttul,

Memory Box Cheery Flower Stems and Pinpoint Heart Wedding Card…

July 7, 2025 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Our oldest granddaughter got married in May and this is the card I made for her. I copied a card I made several years ago!

I die cut the Memory Box Pinpoint Heart die in an A2 size white cardstock panel. I added a piece of pattern paper behind it. It was just a random piece that a friend had given me!

I die cut the Memory Box Cheery Flower Stems in solid black cardstock and added a couple enamel dots to the centers.

The sentiment is from the Memory Box Peony Garden Wreath stamp set.

The die cut hearts are from a Paper Smooches die set.

It was a fabulous, beautiful wedding. Lots of memories!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! It’s been a crazy and busy Summer so far. The humidity in Iowa right now is frightful! ugh.

Take care and keep making cards! I’m trying to get back in the groove! lol

Spellbinders Classic Road Legends Release…

May 30, 2025 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s been so long since I posted I hope I haven’t forgotten how! It’s been a busy Spring! It’s time to get back to work though!

My two cards today are part of the May release from Spellbinders. So much potential with these sets for all the men’s occasions we make for!

Die cutting and a little stamping is all for this one! On the inside I stamped “Have a wheel-y great day!”

A2 size. I loved the green color of this cardstock but neither my phone or my Nikon could capture it right! It’s much better in hand! Sun is bright this week I guess! The top and bottom strips and center are silver mirror cardstock.

My next card uses the NEW Timeless Truck!

These colors aren’t right either but oh well! lol Use colors you like is all I can say!

Here I used the NEW stencil set, Scenic Drive, for the background… I love stenciling like this!

Then die cutting and gluing the truck together. I love that it’s so easy to tell where the parts go!

Then a little stamping again with the NEW Cruisin’ By Sentiments. It comes with the dies too! I stamped on the inside too. Forgot to take a picture… “Thought you could use a little pick up”.

I made this a square card but it would be easy to change to an A2, A6 or A7 size to mail with one stamp.

Comment or email if you have any questions!

Thank you so much for stopping by to see my cards!

Time for Another Birthday…The Stamp Market

April 10, 2025 Pam Sparks6 Comments

I bought this card kit from The Stamp Market last year because I thought it’d be so great for masculine cards! This is my second time to use it! You can’t buy it anymore but they have kits coming out all the time and they’re only available for a limited time.

I love how it works up. Oh, I used a Memory Box die on the panel. I’ll see if I can find it.

HERE it is…

Die cutting and a little stamping. Oh, the cake is an old Memory Box die set.

A person could almost make this with circle and rectangle dies. hehe

On the inside I stamped a Penny Black birthday sentiment.

A 2 Size…holler if you have any questions!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Spellbinders Little Smiles Collection Card…

April 1, 2025April 1, 2025 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Cute card to share today! What a fun set! Paired with Little Smiles Sentiments you can cover a few occasions!

I went with Spellbinders cardstock colors that I had…made a darker pink with a Copic marker and white cardstock.

Basic card… die cut and glue. I did Betterpress the Sentiments. So fun… I love this look!

Spellbinders thinks of everything when they create these sets… There’s black pieces to die cut to glue behind the eyes/nose…so easy!

I cut a strip of gray and added the white lines with a gel pen and a ruler.

I used the Nested Postage Labels & Tag set to make the background, then the stitched rectangle in the set to make the panel, then to cut all the background pieces, cloud borders and road.

The cloud border is from the NEW Bundle of Joy set in the Little Smiles Collection. Links below… I used it to cut the clouds and the faux look of green hills behind the bunny/car. I love how it worked up!

Some glitter cardstock for the hub caps and car lights. I think that’s everything.

Thank you so much for clicking over and have a great week! Cardmaking for me today…family birthday!
