Memory Box Deep Blue Ocean and Bubble Border…

August 23, 2021 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everybody! Working through the Memory Box release…. thinking of you and I had to use this Vitamin Sea sentiment again! Many of you know me and I’m a vitamin C user! hehe

I started by inking a mini slim line panel with Tumbled Glass oxide ink, lightly marked where the circles were with a pencil, then stamped the school of fish stamp from the Deep Blue Ocean stamp set randomly over the larger circles. Then I stamped the ocean greenery images from the same set in dark greens.

Then I covered the panel with a piece of vellum…like you’re looking through glass…

I inked the top panel with Oxide inks, Salty Ocean and my Peacock Feathers brush without adding more ink. Spattered it with water.

Let it dry, then stamp the sentiments from the set using the MISTI and Ranger Archival Black ink.

I colored and die cut the cute little fishy with Copic markers but then I decided I didn’t like the white around it so I fussy cut it and mounted it on the panel with mounting tape.

On the inside I stamped the Feel Better Soon stamp from the set.

This is a great set… it can go for any occasion with the variety of sentiments! Birthday, Just Because, Sympathy and get well!

Thanks for stopping by on this beautiful how can it be the end of August day!!!

Hello Bluebird Fishin’ Hole Shadowbox Card…

August 17, 2021October 7, 2021 Pam Sparks16 Comments

Meet me at the fishin’ hole! It’s a beautiful day! lol Here’s the card I made for our grandson Corrin who just turned 12! He loves to fish with Grandpa!

I saved this idea from Instagram/designs by mommajean when I saw it last year. So much fun! I made the video after I gave it to Corrin and he showed me that it looked like the fish were swimming when you bend it back and forth! ❤

I didn’t have a shadowbox die set that would work for what I wanted to do so I had to make this up as I went. No instructions, just some Math! lol

Stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird, Memory Box and Lawn Fawn. I’ll link below.

I stamped, die cut the images and colored with Copic Sketch markers. Since alcohol marker ink saturates through to the back side, I die cut a piece of white cardstock to glue behind the colored images.

Bushes and grass dies in the background from Hello Bluebird…

I took a lot of pictures!

Memory Box dies for the greens and coral in the water…

I used a piece of acetate to cover the opening…

Distress Oxide inks for the blues and sandy shore…

Corrin really liked it and the money in the envelope too! lol

Thank you for stopping by! ttul

Memory Box Floral Chain Card…

August 12, 2021 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m seeing so many posts with flowers these days! It was fun to die cut this NEW die from Memory Box, Floral Chain, in watercolor paper and paint it up!

I used the small tropical palette from Prima to paint the flowers and butterfly.

I used a lavender cardbase, then a black A2 size panel, poppystamps Lattice Plate cut in Neenah 110# Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, poppystamps Orchard Leaves die cut in watercolor paper and colored with the same palette and Memory Box Glade Butterfly die cut in watercolor paper and colored with the same palette.

Dewdrop Fairy Sugar glitter glue on the flower centers and butterfly wings.

On the inside I stamped this sentiment from Memory Box Joyful Moments clear stamp set with Ranger Archival Black ink.

On the front I used one of the banners from the new Memory Box Banner Sentiment Trio die set. I stamped the Happy Birthday from the new Memory Box Deep Blue Ocean clear stamp set and Ranger Archival Black ink.

This card screams Summer! I hope the recipient will enjoy it!

Thank you for visiting my blog today… happy almost weekend to you!

Memory Box Fantasy, Imperial, Stone Keep Castle Collage Dies Card…

July 23, 2021July 22, 2021 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! More new dies from Memory Box! Check out these new dies to make a magical card for that special someone! I can see these being used for so many occasions and for both children and adults!

There are three new collage dies, top one is Fantasy Castle Collage, middle one is Imperial Castle Collage and bottom one is Stone Keep Castle Collage. Fun names! I used 3 shades of gray from the Memory Box Earth Neutral Collection 6×6 cardstock pad.

I layered them on an A2 size card. I wanted a little separation but not a lot so I could stick it in the mail. So I took a piece of chipboard and put score-tape on both sides and made my own mounting strips but they aren’t foam or thick. It just gives a little bit of lift. I really like how it looks IRL.

The peachy pink colors are from the Memory Box Berry Red Collection 6×6 cardstock pad.

I die cut the background pink color with the Memory Box Pinpoint Burst Plate die.

The sentiment is from the new Memory Box Majestic Achievements stamps and die set. I stamped it on the peachy pink color and trimmed it and layered it on the white die cut. You wouldn’t need to do this but I did a lousy job stamping it on the die cut piece so I cut it out! lol Super cute castle stamp, sentiments and banners.

Maybe you can see the dimension a little bit better in this picture.

and here’s the inside….I used the castle stamp and one of the sentiments in the stamp set. Super cute! Still room to sign!

Thank you for stopping by today! Happy Summer weekend to you!

Memory Box and poppystamps ‘anything is popsicle’ Shaker Card!

July 13, 2021 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Do you agree? Such a cute sentiment! A Summer shaker card with poppystamps Whittle Popsicle die, Memory Box Nested Globes, Memory Box Grain Planks (cut to be narrower), NEW Banner Sentiment Trio die and NEW poppystamps Life is Sweet Clear Stamp set!

Here’s a video to show how it works…it’s not deep so they don’t move around a lot. It looks a lot better when you click watch on You Tube. lol

I made this mini slim size… 3 ½ in x 6 in. It works so well for some things!

I die cut everything from Neenah 110# Solar White Smooth Classic Crest cardstock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

I added dots to the inside background piece with the same Copics also.

I only used one layer of mounting tape around the perimeter of the globe. I used the thin strips you can buy, but cutting your own would work too! I’ll link below.

Super cute little popsicles…the die comes with two on it, one with the cute face and stitch lines and the other solid.

I forgot to take a picture of the inside! ugh. But there’s a new poppystamps sentiment set called Marzipan Greetings that’s so cute and the sentiment ‘it’s the little things’ is perfect for the inside! I like some of the other ones for this too!

I don’t know who I’m going to send this to yet! Here we are in the middle of Summer already though! Wow, this year is going by fast!

Thank you for visiting my blog today! I’m going to go make some more and see what I can come up with! Have you checked out the new Memory Box/poppystamps release? hehe I’ll link below.
