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.

Two Memory Box 4th of July Cards…

July 3, 2021July 3, 2021 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone!!! How do you celebrate the birthday of America? We meet at our middle daughter’s and watch the fireworks. Always good for a few mosquito bites. grrrr

This CAS card is the 2nd card I came up with, scroll down for the 1st. I had the idea to use this Vertical Line Collage in a flag way. I didn’t realize that I wanted it CAS though until after I was almost done with the one below! lol So there’s a card for both styles today! CAS and CAS plus! lol

God Bless America!

The stars and stripes for this birthday wish! I planned on using a big star but when I took my dies out of my star category, I saw this one and some others and got sidetracked from my plan! lol

Which one do you like better? I almost think this one could be two cards… the stripes with USA on it and the star border with the sentiment! lol

I had fun anyway… I kept thinking I needed to add some of those star brads I have in the stash! I had to tell myself, no that would be another card! lol

I like this last picture the best…funny how tipping just a bit shows the dimension. I wish I’d had them done sooner so I could mail them to someone! Such a last minute looloo!

Enjoy the festivities this weekend! I do enjoy fireworks…except the booms! haha Shopping is quieter!

poppystamps Country Barn Pop Up Easel Whittle Pig CUTE Card…

June 28, 2021June 28, 2021 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! This little piggy cleaned up to bring you this special message today! lol The new poppystamps Country Barn Pop Up Easel set is SUCH a FUN die set! This is an A2 size.

I added in Memory Box new woodgrain cardstock, inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

poppystamps Whittle chickens die cut in white and inked with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink and Whittle Cloud Border dies cut with Memory Box new cardstock.

poppystamps Whittle Sunshine die die cut in Memory Box new cardstock.

poppystamps Whittle Wild Animal Sentiments stamp set, Word Balloons die and Whittle Pig…I layered up three of the pig and then a couple more layers of just his snout! I just love it! I die cut him in white, inked him with Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide Ink and added in some shading with a Copic Sketch Marker R14. A little white gel pen for accenting.

I stamped ‘Missing you Pig Time’ on white Neenah cardstock and die cut it with the narrowest die in the Memory Box Slim Basic Rectangle die set. I am using that die over and over! Then I matted it with the next size up die and MB woodgrain cardstock again. Yes, I have to cut one end to get the length but I just insert the cut back into the die, tape it and barely run over the end. I use one of the Sizzix Sidekick cutting plates in my Big shot so I can just cut the very end! Slick! I should make a video. ❤

This is one of those cards that just makes me happy! I hope it makes you smile and inspires you to make something today!

Oh, there are several other animals that go with the barn and sentiments too! A Goat even! So fun!

See you again soon!

P.S. The new AC is in and running wonderfully! So thankful! I have to be cool! lol
