Spellbinders February Release Flower Cart Card…

Pam Sparks4 Comments

Hi everyone!  Some fun, floral die cutting happening around here! Talk about sweet little flowers!  Super cute set!

Straight forward die cutting!  I didn’t use any stamps!  A little Copic marker though but no ink blending which is unusual for me too!

On can never have too many birthday cards in the stash!  I used the Simon Hurley Handwritten Sentiments die set for the happy birthday greeting.

I wanted to add some clouds in the sky and thought, why not make it the sentiment in the clouds!

It’s an A7 size card…move over Hallmark! haha

I pretty much used scraps except for the background and cardbase!

Thank you so much for stopping by today…we need the thoughts of Spring in Iowa today…. -8˚  this morning when I got up.  BRRRRR   Next week shows warmer….we’ll appreciate it!

Spellbinders NEW Kelly Bangs Dies and Stamps…

Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone!  This NEW Pieced Heart from Spellbinders is perfect for a shape card!  I went Valentines Day but it could easy be for so many occasions!

I wish I’d thought to do real sewing machine stitching before I taped it together on the back with scor-tape!  Next time!  It’d be real pretty for a wedding card!

I used the NEW Speech Bubble Sentiments to stamp the dots and grids on the front and the sentiments inside.  Super cute set!  Speech Bubble dies too with stitch lines!  YAY!

I’m patting myself on the back for remembering to take pictures of the inside! lol

These stamped up so nice…pretty sure they said made in the USA!  I always love that!

I inked up the edges of everything with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and a mini ink blending tool.

The bow and ribbon on the front are from the Festive Ornaments set S5-607.

The lettering for LOVE and XO is from Parcel and Post Heart Decorations die set S2-351.

I did the white stitching on the perimeter of the heart with a white gel pen. I debated for a day whether to add it or not! lol

If I was mailing this I would use an A7 envelope with one forever stamp.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  It’s a snowglobe world here today!  Finally getting snow! ttul!

Simon Says Stamp Postage Collage Cover Card with Fresh Brewed Hearts…

Pam Sparks8 Comments

Heart day is coming!  I forgot I had this Valentine made!  So it’s usurping a birthday card post.

This was fun…I had scraps of white and there’s always scraps of colors to use!  Keep that trash can by your side! lol  I always laugh at myself when I’m picking a piece back out!

Super fun cover die from Simon Says Stamp.  I love that you get all that postage in one pass of the die cutting machine!  I had extras too!

I used the cute heart die from the Tim Holtz Fresh Brewed Sidekick Side-Order set to cut a heart in each of the postage rectangles.  FUN!  I don’t know about you but growing up, making Valentines was always a highlight of the year!  I loved those books that you cut out the valentine and the envelope.  I only wish I’d kept some of those valentines from grade school years!

Happy Valentines Day is from the Simon Says Stamp Love and Valentines Word Mix2 stamp set.  Super fun set!  I stamped it in Potting Soil Archival ink from Wendy Vecchi.

Cord is from my stash but I’ll link you to something similar below.

A2 size card!

I hope you get a chance to make some Valentines.  I keep putting stuff in a pile to make! lol  Here’s hoping anyway!

Tim Holtz Fresh Brewed Sidekick Side-Order Birthday Card…

Pam Sparks9 Comments

Wishing you a warm birthday card…  So much potential for this set for any occasion! Make it flakey!

Once again I was inspired by a gal on instagram….I’ll link to her on my post there.

The NEW Tim Holtz Sidekick Side-Order set, thinlets dies and a texture fades embossing folder.

I embossed the folder, trimmed it down, inked it with some Gathered Twigs distress ink and glued it directly to a white Hammermill cardbase.

I die cut the sentiment from Tim Holtz Thin, Sentiment Words die set.  I used scor-tape on the back so I could just insert the blue letters back in. I can’t find this set to link to.

Die cut the mugs, steam and snowflakes.  The snowflakes are from the Tim Holtz Twig and Stump die set. I can’t find this set to link to. I used the super thin mounting tape I love so much, on the mugs!  It’s sticky so I use the scissors I’ll link below.

So fun…you could easy just use paper scraps and come up with all kinds of designs for all seasons!
