Birch Press Design Flora Plate and Make a Wish Cards…

March 24, 2022 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Yikes, it’s Thursday already! I almost didn’t buy this NEW Saltwater Taffy ink color! I caved and bought regular, regular refill and oxide. Sometimes I think I need the sprays but maybe I could make a spray with the refill if I needed to make a mess! haha

I used the ink pad to color my cardstock. Hammermill Color Copy Smooth 100# Cover is what I used for all the parts of this card. I use it some for copic coloring too.

I inked up two A2 panels, one with Saltwater Taffy and one with Abandoned Coral regular distress and blending brushes and or tools. Then I did three smaller pieces with Saltwater Taffy, Abandoned Coral and Bundled Sage. You can pretty much tell what I die cut with what from my pictures.

I die cut the leaves in the same white from the NEW Memory Box Layered Impatiens die set and inked them up also. I love these leaves!

The flowers were the waste from cutting layer A, they were white so I inked them too.

It’s a really pretty, feminine color and card in real life! I had to add some pinkish Memory Box Fairy Jewels to the flower centers.

I made this next card first to get a feel of how the layers looked together. I hadn’t planned on finishing it at first because, weird colors! lol Not Spring at all but I like it so I’m gonna throw one picture of it on here! lol

This is the Flora Plate layers AB and C again with a sentiment from the NEW Birch Press Design Kind Hearts stamp set. This is such a gorgeous set! I love it for front and inside sentiments.

Holler if you have any questions! Both cards are A2 size.

Thanks for stopping by!

Memory Box Enchanting Poppy Stems Card…

March 8, 2022March 8, 2022 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hello! I had the urge to make more of a pastel card yesterday but I also wanted to use the Nested Globes die set and make a shape card.

Well, a long the way, it ended up that the shape, cut to have a fold at the top, from white cardstock that opens to reveal the message inside. Then I decided to mount it on an A2 Wrapped Stitch Rectangle die cut from one of the lightest greens in the Memory Box Lush Green 6×6 cardstock pad.

Fun for a change! I stamped the ‘thank you’ sentiment from the NEW Birch Press Design Kind Hearts stamp set. It’s a gorgeous stamp set! I used Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide for this in the MISTI, inked and stamped 3 or 4 times.

I used the smallest Nested Globes die to stamp ‘Hello’ on. The HELLO stamp is from the Memory Box Peony Garden Wreath stamp set.

I die cut the Memory Box NEW Enchanting Poppy Stems from a white cardstock that has a little bit of texture. Then I inked the pieces with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink for the leaves and stems. I inked the poppies with Altenew Cotton Candy Ink and then a little bit of Taylored Expressions Lavender Glaze ink. It’s tricky getting the right pink to match the plaid paper. I hope I got close! lol

I added a video directly from my phone, I wish they let me change the size but this is all I get for my money!

I die cut the plaid from the Memory Box Spring Plaid Slim paper pad and edged the cut with the same Shabby Shutters Distress ink. Regular Distress ink.

Basically a very non traditional poppy! I will have to do a red one next time!

Last week I posted the poppystamps Grand Whittle Pig card and after I got to thinking it’d make a cute shape card to be used on a gift! So here’s a quick snapshot of how that turned out when I tried it. Cute! oink!

Sure you could ‘doll’ it up too! How about a red bandana at the neck! lol

Another quick video…

Thank you for stopping by today! I’ll be back tomorrow with a Birthday card!

Simon Says Stamp Mini Slimline Snowflake Window Stencil Card…

January 26, 2022January 26, 2022 Pam Sparks10 Comments

NEW Release from Simon Says Stamp! I received the NEW Snowflake Stencil and made a clean and simple mini slimline card. This one turned out to be 3 ¼ in x 6 ⅜ in.

I sprayed the stencil with Pixie Spray glue, adhered it to Canson Smooth Bristol cardstock and inked with Distress Oxide stamp pads and blending brushes. Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers and Mermaid lagoon.

Let it Snow is a newer die from Memory Box, Let it Snow Posh Script, both layers cut from heavy white cardstock. I mounted it to the panel with pieces of mounting tape.

I embellished the snowflakes with Memory Box Clear, self adhesive Fairy Drops.

I love these pretty, sparkly, Winter colors!

I stamped the inside with a newer sentiment clear stamp set from poppystamps, Wintertime Sentiments with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink. Some really fun sentiments in this set. “Thanks for Snow much fun”, “Happy Winter Wishes to you”, Warm and cozy Winter greetings”, “You are One of a kind”, “Tis the Season to be freezin'”, “The world changes when it Snows”, and more!

I’ll leave you with one more sentiment from this wonderful stamp set… “Friends warm even the coldest of days”. I agree! Thank you for stopping by!

poppystamps NEW Whittle Happy Unicorn (horse today) Barn Easel Card…

January 21, 2022January 20, 2022 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s freezin season but the sun is shining and it’s warm enough for me in the house! haha

poppystamps came out with this NEW Whittle Happy Unicorn die and I wasn’t in a unicorn mood after I die cut in white I guess. I decided to try an inked Distress Ink unicorn that ended up a horse! lol

Then I remembered the poppystamps Country Barn Pop Up Easel die set and I was off after two other starts!

I had some fun with the Memory Box Heart Streamer Globe die. It was one of my starts but I decided not to use it this time but then I decided to cut the streamers off and use them on the barn! Barns always need embellished, right?!

I’m pretty tickled with how it turned out. I took a bunch of pictures hoping they show what I did.

I made a little stand for the tufts of grass die cuts cut in TE Peapod cardstock and that whole piece with the horse lays down on the inside when you fold it up.

The horse is kinda like a second easel…

A strip of cardstock that I scored at ¼ in, glued the grass and then the horse to the ¼ inch part.

The sentiment, from the poppystamps Whittle Wild Animal Sentiments clear stamp set, is heat embossed on Taylored Expressions Cherry Pop cardstock with Lawn Fawn white embossing powder.

I put the easel together just like it shows on the back of the package. I have to look every time! lol

It folds flat to fit in the envelope…

I’m not sure who I’ll send this too but hopefully someone that loves horses!

Holler if you have any questions!

Now back to the other two starts and see if they go anywhere! There’s another new unicorn set with smaller unicorns and rainbows. Cute!

Thank you for stopping by today! We’re headed toward Valentines Day at a gallop! haha

poppystamps Whittle Dies Series Day Two…

August 29, 2021 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Welcome back to the 2nd day of Whittle cuteness! My first card today I decided to make a slimline card and use the NEW Memory Box Twiggy Alphabet too!

I used one of the pattern papers from the pretty Memory Box Spring Plaid Slim pad and two Memory Box 6×6 cardstock pads, Ocean Blue and Fresh Aqua for the die cut letters.

Then I proceeded to create a little scene below with Whittle Dies…

So cute! I die cut Memory Box cardstock 6×6 paper pads again using Sunny Orange, Berry Red, Earth Neutral and Lush Green. The background/sky/water is from Fresh Aqua.

Nothing hard, I didn’t even do any inking on these die cut pieces! Stayed with the clean look. A little white gel pen at the end.

Next up…moo…bleat! Look at these fun sentiments! poppystamps Whittle Wild Animal Sentiments.

I hope you laughed outloud! hahahahahaha I made one barn… cut it in half and made two mini slim cards!

Look at this cutie goat! It’s so encouraging! lol

I die cut the Whittle Goat in white Neenah Classic Crest and using my TE gray blending brush for oxides, I just went around it with the brush, no added ink. Then I colored the nose and ears with a pink Copic. This was my third try at coloring the goat. I liked it the best.

I did some cloud inking… die cut and colored a fence…die cut some grass and the sun.

Next card….maybe I should stamp, “You’re Kind Of A Big Deal” on the inside! Actually it would work for both cards! lol Same sentiment stamp set.

Here I colored the cow the same way as I did the goat, with the TE blending brush I have reserved for Oxide inks in brown. I just used the dirty brush, no added ink.

I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder on TE Oreo cardstock.

I think she’s barn with it…don’t you?! ❤

Well happy barn day and week to you!
