Memory Box Small Fringed Peony, Scribble Leafy Branch Thank You Card…

June 21, 2019June 21, 2019 Pam Sparks12 Comments

HELLO!!! Bright card today! No sunshine here today except on this card! lol

I tried using a Gel Plate for the Smooshed Background on this card. I put drops of Distress Ink refills on the plate, spritzed it with water and then laid the piece of watercolor paper in it and smooshed! Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint and Peacock Feathers are the colors I used. Added spatters with the extra ink.

I die cut the NEW Memory Box Small Fringed Peony from three Bazzill Card Shoppe Cardstock colors and pieced them into a white cut. Then I die cut two more of just the white and glued them on top and liked it better.

I went in with some color pencils for some shadows on the flower petals. Just enough colorbook therapy to make me happy!

I die cut the new Memory Box Scribble Leafy Branch Background in Bazzill Cardshoppe cardstock and the Scribble Leafy Branch Outline in White cardstock. Layered and glued them together.

I stamped and embossed the images from the new Memory Box Big and Little Words clear stamp set. I used the MISTI and Gold Embossing Powder.

I added three Doodlebug pearls…sequins might’ve been fun too!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope your Summer is off to a great start! Happy papercrafting!

Memory Box Antique Garden Label Birthday Card…

June 12, 2019June 12, 2019 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! I’m making my way through the new Memory Box release.

Today I revisited my Embedding Technique… it’s one of my faves for this type of die! My video explaining the process is HERE. When I made the video though, we weren’t using as heavy a cardstock as we do now. Today I used Canson Smooth Bristol in the orange cover pad. I did it just like the video except that I ran it through my Big Shot and then back.

So cool, I just love the ease of adhering the die this way and the bit of dimension that looks so professional!

Some distress oxide inking on the Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die cut panel. (die cut and ink this panel before you embed the die cut to it) I used Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade and Twisted Citron.

I spattered with water, white paint, spiced marmalade Distress Ink refill and twisted citron Distress Ink refill.

I die cut another panel with the Memory Box Wrapped Scalloped Rectangle and mounted the inked panel to it with mounting tape.

Then adhered it to an A2 card base.

I stamped a sentiment in the Label opening with the MISTI and the Archival Distress Spiced Marmalade Ink pad. The sentiment is from the poppystamps Birthday Blowout clear stamp set.

I added a few matte enamel dots. I like it! lol Sunshiny, Summery colors!

Thanks for stopping by! Keep making!

poppystamps Garden Poppy Sidekick Frame Card…

May 3, 2019May 3, 2019 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! Playing with new poppystamps dies this week and a new stamp too!

I inked up the new poppystamps 5 ½ x 5 ½ inch Picnic Plaid stamp with three Distress Oxide Inks using the Tim Holtz travel stamp platform. I used the panel inked with Forest Moss for this card. I like it a lot! It stamped really well. Easy to clean up because the stamp platform cover comes off, I was able to take it directly to the sink to wash the ink off between changing ink colors. Dried with a clean, damp shammy.

I die cut the plaid panel with one of the Memory Box Rectangle Basics dies to match up behind the Sidekick frame.

Using the stencil that comes with the die, I inked up the poppies with regular Distress inks and the make up brushes that look like toothbrushes. I used Barn Red, Festive Berries and Fired Brick. Then I went in with a color pencil and drew over the embossed lines from the die. I colored the stems with G95 Copic Sketch Marker. It matched the Forest Moss Oxide ink perfectly!

I die cut and colored a couple extra ‘parts’ from the complete die to embellish the sentiment.

‘Sending Happy Wishes’ is from the new poppystamps Springtime Greetings clear stamp set and stamped with Ranger Archival Black ink in a MISTI stamping tool.

Hope your Spring is shaping up all pretty and full of flowers! There’s an even newer release from Memory Box now and I’m hoping there’s some on the way to me as I type! Stores already have them in stock so be sure to check them out! HERE they are at Starlitstudio.net If you want to see the cards Memory Box has already made up for samples, go HERE and click on each item to see a sample… pretty cards!

Memory Box Egg Basket Frame Happy Easter Card…

April 16, 2019April 16, 2019 Pam Sparks9 Comments

I’m back and editing to add more photos! I decided to take off the Happy Easter and stamp hello! So keep scrolling for the original post text! lol

The sentiment ‘hello’ is from the New Memory Box Springtime Typewriter Sentiments Clear stamp set, HERE.

Which one do you like better? Don’t count that I changed the white balance on the camera so the color is different for the two cards…some days I shouldn’t be allowed to have a camera! lol

A very Happy Spring and Easter to you! These Memory Box Forget Me Nots are such sweet, little, whimsical flowers to add to the new Memory Box Egg Basket Frame.

There’s a little bit of green coming up at the base of our hydrangea bushes. Whew… it was a fierce Winter so you never know! There’s hope!

I die cut the Egg Basket Circle 3 times from kraft color cardstock and glued them together. I left one cut in the die and embossed the basket weave by going over the basket area with a stylus. Then I inked the whole thing with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and a mini ink blending tool.

I die cut the Frame part of the set from Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock. I don’t use the metal shim for these dies but because they are intricate, I die cut them with the blades up. I crank a third of the way, then crank back to start, then crank to the middle, then crank back a little but not back to start, then I crank the rest of the way but stopping and going back toward the middle and back to all the way again. Hope that makes sense. I can’t stand my cutting plates getting all warped. And this works most of the time. If I have an area that didn’t cut all the way, I change to a sidekick cutting plate, the small 2 inch wide plate and try to just cut in that area. I don’t like to try to cut the whole thing again. It makes a mess! I hate those paper hairs too. ugh.

Otherwise, just use 80# cardstock and it’ll cut without any extra maneuvering!

I backed the Frame with a Memory Box Stitched Square Layers die cut in a little darker purple cardstock.

I inked up the area behind the basket with a little Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink and a mini ink blending tool.

To top it off, I die cut the new Memory Box Happy Easter Premiere die from Gold Foil Cardstock. I love this gold!

The card is 4 ¾ inches square. You can easy mail it in an A7 envelope!

I’ve got a card to mail today, it’s so nice, I’m gonna walk it to the Post Office! yay for Spring!

Memory Box Cottage Flower Circle Frame Card…

March 20, 2019March 21, 2019 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Hi everyone! Hope it’s a lovely day wherever you are! I’m using some new Memory Box/poppystamps products today.

I started by die cutting the NEW Cottage Flower Circle and Egg Basket Frame dies in white cardstock. (I forgot to emboss the Cottage Flower Circle Frame cut… oops, normally the leaves and flowers would have some vein lines in them from the die)

I only used the Square Frame portion of the Egg Basket Frame die and adhered it directly on the Bazzill Mint Julep A2 card base.

I die cut a solid circle from the Memory Box Circle Basics Die set and inked it with three Oxide inks, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean. Then spattered with water.

I mounted the white Cottage Flower Circle, with small pieces of mounting tape behind the flowers and leaves, to the Oxide circle, then adhered the circle directly over the Egg Basket Frame already on the card base.

I die cut the NEW poppystamps Doodle Happy Easter die three times, glued them together and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I stamped the sentiment from the NEW Memory Box Typewriter Sentiments stamp set on white cardstock, heat embossed it with white embossing powder, inked it with the three oxide inks I mentioned above, then trimmed it out with the NEW My Sweet Petunia Cut Align ruler. I LOVE it! It works great!

The flower sprig by the sentiment is a die that’s included in the Cottage Flower Circle Frame Die. I used little pieces of foam mounting tape behind the flower and leaf but glued the ends of the stems directly to the card base.

For some reason, I really like these colors together! Here’s hoping for more Easter cards since Easter is late this year. Sometimes the holidays come to close together for me to keep up! lol
