Memory Box Summer Meadow Collage and poppystamps Plumed Peacock cards…

June 22, 2018June 27, 2018 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! I’ve only made two cards this week and I’m gonna put them both in this post! lol I’ve had this background piece laying on my desk for over a month, finally using it! Always fun to use an unusual color combo…it’s a Distress Oxide background with Channin’s Shammy technique. Ink blend on the ink and then hit it with your bunched up stamp cleaner shammy. Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers are the ink colors I think I used here.

I die cut a piece of black cardstock with the Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die, then die cut the New Memory Box Summer Meadow Collage in it.

I die cut the New Memory Box Floating Swan in the inked panel and in a piece of black cardstock. I wanted the water movement in the inked panel. Very cool die!

The sentiment is from poppystamps Peony Stems and Blossoms stamp set. I added an extra black butterfly die cut with the Memory Box Pippi Butterfly die.

Then some Doodlebug and Echo Park Enamel Dots placed randomly. I did use mounting tape to adhere the Summer Meadow Collage to the inked background, then glued that directly on an A2 white cardbase.

Linking my Summer Meadow Collage card to the Crop Stop Anything Goes link party…

Next up… the New poppystamps Plumed Peacock and Delicate Branch Collage….

This is when you need a professional photographer…when you use mirror cardstock! lol My pictures don’t do the card justice. It’s quite striking IRL.

I die cut the Delicate Branch Collage die in a piece of gold mirror cardstock, then trimmed the panel down to fit on an A2 size panel of black cardstock.

I die cut the Plumed Peacock in glitter cardstock and pieced them in. I just put scotch tape on the back, then flip it over and put the pieces in.

I used mounting tape to adhere the gold panel to the black panel, then a little mounting tape strategically placed on the peacock so none of it would hit the branch collage die cut panel but still be popped up the same height as the panel.

I didn’t add a sentiment or anything to this card…I’m kind of a CAS girl but usually I at least have to have a sentiment! I was ok with this though. It’s very classy and elegant.

Thanks for stopping by today! I love hearing from you too! Links below if you want to see what products I used. See ‘ya later!

Simon Says Stamp Leafy Circle Cards…

May 26, 2018May 27, 2018 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! WOWzer it’s a hot day in May for IA! 93˚! eek! So I’m inside writing a blog post. I wanted to go on a walk but not if it means melting!

My cards today feature Simon Says Stamp’s new Leafy Circle die. It’s from the latest fabulous release called ‘Sending Sunshine’.

What I did…I die cut a piece of 110# Neenah Solar White cardstock with SSS Stitch Frame die. Then instead of cutting the die in the panel, I embossed it using the tan mat, shims and the multi purpose platform in my Big Shot like you would do an embossing folder.

Using the ink blending tools and 3 Distress ink colors, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Peeled Paint, I added color. I thought it was so cool, I did the same technique (embossing/inking) for my next card but added a kraft color panel with the Leafy Circle cut in it over the top of the ink blended piece. whew… run on sentence.

Hey, talking about inks made me remember this… 25% off Ranger right now at SSS, use code RANGER25

I stamped the sentiment on vellum with Ranger Archival ink, trimmed it and used the Glue Dots Vellum adhesive on the back, just gotta tell you, that worked slick. Then I stamped explore nature on the white panel with the same ink. Stamping for both using the MISTI.

I matted the white panel with a green rectangle die cut from the Memory Box Rectangle Basics set. I love that teeny border. Mounting tape on the back of that and placed on a top folded kraft color cardbase that I edged with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and a mini ink blending tool.

Linking my Explore Nature card to some challenges…

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – use more than one stamp

Happy Little Stampers – anything goes with dies

Next card…same wreath but I CASEd myself…brought back that Meadow Flower… can’t get enough of it I guess!

This time I ink blended with Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Inks. Colored the flower head with Copics and added three Nuvo White drops. I used mounting tape behind the flower, the flower stem leaves and the sending die cut.

Both of these cards are A2 size and good for snail mail!

birch press design ADI Spinning Snowflake Card and Video…

May 22, 2018May 22, 2018 Pam Sparks7 Comments

hey! Another Christmas card…knockin’ ’em out of the park this week! Little league baseball lingo there…you can tell where we’ve been two evenings a week! lol

Here’s where my brain took me next working with this ADI layer die set… this is the B layer paired up with the largest snowflake from the poppystamps Shiny Snowflake die set.

Then I die cut the Memory Box Warm Christmas Wishes die twice, trimmed off the word warm and glued them together. I kept the dots for the i’s, even glued them together but in the end, they were lost, bah haha, so Nuvo drops in white to the rescue!

A close up… I die cut two of the outer circle from Layer B and two of the snowflakes. The DMC metallic thread is sandwiched between the twos.

I used the Mandala Card die set so the circle would be perfectly placed in the card front panel. Die cut it in Canson Bristol Smooth card, inked it all over with Distress Oxide inks (Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers) and made the fun mottled look with a wet shammy… call it Shammy Lift if you want a name! I did it back a few posts with an AR poppy die, after seeing others doing it. Then I used another cut of the same Mandala Card die for a template and the matching size Circle Basics die to die cut the circle in the card-base. That worked slick for getting the circles lined up.

A flat photo…just cuz it turned out pretty good! hehe Oh, that’s a Memory Box pool notecard cut in half on the inside…love how it matches the Peacock Oxide ink.

Here’s a very short video so you can see it spin! You can click to You Tube to see it larger HERE

Thanks for stopping by today… I have two more cards to show you with this ADI layer set… see you tomorrow!

poppystamps Blooming Rose Cards…

May 10, 2018May 10, 2018 Pam Sparks15 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! Two cards made with the poppystamps Blooming Rose die as the focal point. I always like to see what other dies I can use with a die too!

This is a flat, A2 size card. No stress… it’ll mail…no foam and only little white Nuvo drops! So inlay die cutting and ink blending make this card.

Die cut the poppystamps Blooming Rose die in green and in pink. I used Memory Box notecards for this…Sage and I’m not sure what the pink is but it matches Altenew’s Cotton Candy ink pad. Piece the two together (I do this right side down on my table) and scotch tape the pieces in on the back side. Lay this aside for now.

Die cut the front panel with the largest rectangle from the Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Rectangle die set. Then die cut a circle in the same panel with the Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Circle die set.

Do your ink blending on the edges, fit the circle back in the panel and use scotch tape on the back to hold it in place.

Die cut the poppystamps Blooming Rose die in the panel next…you’ll need to keep a few of the pieces for putting the ‘puzzle’ back together so don’t throw anything away.

Place the color Blooming Rose piece into the hole you cut in the panel…piece in the pieces you saved. Tape on the back. Adhere to the card-base.

Stamp the sentiment from the Memory Box Birthday Sentiments set, I used the MISTI.

My next card is inlay too…no little pieces though.

I had a hard time deciding which front picture to use so you have two! RME

First I die cut the border from the poppystamps Pierced Borders set in a white card-stock panel. Then I die cut the poppystamps Blooming Rose in the panel. You can go as far down or as far up as you want into the border you already cut, because you’re just cutting the hole to place the gold piece into.

In another piece of card-stock die cut the Blooming Rose again, ink it with Versamark ink or any pigment ink pad and emboss it with gold embossing powder.

Piece it into the white panel, I work with the right side down and then use scotch tape in a few places to hold the rose in place. On this one it was pretty much just the branch and swirl things off the side that got the tape on the back.

Then I glued the white panel to a purple piece and then to a white A2 size card-base.

A clean and simple card that you could add any sentiment to before you send or gift it!

Nothing spectacular today but just some fun things to do with dies, ink and paper! So glad you clicked over!

Stampendous Build a Bouquet Card and SALES!!!

May 4, 2018May 4, 2018 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Such fun! I can only hope that one day our 3 Hydrangea bushes that we planted last year will give me a jar full! lol I see green coming up though, so there’s hope!

I had fun playing with this stamp and coordinating die set from Stampendous.

Inking/daubing directly on the stamp with Distress Stains in the MISTI, like I’ve seen others doing, pull the color around with a waterbrush and paint in some details with the same waterbrush. No two alike! ***Just discovered this though while making the links for what I used. Distress Stains aren’t available anymore…they are in spray form now. So I linked to some dauber bottles to put the Distress Sprays in. Sorry about this but easy fix!

I stamped the jar in Ranger Archival black ink….my go to black for everything other than Copic coloring right now.

I stamped the plaid background with a Concord and 9th set using coordinating Distress Oxide ink pads. That was fun…a gal could make plaid all day! lol

I decided the jar needed to sit on something…so those ovals…they come in so handy for that!

I think I need to try some other techniques with this set too… so many flowers and even a butterfly in the set and another vase! Even a pop-up with the Stampendous pop up die!

It’s a flower time of year for sure! YAY!

AND it’s SALE time! Check these out! Copics on sale at Simon Says Stamp!
