Memory Box Pine Candle Oval Frame…

August 14, 2018August 15, 2018 Pam Sparks25 Comments

Hey everyone! I didn’t think I could do this alcohol thing! At stamp club Friday, Linda from club did a demo and we played. This morning I did this by myself! The ink really spreads on yupo though…I wanted to try little dots of ink…hmmmm… lol Big dots worked though! lol Butterscotch, Red Pepper, Lettuce and Oregano are the colors I used. Then a little gold foil. I just gambled on getting the foil on there. If any of you know a video you can point me too on getting the foil on there… email it to me.

This is about as artsy as I get! lol

I had the die cut white to begin with, then a friend told me to put gold foil around the flame and I was like, “no way” am I going to get glue near that! lol So I die cut the Pine Candle Oval Frame die in gold foil cardstock then and glued it over the white ones. There are two white ones in the stack because I got a smudge on the first one so I had to cut another and glue it on. lol Oh the trials! haha

CAS Christmas Card Challenge

This next one is a Distress Oxide background…

A lot of pictures today! This one, I die cut an oval with the Sudio Oval Layers die set… it matches the size of the Pine Candle Oval Frame die. Using the mini Ink Blending tools, I inked on the NEW Distress Oxide Ink pad colors, starting at the top with Mustard Seed, then Barn Door (I brought it up and around the Mustard Seed a little, then came back in with Mustard Seed, back and forth a little to get them blended) then Mowed Lawn and Crushed Olive on the buttom! I was really happy with how the colors blended and worked with this die cut!

I stamped peace on earth on a strip of white cardstock that I inked with Barn Door Oxide and let dry. Then stamped on it with Archival black ink in the MISTI.

A few little sequins to finish it off… oh wait, I did spatter it with Barn Door regular Distress ink. I just swiped a little ink from the pad onto my Tonic craft mat, one spritz of water and a #4 soft paintbrush to spatter it. TIP: I don’t know about you but spattering seems like an art to me too!!! grrr BUT I think I’m finally on to something with this #4 soft bristle paintbrush! It works the best of any I’ve tried so far and I’ve tried a lot! SO don’t give up! Find a brush that does what you want it to do. I’m convinced it’s all about the brush!

The white spatters are a spray… I’ll link to it below. I just poured a little on my craft mat and picked it up with that wonder paintbrush (hehe) and spattered it on. I probably should’ve heat set my oxide inks first. I wonder if the white would’ve stayed whiter? SO, the saga continues as to what is what!

p.s. my paintbrush is a #4 US Artquest paintbrush. I love my US Artquest brushes. I will look and see if I can find them to link to. (EDA – found them, link below! I love the other brushes in the set too!)

Folk Dance Die from SSS Friendly Frolic New Release…

July 26, 2018 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! AWESOME new release up at Simon Says Stamp! They sent me the Folk Dance die to create with…here’s what I came up with this time around!

I die cut a piece of copy paper to make a stencil…

Used the stencil to ink up a card panel with Picked Raspberry and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Inks and the mini ink blending tools. Sprinkled on Clear Embossing powder and heat set.

Then I die cut a card panel of 110# Neenah Solar White and layered/glued it over the top of the inked panel.

Tied on some pink twine…glued that to a top folded card base.

Die cut a Double Stitch Rectangle from poppystamps…inked the interior cut with Peeled Paint Oxide ink…

Die cut SSS Painted Thanks die two dies from the same white and glued them together and mounted them to the rectangle with mounting tape.

Have fun checking out the NEW RELEASE HERE!

A big thanks for visiting my blog today and thanks for your wonderful comments too! I appreciate them so much and love hearing from you!

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!
