Spellbinders Monthly Clubs…last day to sign up for June!

Pam Sparks2 Comments

Here I am at the last minute and you still have time to get in on the June Clubs at Spellbinders! Sign up goes through today, the 27th!  Go HERE.

I’m using the Stencil of the Month Club on my card.  FIVE stencils in this set…3 for the beach balls and 2 to create a Summer scene!  BTW a one inch circle punch works to punch out the balls.  Hard to tell in my photos but I have two punched out and raised with thin mounting tape.

I used two Distress Oxide inks, Lumberjack Plaid and Prize Ribbon.  I also inked a piece of cardstock to make the background blue pieces.

SB All-Star Sentiments (half price right now!) and Simon Hurley Handwritten Sentiments (25% off right now!) for the message. Links below…

It turned out cute considering I had no idea where I was headed with it! lol

I ended up with two different color reds because I grabbed the pink blending brush to do the main red on the ball!  oops!  But it worked out because the small red circle die using the red brush gave me another red! lol

I’ll add this A2 size card to my stash of birthday cards!

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out Spellbinders!  There’s always a great sale going on.  I love it!

I’ll link you to what I used below…

NEW Memory Box Little Fuchsia Flower Trio and Branch and Hello Breezy Script Card…

Pam Sparks17 Comments

Hello cardmakers and friends!  This NEW release from Memory Box is taking me back a lot of years to when I was so in love with Fuchsias!  Now our daughters are!

They are so fancy! One of God’s truly amazing floral creations! Oh true everything God created is amazing! ❤

I love making clean and simple cards but they are challenging to take pictures of because the pictures never completely do the card justice!

This is such a sweet, delicate die and the sentiment is so neat!  I love this font/look!  I use the Zig Two Way Squeeze Roller Ball point glue pen to glue these.  Works great!  It’s also one time I use tweezers for placement!

I used the thin mounting tape I love so much, trimmed to fit on the back of the floral piece.

I die cut the hello mat three times and glued together so I wouldn’t need to use mounting tape behind.

I die cut the Fuchsia in Taylored Expressions cardstocks and inked with Distress ink pads.  I used single colors but different pressure to achieve the variation.  I’ll link what I used below.

The cardbase and Hello Breezy Script are Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock.

It’s an easy to mail A2 size card.

Memory Box Whimsical Gladiola and Fanciful Gladiola Stem Card…

Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone!  A card full of sunshine today!  Not quite what I pictured in my mind but it is cheerful!

I die cut in Neenah Classic Crest Smooth cardstock and inked with Distress Inks.

I followed the picture on the front of the envelope for how to color.  It’s really cool how it works!  I inked the piece that is the darkest first…

Then ink the piece that is all green…

Then glue the green over the blue!

Next I inked lighter and lighter shades of the same blue on the petals and glued them on following the picture on the front of the envelope/package.

It’s not hard at all! The little pieces of green stem sticking off the stem are where you glue the petals on and they line up!

Same for the yellow flowers.

I used an old Memory Box postage rectangle to mat a panel of paper from the Glimmering Gladiola 6×6 pad.

Then another sheet of the same pad to coordinate on the cardbase.

Then, yet another piece to cut out the NEW Exquisite Butterflies that I only used one of.

I added the cent sign using the old Memory Box abc soup Alphabet Soup die the ‘c’ and the ‘l’.

Fuchsias are on trend again!  Check out the new Memory Box release!  That’s what we’ll be making up next!  You can see it here at Starlitstudio.net

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I appreciate it and thank you so much for the comments and encouraging words! I finally found where to change the comment section back to what it used to be!  YAY!  I wish they wouldn’t change things!

Memory Box Gladiola Blossom and Leaves Birthday Card…

Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! Have you seen the NEW Memory Box Gladiola Release?  I’m not sure how many flowers we’re up to now but a gal could make a big bouquet if she had a notion to!

Easy card here…I picked two patterns from two 6×6 paper pads, cut them in strips, used scor-tape on the back to hold them together, then glued it to a white cardbase.

I die cut the Gladiola Blossom and Leaves die in Neenah heavyweight white cardstock and ink blended on the colors.

A little Shaded Lilac Distress on the flower petals, then Wilted Violet Distress on the stamens and on the edges of the flower petals.

For the leaves I used Altenew inks, Shadow Creek and Mountain Pine.

I used my favorite thin mounting tape to adhere the flower and a little on the right side of the Happy Birthday to you circle sentiment Greeting Tab.

And it was done!  A2 size.  I love this green plaid!  It looks like the green outside right now!  We’ve had lots of rain so everything is growing beautifully!

Birch Press Design Cosmos, Lush Leaves and Wiegela Leaf Tag…

Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! A BIG tag for today’s post! Super fun shower for our grandson’s new wife Saturday morning!

She loves to garden so a few of us had fun gifting her gifts for that!

For some reason my camera didn’t blurr out the background for me on this picture so I tried to edit it out.  Sorry it’s so bad!  This is a dump garden wagon…she loves it!  I picked up some plants too and one is an Iceland Poppy.  I had to purchase it for her because they honeymooned in Iceland!  So fun!

A close up before I hung it on the wagon…

A close up hanging on the wagon.

I used a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp to stamp all over the background of the tag… I’ll link it below.

The tag is an accucut die that you use on the big accucut baby grand machine.

The circle is a NEW die from poppystamps!  I’ll link it below.
