Memory Box Gracious Floral Just For You Card…

June 29, 2023 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! NEW from Memory Box! A beautiful stamp set with coordinating dies AND stencils for coloring in!

Next card I’m going to try the stencils with the 3D embossing folder that is the same floral image. You can also stamp the image, die cut it and then emboss it in the 3D folder!

I used inking brushes and distress oxide inks to color. Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral for the pink flower.

The purple brush without inking for the purple flowers, then Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet.

The small flowers I used my Peacock Feathers brush without reinking it for the light color, then Peacock Feathers inking up the brush.

For the leaves I used my green brush without inking and then used Peeled Paint ink.

I die cut it after I colored it.

I stamped Just for you in the MISTI and die cut it with the included coordinating die. Three layers glued together.

I used poppystamps Pinpoint Leaf Plate die for the background pink background panel, adhered to a white cardbase.

Simple card, fun to make and I love the sentiments in this set!

Can you believe it’s the end of June and almost time for another holiday! Boom! Boom!

Thank you for stopping by!

Spellbinders June 3D Embossing Folder Club of the Month Card…

June 22, 2023 Pam Sparks4 Comments

It’s me again! lol Embossing folders are so much fun! For this one I inked the smooth side with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink, cover it well or like me, I did it three times. It might shift a little, kinda shows in my photos but in real life you don’t see it as much. I didn’t even notice it until after I took pictures!

After embossing I brushed over it with Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink, then some gold rub on stuff then some Peacock Feathers and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink! It was white cardstock to begin with!

I used one of the sentiments from the April Large Die Set of the Month… they kinda look like cookies! lol

Spellbinders June Die of the Month Set – interactive card…

June 22, 2023 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! I have three Ocean/Near the Sea cards to share with you today! So THREE posts! I know! Annoying to get three emails but I promise that I have never done this before and probably will never do it again!

Here’s a short video of the tricks this octopus and squid can do! It can go faster motion but the video going fast did not look good!

This is a mini slimline size. I’m so tickled with how it turned out!

The background is just my Distress Oxide ink blending brushes on a piece of Hammermill color copy cover cardstock 100#. I used my peacock feathers brush and my brush for greens. I think it looks real watery! lol My brown brush on the bottom. No added ink for any of it, just the ink left in the brushes.

I colored the squid, starfish and seaweeds with Copic Markers.

Water you up to sentiment is from the Spellbinders Clear Stamp and Die Set of the Month for June! A super cute set!

So the details for obtaining the Spellbinders Club offers each month is HERE. So fun! Huge sets and fun creating!

Thank you so much for stopping by and I’d love it if you checked out my other two posts for today too! THANK YOU!

Spellbinders Hello Blooms Stencil and Die Card…

June 8, 2023June 12, 2023 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hello friends and cardmakers! A super fun card to share with you today! Have you tried the new stencils like this? I don’t know why but it’s so satisfying to color in this clean and simple way! Fast too!

I used Distress Oxide inks, Peacock Feathers, Pine Needles, Abandoned Coral, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness and Ground Espresso with blending brushes through the stencil. I cleaned the stencil between colors.

For the background, I ran the A2 size Spellbinders Simply Perfect Florets Embossing Folder through the die cut machine and trimmed it down and matted it with thin mounting tape to an A2 White cardbase. So cute! I love this folder and it matches this floral so well!

I LOVE this script hello die that is included with the coordinating die set! I did it up white on white…pleasing to my eye! lol

I did my coloring through the stencil first but now that I’ve done it once, next time I’m going to die cut a white panel, keep the die cut in the panel, then do the coloring through the stencil so I can get the margins better. I had to do a little trimming after I die cut because the white margin was more in a few places.

I used the large Wendy Vecchi Make Art station to hold things in place.

Memory Box Magnolia Leaf Brand, Magnolia Bud Trio and Backyard Wren Mini Slimline Card…

May 2, 2023May 3, 2023 Pam Sparks10 Comments

This card says hello for me! I had fun looking through the new paper pads and playing ‘matchy’! hahahaha Almost felt like I was quilting again!

This release is stretching me! I rarely use purple but not this time! Purple it is!

This is such a sweet bird die… NEW….Backyard Wren. So sweet and Memory Box just put a post up on Instagram showing it in all different colors! So I decided I could use purple! Why not!

I took pictures with a white background too but they look so washed out, I’m not posting them! Crazy what a difference!

Cards always look better IRL even with all the awesome technology we have these days!

I die cut the Magnolia Leaf Branch, Magnolia Bud Trio and Backyard Wren in white Hammermill cardstock. I colored the branch and buds with Copic Sketch Markers and the wren with my distress oxide ink blending brushes. I didn’t ink them just used the ink that was in them already.

I like coloring dies and cutting from colored cardstock. I was thinking of the branch this time and knew I’d want the branch brown and leaves green. It’d be really easy to do colored cardstock also…next time!

I used a new poppystamps die for the sentiment, Hello Moonlight Script. What a fun name! What a beautiful font! The white cardstock is Hammermill and the black is Memory Box Glossy Black. I love that cardstock so much. I’m on my last sheet from the ten pack!

The pattern paper is the NEW 6×6 pads from Memory Box! I’ll link them below with everything else.
