Magnolia, Tilda’s Town Challenge…

December 28, 2012December 29, 2012 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Happy New Year! Our challenge to you this week at Tilda’s Town challenges is to create something for the New Year!

I used a couple older Magnolia stamps from the So Jolly collection @ Tilda’s Town. com, HERE and the snowflake DooHickeys die HERE.

I stamped on PTI card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Die cut the Fir in Snow image with Spellbinders rectangle die, left it in the die and embossed it. Colored in the snowflakes with white gel pen. Let them dry and then used Distress ink pads in Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Faded Jeans, applied with the Ink Blending tool while the image was still in the die. The Calendar stamp is colored with Copic Sketch Markers. Stardust stickles on the snowflake and circles.

The pattern paper is from SEI… two years ago, maybe three… who knows! lol I purchased three sheets of it and I still have one left! It’s so pretty. Do you remember my House Mouse card? I used it then too… it’s HERE… I loved this card. Are you ever that way? Every once in awhile I have a card I just love more than others… hehe So, make that three years… the date of this post was 2009! My how time flies!

I used my Perfect Paper Layering Tools… link over there on the right! Yes, YOU need them… they are awesome! : ) Use that Christmas cash! HOHOHO

Happy New Year to you dear stamping friends! It’s been a great year and 2013 is looking even better! Why? Because today our internet service was fixed!!! I have been limping a long with less than stellar service for a couple years. The last several months it’s progressively gotten worse until this last week it’s been less than 1 mbps when it’s supposed to be up to 15 mbps!!! I am in shock today to be speeding along! I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry! All that to say, I hope I get around better this year! I should!!!!

It’s a joy following and sharing this wonderful stamping and paper-art hobby with you! Thanks again for a wonderful 2012 and looking forward to 2013!

Be sure to scroll down for the great sale at the Scrapping Center! Trust me, it’s amazing! hehe

talk to you again soon!

Lawn Fawn – Snowman…

November 11, 2012January 27, 2013 Pam Sparks23 Comments

I’ve been wanting to use my Lawn Fawn stamps and earlier this week when a couple of our granddaughters and their friend were over, we played with them! So fun!

Of course my snowman had to be holding a heart! (MS border punch) I used a Magnolia DooHickeys tree die and limeade twine.

I stamped on Hammermill 80# color copy cover paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. I used my Perfect Paper Layers Tools to matt the image and MFT Die-namics cloud dies for the snow! The greens are Forest green , Apple Cider and Pear green. The blues are Twilight Sky and Midnight Blue. I used Flexmarkers for the grays… Blue Grey 1, 2, 3, 4. Can’t remember the browns on the birdie. The orange is pumpkin.

I’m linking up to the Lawnscaping Challenge and the theme is “Dust ’em off”! woohoo! My card made the Top Mows!

CAS Favorite at SplitCoast Stampers! YEA! Hip, Hip, Hooray!

Off to make a card for tomorrow’s Sweet Stamping Pixies Post! It’s a rainy day here… we have to go buy a new dishwasher. I love my old Maytag… it does such a great job! oh why, did it have to start leaking?! boohoo We bought it new when we moved here over 20 years ago… I suppose that is why! lol Anyone love the new Maytags? What to buy???

Magnolia – Edwin Hiking…

September 7, 2012August 22, 2013 Pam Sparks49 Comments

Hi everyone! The new challenge for this week at Tilda’s Town, HERE, is to ‘create an Autumn scene’. Well, I have lots of new stuff that needs used! So I had to get out this new Tall Tree die I’ve had since the end of May and use it! I used watercolor paper for all of this card.

This photos shows the side step folding and layering. I couldn’t find a Magnolia grass die to link to, so I linked up to a couple other grass dies that will work well for scenes too!

I have to tell you about a new store I’ll be linking to a lot! I’m so excited about the extensive lines they carry and I think you’ll like it too! All the stuff I use and love!

Over 90,000 products in stock, ready to ship! When you shop through my links, I’ll receive credit to keep buying new stamps and supplies to share here on my blog! I really appreciate it because I love to stamp and share!

The Scrapping Center has tons of stamps! Inky Impressions, Stampendous, Hero Arts, Stampavie, Art Impressions, Magnolia, Stamping Bella and I could go on and on! Dies too! Pull down under papercrafting to die-cutting…. I could shop all day!!!

Back to Hiking Edwin… what a handsome guy! I watercolored all of the images and the die cuts with Distress inks. I linked to the colors I used below. Don’t you love Walter the moose? Cuter than cute. Although I’m sure he’s yukky IRL! lol You’ll find these new Magnolia stamps from the Turning Leaves collection at TildasTown.com HERE! Awesome service… free shipping no matter how big your order… discounts the more you buy! I love it when an order comes fast!

I cut the watercolor paper 8.5 x 5.5 in., then made the side steps. The first step is 3/4 in, the second is 1 in. and the back one is 2 1/2 in.

I couldn’t find the birds on the sign stamp to link to… I don’t know the name either. If you want to know holler and I can research some more later. I used my stamp a ma jig to stamp the words on the sign… it’s an old Hero Arts stamp… lots of stamps would work on a sign!

Challenge blogs I’m linking to…
