Simon Says Stamp Just A Note July Release – Margot Tile Card…

July 26, 2023July 26, 2023 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! New gorgeous 3D embossing Folder to share with you today for the Simon Says Stamp Just A Note July Release!

Look at all that goodness! Click/tap on the logo and it’ll take you to the whole release!

For my card I started by embossing the Margot Tile folder from the release with black cardstock! It’s gorgeous!

Then I did some die cutting with Birch Press Designs Large Cosmos Contour Layers die and Curved Leaf Branch Contour Layers die.

I only used one color for the Cosmos but I inked and added a little Copic marker for a little dimension.

The Branch die is two colors of green die cut and glued up.

These dies come in a folder holder with a design sheet on how they go together! It’s so helpful!

I used Birch Press Design Thank You Noted Script Hot Foil Plate and Die Set for the sentiment.

So happy with how it turned out… the black must just give it the drama the flower needs! lol It didn’t take long to make either! A big plus!

I hope I remembered everything about it. It’s A2 size. Comment or email if you have any questions!

Have fun checking out the new release! What is your favorite new product/s?

Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder Club of the Month – Christmas in July Card…

July 13, 2023July 12, 2023 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! I’ve always loved the sentiment Deck the Halls but I don’t think I use it every year!

This NEW 3D embossing folder is called ‘Adorning the Trees’! So the sentiment sure fits! This embossing folder is a big one. It will emboss a 8 ½ in. x 5 ½ in. piece of cardstock. I used the top half.

I used a piece of matte, gold metallic cardstock and I had quite a bit of cracking and I hated to pitch it! I had to think and try a couple things before I landed on the Karin Deco Metallic markers! Wow! They worked so good! Metallic is so hard to capture to show the true beauty of it.

Painting in the design was really easy too. I really didn’t try for perfection but to my eyes, it turned out great! haha

This picture shows the metallic cardstock under the sentiment better.

I used two rectangles from the Precision Layering Mini Slimline sets A and B. I am so glad to have so many rectangle sets. I can pretty much always find one that fits whatever sentiment I need to cut out. lol Makes me happy because I don’t always use the small sizes of sets. Do you?

The die cut sentiment is from Mix and Match Holiday Greetings set… I’ll link below. I die cut it in a matte Silver metallic cardstock, same as the cardbase.

This is an A2 size card.

You’ll find all of the info on Spellbinders Club of the Month deals HERE and the link for just the 3D Embossing Folder Club is HERE.

Holler if you have any questions and thank you for stopping by! I appreciate your visit so much!

Christmas in July Spellbinders Stamp and Die Set Club Card…

July 11, 2023 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! I had fun with this! If you’ve known me for all the years I’ve been stamping, you know I LOVE brown! haha I stamped and die cut this twice in Hammermill White cardstock thinking I would color it with Copics. I sat down and started coloring one with color pencils! lol I still have the other white one to color with Copics.

I have a deep love for brown…when Ranger came out with Van Dyke Brown all those years ago I bought a few reinkers thinking I’d use it forever! But then Distress Inks and then Gathered Twigs! Gathered Twigs regular Distress is my go to! Do not take my Gathered Twigs away!

I die cut the floral shape, put the waste/frame in the MISTI, lined up the stamp in the hole, put in the die cut, inked up the stamp and stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I used Caran d’Ache Pablo Color Pencils to color but any will work. After coloring I went around the edges with Gathered Twigs and the mini ink blending tool. I just keep this color and this tool handy on my desk all the time!

I embossed the Forevergreen Embossing Folder in TE Cilantro cardstock and inked it with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool. I trimmed it down this time so my card would end up A2 size.

I ink blended a natural linen cardbase with Gathered twigs also. Just around the perimeter.

The panel in the center is a die that comes with the set too! Dies for everything in the stamp set! Such an amazing deal!

I lined up the sentiments in the MISTI and inked up the decorative panel…inked it up with GT also!

Glue on the little gold pearls…adhere everything to the cardbase and it’s ready to mail almost! I need to bring back my last year’s resolution to finish the insides…. ugh. haha

Here’s where you need to go to get the info on joining the Spellbinders monthly club option or options!

Memory Box Gracious Floral 3D Embossing Folder Version…

July 5, 2023 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Someone somewhere is celebrating a birthday and here’s some soft color wishes for you! A pretty card makes a birthday seem better somehow, doesn’t it? Birthdays just keep coming at ya! ha!

I started out looking at my Memory Box plaid paper pads for a color scheme. I used the Madras Plaid Blue and Violet PP104 6×6 pad without looking to see if it was still in the stores I link to. OOPS! Evidently it’s been discontinued. ugh.

I’m linking to the other three plaid pads in the stores that will make fun color cards too!

It’s hard to see the gold in my pictures so I took a phone picture in front of the upstairs hall door so you can see the gold. Wish I could show you in person! I know, I know, I’m always saying that! lol

The cardbase for this card is 4 ¾ in. x 6 in. so it’ll need an A7 envelope.

I die cut the poppystamps Lattice plate in white three times and glued them together. I just really like how it added just enough depth without needing to cut little strips of mounting tape. I used Tombow Mono Multi sparingly to glue them together and to glue the lattice to the plaid panel.

Then I cut a piece of plaid with gold lines to layer on top of the lattice panel, It’s 2 ½ in. x 6 in.

I used the die from the stamp set to cut a piece of white cardstock for the floral bouquet shape. Then I put the die cut shape in the 3D embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot following the directions for 3D folders. (I do add a few cardstock shims for mine)

After I had the big bouquet embossed I die cut just the center flower from the 3D embossing folder set, ran it through the same embossing folder, then started coloring both embossed pieces with the Stencil set, regular Distress Ink Pads and ink blending brushes.

I’m having fun making cards with these products! I haven’t inked the stamp and embossed it in the 3D folder yet but I think that would be beautiful too!

If you want some new products to create with on these hot Summer days when it’s better to stay inside in the AC…this release is just the thing you need!

When you tap or click on my links to see these products you’re going to get a surprise! Cindy@Starlitstudio has been VERY busy and her new store is up and running with new products being added again! Yay! So excited! It’s beautiful! Be sure to click on the STR abbreviation to check it out!

Thank you so much for stopping by and happy cardmaking to you!

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
