Simon Says Stamp Cheer and Joy Release Card…

October 10, 2019October 10, 2019 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends. I have a fairly simple card to share with you… well, I kept adding things! lol

Today is the new release at Simon Says Stamp… it’s festive and Christmasy for the most part! I’ll link you up below to what I used.

The new stamp they sent me to show is the background here, Leaves and Berries Cling Mount Stamp.

I gold heat embossed it and then blended on 3 colors of Distress Oxide Ink. Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron and Shaded Lilac. Weird… the Lilac kinda wiped of when I went over it to get the ink off the heat embossed gold. I barely used any lilac though… good thing! haha I spattered with water drops using the Tim Holtz mister water bottle.

Then I just painted in the leaves and berries with the Gansai Tambi watercolors that I still had out on my desk. Oh, I stamped on Strathmore 400/Best the brown pad of watercolor paper.

I die cut the panel with SSS Stitched Rectangles.

I embossed in Ranger Detail gold, the background and the sentiment. ‘Thankful for you’ is from the SSS Autumn Greetings clear stamp set.

I used three small circle cuts from the New Memory Box Stylish Frame Trio die set. I die cut them in TE Premium cardstock, links below, Candy Corn, Granny Smith and Peapod.

I die cut leaves from the cardstocks too using the New poppystamps Autumn Leaf Set. Then I added some small enamel dots.

And that’s it!

Check out the new release! I’ll link below in the linkdeli links below, the first one. I’m not sure the links in my written post work so I’ll try this.

Thank you for stopping by!

Two poppystamps and Memory Box Autumn Cards…

October 1, 2019October 1, 2019 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! Some Autumn cards I’ve made and haven’t gotten posted yet!

The poppystamps Autumn Leaves Sidekick Frame and Stencil is so pretty! There’s also two die sets of leaves that match this die… I’ll link to them below in case you’re interested.

The sentiment I used this time is from poppystamps Autumn Leaves clear set.

I used Oxide inks to blend the rectangle I stamped on.

The leaves were blended with oxide inks but I wasn’t happy with them so I colored over them with Copics!

The background behind the frame I watercolored with regular distress inks.

My next card ended up being one thing after another! I watercolored a background with regular distress inks but it was pretty dark. I tried stamping the leaves stamp from the Memory Box Grateful Autumn stamp set directly on it but I didn’t like it. So I gold heat embossed a piece of vellum and adhered it to the background with teeny lines of glue. I wasn’t thrilled with that either so I colored the leaves directly on the front of the vellum with Copics! Copics to the rescue again! lol

I want to see what I can come up with this stamp set with another try! It’s so pretty and so many amazing stamps and sentiments in the set!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy cardmaking to you!

poppystamps Autumn Leaves Sidekick Frame and Stencil Card…

September 11, 2019 Pam Sparks15 Comments

Hi everyone! We interrupt the Christmas cards for a Fall card! It’s getting close to that time, when the leaves start changing and definitely dance in the wind!

I love this pretty NEW poppystamps Autumn Leaves Sidekick Frame. I laid the stencil over the die cut and inked the leaves with regular Distress Inks and the mini ink blender tools. The colors I used were Forest Moss, Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed.

Then I laid the stencil over the actual thin metal die and using the ink pad, tapped some ink onto the leaf vein lines. Then I put the die cut back in the metal die and pressed the paper into the lines…that’s how I ended up with ink in the veins here and there. They look like dying leaves! lol

I die cut a rectangle background piece to fit behind the frame with the Memory Box Basic Rectangles dies. I inked it with Distress ink also and did some water spatters, let it dry and then gold heat embossed the sentiment from the NEW poppystamps Autumn Leaves clear stamp set.

I was going to just add some gold cord and tie a bow but it hit me to try wrapping the cord up the side of the die cut! I liked it a lot and thought it made the leaves truly look like they were dancing in the wind! YAY!

I hope you’re having fun being creative these days… it’s been all hot and muggy again here…makes it easy to stay inside!

Thank you for stopping by!

Spellbinders August Small Die of the Month Club Card….

August 5, 2019August 5, 2019 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m back today with the NEW Spellbinders Small Die club of the month kit…all the dies for this come in the kit for one low price! Super cute too!

I got to thinking…that slit! What a cute money holder! So I added 5 bucks to my photos. hehe

Sometimes the stash of old stuff really comes in handy…so glad I still have a couple packages of these old Basic Grey magnets. I’ll try to find some others to link up below.

I used TE cardstock and Lawn Fawn pattern paper for the accent papers on the backpack. Lawn Fawn ink to edge the backpack pieces and crayons.

The zipper and glasses are silver foil/mirror cardstock.

I even had a piece of old history outline paper! I taped it to a piece of white cardstock because it’s so thin.

I took some more photos with a black background…just to make it hard for me to decide what to post! urrrrgghhh haha So just posting both flat and standing up pics today!

It’s an A2 size card and will mail for one forever stamp too! yay!

There’s another sentiment in the set too… You Rule…so cute…subscription price is just $12.50 a month! Details HERE and how it works info. Be sure to check out all the clubs while you’re there.

One last photo…so many fun details and very easy to make. I think this can be customized for any age too!

Happy Monday and thank you for stopping by!

Memory Box Grand Maple Frame Card…

October 19, 2018November 19, 2018 Pam Sparks22 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m sneaking in a Fall card today! Last Friday our area stamp club had a card party and this is the card I had the gals make. I have the instructions all typed up if you want to email me, I can email them to you. It was a super fun day…there were 12 of us. I still need to finish a couple of the cards!

This really isn’t complicated to make at all, you just have to remember to put the glue in the right places! Ask me how I know! lol

The NEW Memory Box Grand Maple Frame die is gorgeous! I love how it made up in this Circle Gatefold Type card…kind of interactive…

I die cut the center leaf/circle die in 110# Neenah Solar White cardstock and blended on 3 Distress Oxide ink pad colors, Forest Moss, Ripe Persimmon and Wild Honey. I tried using watercolor paper for this but the spatters seemed to spread too much on it so I went back to regular cardstock. The spatters are a drop of Gathered Twigs regular Distress ink mixed with a few drops of water and spattered on with a paintbrush.

Adhere the leaf/circle to a matching size Circle Basics die cut from coordinating green cardstock.

The card base is a 4 ¼ in. x 8 ½ in., scored at 2 ⅛ in. in from the length ends. Fold on the scores and crease well.

Cut two of the Frame die and sandwich them in the left ‘gate’ of the card with liquid glue.

Adhere the finished leaf/circle to the right ‘gate’ of the card.

On the inside I stamped two sentiment stamps from the poppystamps Autumn Fairies stamp set using Ranger Archival Black ink and the MISTI stamping tool.

This card brought back memories. Remember years ago when Magenta came out with all the circle and square frame stamps? We were head over heels for them! There were several different folds we did with those stamps and this fold was one. Such a fun presentation!

NEW Memory Box Cottage Gate Frame Fall Card…

October 5, 2018October 7, 2018 Pam Sparks15 Comments

Hi everybody! Sharing a card with more NEW dies on it with you today! We all love Fall even the little critters! Looks like they’re having a convention on where’s the best dirt these days! haha

I die cut everything in Neenah Solar White 110# cardstock and ink blended with regular Distress ink pads and the mini ink blending tools. Gathered Twigs, Spiced Marmalade, Forest Moss, Wild Honey, Squeezed Lemonade and Rusty Hinge.

The extra acorns and leaves are cut from the Oak Leaf Swirl die.

I love the new Thankful Jotted Script die! There is a backer die that comes with it too but I didn’t use it here. The squirrels are from a new poppystamps Busy Squirrel Trio die. They do look busy! We have a lot of squirrels around here and they can be pretty entertaining at times!

This is an A7 size card. (5 in. x 7 in.)

poppystamps Autumn Fairies and Brilliant Leaf Frame die…

September 7, 2017September 6, 2017 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone! An Autumn card to share today. Colorbook therapy with stamping and pencils.

I die cut the frame in Kraft card-stock, colored the leaves and inserted them back in the frame from the back and used Scotch mounting tape strips/cut to fit, to hold the leaves in place.

She’s so cute! Yes, I did change her eyes a bit because I was outlining them with black after coloring and didn’t stay on the line, so I had to ‘fix’ them. I did glitter her wings with some glitter pen.

Don’t you love the acorn house? Tiny houses are all the rage! I could never live in one! eek! This set is so fun! I love it!

I inked the edges of everything with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and the mini ink blending tool.

I love how the leaves in the stamp and die sets match the Brilliant Leaf Frame die. So many possibilities! The Leaf Frame die is available now and the stamp and die sets are coming soon in the September release…arriving in stores Friday or this weekend! yay!

The gold splats are Heidi Swapp metallic gold spray… link below.

Hope she made you smile! Thanks for stopping by! I love hearing from you and thank you so much for your visits and comments! I appreciate it!
