Spellbinders – Two Floral Stems Cards…

Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone!  It’s Monday and I’m behind getting these two cards posted for Spellbinders!  I love how they turned out though!  Such pretty florals!

And the weather was right for me to get good photos!  YAY!

Very Clean and Simple designs and I’m sure these cards will get used!

I made a die cut Arch frame with the Essential Arches Etched Dies set.  I used two of the set and didn’t even tape them down! lol

I used the largest Arch die to make the shape card base.  I cut a cardbase 11 in. x 4.25 in., scored it at 5.5 in., folded it in half and placed the die on it so the very top isn’t cut.  Then I cut another single, complete arch the same size to tape over the top.

Then I glued on the kraft Arch frame and the die cut flowers.

This card is 3 ¾ in. wide and 5 ½ in. tall.  It’ll still fit in an A2 envelope.  Just a little narrower.  Fun!

I used one of the new Spellbinders Modern Stripes Hot Foil Plates with a brass looking hot foil.

I love the sentiments from this NEW Spellbinders Must-Have Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and Die set!  I used the same Hot Foil color to make them.

I’m going to get a lot of use from these florals!  Die cut, glue together and mount to the card! I used my favorite thin mounting tape.

Be sure to email or comment if you have any questions.  I’m tired today so I’m sure I’m forgetting something or more!

Spellbinders Hello Blooms Stencil and Die Card…

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 Blossom Trio and Vibrant Leaf Corner Card…

Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hello! I had fun making some more magnolias this week!  Memory Box dies are so awesome to work with!

I used some old Bazzill cardstocks to get two tones but you could easy color the little pieces to get the same efect.

I ended up with a lot of pictures again…

I think this piece of pattern paper I used for the background is my favorite from the New Magnolia Grove 6×6 paper pad.

Not much to tell about this card… die cut, glue, hot foil and adhere the panel to an A2 cardbase.

I don’t know why but I really like this card!  The combination of the pretty papers, see the plaid from the NEW Magnolia Plaid 6×6 pad that I hot foiled and die cut with the Rectnalge Double Border Hot Foil Plate and A2 Rectangle Frames Die Set, and the pretty flowers with the Leaf corners…. love!

Unusual colors for me too…

Thinking about sending cards reminds me of the ones I need to get in the mail!  Do you have a pile on your desk that needs to go out too?

I hope this brings a little Spring beauty to your day!  It does to mine!

poppystamps Floral Vase Pop Up Easel Set Card…

Pam Sparks17 Comments

Hello everyone! It’s Geranium season for hanging baskets around here!  Ferns on the front porch and Geraniums on the back porch.

They always inspire me to make a Geranium card!

This poppystamps Floral Vase Pop Up Easel is so cute!  It’s not huge, fits in an A2 size envelope but it’s slim and so dainty size wise.  I love it!

There’s not much to tell about it!  You just die cut the pieces, glue them together and onto the card!  I did use my favorite thin mounting tape for the vase and the sentiments.

I wrapped a little twine on it… can I make a card without twine?! lol

So sweet and cute with so many different flower dies in the set you can make any flower you want!

I used poppystamps Modest Greetings 2 Hot Foil and Cut die set and Memory Box Cardstock paper pads.

poppystamps easel cards are all so fun and easy and I love that they are easy to display too!  HERE‘s the Geranium I made last year with the basket easel card die set.

Spellbinders Clear Stamp and Die Set Monthly Club Card…

Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone!  Today is all about you…once a year that is!  Hip Hip Hooray!  This is such a cute set!

I didn’t use very many of the dies for this card but I did stamp and die cut them all before I started this card.

Then I decided to stamp and heat emboss in white and color with color pencils!  It was a quick color because small spaces!

Very simple coloring…two shades of each color.

I used Caran d’Ache Pablo pencils.

Almost a one layer card!

I die cut the panel with Hemstitch Rectangles and layered onto black cardstock with my favorite thin mounting tape.

It turned out sweet!  I love the cuteness of the whimsical fonts included with the stamp set and that the space is already figured out, where to place them! I heat embossed in white on black cardstock and die cut them with the included dies! yay for dies!

I have too many pictures but oh well, makes up for the times I don’t have very many. haha

A little different angle.  The stamp lines are very delicate and embossed up so nice!

I think it ended up feeling very feminine even though it’s on kraft! I like it!

It’s A2 size…
