Spellbinders Stencil of the Month Club Card…

Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hello! Welcome to my post for the Spellbinders NEW Stencil of the Month Club!  This month is a variety of stencils and I just used one of them!

On Neenah Classic Crest Solar White I inkblended with Peacock Feathers, Shaded Lilac, Peeled Paint and a little Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink and ink blending brushes.

Spattered on some water droplets and then white drawing ink.

Next I hot foiled a sentiment to vellum in Silver but it didn’t show up as good as I thought it should so I put a strip of green cardstock behind it.  I taped the green strip down, then wrapped the vellum strip around to the back of a panel so I didn’t have to use any glue or tape on the front.

I used a little white gel pen on the Be Bold Blooms die cut flowers.  Simple flower arranging…

Fun to have another card for the stash!

Thank you so much for stopping by! The sun is shining and making me sleepy!  lol  Talk to you again soon!

poppystamps Nordic Crown Flower and Scallop Pinpoint Hearts Slimline Card…

Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hello everyone! How is it February already!  This month is going to fly by too! Our family is in the midst of preparing for a wedding!  One of our grandsons is getting married!  It’s pretty exciting but shopping for a dress and shoes…eek…time consuming!  I haven’t dreamed up a card for them yet! lol

I decided to play around with this new die set a couple weeks ago and had this idea but it ended up too large to be symmetrical so I tried it as a vertical slimline and didn’t like it at all until I turned it horizontal!  whew! lol

Are you enjoying the NEW Nordic line from poppystamps the last couple releases?  There’s a ton of designs!

I used the Nordic Crown Flower and Scallop Pinpoint Hearts here.  The smallest of the hearts.

I needed a sentiment so I went digging and found this Love Jotted Script from Memory Box and went with it.

I used some pink and green cardstocks from my ancient stash! lol

The white background panel is from a Hobby Lobby watercolor pad.

I’m linking to some card challenge blogs…

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Love is in the air

Double D Challenges – Heartfelt

The Flower Challenge #88 – Add a Heart

Triple B February Challenge – use 1, 2 or 3 of the B’s … Birds, Butterflies, Blooms.

Love is in the air a long with warmer temperatures here in Iowa.  We still have a few piles of snow working on melting…it was piled so high!

Thank you so much for stopping by and wish me well on dress and shoe shopping!  If you have any favorite places to shop, let me know!  I’m bad for being a last minute looloo!  waaaahhhh

NEW Memory Box Cards…

Pam Sparks16 Comments

Hello!  I’m enjoying the sunshine today!  It really warms up the house…thankful for that in this below zero weather we’ve been having!

Meanwhile flowers are growing in my stamp room!

Two cards to share with you today…NEW dies and NEW papers!

I inked up the NEW Blooming Anemone and NEW Elegant Anemone dies with Distress Ink and the mini blending tools.  I die cut the florals from Bristol cardstock and used Peacock Feathers and Pine Needles Distress Inks.

Two NEW 6×6 paper pads from Memory Box, Anemone Plaid and Anemone Grove.

I made this card base a mini slimline size. I do love this size…just something charming about it with the florals, inking and plaid.  Wish I could show it to you in person!

The florals are so easy to put together.  I love that.  I just follow the pattern on the envelope by laying the pieces on top of the picture!

Oh, the greens I used for the stems and leaves…Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Ink.

I used a poppystamps sentiment from the Modest Greetings 1 hot foil and cut die set.  Spellbinders gold hot foil.

Taylored Expressions Cardstock… I’ll link below.

The ribbon rolls in my photos are HERE…

Linking this card to some challenges…

Triple B January 2024 Challenge – Blooms

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Let’s Have Some Fun!

NBUS Challenge #58 – Never Before Used Stuff!

Next card…

A NEW hot foild plate, Rectangle Dot Border.  I love how it looks like a faux spotlight!

I used the NEW Happy Birthday Debut Script die cut from the NEW Anemone Grove 6×6 paper pad, tone on tone piece that I used for the background panel.  For the Happy Birthday Debut Script backer, I used plaid from the NEW Anemone Plaid 6×6 paper pad.

I die cut a rectangle of vellum to fit inside the hot foil frame using the Rectangle Basics die set.

Everything is layered on an A2 White cardbase.

Three Doodlebug Design enamel dots for a little something!

I mounted the sentiment with the thin mounting tape I love, to the vellum panel first so I’d know where I could put glue on the back of the vellum to adhere it to the purple pattern paper.

Linking my Happy Birthday card to a new challenge!  Check it out!

Word Power #1 – a challenge using sentiments as the focus

That’s pretty much it!  Holler if you have any questions! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Links to what I used to make these two cards… I added some sentiment stamp sets to the end because I’m always looking for sentiments for the inside so I figure you might be too!

Spellbinders NEW Stencil Club!

Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! Here we are after Christmas and moving right on to the New Year faster that the speed of light!

Have you heard about the NEW Spellbinder stencil of the month club?  I’m sure you have cuz I’m late getting my card posted for December and it’s already closed!  Usually you can order them a month later though.

This set has four stencils.  I used Distress inks and the mini circle Tim Holtz blending tools.

I used Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover and Pine Needles for the greenery.  For the heart flowers I put down Kitsch Flamingo first, then some Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral! lol  You sure wouldn’t need to use all the pinks/reds! lol

I hated to cover up all the stenciling so I went with a fun hot foiled sentiment from the Spellbinder All Occasion Mailbox Greetings Hot Foil set.

I really like how clean and simple it turned out plus it was fast to make!

It’s an A2 size card and completely mailable! I noticed the post office was running cards through the machines even if they had ‘hand cancel’ and extra postage on them.  That is really frustrating.  I even received cards that were completely rigid that had been machined. So cardmakers just put a stamp on it and call it good!  I even received a pkg that was a stamp set and a die, weighed 1.8 ounces and only had one forever stamp on it and it still came intact and no extra postage envelope wanting me to pay extra!  All this technology isn’t speeding things up or accurate!  HOHOHO!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I went MIA because I needed to get some house stuff done and be ready with gifts and 27 ppl on Christmas Eve day!  WOW!  Did we have fun!  Still smiling about it.  I thank God for our family every day!  I hope you had a blessed Christmas too. Talk to you again soon!

Here’s what I used to make this card…

Spellbinders Dancin’ Gingerbread Card and Two Layered Joy Tree Stencil & Die Cards…

Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone!  Getting festive with the gingerbread and trees today!  I love these characters from Spellbinders every year!  So so cute!

I also love these stencil and die sets!  I have this one and the Merry Christmas one.  I didn’t get the Merry Christmas one made into a card yet!  eek!  If only we didn’t need to do laundry, eat and sleep, oh and shop! hoho!

ok – Back to the gingers…

The green is bright!  But tealish and red would be so cute too!  I was going traditional but boom!  It’s bright for me! lol

So for all you green lovers, this one’s for you!

Now I wish I’d tied on a little jingle bell!  I even have some!  I will have to do that and just pay extra postage!  It’s only money, right?!  ha!

I used regular Distress inks on my JOY cards.  Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn, Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral. We were making these Thanksgiving day afternoon.  I copied Anya, one of my granddaughter’s colors!

I think we used Altenew colors for the Joy.  I can’t remember the names now.

One more picture of one stenciled on Hobby Lobby extra heavyweight kraft cardstock.  Pretty sure I used Distress Oxides on this one but more the Lucky Clover ones for the greens.

I hope your cardmaking is coming a long.  I have plenty to do still!

We started out this week hearing one of our granddaughter’s playing with one of our grandson’s fiance (wedding in March) yesterday morning…a string duet… it was so, so beautiful!

Tuesday night is a choir concert for a bunch of the grands…makes me so happy!

You all take care and all the joys and blessings of the season to you and yours!
