October 2, 2024October 4, 2024 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hello cardmaking friends! A die cut card to share today….pretty quick and easy compared to some!

A2 cardbase ink blended with Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink in the center-ish area and Hickory Smoke and Black Soot Distress Oxides around the perimeter.

Spatter with white and black ink, set it aside to dry.

What a cute idea if you have black cats that cooperate! lol

Look how real the spiders look! eek! They’re new from Memory Box, Eerie Spiders die. Five spiders in the set!

I edged the orange die cuts with Rusty Hinge Distress ink.

The spider web is from poppystamps Halloween Assemblage.

Lavish Happy Halloween is NEW from poppystamps.

Intricate Mini Pumpkins are NEW from Memory Box.

I mounted the Happy Halloween and Ghostly Cats with the thin mounting tape I love so much!

poppystamps Neighborhood Home Card…

August 30, 2023August 29, 2023 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Cute card warning! This NEW poppystamps Neighborhood Home Pop Up Easel Set can be used for so many occasions. I was thinking Congrats on your new house but ended up using the NEW poppystamps Whittle Scary Guys! I’m glad they aren’t really scary. (I’m not a big Halloween person)

I didn’t use the Easel part of the die set this time. I used the house layer die to die cut a top folding card. I made a 4 ½ in. x 5 ½ in. cardbase and just kept the fold below the top cut line when I ran it through the Big Shot.

I colored the ‘guys’ with Copic Sketch Markers and covered them with glossy accents. I put the pumpkin behind a window and the ghosts flying out of windows. I love the curtains so I had to add them. lol

I stamped Happy Halloween on the inside from the Halloween Pumpkin stamp and die set.

I die cut the Boo Poe Script twice from white cardstock and once from Black Glossy cardstock. Glued them together a little off so you can see the white behind the black.

Straight forward….cutting and gluing and an A2 size card!

I can’t wait to see what everyone else does with this die set. I think it needs decorated for Christmas!

I still have some card kits for sale…info at the bottom of the post HERE.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today. I hope you’re enjoying some pretty almost Fall days! I can’t believe it!

Boo! Happy Saturday! Two more cute halloween cards to share today then it’s on to the NEW Christmas releases from Memory Box and poppystamps! I hope you’re enjoying and creating with all the new releases! hehe

Here’s the Memory Box Black Glossy cardstock out to play again! I used white glossy on the Boo but it’s hard to tell it in the pictures. I should’ve used it on the ghost and cobweb too! lol

A2 size card…. links below to the dies I used.

Next up, some more purple and orange goodness!

Oxide inks came out to play… two purples and two oranges blended on white cardstock. Then a cloud stencil with white pigment ink brushed on over the top of the purples and oranges.

Spatter on some black and white watercolor inks.

Die cut the ink blended panel with Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die before inking.

The ghost on this card is from the NEW Whittle Creatures die. (in my previous post also)

Sentiment is from Memory Box clear stamp set Halloween Pumpkin.

A2 size card.

I hope you enjoyed this little mini series from me for halloween! Here’s my other two posts with cards from this Memory Box and poppystamps release…. HERE and HERE.

poppystamps Cat Collage Card, Whittle Creatures Card and Jack O Lantern Frame Card…

September 16, 2022 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s Black, Orange and Purple season! But isn’t this black NEW Cat Collage amazing die cut in Memory Box black glossy cardstock! I love the thickness of it….I use a piece of copy paper folded in half for a shim when I die cut it.

Memory Box NEW Happy Halloween Posh Script die cut directly in the glossy card front panel then an orange die cut inlaid into it. Be sure to keep the centers of the letters!

An easy alternative to gluing! I put scor-tape on the back side, flip it over and inlay the die and letter centers. I use scor-tape a lot!

I had a scrap of brayered cardstock that wasn’t good enough to make the keep pile. It worked perfectly for die cutting the background for the cat and the windows of the NEW poppystamps Twisted Houses die!

A2 size card.

Next up is a cute, cute card using the NEW poppystamps Whittle Creatures die set.

Aren’t they cute? oh, I already said that! lol They’ve got personality!

I die cut in white and copic colored. So easy because the only little pieces are the faces. I put a little piece of scor-tape on the backs, then insert the little pieces with a pick up tool. Works great!

I decided to go postal! Memory Box Postage Square Layers for the white layer, Stitched Square Layers for the bluish green layer. I had to cut the black layer with a paper trimmer.

The broom is from the NEW Whittle Witch die.

Then I needed words! I landed on this poppystamps Marzipan Greetings clear set. A bunch of fun sentiments in this set. Love it!

Mini Slimline size card.

My next card is CAS or QAE!

Mini Slimline size card again using the NEW poppystamps Jack O Lantern Frame die.

I die cut it in TE candycorn cardstock. Colored with copics, the branches brown and the leaves green, coloring right over the orange cardstock.

I die cut the NEW poppystamps Boo Pie Script die in Memory Box black glossy cardstock. So fun! A smiling Jack O Lantern just trying to scare you! ha!

I have TWO more Halloween cards to show you tomorrow! Then….guess what?! More NEW coming! Be watching!

Thank you for clicking over and making it through my long post! I kinda got carried away with a three day cardmaking marathon this week. eek! I didn’t mean to scare you! lol

Memory Box NEW Halloween/Fall Release!

August 17, 2022August 17, 2022 Pam Sparks9 Comments

BOO! aka Hello! Time to get inky for Fall! Sharing three projects I made with the NEW Memory Box release!

I’ll start with this cute BOO to YOU! The Fancy Gate Globe is NEW. I paired it with the Snowglobe Backer die to make this hanging or it stands too, tag.

The ghosts are from the NEW Ghosts in the Forest die set and the sentiment is the NEW Boo Posh Script! So cute!

I inked a background piece I cut with the Nested Globes die set and inked with purple inks and an ink blending brush. (it’s a brighter purple IRL)

This was a quick tag to make!

Linking my tag to the Everybody Art Challenge – Tag

Next up is an A2 size card I made with the NEW Ghosts in the Forest die set.

I die cut the scene out of Memory Box’s black glossy cardstock and the ghosts out of white glossy cardstock. I love how it looks IRL.

I inked an A2 size panel for the back with oranges and purples and spattered water, white paint and black paint on to it.

I added the NEW Rickety House die cut in the same glossy black cardstock. For the windows, I die cut the house in white and left the windows in the cut, colored them with a Copic yellow marker, then glued the white to the back of the black house.

I used the NEW Happy Halloween Posh Script die for the sentiment. Die cut in black glossy and an orange from my scraps.

Not really spooky but sure is cute!

Next up is the NEW Creepy Cabin die! This one is really CAS and probably took me the longest because I couldn’t decide whether to color it or not! lol In the end, leaving it white won out.

It’s not so creepy anyway! haha

I inked a purple-ish background, cut everything in white.

I used the Wooded Glen Collage die from a previous release for the top layer. Then a few pumpkins I got inky from the Pile of Pumpkins die. The stems I colored with a Copic marker.

Layered them up with that thin thin foam mounting tape I like.

Oh, I stamped Hello from the Halloween Pumpkin clear stamp set from a previous release.

This card is 5 ½ inches square. A nice size… I like it!

I’ll link everything below.

And thank you so much for clicking over. I’ll be back…so much I want to make!
