Impression Obsession Chicken Birthday Card…

March 10, 2022March 9, 2022 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Just ‘chick’en in on the blog scene! We celebrated middle daughter’s birthday last week… her current flock of new chickens is white! Her first flock was a variety.

The sentiment on the front and the one on the inside are from Printworks Collection.

This super cute hen and chick are from Impression Obsession and designed by Anna Wight. I cut them in natural white linen cardstock and inked the edges with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool. The red and oranges pieces are scraps of cardstock.

I was digging through 6×6 pattern paper pads with our granddaughter Anya and saw this old Cosmo Cricket pad called Early Bird and went with it! So cute!

A couple stitched rectangle die cuts and everything adhered and it was done! Only took me 15 minutes to decide what color button to use! lol

Thanks so much for stopping by! ttul!

Here’s what I used to make this card…

Impression Obsession Snowman With Fence Birthday Card…

February 4, 2020February 4, 2020 Pam Sparks8 Comments

January is a big birthday month for our family… I’m behind posting my cards! This one was for our youngest grandson Charles… he picked out the stamp. I made him another interactive card that I was experimenting with that he loved. I need to improve on it though to make that one post worthy! lol

I stamped this on Canson Smooth Bristol and watercolored it with Zig Clean Color Brush markers.

Definitely a jolly, happy soul! I used some Nuvo Crystal Drops gloss white on the snow.

I stamped the number 5 on one of the new poppystamps Heart Tag Trio. The snow is from a new poppystamps Whittle Cloud Border die set. Both die cut in white cardstock. I love how fluffy it looks as snow!

The sentiment Birthday Boy is from poppystamps Sentiments of Hello stamp set, inked up with Taylored Expressions Cookie Monster Ink. Taylored Expressions cardstock, Confetti Cake for the card base also.

Thanks for stopping by today! I have a couple CAS Valentines to post soon, so I’ll be back! ❤

Two Cards…a Birthday and a Snowman!

January 17, 2019 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! It was Tim’s birthday the other day… I made him a card! He was surprised! lol

This cute little raccoon is old, from Stampendous, the sentiment too. I searched and didn’t find it anywhere but I thought it was fun enough to share and bring some smiles!

Colored with Copics on Neenah 110# Solar White cardstock.

Then our swap at club Friday was a snowman theme. I made this…

It’s from a clear stamp set by Impressions Obsession. I stamped with Ranger Archival Black ink on kraft and colored it with white and blue color pencil. A Memory Box Postage frame die and a little red heart to jazz it up. Add a heart any time you can. lol

A jolly happy soul! May love and laughter light your days and warm your heart and home!

Thanks for stopping by!

Impression Obsession Nativity card…

December 23, 2014December 26, 2014 Pam Sparks21 Comments

I love Christmas… tomorrow our family will gather and we’ll start our Christmas Eve celebration by putting out the nativity set. Each child will pick a character and place it in the scene when we come to that part of the scripture. Every once in awhile through the rest of the day and even through the year they will talk about it… makes my heart happy!

This is the card I sent to our daughters/families. Inspired by Dina from the IO design team.

I sprayed and spattered white linen on the blue background. The grass die is from poppystamps…the fence and nativity from Impression Obsession.

I edged the kraft with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.

On the inside, I used the sentiment, ‘joy to the world’ from a Tim Holtz Sizzlet long die.

Festive Friday Challenge…

September 10, 2014September 10, 2014 Pam Sparks21 Comments

Here I am sneaking into the Festive Friday Challenge with only a couple hours to spare! eek! It’s a photo inspiration challenge and I love the photo so I just had to play!

I used the Impression Obsession Pine Branch to make my wreath…following the tutorial on Klaudia’s blog, HERE. She made a beautiful ornament…I want to do that too! : )

Some wood veneer stars that I colored with a Krylon 18 K Gold paint pen…My Favorite Things Pierced Fishtail Flag die (I tried to edge it with the gold pen after I already stuck it on the card…oops, kinda messy but hey… it’s a rustic looking sign in the photo) and Memory Box Merry Christmas die. Links below.

This ended up being a 6×6 inch card!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a good rest of the week… it’s stamp club Friday here… fun! ttul!
