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

Hello Friend! Memory Box NEW Ruffled Blooms and More Card…

April 7, 2022 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Everyone is all about flowers right now! It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year! lol

I started with an A2 card base, I cut the Hello Friend shadow part of the die directly in the card base. Then cut the shadow in white and the outline in NEW Memory Box Glossy Black cardstock. Love this stuff! I very very lightly put a little Tombow Mono Multi glue on the top, bottom and side edges and inlaid it into the cardbase. When you open the card you can see through and between some of the letters. I like it!

I die cut the NEW Memory Box dies, Ruffled Blooms and Riverbank Large Layered Blooms, from the Memory Box 6×6 Fresh Aqua cardstock pad.

I die cut the New Memory Box Exquisite Leaf Set dies from the Memory Box 6×6 Lush Green cardstock pad. The leaves in this die set are a must have! So beautiful and good with all the flower dies!

I wasn’t quite sure where I was headed with this design but I love these colors and I’m really happy with how it turned out! I will need to use an A6 envelope for presentation though because I left some petals and leaves over the edge a bit.

Pretty simple and all die cuts again!

Whimsical and you know I always love kraft! The cardstock I use for kraft cardbases is from Hobby Lobby… their Extra Heavyweight cardstock.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a good rest of the week and a lovely Spring weekend! Spring in Iowa means rain. (how come there’s not a let it rain sentiment like let it snow?! haha) So stay dry if you can! ha

Birch Press Design Adornment Peony Card…

February 16, 2022February 16, 2022 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi friends and papercrafters! A CAS card to share with you today.

Inlaid die cutting with Birch Press Design’s New Adornment Peony die. I die cut the flower in white and ink blended Picked Raspberry Oxide Ink on the flower petals and Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Oxide inks on the leaves with Taylored Expressions Blending Brushes. This is an awesome set…the solid dies for backing the die piecing parts is in included!

I die cut the top panel with the Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangles Die set.

I stamped the sentiment from the poppystamps Diamond Sentiments clear stamp set with Peacock Feathers Oxide ink in the MISTI.

I added a scatter of several Memory Box Clear Fairy Drops.

It’s lighter, pinker than my pictures show. ugh. I tried. lol

It’s unusually warm here so far today…55˚ but suppose to go down to 12˚ before the day is over! eek! Guess I’ll stay in and keep working.

NEW Dies/cards on the horizon!

Memory Box Twiggy Alphabet Tags…

December 16, 2021December 16, 2021 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Good morning! The weather outside was frightful yesterday! lol I didn’t blow away so I’ve got some tags to share!

I LOVE this new alphabet die set from Memory Box…here I used the main letters, die cut in the tag and inlaid the white die letters in the tag then. I used scor-tape on the back of the tag to hold them in and another tag so the back looks nice.

I used Sizzix Sticky Sheet Grid to line up the dies for die cutting.

Here’s what they look like if you use both the main letter and the backer piece.

I had fun! I wanted to make the light bulbs more colorful but I made them to match the wrapping paper I have.

I had to paint the beads but it wasn’t a big deal… I used skewers and toothpicks! Acrylic paint dries fast.

Lawn Fawn’s light bulb die set worked perfect for me.

So fun! I love doing stuff like this!

I used Taylored Expressions cardstocks…

Hemp twine to tie on the beads… black eyelets in the holes.

I glued the electrical wire on and used mounting tape to mount the bulbs.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you’re having fun making too… it’s down to the wire! Tomorrow is the homeschool Christmas party my granddaughters and I are doing tag make and takes for. We have six different tags ready…25 of each. Probably too many. lol Fun! Fun!

ttul!

Memory Box Florentina Wreath and Merry Christmas Posh Script Card…

October 24, 2021 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone! Have you started on your Christmas card stash yet? I’m working away dreaming of all the fun stuff there is out there to make!

Today’s card is a couple new dies and a sentiment from a new stamp set that I used on a previous card.

I die cut the new Florentina Wreath in heavyweight white cardstock and colored it with Copics.

Then I decided to inlay it back into the white panel that I die cut it from! I love how it looks! Hopefully you can see it in some of my pictures.

I wish I’d used a lighter brown for the branch so the red berries would’ve shown up better but the dot of white gel pen did help!

Very easy to inlay back in because there’s only the outside panel and the inside panel pieces to piece the wreath back into! Super easy and classy looking! That word gives me another idea… die cutting the wreath and then using embossing ink, gold embossing powder and heat embossing to make the wreath gold!

This is an A2 size card… the wreath panel is 4 x 5 ¼ in. then the black mat layer is just a teeny border and the cardbase is 5 ½ x 8 ½ in. folded and scored.

Very traditional again but festive and CAS too!

The sentiment is white embossing powder on TE oreo cardstock and from the new Festive Christmas Greetings stamp set.

Holler if you have any questions…I’m sure I forgot something. lol

OH! The die cut Merry Christmas is a beautiful new die, Merry Christmas Posh Script! I die cut it in TE Cherry Pop and white cardstock.

I cut narrow pieces of foam mounting tape for the back and adhered it over the inlaid wreath.

Thank you for stopping by! Thinking….what to make next!
