Lawn Fawn Platform Pop Up Birthday Beach Card…

June 30, 2022July 5, 2022 Pam Sparks11 Comments

I have a few of these interactive cards to share with you in the next few days. The kids all have them now. I forgot to take a picture to show that it fits in an envelope but it does!

I used some Lawn Fawn stamp sets for the images and the sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.

I sure had fun coloring these. I used Copic Sketch markers and a little white gel pen.

I had to make the sun because I didn’t have a big enough sun die. I used a Memory Box slimline die and stitch circle die.

I use pattern paper for the interactive platform die cut. It works better if it’s not a heavyweight cardstock, in my opinion.

I found a yo yo stamp in a Paper Smooches stamp set. This card is for Henry and he’s quite the yo yo expert! I love it!

Holler if you have any questions! My last photo is a phone picture…a little bit different color wise.

Spellbinders 20th Birthday Celebration and SALE!

June 14, 2022June 15, 2022 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! Time to celebrate another birthday! It’s hard to believe Spellbinders has been around 20 years! I can remember when they first started in the papercrafting business! Remember the Wizard? We’ve come a long way! lol

I had the opportunity to post for them today and you know I’m always up for an interactive die design!

I’m showing my take on the Pick Your Greeting Slider Die set, the Slider Bar Accents die set and the Complimentary Slider Greetings stamp set. They’re all a part of the Birthday Celebrations Collection.

As you pull the tab, the arrow moves up and down the sentiments…

So cute! I think this would be super fun with stickers also for a quick and easy card…last minute…although just die cutting is fast too.

Just looking at these pictures makes me want cake! haha

I put a little white pigment ink on the die and pressed the die cut back in the die to get the letters ‘PULL’ to show up more.

I die cut the white tab frame in white cardstock and used mounting tape strips on three sides and small pieces on the top for the stopper.

On the inside it’s very clean and simple but a GREAT BIRTHDAY message!

And back to the top! I love easy to make interactive cards. Super cute sets… check them out at the links below! If you’re like me, you always need more birthday cards! Enjoy the celebration!

p.s. I added a reel with another slider made with stickers on Instagram… go see it HERE and turn up your volume! ❤

Spellbinders is having a birthday special right now… $20 OFF your next purchase of $100 and a Bonus $20 OFF Machines!

Platform Pop Up Hat’s Off To YOU Card…

June 8, 2022June 8, 2022 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s a happy time of year for so many kids! I made several grad congrats cards but this is the only one I took pictures of.

I used the popular Lawn Fawn Platform Pop up die set! I have made so many of these already! It’s so fun and easy too!

I used an older Avery Elle stamp and die set for the images and the congrats, graduate strip is from Taylored Expressions. I’ll link to a newer version of the images below.

Super fun images… I didn’t think to get a picture of it flat. It fit into an A6 envelope.

Because I used Copic Sketch Markers to color, I die cut an extra piece of white cardstock to put on the back of the images to cover up the coloring. It worked great for the hats because then I could sandwich the acetate strips inbetween the colored hat and the plain hat die cuts.

Here’s the back… I used a two tone 12×12 bo bunny 65# cardstock for the base and the add on backdrop. The colors are kinda weird in the pictures but they matched much better IRL!

I stamped the sentiments from the set with Ranger Archival Black ink.

Thank you so much for stopping in today! I’m off to make some more flower cards!

poppystamps Brilliant Geraniums Flower Set Easel Card…

May 26, 2022May 28, 2022 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! I haven’t purchased my red geraniums yet! I need to get shopping! Today’s card I brought out the poppystamps Woven Basket Pop Up Easel Set to plant my flowers in!

I die cut and edged all my pieces with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool.

I love this NEW poppystamps Brilliant Geraniums Flower Set! I used an old mouse pad and stylus to do a little flower shaping also.

Here’s a close up of the HELLO from the NEW poppystamps Birthday Wishes Poe Script Hot Foil Plate and Dies set.

I used Gold Hot Foil but I didn’t get a great picture that shows the goldness! lol

I backed the basket and used a strip on the base of a plaid from the Memory Box Woodsy Plaid 6×6 paper pad.

Memory Box Fairy Dewdrops for the flower centers…

Showing how it fits in an envelope. I will use an A6 size when I mail this. My flower is up to high for an A2.

It didn’t want to lay completely flat without me holding it down, but it does go completely flat.

I put the flowers together like they’re shown on the front of the package. I put the easel card together just like it shows on the back of the package! That helps so much to have pictures!

I’m linking to some Blog Challenges…

Everything is super green here! I have ferns for the front porch, now I just need a couple red baskets for the back porch. Let the watering begin!

Do any of you have Boston Ferns? How do you water them? Mine are always so full, it’s hard to get water to go in from the top, so I fill up a pail of water, take the fern down and sit the pot in the pail of water and let it soak up. I’ve had really good luck with that in the past but I wonder if there’s a faster way?!

Thank you for stopping by and I’ll talk to you later!

My Favorite Things Birdie Brown Sittin’ Pretty and Lawn Fawn Platform Pop Up Card…

May 7, 2022May 7, 2022 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! I LOVE cute! I don’t make it near as much as I used to but I still love cute and coloring!

This is the NEW Lawn Fawn Platform Pop up die and MFT Birdie Brown Sittin’ Pretty stamp and die set.

They’re small images so fast coloring! Every girl should have a birdie singing happy birthday to her don’t you think?!

Tim and I have three granddaughters that turned 17 already this year! HOW? Time flies indeed! Just yesterday they were playing house!

This fits in an A2 size envelope. If you used taller images, you’d need to use a larger or square envelope.

I used paper from my ancient stash…

The fence is from poppystamps. Colored with Copic Sketch markers.

Thank you for clicking over! I’ll be back soon with NEW from Memory Box, poppystamps and Birch Press Design!!! You can see the new at Starlitstudio.net and Simon Says Stamp!

Here’s what I used to make this card…I’m linking the platform pop up but it’s out of stock everywhere. ugh
