Lawn Fawn Snowball Fight Platform Pop-Up Interactive Card…

March 11, 2023March 13, 2023 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! I have an end of Winter card to share today! Maybe an end to Winter… haha!

I made this for our youngest grandson’s 8th birthday…he loves the outdoors!

Linking to Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 144 – All Things Birthday

I started by making the platform pop-up. I LOVE Lawn Fawn’s interactive die sets! They are so meticulously made AND made in the USA! I have used this set so many times since I purchased it…best purchase ever! It’s even easy to walk the kids through making it!

It always takes me a little time deciding what to use. I made a set using Doodlebug Design stickers after seeing one of their design team members cards… So so cute!

Kelly from Lawn Fawn always makes excellent videos for walking you through construction too! I was totally inspired by the LF team in creating this card. The how to put the Platform Pop-up together video is HERE.

I stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with sketch copic markers. White gel pen for accenting here and there.

For the snow hills I used the curved borders from the LF Shadow Box Card and Shadow Box Card Theather Add-on. Trimming them to fit the front and inside.

The sign on the front is from the Berry Special stamp set and die set.

The pattern paper I used is from LF also… I don’t see it in the store anymore though.

I know I’ve shown this before in my other posts but I love how easy it collapses and fits in an A6 or A7 envelope!

You can collapse it either up or down!

The kids love it! I love it! ❤

I hope you’re inspired to try it! Thank you so much for stopping by twice this week! I appreciate it!

MFT Cash Card Kit Birthday Card…

January 16, 2023January 16, 2023 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! Super fun birthday cards today.

I couldn’t resist using the cash card kit again. This is the third one and I have a short video to share of it and I’ll post a picture of the first two I made with the kit also.

Here’s the back… I signed it back here and stamped the date.

Then I have this bag die that fits a card so I die cut it in heavy printer paper and decorated it with Doodlebug Washi Tape…it was hand delivered. It fits all the way down in, I just left it up for the picture.

Here’s a video of it…tap/click to enlarge to get the full resolution/sharpness! ❤ It’s better quality on Instagram if you want to click over… It should let you watch without making an account.

HERE

ok – I see what the deal is with the video… you have to click the sliders and choose high quality after you click the outside bracket symbol to the far bottom right to enlarge it. ugh. I wish it would just load it at a decent size and quality to watch without clicking! But that’s tech for you, always thinking they’re making it better and we’re just clicking, clicking! waaahhh! rme. Then you have to hit the play arrow in the bottom left corner and if you want to replay it, hit the curved arrow in the same corner! That’s my computer anyway. I’ll check it on the phone.

Here’s a picture of the first two I made for the two of our grandsons with birthdays in December. I didn’t even take a picture of the back I guess. December turns into a blur around here!

The kids are loving these cards! I’ll link to what I used below!

Thanks for stopping by and holler if you have any questions!

Thank you for shopping through my links! I truly do appreciate it!

I used an old Memory Box die from 2016, Snowflake Ring #99494. It’s 3.3 x 3.3 inches. This die, HERE, would work, you could cover the flowers with snowflakes! It’s the same size. HERE’S the Circle Category if you’d want to check out the possibilities! or this new one HERE might work!

Simon Says Stamp October Release!

October 7, 2022October 7, 2022 Pam Sparks7 Comments

NEW! NEW! NEW! Welcome to my blog post today introducing a new stamp from the Simon Says Stamp Cozy Hugs Release.

When this stamp came in the mail… I was stunned with the size but loved the bold print of it and challenged with what I would do!

So I put it in the MISTI and started inking with Lawn Fawn Ink Cubes, Lobster and Artichoke. I tore some scrap paper squares to kinda mask off but finally just ended up wiping off if I got ink where I didn’t want it.

I LOVE it! ❤

Fortunately I thought to snap a phone picture before I chopped it in half! (sorry it’s blurry, ugh, I only took one)

It’s just everything traditional Christmas to me! lol

I used a wide ruler to try to decide WHERE to cut it in half…finally realized there was no rhyme nor reason to where!

I ended up with two Mini Slimline size cards.

This one I just stamped a sentiment right over the design. Happy Christmas from the SSS Inside Christmas Greetings stamp set.

The second I tried gold heat embossing directly on the design but it didn’t show up as well as I thought it would.

I heat embossed a piece of vellum and positioned it directly over the direct to card embossed sentiment.

Now I wonder if I shouldn’t have added some gems or something but you know me… I err on the side of clean and simple!

Are you looking forward to Christmas creating or have you already started? This release has some wonderful things in it!

Tired to catch the gold embossing in the picture a little better.

I had fun making these!

I hope you’ll check out the new release. Thank you for clicking from my blog…if you click from somewhere else but want me to get credit, be sure to come back to my blog and click again. I appreciate it so much and thank you from the bottom of my cardmaking loving heart! ❤

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Lawn Fawn Platform Pop Up High Five Birthday Card…

July 7, 2022January 3, 2023 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Two more cute pop up cards! The last two for this round of family birthdays! These critters are having a grand time celebrating! Today is Corrin’s 13th birthday and the other is for Cedryk who will be 10 later this month. They grow up so fast!

I die cut Happy Birthday in blue and backed it with a white die cut, then added three clouds to the back. I love how that turned out with the balloons! (I used clouds from a couple companies)

Close up… I stamped, die cut and then colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Our oldest daughter has a big, nice tramp and the kids have so much fun on it! We were over there the other day and after they jumped awhile they moved to the slides! They greased them with dish soap and soon there was a competition happening! So funny!

close up… I did different balloon colors on this one.

I used Doodlebug pattern paper for the pop up and TE cardstock for the grass.

Here’s my phone picture…shows the detail of the giant Happy Birthday better! I know I already said this but the clouds! ❤

Thank you for clicking over for the backyard playtime…reminds me of a meme I saw on instagram… we had some good times didn’t we! Bug bites and all!

ttul!

Hi everybody! I had so much fun making these pop ups! Inspired by the Lawn Fawn design team! I’m so happy how this turned out!

I stamped, colored with Copic Sketch Markers and die cut all the images.

Here’s a close up…I die cut the Happy Birthday die in white and black, glued them together a little offset.

A phone picture just because it captures it a little different.

Holler if you have any questions!

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.
