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

Sweet Little Stockings Cards…

December 29, 2021December 29, 2021 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! I have another Christmas card post to share before I move on! I spent some of my spare time the last couple months making 18 of these cards for grandkids! They’re all cat and dog loving kids!

I got the fronts put together and adhered to the cardbases and it was what will I put inside to go with the greeting on the front?!

Very Merry Christmas Greetings… and a meowy New Year! hehe Thanks to Lawn Fawn for that part and the Peace, Love and Paws is from My Favorite Things. Very happy with how they turned out!

Then there’s the dog one…I had to color a variety of colored dogs to fit the ones in the families! I didn’t try with the cats…they’re all outdoor cats.

So fun… I varied the stockings a little bit too.

I wanted to be clever with the saying inside the dog cards too… came up with this…

Very Merry Christmas Greetings…and a Yappy New Year!

So cute…they make me smile! Love and good cheer to you all! Thank you so much for supporting me and my cardmaking! I appreciate it!

Stamped in the Misti, die cut in a Big Shot and Colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Have a meowy and yappy New Year if you have critters! I have to settle for a Happy New Year! lol

ttul,

p.s. I wanted to let you know about this great SALE at Simon Says Stamp! ❤

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!

Hello Bluebird Fishin’ Hole Shadowbox Card…

August 17, 2021October 7, 2021 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Meet me at the fishin’ hole! It’s a beautiful day! lol Here’s the card I made for our grandson Corrin who just turned 12! He loves to fish with Grandpa!

I saved this idea from Instagram/designs by mommajean when I saw it last year. So much fun! I made the video after I gave it to Corrin and he showed me that it looked like the fish were swimming when you bend it back and forth! ❤

I didn’t have a shadowbox die set that would work for what I wanted to do so I had to make this up as I went. No instructions, just some Math! lol

Stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird, Memory Box and Lawn Fawn. I’ll link below.

I stamped, die cut the images and colored with Copic Sketch markers. Since alcohol marker ink saturates through to the back side, I die cut a piece of white cardstock to glue behind the colored images.

Bushes and grass dies in the background from Hello Bluebird…

I took a lot of pictures!

Memory Box dies for the greens and coral in the water…

I used a piece of acetate to cover the opening…

Distress Oxide inks for the blues and sandy shore…

Corrin really liked it and the money in the envelope too! lol

Thank you for stopping by! ttul

Lawn Fawn Magic Iris Puppy Birthday Card…

March 17, 2021March 17, 2021 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Meet Maggie! lol There’s a new toy poodle at our middle daughter’s house. So I had to make our youngest grandson a cute Magic Iris Maggie card for his 6th birthday in January. So fun! Charley loves it!

I used the Memory Box Birdhouse die set for the doghouse because I don’t own the Lawn Fawn birdhouse die.

The dog dish and bone are an old big punch or were they an old Quickutz die…I can’t remember! I looked through so much stuff to find something that would work! lol

The Lawn Fawn design team is so inspiring! It’s nice as a card designer/maker not to always have to come up with a new idea!

Here it is closed… pull the arrow tab down and it opens like a camera lens, sorta kinda! hehe

and a video… it’s bad but gives you an idea of how it works.

Thank you for clicking over again today! I’ll link the products I used below. ❤
