poppystamps Sending Love Poe Script and Criss Cross Heart Foil Plate and Stencil…

Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone!  Still in Valentine mode here…when I finished this card I thought, ‘watch out Hallmark’! lol  Because irl, it looks like a Hallmark card!  I’ve arrived!  hahahahahahahahaha

I really tried hard not to have reflections in the gorgeous gold mirror/foil cardstock.  Almost imporssible!

So this is why all the pictures in weird positions! lol

tada!  99.9% on this last one! lol

Very basic card…. clean and simple even!  I foiled a piece of A2 cardstock with the new poppystamps beautiful Criss Cross Heart Foil Plate…

It’s hard to see in my photos but I used the new poppystamps Criss Cross Heart Stencil to up the red on the hearts but it’s really hard to see in my pictures.  It’s very subtle, but I love it!

I die cut the next largest Memory Box Double Stitch Loving Heart Cut Out die in gold mirror/foil cardstock.  I love this stuff from Starlitstudio.

For the sentiment I die cut the new poppystamps Sending Love Poe Script die in Memory Box Black Glossy cardstock!  I know, I keep saying it but it’s awesome stuff too!

I layered the foiled heart panel on black gloggy too… so narrow but so classy!   I wish you could see this in real life! hehe

Birch Press Design Banner Heart Layer Die Set Card…

Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi again!  Hearts a plenty!  Next it’ll be bunches of flowers! lol

Once you start cutting these layers, you wonder what it’d look like this way or that and end up with slimline cards!  Birch Press Design NEW Banner Heart Layer set….3 dies in the set.  I didn’t even try just using one or by twos!   How about little stars up in the right hump! Patriotic is good too! Hearts for all occasions really!

I like the pink and more card but you know…I’m partial to red!  ❤

Nothing out of the ordinary here…die cut and glue together.

I did get some stamping on this one though.  Using the Memory Box Big and Little Valentines stamp set… I curved the stamps on a block… they stamped great!  I stuck the cutouts that I threw away in the spot to test though.  I’m a tester stamper! lol  I suppose every once in a while I gamble but for the most part I’ve learned my lessons well! lol

one of the red close up…

For the this one, I used the Memory Box Slim Confetti Plate for the front panel/background… I thought it was playful and fun with the banner look.  Reminds me of that candy that came in dots on paper and you picked it off to eat it.  gag.  Can’t believe the stuff I ate as a kid!  Much better on a card!

The sentiment here is from the NEW Birch Press Design Sugar Script Sentiments 1 Hot Foil Plate and die set.  I foiled it in silver on Memory Box Black Glossy cardstock.

I placed the hearts on wonky and straight. I think they’ll mail fine.  I can’t believe postage is going up again. ugh

Happy Thursday to you and I’m on to the next birthday card.  Our youngest grandson turns 8 tomorrow!  Doesn’t seem possible! We are blessed!

ttul!

Memory Box Heart Ring Stack Card…

Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone!  I always have to make some CAS (clean and simple) Valentine cards.  All my favorite things in an easy card!

I love traditional stamping and paper bits!  Using up some scraps…and the white border almost like white embossing on kraft!

I had good luck with photos today!  Another dreary day.  My Nikon likes dreary I guess…more than I do for sure! ugh

I always love adding this lightweight MayArts jute too…

The cardstock I’m using is from Hobby Lobby…their extra heavyweight kraft.  I love it but this ream must be cut wrong because it curves.  I need to put it under a stack of books!  I still love it though! ❤

What are your favorite colors for Valentines?  It’s kinda fun to mix it up a little but it seems I don’t stray far from kraft, white, black and of course RED!

That’s it for my pictures! lol  Holler if you have any questions.  oh, I did mount it with my favorite thin mounting tape.  I use scor-tape on the back to hold the pieces in place first.

Simon Says Stamp KISSES January Release!

Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! Lots of paper hearts, hugs and kisses coming your way! Check out this NEW release at Simon Says Stamp!

Here’s the NEW stamp set that was sent to me to show off!  It’s called Swoopy Flowers!  I don’t know if I did it justice but I gave it a good try, coloring with Copic Sketch Markers!

I stamped and cut the images out on the Scan and Cut but there are dies to coordinate! There’s also a stencil for coloring!  Fun!

I used the R80s, the YR00s and the G20s. 

I made the rectangle frame with Waffleflower A2 Layers and Additional A2 Layers die sets. 

Die cut black cardstock with the smaller rectangle and the white with a larger rectangle so it’s picture framed or matted like a picture!

I love this look!  I did it with a circle die also and I’ll show that card in the next day or two.

The Happy Valentines Day sentiment is from the Love and Valentines Word Mix 2 stamp set.  I stamped in clear embossing ink, sprinkled with Lawn Fawn White Embossing powder and heat embossed it.

Some Cupcake Doodlebug Sprinkles for a little embellishment.

Other sentiments that would’ve worked here are from the Love Greetings Mix… fun.  I’ll link it below even though I’m not showing it today. 

I hope you can dash over and check out the new release.  It’s a colorful Valentine season I’m sure!  Have fun making some paper art today!

Simon Says Stamp Good Luck Charm Release and Copic Sale…

Pam Sparks4 Comments

Welcome to my blog today!  I have a card to share with one of the new stamps sets from the NEW Simon Says Stamp Good Luck Charm Release! 

Since it’s February and all about hearts… I went with a heart presentation for this Get Well Card using the NEW Well Wishes stamp set.

I used the ‘feel better soon’ stamp to create a 5 ¼ inch square background by stamping it four times on gray with dark gray ink.

I love how easy it stamped!  I just used an acrylic block and it stamped beautifully!  I stamped it on a Honeybee Stacking Hearts Die die cut in red. Backed it with a Honeybee Scallop Hearts Die cut in white.

‘You are on my heart’ is from the new SSS stamp set also.  I stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with Lawn Fawn white embossing powder on black.

I love how crisp it all looks…and cheery too!

It’s 5 ½ inches square so it will require the extra ounce postage to snail mail.  Worth it!  hehe

 

NOW for What’s on SALE at SSS! I need some refills so I better order!

Birch Press Design Adornment Peony Card…

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!
