Sweet Stamping Pixies Challenge #2 – Kraft…

April 9, 2012May 13, 2012 Pam Sparks29 Comments

Second Monday of the month makes it time for Sweet Stamping Pixies Challenge time!

Along with using your pixie/fairy/sprite stamps this month, the challenge is to use kraft on your creation too!

I used this sweet Magnolia Fairy Tale Tilda stamp and finally some of the Magnolia Doohickey Dies that I’ve been collecting! I do love these thinner dies and what a variety we have to choose from anymore! Wonderful!

The stitching lines stamp I used is from a clear stamp set by Sandylion and the sentiment is from Savvy stamps. I used Broken China and the ink blending tool around the circle. Diamond stickles on her wings.

I stamped Tilda on Papertrey Ink select white card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic Sketch markers.

We had family birthdays yesterday so I’ll have another birthday card to share tomorrow…

Hope you get a chance to click over to the Sweet Stamping Pixies challenge and play along! A great Magnolia stamp will go to the winner, sponsored by Magnolia-licious!

I’m entering my card in the following challenges…

By the Cute and Girly – Once Upon a time

Magnolia…Stolen Heart Edwin

January 29, 2012April 23, 2013 Pam Sparks37 Comments

Who stole my heart? My achy breaky heart! That Edwin…at it again! This handsome guy is one of the new images from Magnolia’s Sweet Crazy Love collection.

I created a scene using the sketch from Stempeleinmaleins Challenge blog… I used Magnolia stamps, Edwin and the heart/love corner…Magnolia’s Doohickey Mini Zig Zag die for the grass…love it!

When you see the sketch, you’ll see why I used the branches in the top corners…a unique photo corner! lol I was going to use the CCD Cutter parenthesis die with the AmyR Stamps All About Love sentiment, Be My Valentine but then decided to lay it up in the corner and there it stayed!

The polka dot paper is from the Echo Park, Yours Truly 6×6 paper pad.

An ATC and two tags…

December 25, 2011August 12, 2013 Pam Sparks15 Comments

Merry Christmas to all! Every year I’m more amazed at how fast time goes by! ssssshhhh I don’t want to admit it’s because I’m older and just slower! pout!

Here’s an ATC (artist trading card) I just made for a “four for four” mail swap…had fun with the In the Meadow stamps and dies from PTI (Papertrey Ink). The Winter Town stamp is from Hero Arts. I used Distress stains to ink up the stamp… can’t remember which two now…ugh! Frosted Lace stickles for the glitter.

For stamping and die cutting the sledder, here’s what I did… I die cut the sledder, tacked it down with a little tape to my craft mat. Used the stamp a ma jig to stamp the image on the die cut. I tried stamping it first and then cutting but I just couldn’t get it lined up good enough to suit me that way. The partial silhouette of the snowman is an older Stampin Up punch. The sentiment is from PTI also.

A couple gift tags…

This was for our oldest daughter, Heather. Her birthday is Christmas Day. The nurses had sewn up flannel stockings for the Christmas Day babies…I have photos of her as a baby in that stocking. When this Tilda image came out, I had to have it! Tilda is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers. Hair E30, 15, 08. 17 and 18 or 19, can’t remember at the moment. Skin E000, 00, 21 and cheeks diluted R20. Green BG93, 96, Red W3, R35, 37, 39 and 59. Fluff E40,41, 42, 43 and a white gel pen.

I stamped this Hero Arts typewriter on kraft card-stock and on natural card-stock too. I cut out the natural and adhered it to the typewriter after I stamped the message on it with the stamp a ma jig. The two holly leaves are an EK Success punch and the bow is an old quickutz die.

I could go on creating for Christmas for months and still have new stuff to use! Crazy! My favorite time of year! What a mess I have in my stamp room! EEK! oh well, I’m resting up today and enjoying the Christmas tree a little bit longer!

Here’s what 1800 lights on a 9 foot Christmas tree look like at night and it didn’t tip over once this year! yea! lol (my photo skills don’t do it justice!)

Merry Christmas and God bless you! I appreciate your friendship and support through this blog!

Cyber Monday and Winter Tilda…

November 28, 2011November 29, 2012 Pam Sparks42 Comments

Tried my hand at distress ink coloring again… The new Tim Holtz Winter Distress Ink collection was just sitting there on the desk looking neglected! I do love the colors! Special price on them at Simon Says.. link below. The Happy Holiday and red pearl brads are from Bo Bunny.

I used the sketch and I’ll be linking up, from the challenge blog Stempeleinmaleins, HERE The Happy Holiday brad is the “text” in the sketch. I had fun with it!

The snowflakes are from Marvy…three sizes. I used a sheet of Christmas ad looking paper from the Echo Park Season’s Greetings 6×6 pad to punch them. It’s linked below.
