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.

Baseball Birthday Boy Card…

June 21, 2022 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! Always birthdays happening around here! Rogan turned 8 June 1st and I’m just now getting this posted. I don’t think I’ve gotten all the other birthdays posted either so this is probably good that I’m getting this one done!

I really liked this card! Usually I like to do something interactive but there’s not enough sports stamps in my stash so the interactive part came on the inside. I really like the sets I used though and am getting a lot of use out of them!

I had some baseball washi tape that kinda covered up the fact that this die has scallop edges.

I used An Altenew Alphabet set on the front and the stamps and dies from Sunny Studio and Waffleflower. Here’s another card I used the Batter set for.

Rogan likes to keep busy playing sports or helping his dad.

I loved using the alphabet for his name and embellishing it… now I want to do it everytime but I probably better not. lol

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope your day is a HOME RUN! haha

poppystamps Cabin Snowglobe Pop Up Easel Card…

November 15, 2021 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m so in love with this set! I copied and made it like the photo on the package! lol I was making it for card kits so I just copied to skip the design process… Thank you Dave/poppystamps for designing and inspiring our cardmaking! ❤

So much potential though, for beautiful Winter cards! I know I”ll have to make it again and again with other dies too! I can see a snowman in the picture, can’t you? a sleigh? laughing all the way… brrrr lol

I have a lot of pictures because my camera does better on an overcast day…or maybe it’s me that does better on an overcast day! haha

On the back of the packaging are pictures of how it goes together. I’ve made a lot of easel cards but I still have to look to remember how these go together. Very easy.

I love being able to display cards. I use mine for decorating the mantel until I have to mail them!

The Warmest Wishes sentiment is from Memory Box Festive Christmas Greetings clear stamp set. So many good sentiment sets anymore from Memory Box and poppystamps…I love it when I can match the front with the inside!

The easel will lay down flat and then into an A2 envelope! So nice! I’m sitting here looking at it wishing I could show you IRL! lol

So festive and beautiful! I love making for Christmas! I hope you’re inspired! Have a good week and I’ll talk to you later!

Memory Box Joy and Cheer, Large Pine Cone and Gentle Pine Needle Sprig Dies Card…

October 19, 2021October 19, 2021 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! How are you? It’s cooling off here in Iowa and the days have been beautiful! I hope you’re enjoying the Fall where you are too!

My card today reminds me of the fancy ones you get from businesses with all the gold foiling and personalized touches! I was tickled that this came out leaning toward a masculine feeling. Sometimes Tim needs cards for business associates so this one would work great!

I used the NEW Memory Box Woodsy Plaid 6×6 double sided papers pad. Gorgeous designs!

I don’t know why flat photos turn out different colors but the plaid is pretty anyway…somewhere between the colors in the photos! lol

Really straight forward card… die cut the images and sentiment from Bazzill Gold Foil cardstock, HERE… glue the pinecone together… die cut the sentiment backer from one of the blues from the Memory Box Stormy Blue 6×6 cardstock pad.

I used foam mounting tape on the cone and the sentiment.

I forgot to take a picture of the inside but I finished it with a piece of lighter blue from the same Stormy Blue cardstock pad and stamped an image/Wishing you a very Merry Christmas from the Yuletide Moments stamp set… I love this set! Beautiful images for the front and inside of the card!

The gorgeous pearls are new from Starlitstudio! I love having the smaller sizes! Thank you Cindy! She has them in other colors also… HERE… there are so many in the little bottle, it doesn’t look like I used any!

This card is 4 ⅜ in x 6 ¼ in so it will fit in an A7 envelope with room to spare, no corners ruined in mailing.

The pinecone is so pretty… it really catches the light and shows the dimension that Dave designed into the die!

Thank you for stopping by today!
