Memory Box Easel card and video…

June 4, 2013May 18, 2014 Pam Sparks31 Comments

So excited to share an Easel card with you today… it’s a multiple easel, Easel card! I love working with Memory Box and Poppystamps dies and papers…to really see the card well in the video, change the ‘gear’ to HD and click the full screen. It’s so much better BIG! : ) This was my 3rd take… the first two…well, I got the measurements and names right but messed up with construction! oh well…be sure to note the ‘notes’! Hope it inspires you to use your dies… hehe

I show the construction process and tell the sizes in the video…

I LOVE the addition of the kite to this scene! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

You can swing for awhile… grab a friend and go for a bike ride and even rest for awhile on the awesome park bench!

Here’s a closeup of that FUN bike!

I used all Memory Box card-stocks… Water, Dill, Granny Smith, Vanilla Bean, Licorice, Crimson and White. So much fun! Holler if you have any questions… I think between the video and the photos it’s pretty much self explanatory!

Memory Box…Mannequin in the rain?

May 9, 2013August 6, 2013 Pam Sparks24 Comments

Is this too silly to post? ok, Don’t answer that! lol I got this mannequin die without the dresses that go with it…so I’ve been puzzling over it. A couple days ago I got this idea to put it with the umbrella in the rain! So it just grew from there! lol (I know, the buttons are big but it just adds to the whimsy of it? a raincoat!)

I had fun making it into a front panel step card and bringing in the tree too! It screams Spring! I forgot to add dandelions though! hahaha

The rain die was really fun and easy to run through several times to make the raindrop background. Lots of Memory Box dies, stamp and card-stocks…Water, Key Lime Gingham, Licorice Gingham, Licorice Distressed Dots, Sage, Vanilla Bean and Cherry Blossom.

Hope this finds you laughing in the rain! (it’s raining here) Thanks for stopping by!

Oh Happy Day! Susie listed my card in the SCS Favorites thread this week! Thanks Susie!

Magnolia, Tilda’s Town, Anything Goes!

May 3, 2013May 8, 2013 Pam Sparks16 Comments

Anything Goes is the new challenge this week at Tilda’s Town Challenges! Easy week to ink up your Magnolia stamps and get creating! We’d love to have you link up!

I used Tilda with Kite… inked her with Ranger Archival black ink, then stamped her on Canson Montval, Cold Press, 140 lb. watercolor paper and colored her with Distress Ink Markers (watercolor style).

I used a NEW die from Memory Box, Cottage in the Woods (added an extra tree in the foreground), Magnolia, DooHickeys Heart Swirl and Clover and Flower dies. I use the omnigrid ruler to measure down for placing the focal image and the Perfect Layers Ruler for the 1/16th mat for Tilda. An EK Success scallop border punch, love the mini size of it… The birthday wishes circle is an old Inkadinkado stamp.

Click over to Tilda’s Town Challenges, HERE and enjoy the inspiration from the Design Team and enter the weekly challenge! We’d love to have you! Each week there is a random winner, chosen by Inlinkz, for a $10 gift certificate to Tilda’s Town.com!
