CAS – Printworks Two Lives…One Beautiful Future

October 18, 2012October 19, 2012 Pam Sparks29 Comments

Today I have a card for the CAS-ual Friday Challenge blog… have a heart on it and Charisma Cardz Challenge blog…Clean and Simple! When I saw these ‘potty people’, I just had to have them! I want to call them ‘restroom’ people though… that’s how straight laced I am! lol But why do we call bathrooms, restrooms? No thank you, I’ll rest somewhere else! lol I love how they worked out for this wedding card! The teeny heart came from the Memory Box Cherish Border die.

and the inside… I emailed Nicole to get the link for the ‘Long Life’ stamp…

I love Printworks scripture stamps… ok… I love all of Printworks stamps! Love Annette’s handwritten sentiments… so fun, when so much is computer generated anymore.

Thanks for looking! I’ll be back tomorrow with my card for Tilda’s Town Challenges!

Magnolia, Tilda’s Town Challenge…

September 28, 2012January 8, 2013 Pam Sparks32 Comments

Click over to Tilda’s Town Challenges and choose your passion this week, CAS (clean and not so simple for me) or Fussy and Fancy. My card is CAS although I think when you color it’s hard to say it’s simple!

I stamped Tilda with Corn on PTI select white card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers. Her hair is E50, E31, E55 and E37. Her shirt is YG0’s and her skirt is YR0’s and YR12.

I used some pattern paper from Simple Stories and SU card-stock for the card base. The sentiment is from a company, long out of business… sorry about that.

The greenery on the bottom right is the Memory Box Serafina Heart die that I trimmed to work in the corner. It’s a heart shaped floral die… kinda fun how it matched the paper!

Before I go fix supper, I wanted to let you know that Scrapping Center is celebrating with a sale!

SSPC #5 – Color challenge… use blue, tan and yellow with your pixie/sprite/fairy stamp! I used Mimi and Friend from Penny Black, colored with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. Memory Box Honeyblossom die and AmyR Stamps Oh So Beachy Sentiment set. October Afternoon pattern paper and a SU stamp to go around the edge of the image. I think the name of the set is Tiny tags. I went with kraft for the “tan” in the color scheme. Layers are all cut with the Perfect Layers Tools… even the card base. I scored and folded an 8.5 x 11 piece of kraft card-stock in half…then I held my ruler on the fold at 1/4 in. and placed the image rectangle right up to it, stuck it down… then used the 1/4 in. Perfect Layers Tool to cut the sides and bottom at 1/4 in. for perfect spacing! love these tools!

On the Lake…

June 18, 2012March 18, 2014 Pam Sparks31 Comments

I told you I had more boats coming! hehe I’ve had this stamp for awhile, love the simplicity of it but then I wasn’t so sure about how to color it! The water isn’t really this green IRL… figures… ugh! Here’s the stamp info… Memory Box F1770 On the Lake.

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

As soon as I saw this last Memory Box die release I jumped right over to order! I had to have this Honeyblossom Sprig! I glued three cuts of green together then cut one in white and cut out the flowers and one in yellow and just used the centers. I did shape the back side of the white flowers a little with my McGill Stylus set on a mouse pad.

The woodgrain background is an older stamp from Hero Arts (SS1000), stamped and edged with Walnut Stain Distress ink… it’s not big enough to cover the whole card so I stamp it four times… I’ve done this several times with cards that I’ve posted. Love the random look of it.

The postal frame is a Spellbinders Nestabilities die. The mat for the focal image is cut with the Perfect Layers 1/16th in. layer tool… the best investment I ever made for card making!

The postal cancellation and sentiment are from CC Designs and stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink. It stamps the sharpest and cleanest image for sentiments of any ink out there… so worth the money! Bummer I forgot to take a picture of the inside. I layered white on green to the kraft card with the Perfect Layers tools. Then stamped two more sentiments from the same CC Designs All About Dad sentiment set. Yes, I used my other tool I can’t stamp with out! My Stamp a ma jig!

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

I stamped “On the Lake” with Clearsnap Archival Wicked Black ink and watercolored it with Ranger Distress markers… I really do love them! They color and blend so nicely on the Canson Manga paper I’ve linked to below. I appreciate it so much when you make your purchases through my links!!! I’m encouraged to keep working and sharing for sure! Thank YOU!
