Hello Bluebird Fishin’ Hole Shadowbox Card…

August 17, 2021October 7, 2021 Pam Sparks16 Comments

Meet me at the fishin’ hole! It’s a beautiful day! lol Here’s the card I made for our grandson Corrin who just turned 12! He loves to fish with Grandpa!

I saved this idea from Instagram/designs by mommajean when I saw it last year. So much fun! I made the video after I gave it to Corrin and he showed me that it looked like the fish were swimming when you bend it back and forth! ❤

I didn’t have a shadowbox die set that would work for what I wanted to do so I had to make this up as I went. No instructions, just some Math! lol

Stamps and dies from Hello Bluebird, Memory Box and Lawn Fawn. I’ll link below.

I stamped, die cut the images and colored with Copic Sketch markers. Since alcohol marker ink saturates through to the back side, I die cut a piece of white cardstock to glue behind the colored images.

Bushes and grass dies in the background from Hello Bluebird…

I took a lot of pictures!

Memory Box dies for the greens and coral in the water…

I used a piece of acetate to cover the opening…

Distress Oxide inks for the blues and sandy shore…

Corrin really liked it and the money in the envelope too! lol

Thank you for stopping by! ttul

Memory Box Floral Chain Card…

August 12, 2021 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m seeing so many posts with flowers these days! It was fun to die cut this NEW die from Memory Box, Floral Chain, in watercolor paper and paint it up!

I used the small tropical palette from Prima to paint the flowers and butterfly.

I used a lavender cardbase, then a black A2 size panel, poppystamps Lattice Plate cut in Neenah 110# Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, poppystamps Orchard Leaves die cut in watercolor paper and colored with the same palette and Memory Box Glade Butterfly die cut in watercolor paper and colored with the same palette.

Dewdrop Fairy Sugar glitter glue on the flower centers and butterfly wings.

On the inside I stamped this sentiment from Memory Box Joyful Moments clear stamp set with Ranger Archival Black ink.

On the front I used one of the banners from the new Memory Box Banner Sentiment Trio die set. I stamped the Happy Birthday from the new Memory Box Deep Blue Ocean clear stamp set and Ranger Archival Black ink.

This card screams Summer! I hope the recipient will enjoy it!

Thank you for visiting my blog today… happy almost weekend to you!

Memory Box Flowering Cactus Slimline Card…

August 4, 2021 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! I had some fun coloring yesterday. Right now there’s a 30 day coloring challenge going on and I’m so glad I had this to color!

I stamped the NEW Memory Box Flowering Cactus in the MISTI with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, die cut it and colored it with these copics…

I stamped and die cut the sentiments from the Signature Greetings sets. I cut just the die a couple more time so I could glue them together to get some lift. Easy gluing when the dies are like this!

I die cut the largest and next largest of the Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Slimline dies in TE Oreo cardstock and Neenah 110# white cardstock and layered everything up.

I used mounting foam tape behind the cactus to adhere it to the panels.

Succulents are so fun and popular right now! Maybe sometime I’ll get to see then in the desert!

Thank you for stopping by! ttul!

poppystamps Geometric Deco Plate Card and Tag…

August 2, 2021August 2, 2021 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! A week can sure go by fast when you have company….even when you have good intentions to get a blog post in!

Today I’m sharing a card and tag using poppystamps new Geometric Deco Plate and Art Deco Birthday Greetings clear stamp set!

Need to whip up a card in a hurry? poppystamps and Memory Box to the rescue!

I needed a piece of copy paper to shim this plate die…angle it into the machine so you’re not bumping over a straight line!

I embossed the light green card panel underneath the cut with the same die to give it a little dimension… that little ‘extra’. You don’t want the sandwich too tight though, the paper will crack. I used the debossed side this time.

Memory Box Fresh Aqua 6×6 cardstock pad! I love that the papers are already color coordinated for me!

Thanks for stopping by today! I’m off to help Amanda put up peaches this afternoon. We’ve been making yummy peach cobbler…. a great recipe HERE! My mom used to make this one with rhubarb. It says use a 9×9 pan but we use 9×13.

Below are links to what I used! All the stores are getting in new stuff! Cindy is back from vacation and shipping @ starlitstudio.net. SSS has a $5 off code good through 8/15 YUM521. Scrapbook.com always has specials!

ttul!

Memory Box Fantasy, Imperial, Stone Keep Castle Collage Dies Card…

July 23, 2021July 22, 2021 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! More new dies from Memory Box! Check out these new dies to make a magical card for that special someone! I can see these being used for so many occasions and for both children and adults!

There are three new collage dies, top one is Fantasy Castle Collage, middle one is Imperial Castle Collage and bottom one is Stone Keep Castle Collage. Fun names! I used 3 shades of gray from the Memory Box Earth Neutral Collection 6×6 cardstock pad.

I layered them on an A2 size card. I wanted a little separation but not a lot so I could stick it in the mail. So I took a piece of chipboard and put score-tape on both sides and made my own mounting strips but they aren’t foam or thick. It just gives a little bit of lift. I really like how it looks IRL.

The peachy pink colors are from the Memory Box Berry Red Collection 6×6 cardstock pad.

I die cut the background pink color with the Memory Box Pinpoint Burst Plate die.

The sentiment is from the new Memory Box Majestic Achievements stamps and die set. I stamped it on the peachy pink color and trimmed it and layered it on the white die cut. You wouldn’t need to do this but I did a lousy job stamping it on the die cut piece so I cut it out! lol Super cute castle stamp, sentiments and banners.

Maybe you can see the dimension a little bit better in this picture.

and here’s the inside….I used the castle stamp and one of the sentiments in the stamp set. Super cute! Still room to sign!

Thank you for stopping by today! Happy Summer weekend to you!
