Simon Says Stamp Hey Bestie Release…

January 8, 2020January 10, 2020 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Busy week here on the blog and it’s just working out that I’m finally getting to wish you a Happy New Year! Another year for happy cardmaking and papercrafting!

It’s NEW release time of the month at Simon Says Stamp. I received this NEW background stamp called Etched Snowflake to show and tell!

I stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. Did some Oxide inking/blending/spattering over the top, die cut a snowflake in glitter paper, silver embossed a sentiment… just enough to combine the subtle with some pizzazz! Oh, I did give it a couple spritzes of Sparkle spray.

It was fun just playing around and using different colors than I would normally pick. This card ended up 5 ¼ inches square.

Thank you for stopping by yet another day this week! ❤

Here’s what I used to make this card…and here’s a code to use at SSS when you shop. There’s also a code to get a free die with a $50 order… use BFF489!

Does she make you smile? Happy Heart Day papercrafting friends! When I saw this new heart die from the NEW Hearts Confetti Cuts, I knew I had to use it like it was paper dolls! So cute!

Memory Box Simple Poinsettia Frame Card and Jolly Snowflake Trio and Snowflake Marquee Card…

October 8, 2019October 8, 2019 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! I know, I know… yes this one is a napkin technique card (see the technique here) but the card below is not! I don’t have another one in the works! lol I do love it so much though!

I’ll link up the dies I used below instead of typing it all out here…

I think this one has a retro feel to it. Super festive! This Bazzill Mint Julep cardstock is just so fun and unusual to me.

So here’s an oxide background tall card, it fits in a standard #10 business size envelope. You can buy these that look nice like stationery too… they don’t have to be the kind that look like you’d send a bill or payment in. lol

I inlaid these die cuts in the tall card panel. I use scor-tape on the back to hold the die cuts in place.

I tried to capture the sparkle of the glitter cardstock but you know how it is, so much better IRL even with a good camera! Course there’s the operator behind the camera. haha

I heat embossed the sentiments on black cardstock with white powder.

The background is Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire and a little Black Soot on the edges.

It’s been cooler here lately…I was beginning to wonder! 😀

Stay tuned! Something GREAT is coming our way REAL SOON!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Lawn Fawn Beam Me Up (aliens) Slider Birthday Card…

August 12, 2019August 12, 2019 Pam Sparks16 Comments

Hi everyone! I have a cute card for you today! This alien has landed at the farm and demands cake! This card was for our grandson Cedryk’s 7th birthday. He loved it!

Pull the tab at the top up and the cake rises into the space ship! I have a little video showing how it goes. If you pull the tab out, it’s no problem, just stick it back in and the cake will stick to it again. The cake piece comes off the card. Really cute and so fun!

On You Tube HERE…

I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. I inked the grass in the front with Distress oxide inks.

The characters are from the Lawn Fawn Beam Me Up stamps and die set. The farm background is from a clear set by Miss Ink Stamps. I’ll link them up below…

A weird angle to see that I glued the piece of die cut vellum to the bottom of the spaceship.

A little closer to see the cake behind the vellum…

Have you ever seen cuter aliens? haha They seem to like birthday parties! lol And they bring presents! Gotta love that! haha

The inspiration for the slider is from a video I saw on Simon Says Stamp blog HERE.

I stamped the sentiments on black cardstock with Versamark ink and embossed them with Lawn Fawn White embossing powder. I used the MISTI Cut Align Ruler to cut the strips. So far I like it a lot!

Glue on the googly eyes and we’re ready to land!

Linking up to some challenges…

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 58 – Interactive

Happy Little Stampers August Challenge – anything goes with dies

Penny Black and More – boys and men

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – add a die cut

Thanks for stopping by and hope this made you smile! Happy cardmaking Monday to you!

Memory Box Antique Corner Rose Label and Antique Leaf Label Thank You Card…

May 30, 2019May 30, 2019 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi eveyone! Are you enjoying the NEW Memory Box release this time? So many fun flower dies! yay!

Today I die cut everything in white and colored the pieces with Copic Sketch Markers. The flower pieces from the Antique Corner Rose Label die are colored with R81, 83 and the center dots on the two largest with R85. The leaves on both the Antique Corner Rose and Antique Leaf Label die are colored with G24.

I pieced the dies together with the right side face down so I could put mounting tape over the back sides. Small pieces…I always check to make sure there isn’t any hanging over and if there is, I trim from the front and cut the excess at a slant so it doesn’t show. On this one, I left the pieces hanging over on purpose so they’d catch the frames, then trimmed them all… works great!

I used the medium size of the new Pinpoint Butterfly Trio and left it white!

I stamped thank you and terrific from the new Big and Little Words clear stamp set on the label using the MISTI with Ranger Archival black ink.

I ink blended a background with Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers ink. I started out with the mini ink blending tool but then changed to the make up brush oval type brush to get the edges feathered out better.

Spattered it with water, dried it with the heat tool, spattered on some Hero Arts White Watercolor paint, then some black paint, drying in-between colors.

I’m really happy with it and will close with telling you all thank you for being so terrific! Cardmakers are the best!

It’s a sunshiny day here! A rare thing this Spring. Maybe I can get out for a walk! Take care and thanks for stopping by!

SSS ‘Celebrate You Release’ Filigree Message Circle Die with MB Flower Dies…

May 15, 2019May 16, 2019 Pam Sparks12 Comments

It’s time for a NEW release from Simon Says Stamp! They sent me their new Filigree Message Circle die to play with. Kinda fitting since it was designed by Memory Box.

So I set to work and used a couple Memory Box flower dies too!

I used sentiments from the SSS last release, Tiny Words Encouragement clear stamp set. Links below…

I wanted to embellish the circle so I diecut the NEW Memory Box Daisy Silhouette die in white and colored with Copic Sketch markers.

YG17 Matches Taylored Expressions Peapod cardstock perfectly! I’ll link below.

Here’s a top view because there is dimension to the card! 😀

The top layer is Taylored Expressions Toffee cardstock.

A close up…I think this picture captures the sweetness of the card the best! 😀

Next photo, the cards together…a variety of things you can do with this die. Use your other circle dies to frame it etc. My white die cut panel is popped up to the card base with foam mounting tape and the kraft die cut panel is adhered directly to the card base.

I have this Lawn Fawn Inside Out Circle die set and love how it framed this Filigree Message Circle die.

I wanted to embellish with flowers again and liked the idea of tulips cuz it’s May and tulips are big in the area we live.

This is the Memory Box Springtime Tulips die. I clipped out the tulips and used them without the circle they come with.

A top view… I ink blended the flower parts that come with the die to back the tulips, with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink and the mini ink blending tool.

I ink blended the card base with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink.

The leaves are inked with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink.

Sweet, feminine cards that anyone would enjoy receiving. YAY!

Now for a bit of shopping info too… this is like an after Mother’s Day present to oneself! Gotta love that!

Memory Box NEW Brilliant Sunflower Die Cards…

May 9, 2019May 9, 2019 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! Here’s what I’ve been doing so far this week. The new dies from Memory Box arrived and I got busy!

I’ve always liked sunflowers and holly hocks. I suppose because they look free spirited! haha

For this card, I used the NEW Brilliant Sunflower and added the square frame from the Splendid Rose Frame from this year’s earlier release. I LOVE how these mix and match!

I made a short video of how I emboss the detail in the sunflower head…watch it here or on You Tube.

I really like how embossing deepens the detail.

I inked edges with a little Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and the mini round ink blending tools.

I colored the center of the embossed yellow piece with color pencil and added white dots with a white gel pen.

Some quick die piecing in the corners….heat embossed sentiment is from the NEW Memory Box Big and Little Words clear stamp set. It’s made to coordinate with some of the other new dies too so you’ll be seeing it used a lot! yay!

Stamped with Versamark, in the MISTI stamping tool.

You brighten my day! It’s true!

I used the NEW Misti Cut Align tool to cut the sentiment strip… I REALLY like having that tool! Tools are everything!

Some enamel dots…

So then, cuz I had experimented and cut so many sunflowers in different colors, I decided to use the white cut!

I dry embossed the yellow flower head that’s behind the white outline die… I love how it looks, it just gives it a little roundness. I glue it just in the center so the petals can kinda look free-ish.

A Distress Oxide background in Fossilized Amber and Peeled Paint using the cheap make up brushes to blend it on the card-base. I’ll link to the ones the stamp company is selling but I’m using the cheap ones and love them!

A happy, cute card! 😀 We all need a little sunshine in-between rains these days!

The sentiment is from the same NEW set as above… I am loving this set! I had fun making these two cards!

Both cards are 4 ½ inches square. You could mail this size in an A6 envelope or a 5 inch square one.
