Memory Box Cottage Flower Circle Frame Card…

March 20, 2019March 21, 2019 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Hi everyone! Hope it’s a lovely day wherever you are! I’m using some new Memory Box/poppystamps products today.

I started by die cutting the NEW Cottage Flower Circle and Egg Basket Frame dies in white cardstock. (I forgot to emboss the Cottage Flower Circle Frame cut… oops, normally the leaves and flowers would have some vein lines in them from the die)

I only used the Square Frame portion of the Egg Basket Frame die and adhered it directly on the Bazzill Mint Julep A2 card base.

I die cut a solid circle from the Memory Box Circle Basics Die set and inked it with three Oxide inks, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean. Then spattered with water.

I mounted the white Cottage Flower Circle, with small pieces of mounting tape behind the flowers and leaves, to the Oxide circle, then adhered the circle directly over the Egg Basket Frame already on the card base.

I die cut the NEW poppystamps Doodle Happy Easter die three times, glued them together and then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I stamped the sentiment from the NEW Memory Box Typewriter Sentiments stamp set on white cardstock, heat embossed it with white embossing powder, inked it with the three oxide inks I mentioned above, then trimmed it out with the NEW My Sweet Petunia Cut Align ruler. I LOVE it! It works great!

The flower sprig by the sentiment is a die that’s included in the Cottage Flower Circle Frame Die. I used little pieces of foam mounting tape behind the flower and leaf but glued the ends of the stems directly to the card base.

For some reason, I really like these colors together! Here’s hoping for more Easter cards since Easter is late this year. Sometimes the holidays come to close together for me to keep up! lol

Memory Box Pinpoint Heart and Winged Heart Card….

January 28, 2019February 8, 2019 Pam Sparks20 Comments

Hi everyone! Coming to you from the freezing winds of Iowa today! Thankful to be inside and warm-ish!

I’m so happy with how this turned out…Clean and Simple but great colors! I started with the new Memory Box Pinpoint Heart die cut in a 4.25 x 5.5 in. white cardstock panel. I stamped the sentiment ‘sending love’ from the Memory Box So Many Things To Love stamp set in the MISTI using Black Archival Ink from Ranger.

The Memory Box Woodland Branch die is an older one but one that stands the test of time! A keeper and still available! Links below.

The Memory Box Winged Heart die is new…I die cut it in red and teal and inked it with a little Peacock Feathers Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool.

I inked the A2 size card base with a little Peacock Feathers also and spattered with white ink. It didn’t show up as good as I wanted so I came back in and put white gel pen over the dried white spatters.

I used mounting tape strips on the backside of the Pinpoint Heart panel to adhere it to the cardbase. Glue on both ends of the branch adhere it to the top. Mounting tape under the heart and wings to stick it to the cardbase.

2 Cards with poppystamps Ribbon Heart Sidekick Frame and Stencil…Traditional Colors and non Traditional Colors!

January 23, 2019January 29, 2019 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone! Thinking about Valentines Day yet? It’s crazy how early cardmakers think ahead! So much fun stuff to use! lol

Glimmer paste….so fun! I like this WAY better than glitter! I’m not wearing it! lol

I die cut the new poppystamps Ribbon Heart Sidekick Frame in white cardstock…then using the stencil that comes with the die, I did glimmer embossing paste on the hearts! I really like it! Fun texture and just kicks the CAS-ness of this card up a notch!

I heat embossed the sentiment from the new poppystamps Love and Friendship clear stamp set….I stamped using the MISTI tool with black pigment ink and detail black embossing powder. Just remember to use the anti static pouch on your cardstock first.

Any bow would work but I’ve had this skinny black gingham on the brain since I used it for the lamp post on a Christmas card. hehe

Next…the non traditional color card in a faux shaker!

Same new poppystamps Ribbon Heart Sidekick Frame and Stencil…die cut in white cardstock again and using the stencil, I ink blended on Distress Oxide inks in Worn Lipstick and a teeny bit of Barn Door.

The background is an ink blended piece using Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink pads and the mini ink blending tool.

A few water spots…then a bit of gold spattering.

I glued some Doodlebug sequins here and there to give the illusion of a shaker, a little bit of gold and white bakers twine for the bow and the new poppystamps Doodle Happy Valentines Day for the sentiment! It also comes with the apostrophe if you like it. I’ve read that it’s fine either way. I prefer it without! 😀 It’s a really cute sentiment, so whimsical!

Stampendous Ugly Sweater Contest…

December 5, 2018 Pam Sparks20 Comments

Hi everyone! You are probably wondering what in the world is she talking about now! haha Well…you know how much fun it is to take on a challenge! So here I am… but even though I’m supposed to have an ugly sweater here on this cool penguin… I sure wanted it to end up cute! 😀

I needed to stick with Stampendous products so that was a challenge too! The ornaments around it’s neck are from a Christmas tree set (looks like it’s discontinued). I colored the ornaments with Copics and drew the snowflakes on with a white gel pen.

So here’s the details…the gals have been posting since November 25th and continuing through December 8th.

There’s a prize for 3 commenters chosen from the designer’s blogs and Stampendous’ blog HERE. The winning designer wins a prize too. I hope I win!!! lol

So I’d love it if you’d vote for my penguin between December 9 – 11. 😀 (shamelessly recruiting) lol

Back to the card… I heat embossed the sentiment, snowflakes and snow it’s standing on with white embossing powder. I inked the sky with Distress Oxide inks, Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire and the ink blending tool. Did the water droplet thing and glued on some sequins. It’s an A2 size card.

All I can say is, I’d hate to be walking around with ornaments around my neck! haha

Hope I made you smile with my ugly sweater and you enjoy checking out the other gal’s ugly sweaters! Thanks for stopping by! 😀
