Memory Box Sleigh Horse Frame – Two More Cards…

October 31, 2018November 19, 2018 Pam Sparks23 Comments

(click on the photos to see them larger)

I’m back today to share the other two cards I made with the NEW Memory Box Sleigh Horse Frame die! I had to make another Frame Gatefold card… I like these so much! Easy to make too.

Start with a 4 ¼ inch by 8 ½ inch piece of cardstock. Score at 2 ⅛ inch in from both ends.

Here it is standing open. I like to die cut two of the square frames, place one on the inside and one on the front and match up the parts that stick out past the left fold. You can see it in the next picture.

On the inside I stamped a sentiment from the NEW poppystamps Christmas Time stamp set.

I’m using Bazzill Card Shoppe cardstock… I’ll link below.

I used a Pinpoint Circle Layers die to back the front circle panel… you can kind of see it on the right in the above photo.

The pretty word die cut on the front is the NEW Memory Box Peace Jotted Script die. I just love the handlettered look of it!

So frosty looking with Ranger Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter on it. I just put glue on the front, rubbed it around with my finger and sprinkled on the glitter then tapped it off.

This picture shows you what I die cut out of which cardstock color. The frame on the front contrasts to the card base but I wanted the inside frame to match the inside this time, so I die cut the inside frame to match the card base.

I colored the sleigh and horse with a black Copic Sketch Marker.

Here’s a flat photo…it’s hard to keep it completely flat to photograph!

The next card is A2 size and it is Navy cardstock, not black! Navy always looks black to me in pictures. ugh. (and only two pictures) 😀

I did a Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide background on a circle cut from the Basic Circle die set with a punched circle mask on it for the moon. I spattered it with water… it looked terrible. Now I know how to make a circle look like the moon though! haha Since it was headed for the trash can, I sprayed it with white spray and let it dry to see if I had to start over or not. When it dried, I decided to go ahead and use it. It’s better IRL! 😀

Hero Arts has a new white watercolor ink that Cindy is carrying in the store, Starlitstudio.net I will link to it below, she says it’s great for spattering! Mine will be here Friday! YAY!

I cut small strips of mounting tape and put them here and there around the back side of the circle frame, mounted it to the ink blended background circle die cut, glued the square frame to the card base, glued the circle to the card base, die cut the snowflake from the New Pinpoint Snowflake Circle Frame and glued it on, stamped a strip of white cardstock with a sentiment from the NEW Typewriter Holiday Sentiments stamp set, applied mounting tape to both ends and stuck it on! I love the white contrast with the dark blue!

poppystamps Seed Outline Snowflake and Seed Snowflake Collage Cards…

October 24, 2018November 19, 2018 Pam Sparks21 Comments

Hi everyone! Bringing some faux snow your way today! White bits everywhere these days! lol

My first card I used both the NEW poppystamps Seed Snowflake dies…the outline is the big white flake…I cut and glued three together…

Timesaver Tip: I stacked the 3 together first, without glue, and poked the pieces out, all three at the same time!

Then I die cut the Seed Snowflake Collage die in a 110# Solar White card front panel and inked it with Tumbled Glass Oxide in the center and Evergreen Bough Oxide everywhere else. I love this combo!

I took this picture before assembling because I thought it’d help you see what I inked and where.

The card base is Tumbled Glass Oxide.

Here’s the card assembled…

ok – I finished it and thought, I should spray this with some Frost spray… I like the look of it when the card is in my hand but it sure was hard to get a picture of it! I spent 3 hours yesterday taking and retaking. Now that’s dedication or just stupid. sigh. So moral of the story, don’t spray it if you want to take pictures of it Pam. haha

I love this gorgeous snowflake die. I saw it made up as an ornament. I want to do that.

So I had so much fun inking I decided to make a CAS, clean and simple card. Nothing is clean and simple when I do it! hahahahaha

I mean, I can’t even decide what sentiment to use and what color to stamp the sentiment without deliberating for 30 minutes! lol I get today’s whiny baby award! lol

‘nother lesson…don’t spatter right after you’ve done water drops. The spatters hit the water drops and well, they spread! Oh well, I used it anyway…see…nothing’s simple! Go ahead and laugh cuz I am!

I do love Tumbled Glass Oxide…this is on 110# Solar White too. The sentiment from the NEW poppystamps Art Deco Celebrate Christmas stamp set stamped in the same Tumbled Glass Oxide ink. I wasn’t sure how it would stamp a sentiment but I am really happy with it. I did use the MISTI to stamp it.

I colored the snowflake with a Spectrum Noir Clear glitter pen. I really like how that made it sparkle! I tried to capture it…

Linking my card to some challenges…

My last card was inspired by the word ‘collage’ in the title of the Seed Snowflake Collage die…

I just got the NEW Memory Box That’s Acute stamp and die sets so I had to play! First I had to try it in a wreath building way and yes the stamp set works for that!

I soon decided I needed trees to go with the Seed Snowflake Collage panel that I’d inked up with Lucky Clover Oxide and Cracked Pistachio Oxide on 110# Solar White.

I already had the ‘peace’ word stamped and layered/glued up, since I didn’t use it on the first card, I loved it here! It’s from the NEW Memory Box Bold Christmas Greetings stamp and die sets. I love that it has dies to match! Oh so pretty! I love all the scripty words!

Then I decided it needed glitter paper behind and a glitter frame…use the piece from cutting the frame behind the collage.

After stamping and layering the trees where I wanted them…it just needed a bit of something! YES! a small snowflake hit the spot.

This is my week so far! It’s been really nice and I haven’t even been out to enjoy it…maybe today…I hear some stuff calling my name though! I need a stamp store to walk to! lol

Memory Box Grand Maple Frame Card…

October 19, 2018November 19, 2018 Pam Sparks22 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m sneaking in a Fall card today! Last Friday our area stamp club had a card party and this is the card I had the gals make. I have the instructions all typed up if you want to email me, I can email them to you. It was a super fun day…there were 12 of us. I still need to finish a couple of the cards!

This really isn’t complicated to make at all, you just have to remember to put the glue in the right places! Ask me how I know! lol

The NEW Memory Box Grand Maple Frame die is gorgeous! I love how it made up in this Circle Gatefold Type card…kind of interactive…

I die cut the center leaf/circle die in 110# Neenah Solar White cardstock and blended on 3 Distress Oxide ink pad colors, Forest Moss, Ripe Persimmon and Wild Honey. I tried using watercolor paper for this but the spatters seemed to spread too much on it so I went back to regular cardstock. The spatters are a drop of Gathered Twigs regular Distress ink mixed with a few drops of water and spattered on with a paintbrush.

Adhere the leaf/circle to a matching size Circle Basics die cut from coordinating green cardstock.

The card base is a 4 ¼ in. x 8 ½ in., scored at 2 ⅛ in. in from the length ends. Fold on the scores and crease well.

Cut two of the Frame die and sandwich them in the left ‘gate’ of the card with liquid glue.

Adhere the finished leaf/circle to the right ‘gate’ of the card.

On the inside I stamped two sentiment stamps from the poppystamps Autumn Fairies stamp set using Ranger Archival Black ink and the MISTI stamping tool.

This card brought back memories. Remember years ago when Magenta came out with all the circle and square frame stamps? We were head over heels for them! There were several different folds we did with those stamps and this fold was one. Such a fun presentation!

Memory Box Pine Wreath and Snowberry Sprigs Card, Meadowtree Frame and Countryside Fence Frame Flip Card…

September 18, 2018September 29, 2018 Pam Sparks23 Comments

Hi everyone! I meant to get cards posted on Saturday and here it is Tuesday already! I’m just going to put these two in one post.

I saw the ‘wreath’ challenge at CAS Christmas Card Challenge and had to play along!

and my card was TOP PICK! yay! Thank you Ladies!

I die cut one of the Memory Box Stitched Square Layers dies in a 4.25 x 5.5 inch panel of Neenah Solar White 110# cardstock, then embossed the next larger square die by running it through the Big Shot with the tan embossing mat (link below). I use the multi purpose platform and take away the first layer to do the embossing.

I colored a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock with 3 different green Copic Sketch markers and then die cut the NEW Pine Wreath die (4 branches) on each color. Then I die cut one of the NEW Snowberry Sprigs die in Solar White and colored the berries red and the stem brown with Copic Sketch markers too.

Use a 1.6 inch circle frame from the Memory Box Stitched Circles dies for the wreath base, then adhere the pine branches onto the base.

Then I cut the NEW Snowberry Sprig into little sprigs and just glued them in, here and there very randomly. Fun! Christmas is a time for greens and berries for sure! Glad Tidings is from the NEW Typewriter Holiday Sentiments stamp set.

The Merry Christmas Challenge – anything Christmas

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – pop it up (3d mounting tape)

The swap for stamp club Friday was a card with a different fold… so I made this next card at the last minute! The pictures aren’t the greatest cuz, last minute loo loo was hurrying!

Here’s the front… I layered up the NEW Meadowtree Frame with the Horse Sleigh Landscape die…cut both in Solar White 110# cardstock and ink blended the sky with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and spattered on some white ink. I colored the horse and sleigh with a Copic Sketch black marker trimmed it to fit and mounted it to the scene.

When you pull both sides, it flips the square. I used a Sizzix die to cut the flip part of the card it’s an older one that’s not available anymore #657591. It’s really easy to make this fold yourself though. I’ve done it before. Holler if you want me to find a tutorial for it or draw up the measurements for you. I need to make another one and make a video of it flipping! There is also a new thin die from Sizzix. I’ll link up to it below and the square looks like it’s * close to the same size.

I used the NEW Countryside Fence Frame die and the NEW Meadowtree Frame on the flip side. I ink blended the sky with Chipped Sapphire Regular Distress ink and white ink splatters.

The Seasons Greetings sentiment is from the NEW Be Jolly stamp set and let it snow is from the NEW Snow Much Fun stamp set.
