poppystamps Sweet Nordic Snowman Snowglobe Easel Card…

October 6, 2023 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone! I had fun making this cute, easy easel snowglobe card. Click/tap on the bottom right corner to size it to your device.

Partial diecut a circle in a regular A2 size cardbase and you’re ready to add the snowglobe!

I die cut the images, NEW Sweet Nordic Snowman and NEW Lavish Merry Christmas, in white cardstock and colored with Copic Sketch markers.

A little Tumbled Glass Oxide ink in the sky and a few little snowflakes from the NEW Shining Star stamp set stamped in the same ink except I stamped off first before stamping them on the card.

The NEW Simple Rings circle frame is cut from Memory Box woodgrain cardstock and the NEW Snowglobe Base is cut from old Bazzill cardstock.

Here’s a bunch of pictures. So cute!

Peace on Earth is from the NEW Christmas Banners stamp set. Dies for cutting them out too!

It will lay flat or stand like a regular A2 size card also.

I hope this cutie made you smile! She was easy to put together and I love this treeline background die! It’s part of the NEW Whittle Field and Trees! Super neat die set!

Have a great weekend! I’m hoping to get some apples processed and bread made and cards made and and and! haha

Memory Box Happy Fall Gypsy Oak Leaves Card…

September 21, 2023September 22, 2023 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Happy Fall y’all! I’m back today with some more NEW Memory Box products! Look at this neat embossing folder! It’s called Vintage Tray and comes with a cutting die that cuts a frame.

I die cut the embossing folder in white cardstock and swiped the Gathered Twigs Distress ink pad over the top of it a bunch of times until I liked the coverage.

I die cut the NEW Gypsy Oak Leaves dies and NEW Happy Fall Posh Script dies in white Neenah also and inked them with Distress Oxide inks and ink blending brushes. Fossilized Amber, Carved Pumpkin, Peeled Paint and Seedless Preserves are the colors I used. On the outline die cuts I inked with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink.

I die cut a couple extra of the leaves and sentiments to layer them up for height on the card.

I stamped the words from the Harvest Love and Kindness Stamp set on a TE Candy Corn cardstock strip in the MISTI. I hope this set is still available. I’ll link below if it is.

I mounted the A2 size panel to an A2 size Seedless Preserves color cardbase.

I wasn’t sure I liked it while I was making it but when I finally landed on a design with my pieces I really like it! It seems like I’m like that a lot in my cardmaking! ugh! I just keep going and hope for the best! hohohaha Wish I could show it to you IRL!

Memory Box Christmas 2023 Release – Glorious Poinsettia Card

September 19, 2023September 19, 2023 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m getting a poinsettia card posted before you can buy them in the stores! I always look forward to them showing up for sale! The seas of poinsettias when you walk in the door!

I went with pink for this BRAND NEW Glorious Poinsettia! I used Distress Oxide Inks, Worn Lipstick, Lumberjack Plaid, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss. I absolutely love coloring white cardstock with inks and blending tools or brushes. I die cut and used Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock this time.

I used Worn Lipstick on the tips of the leaves and Lumberjack Plaid from the centers out.

Oh, I used Fossilized Amber for the centers. I got a little green on the center that’s connected to the stem but I liked it that way!

I used the New Merry Christmas Charmed Script Sentiment die. I used it this way but you’ll notice on Dave’s card HERE page 43 in the Memory Box idea book that you can use it another way also! I love having more than one option!

I used the Rectangle Double Border Hot Foil Plate and A2 Rectangle Frames Die set to make the panel the poinsettia is mounted on.

I used my fave thin mounting tape, linked below to stick the panel to the cardbase.

Linking to some challenges…

Memory Box Gracious Floral Just For You Card…

June 29, 2023 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! NEW from Memory Box! A beautiful stamp set with coordinating dies AND stencils for coloring in!

Next card I’m going to try the stencils with the 3D embossing folder that is the same floral image. You can also stamp the image, die cut it and then emboss it in the 3D folder!

I used inking brushes and distress oxide inks to color. Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral for the pink flower.

The purple brush without inking for the purple flowers, then Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet.

The small flowers I used my Peacock Feathers brush without reinking it for the light color, then Peacock Feathers inking up the brush.

For the leaves I used my green brush without inking and then used Peeled Paint ink.

I die cut it after I colored it.

I stamped Just for you in the MISTI and die cut it with the included coordinating die. Three layers glued together.

I used poppystamps Pinpoint Leaf Plate die for the background pink background panel, adhered to a white cardbase.

Simple card, fun to make and I love the sentiments in this set!

Can you believe it’s the end of June and almost time for another holiday! Boom! Boom!

Thank you for stopping by!

Here’s what I used to make this card AND some REALLY EXCITING NEWS! Starlitstudio is getting a new website/shop and it will be up the first week of July! It will be the same website address/URL, just a new shop. It’s gonna be awesome!

Spellbinders June 3D Embossing Folder Club of the Month Card…

June 22, 2023 Pam Sparks4 Comments

It’s me again! lol Embossing folders are so much fun! For this one I inked the smooth side with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink, cover it well or like me, I did it three times. It might shift a little, kinda shows in my photos but in real life you don’t see it as much. I didn’t even notice it until after I took pictures!

After embossing I brushed over it with Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink, then some gold rub on stuff then some Peacock Feathers and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink! It was white cardstock to begin with!

I used one of the sentiments from the April Large Die Set of the Month… they kinda look like cookies! lol

Check out all the Spellbinders Club sets of the Month HERE! Holler if you have any questions!
