Memory Box Cheery Flower Stems and Pinpoint Heart Wedding Card…

July 7, 2025 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Our oldest granddaughter got married in May and this is the card I made for her. I copied a card I made several years ago!

I die cut the Memory Box Pinpoint Heart die in an A2 size white cardstock panel. I added a piece of pattern paper behind it. It was just a random piece that a friend had given me!

I die cut the Memory Box Cheery Flower Stems in solid black cardstock and added a couple enamel dots to the centers.

The sentiment is from the Memory Box Peony Garden Wreath stamp set.

The die cut hearts are from a Paper Smooches die set.

It was a fabulous, beautiful wedding. Lots of memories!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! It’s been a crazy and busy Summer so far. The humidity in Iowa right now is frightful! ugh.

Take care and keep making cards! I’m trying to get back in the groove! lol

My Favorite Things ‘Right on Track’ Birthday Card…

February 6, 2025February 6, 2025 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! One of our granddaughters LOVES vinyl, I still call them records, but when I saw this set I HAD to have it! I LOVE how it turned out!

These cute critters are from My Favorite Things!

I stamped them in the MISTI with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers. A little white gel pen added after coloring. What a happy musical trio!

My pictures turned out good so there’s five of them! lol

I used an older Memory Box die, Party Music 98757 for the background but I’m linking you to the new die.

The sentiment stamps I used are from Paper Smooches which is closed now but I did see some pages of PS stamps on ebay. The name of the set is Birthday Sampler.

I just used a A2 white cardbase and on the inside I glued an extra record that I had colored.

A clean and simple card but good colorbook therapy!

I’m linking my card to some challenges…

The Neglected Stuff Challenge – this is their kick off…so fun! I’m excited about this challenge! (my neglected stuff – the party music die and sentiment stamp set)

Colorful Rainbow cards to share today…

September 12, 2017September 13, 2017 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! Two clean and simple cards I made for stamp club last Friday. Annette had the program and she had rainbow for the theme. These are the two cards I made…one to swap and one for Annette’s birthday card.

I used the poppystamps paintbrush die, colored with Copic Sketch Markers, a Taylored Expressions brush rubber stamp, You color my world is from a new poppystamps stamp set, inked with Versafine Black Onyx ink and stamped with the MISTI. I stamped the brush stamp with Regular Distress Inks. I centered the stamp on the lid of the MISTI and moved the card to stamp the different colors. I did stamp each color two and three times to get the bold color.

Both cards are A2 top folding card bases, almost one layer!

The bike is a new Spellbinders die cut in heavy white card-stock…run it through with the tan mat a second time so it embosses nicely.

The street and the stitched rectangle are from a MFT blueprints die set, the butterflies are an old Marvy punch…sorry I didn’t have time to look for a die but I’ll see if I can find something similar to link to and the sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

Thanks for stopping by on this fine Tuesday! I’ll be back soon with more of you know what! lol Have a creative, colorful week!

Paper Smooches Best Buds Flower card…

June 14, 2017June 15, 2017 Pam Sparks18 Comments

Here’s that second card I had the gals make at our stamp club party Friday. I colored this one at home though with Distress Ink refills.

At the party, I had the gals use Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils and the blue waterbrush filled with water from this set HERE. These waterbrushes are really cheap but they hold up really well. I buy them for the kids and end up using them myself! lol

The photo below is a close up of the watercolor pencil one.

Very fun to color…love this sweet image from Paper Smooches Best Buds stamp set HERE or HERE. I don’t own the dies so I cut it with the My Favorite Things Inside and Out Rounded Rectangles Stax. If you want the dies to match, they are HERE.

The polka dot border is from the Geo-Graphic stamp set and the thanks sentiment is from the Sentiment Sampler stamp set HERE and HERE.

I stamped with Taylored Expressions Oreo Black ink and used Crafter’s Companion Watercolor paper.
