poppystamps and Memory Box Flower Field Card…

April 28, 2022 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Thinking ahead a little for some Mother’s Day inspiration. I had fun ink blending a piece of bristol card and die cutting it with poppystamps Flower Field and Potpourri Flower dies!

I ink blended with Saltwater Taffy, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink pads and TE Ink Blending Brushes.

The light really catches the gems and sparkles so beautifully!

I used the NEW poppystamps Flower Field Frame die to emboss a design on a white cardstock panel.

I die cut the NEW poppystamps Flower Field Tall Curve Border die from the ink blended card two times and three of the flowers from the NEW Potpourri Flower Set from the leftover scraps of the ink blended card.

I die cut MOM from the Memory Box Wooden Alpha die set.

I trimmed the white panel down and layered it with thin mounting tape to a white A2 cardbase.

I adhered all the die cuts with Tombow mono multi glue and added a white heat embossed sentiment from poppystamps Contempo Greetings stamp set with mounting tape.

Memory Box Fairy Jewels in Pastel added for the flower centers. I love how it turned out!

Thank you for stopping by! May is coming for us in the midwest and there won’t be a shortage of flowers!

Birch Press Design Flower Cards…

April 26, 2022April 25, 2022 Pam Sparks7 Comments

A couple cards to share with you this week…unusual colors for me! Not sure but posting them anyway! lol

Light pink and bright green! Do they work?

I really like this plaid paper from the Memory Box Madras Plaid Blue and Violet 6×6 paper pad.

The flowers on this card are from the NEW Birch Press Design Eucalyptus Stem and Berries Contour Layers die set and the Tiny Tuft Flowers and LEaves Contour Layers die set.

Sentiment is Memory Box Just a Note Posh Script die cut in the NEW Memory Box Glossy Black cardstock and white cardstock.

Here I used Taylored Expressions Cupcake Pink cardstock and Bazzill Card Shoppe Easter Grass cardstock.

The flower and leaf in the corner are the NEW Birch Press Design Pimpernel Contour Layers die set.

I decided to use the NEW Memory Box Exquisite Leaf Frame die with it because the leaves are similar and I love this die anyway! It’s so pretty!

The sentiment is from poppystamps Colorful Life stamp set and stamped with Taylored Expressions Cupcake Pink ink in the MISTI. It’s very subtle but I kinda like that for a change.

The berries are a bit bluer in real life…pretty sure it’s Taylored Expressions Cookie Monster cardstock and the flowers are Taylored Expressions Candy Corn cardstock.

Just a Note is a Mini Slimline card and the Wishing You strength card is an A2 size card. Both will mail for one forever postage stamp in the USA.

Thank you for coming to visit today! More new stuff coming and I have some cute to share soon too!

poppystamps Potpourri Flower Set Cards…

April 14, 2022April 14, 2025 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! I have a floral duo to share today. Almost got off the kraft path but notice I managed to bring in some on one card! lol

I die cut a bunch of the NEW poppystamps Potpourri Flower Set dies and played around with different colors and ended up with a lot left over!

I used a stylus and old mouse pad to give the flower petals some poof and then added an enamel dot in the centers.

I used the NEW Memory Box Daisy Blossom Stem die for the some of the leaves on both. The pink card has additional leaves from the NEW Memory Box Layered Impatiens die and Memory Box Seed Stems die. I added white paint pen to the circles at the end of the stems.

I liked poppystamps Penelope Pinpoint Frame die for the background on the pink card and poppystamps Simple With Sympathy die for the sentiment.

Here I used poppystamps Lattice Plate die for the background, die cut in white cardstock and poppystamps New Freestyle Hugs die for the sentiment in black and vellum.

I didn’t get the lavender background panel captured very well for color so I tried holding up in the hallway! lol

It’s a pretty color IRL!

Well crazy here! It snowed yesterday! It didn’t last though. It’s really not unusual as I think back. One year in April I was headed back to where I grew up and got caught in a blizzard! It did last! eek! Not fun driving!

Some place it’s tropical right now! lol Not here! Have a beautiful weekend. Looking forward to celebrating and time with family.

ttul!

poppystamps Potpourri Flower, Freestyle Smile, Whittle Snail Card…

March 18, 2022March 18, 2022 Pam Sparks10 Comments

You’ve got mail! It’s always so fun to get mail! Here’s mail and a smile from this cute blushing snail! lol

I die cut the NEW Potpourri Flower Set in white and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers. I didn’t look at any pictures for coloring…flying by the seat of my pants again! haha

I layered the NEW ps Penelope Pinpoint Frame on top of Taylored Expressions Lemon Meringue cardstock A2 size panel. Then I adhered those two, to a purple from the Memory Box Twilight Purple 6×6 cardstock pad.

First I laid the flowers out down the left side of the panel from the top. Took a picture of them with my phone and put the snail down to see how it looked, it was too close to the right side of the card! I didn’t like it there! So I picked the flowers up with a piece of press and seal and reversed them to the right side bottom corner instead. Much better!

Then I die cut the NEW ps Freestyle Smile all in white, it was ok, so I die cut the top in black, too bold, so I die cut it in purple, nah, so I die cut it in yellow and that was it! I’m a terrible decision maker! lol

The sentiment is from ps Whittle Wild Animal Sentiments stamp set. Stamped in the MISTI with versamark ink and heat embossed with Lawn Fawn white embossing powder.

I glued the flowers down, then the snail and sentiments with mounting tape. Then I pulled up a couple of the flowers to put one on her head and one right close to the body.

I added yellow Fairy Gems last.

I forgot to talk about the snail! It’s die cut in kraft cardstock and edges inked with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and a mini ink blending tool. I went over the mouth, eyes and added eyelashes with a micro black fine point pen.

It’s a bright card and more fun in real life. I like it! That’s saying a lot of me cuz I don’t love yellow and purple! lol

It’s a rainy, dreary day here so we need bright! Have a good one anyway! ttul!

Memory Box Floral Birthday Card and poppystamps Floral Miss You Card…

March 2, 2022 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! I did a little flower coloring with Copics Monday. Colorbook therapy! It’s been so nice here, I hope the flowers don’t come up to soon!

I started with an A2 size cardbase. Topped it with a panel of the NEW Memory Box Black Glossy Cardstock. It’s heavyweight and die cut so nice for the Happy Birthday sentiment too!

Then I die cut and glued together, three for each side, the NEW Hex Half Pinpoint die. Don’t you love how it makes the perfect base for the NEW floral dies?!

Here’s a picture of the dies I used and for the flowers and leaves I colored.

Here’s a picture of the Copic Marker colors I used.

It didn’t take a whole lot of cuts! I was surprised. After coloring, I used black and white glaze pens to add some accents.

Look at this NEW Memory Box stamp set!!! (Full picture lower in the post) It matches the font of this Happy Birthday Posh Script die and the Miss you Posh Script die on my next card! I absolutely love matching fonts for the inside of my cards! ❤

This picture I’m trying to show a little of the dimension. I didn’t use any foam mounting tape and it will still go in the mail under ¼ inch thick for one forever stamp! YAY!

My second card for today is just plain floral fun!

The Memory Box Berry Red 6×6 Paper pad came out for this card. I love having 3 shades of each color to coordinate! It sure saves time digging through cardstock to find matching pieces!

I started with an A2 size kraft cardbase. I die cut the NEW poppy Penelope Pinpoint Frame in white, glued it on. I die cut the poppy Lattice Plate in white and glued it on.

Next came the NEW super pretty poppy Flower Field Frame die cut in one of the pinks in the Berry Red 6×6 pad and glued on.

Then some Memory Box Fairy Jewels for the flower centers.

Here’s the dies I used for this card…

and here’s the NEW stamp set that matches these posh script dies! and the Berry Red 6×6 pad.

Haha! Isn’t she the cutest! Look at that snout! I added a couple more layers to it. lol

I added the eyelashes with a color pencil! I also went over the partial cuts at the ears, eyes, snout and legs with the same color pencil.

Miss piggy is just one cut and I edged her with a little gathered twigs distress ink so she wouldn’t look too clean! haha The thought did cross my mind that she’d be super cute in a mud puddle!

She’s super cute…not sure who I’ll send it to but usually when I type that as soon as I hit publish I think of someone!

Thank you all for hanging in here for this long post! I promise not to make long a habit! lol
