poppystamps NEW Whittle Happy Unicorn (horse today) Barn Easel Card…

January 21, 2022January 20, 2022 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s freezin season but the sun is shining and it’s warm enough for me in the house! haha

poppystamps came out with this NEW Whittle Happy Unicorn die and I wasn’t in a unicorn mood after I die cut in white I guess. I decided to try an inked Distress Ink unicorn that ended up a horse! lol

Then I remembered the poppystamps Country Barn Pop Up Easel die set and I was off after two other starts!

I had some fun with the Memory Box Heart Streamer Globe die. It was one of my starts but I decided not to use it this time but then I decided to cut the streamers off and use them on the barn! Barns always need embellished, right?!

I’m pretty tickled with how it turned out. I took a bunch of pictures hoping they show what I did.

I made a little stand for the tufts of grass die cuts cut in TE Peapod cardstock and that whole piece with the horse lays down on the inside when you fold it up.

The horse is kinda like a second easel…

A strip of cardstock that I scored at ¼ in, glued the grass and then the horse to the ¼ inch part.

The sentiment, from the poppystamps Whittle Wild Animal Sentiments clear stamp set, is heat embossed on Taylored Expressions Cherry Pop cardstock with Lawn Fawn white embossing powder.

I put the easel together just like it shows on the back of the package. I have to look every time! lol

It folds flat to fit in the envelope…

I’m not sure who I’ll send this too but hopefully someone that loves horses!

Holler if you have any questions!

Now back to the other two starts and see if they go anywhere! There’s another new unicorn set with smaller unicorns and rainbows. Cute!

Thank you for stopping by today! We’re headed toward Valentines Day at a gallop! haha

ttul!

poppystamps Whittle Friendly Snowman and Double Joy Card…

November 18, 2021 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m so happy with this card! I probably could’ve added more and tried to bling it up but this time I just left him to say JOY to the world! ❤

This is a new poppystamps snowman die… so whimsical and fun! Oh you know a little holly might’ve been nice… I always think of things after! lol

I put him on a bed of snow from the new poppystamps Layered House Globe die set.

He just melts your heart, doesn’t he?! ❤ Oh…a heart on his belly to represent the O for joy would’ve been super fun too!

I used a plaid paper from last Winter’s 6×6 plaid paper pad called Christmas Plaid! I’m not finding it to link to anymore but I’ll link to this year’s pad that would work too! ugh. Sorry about that. I don’t know why I grabbed this one instead of the new one.

I die cut him from heavy white cardstock and colored his parts with Copic Sketch Markers. I backed the circles with a smaller punch circle so I would have something to glue his eyes and carrot too. Then I used mounting tape behind his top part, mounting tape behind the snow hill and mounting tape behind the top parts of the letters J and Y.

I die cut the plaid with the largest Memory Box Stitched Square Layers die. Then I matted it with black cardstock and adhered them to a 5 ½ x 5 ½ piece of green from the Memory Box 6×6 Lush Green cardstock pad. It matches perfectly with this plaid! yay!

‘To The World’ sentiment is from the new Memory Box Festive Christmas Greetings again… this is such a good set!

I love this new poppystamps Double Joy die too… you get so many options with the two dies included in the set!

Mr. Frosty is 5 ½ in. x 5 ½ in. square. So cute! I need to make some more of these and vary them a little as I go! hehe

Thank you so much for stopping by and your comments and for shopping through my links! I appreciate it!

poppystamps Cabin Snowglobe Pop Up Easel Card…

November 15, 2021 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m so in love with this set! I copied and made it like the photo on the package! lol I was making it for card kits so I just copied to skip the design process… Thank you Dave/poppystamps for designing and inspiring our cardmaking! ❤

So much potential though, for beautiful Winter cards! I know I”ll have to make it again and again with other dies too! I can see a snowman in the picture, can’t you? a sleigh? laughing all the way… brrrr lol

I have a lot of pictures because my camera does better on an overcast day…or maybe it’s me that does better on an overcast day! haha

On the back of the packaging are pictures of how it goes together. I’ve made a lot of easel cards but I still have to look to remember how these go together. Very easy.

I love being able to display cards. I use mine for decorating the mantel until I have to mail them!

The Warmest Wishes sentiment is from Memory Box Festive Christmas Greetings clear stamp set. So many good sentiment sets anymore from Memory Box and poppystamps…I love it when I can match the front with the inside!

The easel will lay down flat and then into an A2 envelope! So nice! I’m sitting here looking at it wishing I could show you IRL! lol

So festive and beautiful! I love making for Christmas! I hope you’re inspired! Have a good week and I’ll talk to you later!

Simon Says Stamp Handmade Holiday Release…

November 12, 2021November 12, 2021 Pam Sparks12 Comments

A snowy hello to you today! Simon Says Stamp sent me one of their new embossing folders, Snowy Path, to play with for this release.

I hadn’t use the new poppystamps Snowman and Trees die set yet so I thought it would be perfect in this shimmery snowy scene.

oh dear… it just dawned on me that I colored the path as if it was ice! lol Oh well, you can see it can be a path or a stream! A Winter Wonderland!

I inked everything with Blender Brushes and Distress Oxide Inks. The carrot nose is a Copic Sketch Orange Marker.

I spritzed with some Frost and Sparkle sprays and Winter Blizzard glitter glue.

A sweet, super shimmery, Winter scene A2 size card.

The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Inside Christmas Greetings clear set and stamped in Ranger black archival ink.

There are several new embossing folders in this release and stencils and stamps and dies… festive and beautiful!

Thank you for stopping by today! I’m working on some other cards and hope to show another one on Saturday! See you again soon!

Memory Box Christmas!!!!! It’s Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas Card…

October 1, 2021October 1, 2021 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hello and happy days to you and me! It’s beginning to look like Christmas here on my blog! YAY! It’s always challenging to decide what to start with but I guess I felt like coloring because I started with a stamp set and coordinating die first!

Festive Christmas Greetings is the name of this set…

Traditional, traditional, traditional! lol Red, Green and Gold! What can I say! lol

I used the NEW Pine Needle Trio die to back the oval, colored piece…

and the NEW poppystamps Scalloped Stitch Frames to set it all off!

I cut the Pine Needle Trio in Taylored Expressions Sweet Basil cardstock…

I stamped and heat embossed the main image and watercolored with Tombox Dual Brush markers and a #4 Silver Black Velvet watercolor brush. Links below…. Holly – 177 and 249. Leaves – 126 and 098. Berries – 847.

The cardbase is Taylored Expressions Cherry Pop cardstock.

I used Neenah Solar White 110# for all the white.

Back to basics! This is the kind of stamping I did back in 1994 when I started making cards! Makes me smile… back then we could only wish for punches that weren’t stars, hearts or circles! lol Now look at all we have!!!

Craft away everyone and I’ll be back with more fabulous from the Memory Box/poppystamps release! Thank you for clicking over!

Here’s what I used to make this card!
