Memory Box Happy Puzzle Letters and poppystamps Whittle Monkey Birthday Card…

April 30, 2020 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! Long card today…3 ⅞ x 9…will fit in a #10 business size envelope. These monkeys make me think… you too? Monkeys jumping on the bed! haha

Happy Monkeys! I used the Happy Puzzle Letters from the next to the last release from MB. So cute with this poppystamps Whittle Monkey…the stitched detail makes it so easy to create a CAS card with.

I die cut the Happy die in five colors of Taylored Expressions cardstock and used all the letters by mixing them up and adding white gel pen dots. I die cut five monkeys from TE Toffee cardstock, added a white gel pen dot on their cheeks, then mounted them with foam mounting tape to the card after I glued the Happys on the card front.

I wasn’t picky about what colors I used…a great way to use scraps! A cheerful, fun card! On the inside I stamped ‘birthday’. I forgot to take a picture of it but I’ll link the stamp set the birthday stamp came from below.

This will go to one of our grandkids I’m sure… thank you for stopping by today!

My Favorite Things All Star High Top Birthday Card…

April 16, 2020April 16, 2020 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone! Still catching up with birthday cards! This one was for our granddaughter Lilli! I couldn’t make it exactly like her shoes but I caught one of the patterns anyway! So cute!

Then the sweet daisies from Memory Box. Die cut in white and colored with Copics.

The paper I used for the shoes is an old pattern… really dates me… I think it was the first pattern paper company, Paper Patch…1995 ish! lol

Happy Birthday is from a Taylored Expressions Bold Brushstrokes stamp set that I use a lot for the teen ages. On the inside it says ‘you are totally awesome’ from the same set.

The detail in the High Top die is wonderful! The eyelets look real! So glad they brought this die back. I was able to snag an old set but now everyone can get it!

Thanks for clicking over today! Hope you enjoyed this cute card!

Memory Box Small Cosmos and Jovial Wreath CAS Card…

March 31, 2020March 31, 2020 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! A clean and simple card to share with you today with a wish for you to enjoy your day!

I almost got away with a completely die cut card. There is something about stamping a sentiment simply in black though! ❤

I die cut three of the Jovial Wreath in TE Granny Smith cardstock and glued them together with Tombow Mono Multi glue. I die cut two of the Small Cosmos, popped the pieces out of the top one but left them in the bottom one and added just a touch of coloring! I only glued them together around the very center and then glued the flower to the wreath and the wreath to the die cut in TE Confetti Cake and sentiment stamped panel using one of the sentiments from the Birthday Blowout stamp set.

I used mounting tape to adhere the panel to the A2 TE Toffee cardbase. I make my cardbases top folding because it’s easier to take pictures of them. Book fold cards are so nice and traditional though. I miss that sometimes! 😀

I imagine a lot of you already have flowers in your yards. Our temps are still too low in Iowa but it won’t be long! In the meantime, I’ll enjoy my day and my paper flowers!

I don’t have any of the new Memory Box/poppystamps release but Cindy @starlitstudio.net has all the NEW stuff and is shipping like normal! YAY! Simon Says Stamp has the new also but shipping is slower right now. Links below…

Memory Box Single Daisy Stem Card…

March 13, 2020March 13, 2020 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Happy Friday everyone! A CAS die cut card to share today. Our area stamp club meets this afternoon and I have the program. This is one of the two cards I’ll have them make.

The Single Stem Daisy comes with a backer die for the flower. I die cut it in TE Lollipop cardstock, put the cut into the full flower die and embossed it with a stylus.

Then I inked the flower head with TE Strawberry Milkshake ink and a little make up brush.

I die cut the complete flower in TE Granny Smith cardstock and inked it with TE Granny Smith ink and a little make up brush.

I glued the layers together. You might want to clip off some of the green flower bottom layer if it shows.

I popped up the flower head with mounting foam tape just in the center.

I stamped the panel with a sentiment from a poppystamps sentiment set, links below.

A little Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink on the background panel. Some jute and it’s done…A2 size!

I changed the wrap up this time and wrapped an A2 size stitched panel die cut in TE Toffee cardstock. Then I just made the bow separate and glued it on the stem. I used mounting tape to adhere the white panel to the Toffee panel because of the jute. I didn’t want a hump! 😀

Thanks for stopping by today! I love the message on this card…a good thing to remember everyday! ❤
