poppystamps Nordic Crown Flower and Scallop Pinpoint Hearts Slimline Card…

Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hello everyone! How is it February already!  This month is going to fly by too! Our family is in the midst of preparing for a wedding!  One of our grandsons is getting married!  It’s pretty exciting but shopping for a dress and shoes…eek…time consuming!  I haven’t dreamed up a card for them yet! lol

I decided to play around with this new die set a couple weeks ago and had this idea but it ended up too large to be symmetrical so I tried it as a vertical slimline and didn’t like it at all until I turned it horizontal!  whew! lol

Are you enjoying the NEW Nordic line from poppystamps the last couple releases?  There’s a ton of designs!

I used the Nordic Crown Flower and Scallop Pinpoint Hearts here.  The smallest of the hearts.

I needed a sentiment so I went digging and found this Love Jotted Script from Memory Box and went with it.

I used some pink and green cardstocks from my ancient stash! lol

The white background panel is from a Hobby Lobby watercolor pad.

I’m linking to some card challenge blogs…

Simon Says Stamp House Border Frame and Doodlebug Designs Happy Home Card…

Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone!  I just got this NEW House Border Frame just in time to make and give away!

I stamped a little outdoor scene with Happy Home stamp set from Doodlebug Design and did some sloppy Copic coloring!

The little roof sections are a separate die so that’s nice and adds a little dimension.  I die cut them in black and glued them on.

Welcome to the neighborhood is from the stamp set also.

Spring is coming, right?! lol  A person can always think Spring no matter that it’s below zero in polar Iowa right now! lol

I used a dot paper from Hobby Lobby and the stripe from My Favorite Things.

The banner die is from poppystamps.

It’s an A2 size card.  Delivered with a loaf of homemade bread!  yay!

Happy weekend to you and thank you so much for stopping by!

NEW Memory Box Cards…

Pam Sparks16 Comments

Hello!  I’m enjoying the sunshine today!  It really warms up the house…thankful for that in this below zero weather we’ve been having!

Meanwhile flowers are growing in my stamp room!

Two cards to share with you today…NEW dies and NEW papers!

I inked up the NEW Blooming Anemone and NEW Elegant Anemone dies with Distress Ink and the mini blending tools.  I die cut the florals from Bristol cardstock and used Peacock Feathers and Pine Needles Distress Inks.

Two NEW 6×6 paper pads from Memory Box, Anemone Plaid and Anemone Grove.

I made this card base a mini slimline size. I do love this size…just something charming about it with the florals, inking and plaid.  Wish I could show it to you in person!

The florals are so easy to put together.  I love that.  I just follow the pattern on the envelope by laying the pieces on top of the picture!

Oh, the greens I used for the stems and leaves…Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Ink.

I used a poppystamps sentiment from the Modest Greetings 1 hot foil and cut die set.  Spellbinders gold hot foil.

Taylored Expressions Cardstock… I’ll link below.

The ribbon rolls in my photos are HERE…

Linking this card to some challenges…

Triple B January 2024 Challenge – Blooms

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Let’s Have Some Fun!

NBUS Challenge #58 – Never Before Used Stuff!

Next card…

A NEW hot foild plate, Rectangle Dot Border.  I love how it looks like a faux spotlight!

I used the NEW Happy Birthday Debut Script die cut from the NEW Anemone Grove 6×6 paper pad, tone on tone piece that I used for the background panel.  For the Happy Birthday Debut Script backer, I used plaid from the NEW Anemone Plaid 6×6 paper pad.

I die cut a rectangle of vellum to fit inside the hot foil frame using the Rectangle Basics die set.

Everything is layered on an A2 White cardbase.

Three Doodlebug Design enamel dots for a little something!

I mounted the sentiment with the thin mounting tape I love, to the vellum panel first so I’d know where I could put glue on the back of the vellum to adhere it to the purple pattern paper.

Linking my Happy Birthday card to a new challenge!  Check it out!

Word Power #1 – a challenge using sentiments as the focus

That’s pretty much it!  Holler if you have any questions! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Links to what I used to make these two cards… I added some sentiment stamp sets to the end because I’m always looking for sentiments for the inside so I figure you might be too!

Doodlebug Design Pickup Winter Greetings Card…

Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! I haven’t put all my Christmas stash away yet!  So much I haven’t gotten to use yet!

This ‘doodle cuts’ set from Doodlebug Design isn’t a Christmas die set!  The name of it is ‘so thankful’!  It’s a scene set with trees, sun, clouds, pickup and super cute vegetables!

When I saw it, I was like I HAVE to make that for Christmas with trees!  lol

I’m so happy with how it turned out!

The trees are from the doodle cuts set called ‘Christmas Cocoa’.  I used two cuts for each tree.  It looks like three cuts but that’s because I put one cut back in the die and ran it through so it would be a shorter piece for the top of the tree and I used  the part it cut off for the bottom of the tree.  The center of the tree is a full cut that I glued the top and the bottom to.  Super easy.

The bare tree trunk is from the doodle cuts set ‘so thankful’ that the truck is from.

I die cut the snowflakes, holly and berries from the doodle cuts ‘snow cute’ die set.

The heart is from the doodle cuts ‘love notes’ set.

The snow bank is just a piece of white cardstock that I tore.

I spattered the background sky with white drawing ink. Let it dry before adhering everything together.

I used poppystamps Christmas Banners clear stamp and die set for the sentiment.  White heat embossing Winter Greetings on a piece of kraft cardstock.

I used my favorite thin, thin mounting tape to adhere the green trees and the pickup to the 4 x 5 ¼ inch panel.  I used Tombow mono multi liquid glue to adhere the tree trunks and snowflakes flat to the panel.

The end result is a top folding A2 size card that will mail for one forever stamp.

So fun…I hope this card makes you smile too! It brings back good/happy memories of when the girls were younger and we went out and cut down our tree every year.

Thank you for stopping by again!  I appreciate it and your encouraging comments!  I love connecting with other cardmakers!

We have a lot of snow.  No one is going anywhere.  Well I’ve seen a few ppl stuck in the street.  You have to know how to drive in this kind of weather. lol  It’s so beautiful!

I’ll stop talking and put in my links below…ttul!

Simon Says Stamp Pine Frame From The DieCember Release…

Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone!  All the joys of the season to you! Have you seen a cardinal lately?  I don’t see them around here.  Maybe once or twice in 30 years!

I wanted to use the Memory Box Layered Cardinal die again and it worked perfect with this NEW Simon Says Stamp Corner Pine Frame designed by Memory Box in partnership with SSS.

So beautiful and so easy to put together too.

I did shim this pine frame with two pieces of copy paper when I die cut it.

I added the three branches from the New Memory Box Layered Greenery Stems.  A little filler.

The background panel is one of the watercolor panels I made following Jill Foster’s tutorial on You Tube.  It’s on the Penny Black You Tube page.

I used the NEW Memory Box Aurora Snowflake Frame between the watercolor panel and the Corner Pine Frame.

The NEW poppystamps Lavish Merry Christmas die cut in white and silver for the sentiment!

Linking to some challenges…

Peace on Earth #54 – anything goes Christmas (totally inspired by the bottom right corner photo in the inspiration photo!)

Triple B Challenge – Birds for me this time

The Sisterhood of Crafters – Christmas

I really love this nature take on a Christmas card.  Hope it makes you smile too.

All the best to you and yours for a beautiful celebration of Christ’s birth!  God bless you all!

❤
