Memory Box…a three card kind of a day!

May 15, 2015May 25, 2015 Pam Sparks32 Comments

Spring, flowers and Memory Box! Today I’m sharing three cards using more of the Spring collection for this year.

I used the NEW Aberdeen Branches die for my first card…die cut in green, then used scraps of yellow and orange to cut extra flowers and the butterfly. Trim those cuts and glue in the centers to the green cut.

The sentiment is from the NEW poppystamps clear set ‘Into the Words‘.

I used a white Signo Broad gel pen on the little white flowers and Ranger White Enamel Accents to make the green ‘buds’ white.

Linking my Aberdeen Branches Card to Virginia’s View Challenge – Layers and Dimension

Here’s a close up so you can see a little better…

How about a CAS card using the NEW Pennington Rose die and NEW Kindness of People stamp…I love how this turned out. The beauty of a single Rose!

Linking my Rose card to the Happy Little Stampers CAS May Challenge – Dies or Punches

And one more card using the NEW Row of Poppies die, the NEW Open Studio Postage Rectangle Layers die set and the NEW Open Sudio Party Time Clear Stamp set. Poppies are layered on one of the Open Studio Stitched Rectangle Layers dies.

Linking my Poppies card to the Happy Little Stampers CAS May Challenge – Dies or Punches, to Virginia’s View Challenge – Layers and Dimension and to Seize the Birthday Challenge – anything goes birthday.

My poppy card made the Top TEN at Virginia’s View Challenge! Thank you so much Stephanie

All three cards are A2 size.

Thanks for stopping by today! I know you’re busy so I kept my chatter to a bare minimum! lol Holler if you have a question! Thanks for all your comments too! ‘preciate it!

Impression Obsession Nativity card…

December 23, 2014December 26, 2014 Pam Sparks21 Comments

I love Christmas… tomorrow our family will gather and we’ll start our Christmas Eve celebration by putting out the nativity set. Each child will pick a character and place it in the scene when we come to that part of the scripture. Every once in awhile through the rest of the day and even through the year they will talk about it… makes my heart happy!

This is the card I sent to our daughters/families. Inspired by Dina from the IO design team.

I sprayed and spattered white linen on the blue background. The grass die is from poppystamps…the fence and nativity from Impression Obsession.

I edged the kraft with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.

On the inside, I used the sentiment, ‘joy to the world’ from a Tim Holtz Sizzlet long die.

Linking my card to…

I hope to get pictures of the tags I’ve been making…eek… it’s been so dark here the last few days…come on snow! We’re had rain and dreary…weird for Iowa! Oh well, when you’re busy, you hardly notice the weather!

Did you receive the email update from Memory Box? WOW! Gorgeous new dies coming! woohoo! to ‘die’ for! haha

Merry Christmas Eve, Eve Day!

poppystamps and SSS dies…

I’ve had this card made for a couple weeks and just now remembering to get it posted! I saw the challenge is snow this week at CASology and it jogged my brain! yay! So I’m linking up there!

A glittery, shiny, CAS card, perfect for a white Christmas! Come on snow! haha

And on the inside bottom right I die cut a silver snowflake and glued it partially in the corner… pretty! Forgot to take a picture of that though!

LOVE these new poppystamps word dies! They are just gorgeous cuts! LOVE them, I do!

The Simon Says Stamps snowflakes are gorgeous too and cut in the silver metallic that I didn’t take a picture of…perfect! Fire me as a photographer! lol

I used the Perfect Layers Rulers to cut the silver mat, then adhered the layers to a white card-base.

This turned out to be a pretty much an A7 size card… hehe
