Memory Box Easel card and video…

June 4, 2013May 18, 2014 Pam Sparks31 Comments

So excited to share an Easel card with you today… it’s a multiple easel, Easel card! I love working with Memory Box and Poppystamps dies and papers…to really see the card well in the video, change the ‘gear’ to HD and click the full screen. It’s so much better BIG! : ) This was my 3rd take… the first two…well, I got the measurements and names right but messed up with construction! oh well…be sure to note the ‘notes’! Hope it inspires you to use your dies… hehe

I show the construction process and tell the sizes in the video…

I LOVE the addition of the kite to this scene! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

You can swing for awhile… grab a friend and go for a bike ride and even rest for awhile on the awesome park bench!

Here’s a closeup of that FUN bike!

I used all Memory Box card-stocks… Water, Dill, Granny Smith, Vanilla Bean, Licorice, Crimson and White. So much fun! Holler if you have any questions… I think between the video and the photos it’s pretty much self explanatory!

Linking up to some challenges…
Simon Says Stamps – Anything Goes
Word Art Wednesday – Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly – Anything Goes
The ABC Challenge – O is for Open

Here’s another multiple easel, Easel card I made… love it too! HERE and HERE is one with just one mini easel, Easel card.

Thanks for stopping by! I love hearing from you and appreciate it so much! I hope you’re inspired… I love to share!
ttul!

Memory Box NEW die, Graceful Silhouette…a beauty!

Add some grass…a butterfly… stamps…Memory Box pattern paper…all dies cut out of Memory Box card-stock too! It’s awesome stuff! Ask your local stamp store to carry it! Perfect Layers Rulers used to make the mats/layers. A little Copic coloring on the white puffy flowers…Peeled Paint Distress ink to stamp the Fresh Spring Wreath stamp over the sentiment.

Graceful Silhouette card #2 for today! I was going for a light, delicate look here…

I love the Corner Bow die… I clipped off the part that was extending off the card and used it to attach the tag to the stem of the Graceful Silhouette cut! I hid the end up the leaf. Memory Box Butterfly pattern paper in the background. Perfect Layers Rulers used to make the mats/layers.

Memory Box, Meadow Bird with a Spring Song…

March 21, 2013May 12, 2013 Pam Sparks18 Comments

Birds singing…a sure sign of Spring! Here’s the Meadow Bird wishing you a happy day!

I used the Grapevine wreath die to create the nest… snipped it into pieces, layered and glued the pieces together with Tombow Mono Multi glue. The eggs are die cut from the tall oval tree in the Modern Landscape die. I used the smallest leaf from the Tender Leaves die for the tree leaves but afterwards I thought it’d be quicker to cut the Lavish Branch die once and use the leaves from it!

I used Memory Box gingham and dot papers, HERE and HERE

The cute little music notes stamp comes on the end of the Wishing you a happy day stamp!

A little dot of Viva Decor Pearl pen in the flower centers… a sweet, quick card!

Thanks for stopping by today! Back tomorrow with a Tilda card for Spring!

This card was listed in the SCS CAS favorites thread and the SCS Weekly favorites thread this week! What an honor! Thank you ladies!
