Printworks Winston, Peeking Cats and Calories!

June 30, 2016June 30, 2016 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Hi everyone! I know, I know…I forgot to warn you… get your sunglasses! lol Meet Winston from Printworks Collection, so cute! I did all the painting here with Zig Clean Color Brush Paint Pens….some distress inks sponged on for the yellow and green.

I also used the new Garden Tulips stamp , The Good Earth stamp and Sunshine Flowers stamp.

Next up…the adorable Peeking Cats stamp and Friends Are the Sunshine stamp.

Watercolored with Zig Clean Color Brush Paint Pens…a Memory Box Postage Layers Rectangle die and some washi tape a long the bottom of the card.

You HAVE to love this sentiment! Isn’t it the cutest?! This is a new stamp, Calories Fall Out. Oh, there’s that washi tape again! lol I used the Large Cupcake stamp and colored with Zig Clean Color Brush Paint Pens and Heart Sprinkles from Doodlebug.

Distress ink background and to get the distressed look to the paper, just pounce a piece of tape around in places and it ages it. A fun pretty much one layer card!

Hope I made you smile! Thanks so much for stopping by today! ‘preciate it! TTUL!

I colored Harvy and the scene with Zig Clean Color Paint markers… love them I do! Canson Montval watercolor paper, my favorite for coloring… awesome quality. I’ll link you up below.

Printworks 2015 Christmas release stamps…

December 9, 2015December 9, 2015 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Meet Big Bow Bertie … some serious personality for a snowman! I love this happy guy! I mean, how many guys would wear a big festive bow like this?! I stamped him on Hobby Lobby watercolor paper and colored with Zig Clean Color Brush Paint markers. Spritzed with Pearl spray…

The happy winter sentiment is from Printworks too.

I used four dies from Memory Box, Modern Tile Background for the window look, Dancing Snowflake Frame and the Small Winter sled. I die cut the sled from three cardstocks. Silver for the base, red for the curved guide bar and woodgrain for the slats. I left the silver whole, trimmed off the red bar, trimmed the woodgrain down and used a silver gel pen between the slats so it’d look like the base showing through. Easy and it looks like one of those Jolee stickers! The snowflake is from the Wintry Snowflake Bundle. Oh, I did use an ⅛ inch hole punch to put the paper cord through on the red guide bar.

Next – This delightful creature is this year’s Limited Edition Snowman! Isn’t she gorgeous?! Fairy Snow Queen is her name! I softly watercolored her, then painted Frosted Lace Stickles over her. Heart of Gold Prills on her crown.

The sentiment is new, Magical Winter, heat embossed on vellum with Judikins Silver Twinkle embossing powder. She’s mounted to a piece of American Crafts Glitter cardstock.

I think she’ll be a hit with the granddaughters!

Last for today… the Grinchmas Tree! I love it! Stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored sloppily with two green Copic sketch markers! Oh and a couple browns. Some Heidi Swapp Gold splatters… some more Prills…Minnie Pearls this time.

Some Washi tape… one of the faster cards I’ve ever made!

So many wonderful stamps in this release and in all the past releases too! Be sure to check them out at Printworks Collection.com

Thanks for stopping by! ttut!

The Fresh Wrap guy is stamped on Hammermill Color Copy Cover with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers, the T series and a little purple V15 I think it was.

Glossy Accents on the eyes and condo windows.

A silly wrap job! hahahaha
