I’m lovin’ this NEW release from Printworks Collection!  The Chalk Greeting F4385 wood or cling,  combined with God Bless D4388 wood and Chalk Element E4386 wood or cling, for the main panel.  Then the Chevron Border G4361 wood or cling,  inked up in Printworks Holly Berry Red die ink on kraft card-stock… be still my heart!  lol

oh yes,  Must wrap in candy cane twine!  oh yes, Must have greenery!  Deck the Halls and down right festive!  I completely forgot to smudge on a little white ink for the chalky look!  oh well… got excited about actually finishing a card and posting it all in the same day! lol

The holly die is from the Tim Holtz lamp post die and the pine is from the Impression Obsession wreath set… I’ll link up at the very end of the post.

Love the holly and the ivy and that red sparkle!  I used my Perfect Layers Tools for the 1/16th inch mat. Link in the sidebar or below.

More NEW stamps on the inside… G4363 Frame Curls wood or cling, D4364 St. Francis Quote wood or cling, and B4390 Merry Christmas wood or cling.

Then on the back, I like to use a couple Printworks stamps, Rubber Art wood and Stamped from the Heart wood.  I’ll sign my name and date when I send it.

Printworks Collection Rudolph…

Pam Sparks25 Comments

PamSparksPWRudolphClosedFlat

Here’s a jolly Rudolph for you!  I love these flip card dies from Sizzix… easy to decorate with stamps!

PamSparksPWRudolphClosed

It’s always hard to know how to photograph this type of picture.  The card folds completely flat for mailing/storage.  I have the front panel bottom right corner tucked behind the tag to keep it kinda closed but it will stand on it’s own like this.

PamSparksPWRudolphFrontOpen

Here it is in partial ‘flip’ mode!  I should’ve just made a video! lol  There’s Wink of Stella Clear Glitter on his nose and on the area surrounding his nose… hard to see in the photo though.

PamSparksPWRudolphInside

The ‘flip’ side of the front panel… I bet you were expecting ‘let it snow’!  I love this Let it Glow stamp!  Perfect for Rudolph or anything sparkly, pretty and wintery!

Joe Kool meets Holiday Online Card Class…

Joe Kool visited our city bearing snow and cold yesterday!  He decided it was SNOW time!  It was still here this a.m. but the sun was out strong and melted it all away by afternoon…I’m sure Joe Kool will be back! haha  Gotta have a white Christmas!

I really hesitated signing up for this online class… didn’t register until Sunday!  In the past I’ve always struggled making the time to complete any of the assignments.   For this session there is a day between classes and that was just the break I needed to make one of the assignments! hip hip hooray!  I hope I can do some more!

What fun!  I love kraft, red, black and white! Throw in the washi tape, twine and a snowman and I’m smilin’!

Joe Kool is just one of the many awesome snowmen from Printworks Collection.  You can find him in the store HERE. The sentiment snow time HERE and Happy everything HERE.

PamSparksPrintworksSMheadClose

I stamped Joe with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Get a load of that sparkle!!!  You’ve heard about the Wink of Stella glitter brush markers?!  WAY cool, like Joe!  Check them out HERE! I used the white, red and dark green ones. (brushed right over the coloring) They dry fast too!

PamSparksPrintworksSMheadInside

Inside…a gift card holder crafted with vellum and washi tape.  I didn’t have a gift card to put in the pocket, so I put a piece of green card-stock in there for the photo. Now  you can see the white embossed happy everything!   (don’t mind the few specks of white…insert TIP…when you’re embossing on vellum… put a dark paper behind so you can see said specks! Just pretend they’re snow! All better now)

Snowflake punch is this one… HERE.

Challenges…
Addicted to Stamps – punches or dies
Seize the Sketch  – sketch
Paper Playtime – sparkle
Shopping Our Stash – use something already out on your desk (wink of stella pens, copics, stamp pads, washi tape, twine)

Just plain fun!  Thanks for looking!  Love it when you stop by!  Always love to hear from you too!  Take care and stay warm!

Operation Write Home is an amazing organization that collects handmade cards to send to soldiers who in turn use them to send home to friends and family.  Wow!  What an awesome thing they do and I’m delighted to have a tiny part in it today.

PamSparksPWCupThanks700

I created two cards for the blog skip using the Perfect Layers Tools, 1/16th inch and 1/8 inch to cut the mats on this card and Printworks Collection rubber stamps.  I stamped the flowers first on watercolor paper, then masked them, stamped the cup and colored with Distress inks.  Stamps I used are HERE and HERE.

A thank you card and a Christmas card!  I know… I wasn’t wanting to do Christmas again but this image just needed to get inky! Let’s Go For A Walk, HERE, Tis the Season HERE. I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers. I added 1/16th inch mats with the Perfect Layers Tools. The pattern paper is from Echo Park, a 6×6 pad called Tis the Season.  Holly is from the Memory Box Fabulous Holly Wreath die.

I used the Operation Write Home Sketch #191.
