Super Edwin stepping in for Green Lantern…

Pam Sparks42 Comments

It’s been a busy Summer for our family birthday wise!  Our youngest daughter and her DH planned a Green Lantern themed party for their son Jace, with a cool invitation and skyscraper table piece she made with the Cricut.  I knew this Super Edwin was coming so I’m just now getting a card made for Jace!

Here’s a picture of the invitation…so cute!  I love it!

The party table with the skyscraper table display… so cool!  Awesome creating Breanna and Eric!  I love the wires between the buildings!

Back to Edwin…a couple side shots. It’s an Easel card with one mini easel add on in the front. Video Tutorial on how to make an Easel card with one add on HERE.  Video Tutorial on how to  make an Easel card with two add on’s HERE. Both are short!

A couple pictures from the side…

Super Edwin is NEW in The Winner Takes All Collection from Magnolia. I inked him up with Memento Tuxdeo Black ink, stamped on Beckett Expression Card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch markers.  The Skyscraper circle scene is from LaLa Land Crafts… inked with Distress inks, the ink blending tool and a little copic coloring too. Edwin’s cape is colored with a metallic silver Uniball ink pen.  I made the Green Lantern symbol on his chest with a couple circle punches and a ribbon punch, all from McGill.  The Birthday Boy sentiment is from the Amy R Stamps It’s Your Birthday set.  Smallest skyscraper border is a Martha Stewart edge punch.  The other sky line is a 12 in. Sizzlet border die.

More birthdays coming up! More reasons to stamp and create!  Thanks for stopping by!  I appreciate it!

Country Lula for August Tuesday Review…

Pam Sparks27 Comments

My card for today uses Country Lula,  the new Rolling Rose die (video below) and a sentiment from the new Mixed Messages stamp set.

The tool I used to help me roll up the rose is in the store HERE.

I made a video for the Rolling Rose die…

I stamped Country Lula on PaperTrey Ink white card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic Sketch markers.   I masked her with Eclipse tape and stamped the chicken wire background stamp from Oxford Impressions behind her and the grass below her.  I think the grass is from Rubber Stampede. Inked the sky in with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and the grass with Peeled Paint Distress ink and the Ink Blending Tool.

The little white flowers are from Maya Road, the pattern paper pad is 6×6 For the Record from Echo Park, Martha Stewart Around the Page Punch set, Hero Arts gems, machine stitching and the leaf frond is a small Sizzlet die from Stampin Up.

Here’s a close up of this cutie!

Flower Laugh and Bee Laugh…

Pam Sparks15 Comments

Bringing you sunshine and flowers!  This is Flower Laugh!  The new gal on the block from CC Designs!    So cute with her quirky little smile!!!  Personality +++! So fun to color too!

Flower Laugh is a cling mount stamp… I inked her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink,  stamped her on Strathmore Bristol Smooth card and colored her with Copic Sketch markers

To complement the new Laugh Lines stamps, Christine illustrated a set of four postal stamps…also cling mount stamps. (to cut out the postage looking half circle,  I use my Japanese screw punch!)

The “thinking of you” sentiment is from another new set we’ll be previewing later this week, called Mixed Sentiments!  I cut it out with one of the banners from the CC Cutters banner set.

I used the sketch from Mojo Monday Challenge blog, HERE,  for my Flower laugh card.

Next up… Bee Laugh… spunky little character!  love her!

Another postal stamp from the Postage Laugh set…another new sentiment from a set we’ll be previewing tomorrow!  I also used the CC Cutters Dottie Trim die, link below…

Stamps and stuff I used for my cards today…

Thanks so much for stopping by…I’ll be back!  Lots to preview this week!

Ice Cream Birgitta soaking up the sun!

Pam Sparks28 Comments

How about another take on our beloved easel card!


Here’s a little 2 minute video on how I scored and folded the pieces…very easy!

 

I used Ice Cream Birgitta from the June, CC Designs, Swiss Pixies release.  I stamped her on heavy cold press watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink and colored her with distress inks.  Made a little beach for her with the Fiskars wave border punch,  the Martha Stewart rickety fence border punch and the EK Success sandcastle/beach border punch.  Oh,  I do LOVE punches!  I punched the wave punch out of white cardstock and inked it with Faded Jeans Distress ink and the ink blending tool… then came back and added white accents with a white gel pen.  The puffy little flower stickers here and there are from K & Co.  I purchased them at an independent scrapbook store in Des Moines.  Filmstrips are so fun for embellishing and this new mini die from My Favorite Things is awesome!  love it!  I punched little fishies out of the pattern paper and stuck them behind the open areas.  The small easel is pattern paper I cut up from a 6×6 sheet from the Fancy Pants Beach pad.  Super cute papers for Summer acitivities.

Here’s how the easels fold down, flat, to fit into an envelope…

Just the front…

NEW stamps and more stuff in the store at All That Scraps… HERE…the new Tomboy stamps are sure cute!
