New Memory Box dies and a Snowman card…

January 15, 2013January 15, 2013 Pam Sparks21 Comments

Oh WOW! Have you seen the new Memory Box dies? Here’s a short video from BlueMoon Scrapbooking…at the end, you’ll see tons more and a new longer size too! Yikes… I can see it’s going to be hard to “be good” this year! HERE they are in the store. Can’t wait to get to using some of them. I have four of the new ones so far (I had to have the pine needle border) but I’m sure I will be tempted to get more! ; ) Free ship @ $50 for US 48 states and special International rates too! Blue Moon has awesome customer service too!

Here’s a snowman card I made for the Snowman swap at stamp club last Friday….inspired by different ones I’ve seen online… so cute sharing hearts!

I used a snowman Sizzix die that is discontinued… I found him on ebay last year…good luck ‘hunting’ him down! The name on the die is just ‘Snowman’ and the item # is 656299.

The music is a Penny Black stamp HERE. I stamped it twice.. masked the bottom and stamped the head, then stamped again on his body. Old Hyglo heart punch and Quickutz mini Studio alphabet for the X and O. Buttons from Lasting Impressions for paper and pattern paper is old Basic Grey Blush I think. Button on the scarf is from My Favorite Things Die-namics Button die HERE. Hemp is from the Scrapping Center HERE. Love this stuff, it’s just the right weight… comes in other colors too. : )

I’m working on catching up with emails and comments! I’m coming to visit you soon! Today is Tim’s birthday and I need to make a card for the Don and Daisy blog tomorrow and then hopefully it’ll slow down and I can catch up again! woohoo! I should be making Tim a card… ugh. oops. I have some steak for supper! hehe

Thanks for stopping by! ttul!

20% off PLUS an additional 10% off when you use the code VETERANS!

The best part of waking up is not Folgers in your cup anymore!!! It’s waking up to a SALE! lol ☕

🎄 🎄 🎄

Meet Caroling Daisy… a new clear stamp from the Don and Daisy line by Marianne Design. She is stamped on Hammermill 80# Color copy paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. The pattern paper is from the NEW Fancy Pants Christmas 6×6 pad.

I used the new Book die from Marianne Design and stamped a stamp from Embossing Arts on the book page. I had to use a negative mask (I made it by stamping and cutting out what I wanted to stamp) to stamp the image.

Martha Stewart holly branch punch and holly border punch. ok – the holly branch punch is hard to find, some places say discontinued… I found it at Blue Moon, link below… if you want it… grab it while you can! The JOY sentiment is from Printworks Collection.

I wish I’d thought to stickle up the candle beams… there is always something I think of after the fact… this is already version 2! lol

Believe it or not, I used the Sweet Stop Sketches sketch for my card!!! lol I’m going to go ahead and link it up even though I had to take a detour or two! hehe

Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate it! I love hearing from you and appreciate all your awesome comments and friendship!!!

Printworks… CAS-ual Fridays…kraft on…

November 1, 2012November 5, 2012 Pam Sparks18 Comments

add some jingle! I love to sing and I’ve always loved the ‘Deck the Halls with boughs of Holly’ song! What a cute silhouette elf… All the stamps are from Printworks Collection. This is one of the cards I designed for them and will be showing up on a sample board in retail stores around the country! I can’t wait to hear from you, if you’ve seen it in person!

The challenge over on the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog is Kraft On… so I’m entering my card there!

Here’s the inside…

I used my Perfect Layers tools for matting…Printworks Oak Brown ink and the Ink Blending Tool to edge the papers. Holly painted with Printworks stamp pad ink and reinkers. I use the Omnigrid ruler to line up the fishtail banner straight. The Die-namics Fishtail banner that I’m linking to, would’ve worked, I didn’t have it at the time… have it now! hehe May Arts ribbon… I think you can get this from Printworks too, just email Nicole & Chelsea at the store site.
