Memory Box cards…

September 4, 2013 Pam Sparks18 Comments

Hi everyone! Here’s a charming little garden scene, a reminder that Summer is still kinda hangin’ around!

A close up of the flowers I cut from the Botanic Frame set…love how it cuts and embosses too!

Love the purple pearls…they just give it that little bit of bling that makes the card sweet.

Next up… a Christmas card. Carrying over the purple!

The Silver Mirror-card cuts and embosses so pretty! Quite striking IRL!

So many gorgeous Memory Box dies! Links below to the ones I used to make these two cards!

Thanks for stopping by! ‘preciate it!

Magnolia, Tilda’s Town Challenges…

August 23, 2013 Pam Sparks10 Comments

The challenge at Tilda’s Town this week is Christmas! I got it into my head to go for CAS… well… it’s pretty IRL but oh my… so hard to capture shiny, shimmery, gold and glitter on camera!

I colored with Copics… G20’s, R30’s, YR21’s and a metallic silver gel pen.

Put the double sided tape sheet over it and used the Art Glittering system’s diamond dust glitter all over it.

I used the Jingle Jangle Tangle stamp and A Merry Christmas Text stamp from Magnolia, available at Tilda’s Town.com . I heat embossed the sentiment with gold ultra fine embossing powder.

Cut the layers with my Perfect Layers Rulers… LOVE them… link over in the right sidebar and tutorial under the header…pull down under tutorials.

Deck the Halls with boughs of Holly… this is the NEW Fabulous Holly Wreath die from Memory Box. I cut it twice and layered it up on two cuts of the Bramble Circle die. A piece from the Pine Needle Border (love this die) and top it off with four cuts of the half bow from the Crisp Bows dies. I love these Glitter domes too… link below in shopping for supplies links.

I stamped the Winter Collage Background stamp in brown ink on Memory Box Kraft card-stock. Stamped it again on Cranberry to get an extra bird, cut it out and mounted it on the full stamped piece.

Mounted the Kraft piece to Cranberry, to Vanilla Bean and then to a Vanilla Bean Distressed Dots card base. I used the Perfect Layers Tools to cut the mats/layers. No snow on this one but you could sure add some to cool things off! haha

Just can’t get enough of the NEW Pinecone Corner die…love the NEW Hayden Twigs die with Frosted Lace Stickles and Glitter Domes! How cool is the NEW Snowcap Ornament die in Cranberry Dots card-stock! The little snowflakes I cut out of NEW Gabriella Border die and put White Glitter Domes in the centers. It all just pops on the white card. Sure reminds me of how bright the fresh fallen white snow is!

I’ll sign off and we’ll go back to celebrating Summer! : ) I sure do notice that it’s getting darker earlier every week… that’s what I miss most in the Winter… I like the extra hours of light in the Summer!

Thanks for the blog visit today! I always love hearing from you! I’ll be back Friday!

How about some gingham whimsy today?! oh and some dots! Love the Small Circle Burst die cut in the Bluebird Gingham Memory Box card-stock. I backed it with Squash Dots Memory Box card-stock.

My card made it into the Splitcoast Stampers Weekly Favorites! Thank you Sharon!

I started this card back in June…kept changing my mind about this and that…then the new Merry and Bright collection came out and I got side tracked with Christmas cards! Then it worked out to try the NEW Melinda Corner and the NEW Pinecone Corner dies for the bottom…

I think they would even work for a man’s birthday. Love the silver truck! : ) Oh wait…my friend Linda drives a silver truck…perfect for her! hehe

Here’s the other one…
