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!

Be Good Laugh…

Pam Sparks22 Comments

Meet Laugh…one of the new Laugh Lines gals from CC Designs. When this new rolled rose die and new Authentique Christmas 6×6 paper pad arrived this week, I decided I needed to make a Christmas card with this cutie!  Then I thought it could be birthday even!  Our oldest daughter’s birthday is Christmas Day,  so I might be adding the check off box…naughty or nice! lol  Oops,  goofed…should’ve made her with red hair!

Laugh is stamped on PaperTrey Ink Select White Card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  Hair – E50, 23, 25, 27, 29… Skin – E000, 00, 01, R20, 21, (teeny bit of 22)… Dress/leggings – E81, 87 (had to do some tip to tip coloring)… Shoes – E43 ,44, 47, 49… Eyes – B21, 23.

I stamped the holly around the perimeter of the stamped image with Forest Moss Distress ink  (stamped off on scrap paper first each time because the first impression was too dark).  The holly corners and fill in stamps are oldies but goodies from Stampa Rosa.  I’m sure they are out there somewhere because I have similar ones from other companies. I aged the edges with Antique Linen Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

The rose is made with the new CC Cutters rolling rose die…so pretty!  I cut it with Stampin Up Real Red card-stock,  did a little shaping, rolled it up, glued it and spritzed it with Pearl Glimmer Mist.  A few leaf fronds and holly from Martha Stewart punches and I love it!

Hot, Hot Days of Summer

Pam Sparks43 Comments

SSSSShiver Me Timbers! is right!  It’s been so hot in Iowa this Summer!   I think the heat effects my creativity!  eek! This card took a few twists and turns before it turned into this diorama style card!

I used my Coluzzle templates to cut the ovals… Kraftin’ Kimmie Pirate Phrases stamp set…Tim Holtz screw brads around the oval frame…Martha Stewart Shells border punch…Hero Arts woodgrain background stamp.

The card/diorama is 5/8 inch deep,  so you can move it to make it flat (folds down to 6×6) to fit in an envelope!  Love this style of card… I made one for Christmas when I was the guest designer for All That Scraps back in Nov. ’09, HERE.  Years ago I made a snowman scene that I still keep out on top of a bookcase! lol

Here’s the back… this is going to our Grandson Henry for his 5th birthday.  Today is our Granddaughter Gena’s 4th birthday and my dear friend Alice’s birthday too!  Happy Birthday to YOU!
