Simon Says Stamp Make Magic Release Cup of Love Card…

August 9, 2021August 9, 2021 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! I have another mini slimline card to share with you today! This size is so much fun!

I just received my order with a few of the new products from this release… Cup of Love stamp set and die set and this new slimline size Organic Dots stencil.

I’m not a coffee drinker but lots of family and friends that are! This should get used!

I simply inked through the stencil with Gathered Twigs Distress ink using the Make-Art Stay-tion that comes with four strong magnets to hold the stencil in place…very helpful!

Then I spattered with black watercolor, dried it and then white watercolor.

To cut the panels I used the new Waffleflower Mini Slim Line die set! I am going to get the use out of this set… I’ll link it below too.

I stamped, die cut, colored and assembled. The card ends up 3 ½ x 6 inches. I used Memento Rich Cocoa stamp pad for the coffee.

I stamped the sentiment with Ranger Archival Coffee ink pad.

I’ll link you up to this new release and the $5 off your next order code is good until the 15th!

Thank you for stopping by!

Simon Says Stamp Delicate Outline Flowers for Two Mini Slims…

July 14, 2021July 14, 2021 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! This new cling stamp from Simon Says Stamp’s newest release is almost 6×6 size. I stamped it up, heat embossed it in gold, painted it with Karin watercolor markers and cut it in half! eek! That was hard to do! lol It’s perfect for two mini slimline cards though!

The sentiment die is from Memory Box. On the top card I used a vellum layer and on the second I used a mirror gold layer.

Here you can see the gold the way it looks in real life!

Here the sentiment is die cut in the mirror gold cardstock… so pretty!

The top card is the right side of the stamp, second card is the left side! I kept with a simple method of watercoloring on Strathmore Best watercolor, the brown pad. I put the darkest color ink marker down on dry paper, then moved it out with a lighter color ink marker, then a wet paintbrush. I made myself just keep going, not going back and back! lol

I love this mini slim line size but I’m not stuck here! lol

Thank you for stopping by…check out the new release from Simon Says stamp and use the code YUM521 through 8/15.

Simon Says Stamp Magnolia Branches Embossing Folder…

May 26, 2021May 27, 2021 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone! I was trying for a vintage look with this NEW embossing folder… it turned out pretty and feminine!

This folder is from the NEW Born to Sparkle release…

It’s easy to get a variety of ‘looks’ with this folder!

Using a piece of Memory Box watercolor cardstock in the folder, I ran it through the Big Shot.

Then using Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink and a blender brush, I lightly inked over the entire surface of the panel.

I liked it plain but finally decided to add some color with a palette of chalks. I don’t know if they even make them anymore!

I tied on some thin jute cord…

I die cut the Memory Box Thank You Posh Script die, added mounting tape to the back, distressed the edges of the panel with the Tim Holtz Distress Edge tool, inked around the edges and adhered it to a cardbase.

I used natural color Neenah cardstock for the thank you die and the cardbase.

It should’ve been a fast card but since it was an indecisive day… lol It’s important to be happy with the card when done though, so I persevered! lol

Linking up my card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Anything Goes!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Check out the new release! I bought a couple more things from it that I need to make up! I’m running out of May though! lol

Guesting at AAA Cards Challenge…

May 2, 2021May 1, 2021 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s my privilege to play along with the AAACards Challenge blog today! We would love to have you join us! Here’s what you need to know…

I do enjoy making CAS cards and I’m always inspired by challenges!

I just woke up the other morning thinking about my speech bubble stamps and dies, so I got them out and started. This was first out of my brain and I liked it and even though I thought I’d try another I didn’t. I always think I’ll do more than I do! ha

Here’s a picture of the card I made and entered into one of the AAA challenges and won with my card for this new challenge. Click ‘home’ and scroll down a few posts and you’ll find the thank you card.

I’m thinking this CONGRATS card is especially fitting for this time of year and could be switched up easily for many occasions. Blue for a baby boy sentiment, pink for a baby girl, it doesn’t have to be just graduations! But you could use the school color!

I really like it and I hope you’ll take up the challenge! Once you get started making CAS cards it’s so fun! 😀

I took a close up picture of this cute washi tape that I’m gonna use to close the envelope… perfect! ❤

This is the mini slimline size card…3 ½ x 6 inches.

Thanks for stopping by today and I apologize for accidentally hitting the publish button earlier which ended up in you receiving an email too early! ugh! I had made a change and normally it would say ‘update’ but because I’d already saved this post as a ‘draft’ it says publish instead of update! OH GOOD GRIEF! (Charlie Brown) Yes, blogging is a challenge too! lol

Have a good rest of the week and try making a CAS card and linking it up!
