May 28, 2020May 28, 2020 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! A card to bring a smile to your face from the Simon Says Stamp NEW Crafty Hugs release debuting today! Aren’t they adorable!

I stamped them with the MISTI and colored with Copics. Brown bunny I used E41, 42, 43, Gray bunny I used W0, 01, 02, 03, Pink furniture I used RV13, 14, Cart I used BG45, 49, Ears and tongue I used R30, R32. A little Broken China and Vintage Photo Oxide ink for the floor and wall to create a cute little craft room scene.

I don’t usually do pink furniture but it just seemed fitting for these cuties! Rainbow order color pencils and the cute little rolling cart!

The card ended up 5 ½ inches square.

Thank you for stopping by today! I’ll link up below to what I used and to the new release! Enjoy!

Simon Says Stamp Luck and Hugs Cards…

May 14, 2020 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Simon Says Stamp sent me this stamp set to play with for their newest release ‘Sunny Days Ahead’! I’m behind but working on catching up! I made two cards to share so be sure to scroll down for the second… 🙂

This set has a ton of images and sentiments! I stamped several in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, die cut them out and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers.

I used a landscape A2 size white cardbase and stamped one of the border images directly on the base using the MISTI.

After coloring, using Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue, I adhered the flowers directly to the cardbase. HUGS is adhered with foam mounting tape overlapping a little bit of the flowers.

A card to cheer I hope!

Next card will be a congrats graduation card…

I went clean and simple here…you know I love this style! hehe I stamped and gold heat embossed good luck from the set, then die cut, popped it up with black mounting squares on a Taylored Expressions Oreo cardstock A2 size cardbase. I stamped the little sentiment on white cardstock, trimmed it and layered it over the top with mounting foam on the left end and liquid glue on the right end.

This could work for so many occasions! Such a fun set…some of the other sentiments… “Can’t wait to see you soar”, “You’re going to be Amazing”, “You’re going to rock this” and so many more!

I used Ranger Detail Gold embossing powder or maybe it’s called super fine.

Thank you so much for clicking over to see my post today! A new release is coming soon so be watching!

2 cards for the Simon Says Stamp Blog Party Today…

April 4, 2020April 3, 2020 Pam Sparks19 Comments

Welcome to the party! I have two cards to share with you today. I have some new Simon Says Stamp Christmas dies and a few older that I decided to use for this post. yay!

As I’m typing this, it’s rainy and cold! Feels a bit like Winter! April Fools! haha

I made this card with the Winter Foliage Frame die cut in green and parts in red and inlaid. The Winter Wishes die cut in red and white. Circle Basics die set for the brown center circle. The May Christmas sentiment is from the Inside Christmas Greetings stamp set.

I cut a green panel ⅛ inch smaller than the A2 white cardbase. I adhered the frame with glue in the center, then mounting tape to adhere the Winter Wishes circle. A little white pen for the berries.

I like it! Festive and bright!

More Christmas cheer on this card! I used the Holly and Berries Tag die, cut in greens and red but I tried to put a big eyelet in the hole and messed it up so now it’s not a tag! I trimmed that part off. I didn’t want to start over! 😀

I die cut three RyLynn Snowflakes in my A2 kraft card panel, then die cut three white ones and inlaid them in the kraft panel, taping them ‘in’ on the back.

I stamped the sentiment from the Fa La La stamp set in the bottom corner.

Die cut the Fa La La die in red and white cardstock and adhere together with Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue.

That’s it! It was fun to get back into some Christmas colors and now I have two cards ready to send! Win!

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, Anything Goes with Gina K Designs…

March 25, 2020March 24, 2020 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s that time of the week! This is my last post as a guest for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this month. Whew, this year is whizzing by!

This week, we’re using Gina K Designs and the theme is ‘anything goes’!

I stamped Gina K Designs Massive Peony Stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. I die cut before I colored with the coordinating die. I also die cut two pieces to glue my colored floral piece to for depth, instead of foam mounting squares or tape.

The background panel is cut 4 x 5.25 inches and randomly stamped with Simon Says Stamp Damask Background stamp and Antique Linen Distress Ink. I was going for a vintage look.

The sentiment is from the same floral set, heat embossed with Ranger Detail Gold embossing powder on vellum, trimmed and wrapped around the damask stamped background panel.

I adhered to an A2 size metallic gold panel and then to an A2 size cardbase.

I hope you’ll be able to join us and link up your creation for this week’s challenge ‘anything goes’! We’d love to see Gina K but you can use anything.

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the Simon Says Stamp Store!

March 18, 2020March 17, 2020 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s time for a new Challenge at SSS Wednesday today! The company we’re featuring on our blogs is Lawn Fawn and the theme is ‘whatever the weather’! So fun! It’s a pretty, sunny day on my card today!

I made a short video so you can see the action…

I used the new Magic Iris dies, Dandy Day stamp set, Reveal Wheel Circle Sentiments, Simple Grassy Hillsides dies and Stitched Rectangles dies.

Here it is closed…

Here it is open…

Aren’t they cute?! ❤

Distress Oxides for the background. Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn and ink blending brushes. I did some water drop spattering on the yellow and green spatters on the grass pieces.

Closed again…

Open again…

These dies are an investment but I can see myself using them over and over again. Two of our grandsons have made cards with them so far. They really enjoyed it too! 😀

I hope you’ll be able to join us and link up your creation for this week’s challenge!
