Merry Monday Christmas Challenge…

May 13, 2016May 14, 2016 Pam Sparks39 Comments

Hello stamping friends! So many fun challenges right now. I just had to jump in for the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge this week, woodgrain, kraft and white. YES! I have to admit, it was hard not to use red and black too though! lol

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge – Emboss it

Craft Stamper, Take it Make it Challenge – Anything Goes

I used SSS dies and stamps on this one with the exception of the woodgrain being from Lawn Fawn and the banner from MFT. I will put links below if you want to know the exact products.

I stamped with the MISTI on the banner and embossed with Versamark and detail white embossing powder. I did use the anti static powder first too…that especially helps with the fine, detail powders.

I edged everything with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool.

I have a second card too! This was actually the first card I made for the challenge. lol I couldn’t stop with just one!

Here I used Memory Box and poppystamps dies. I inlaid the circle snowflake die and the center hanging snowflake dies. So, I’m linking up to a couple challenges for inlaying and also…

Both of my cards today are A2 size and top folding. I added some glitter domes and clear sequins to bling it up a little.

Thanks for stopping by today! Can’t believe it’s Friday already! Time flies when you’re makin’ cards! hehe

Oh my, sharing the card I made with Simon Says Stamp’s NEW release “My Favorite”. Love the bike…love the flowers… and then critters with personality! Click on over to see the full release HERE.

SSS sent me the new Cuddly Critters stamp set to color up. I used Copic Sketch markers in the Warm grays 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7. I stamped him twice, cut him out completely once and then cut just his arms out of the second image, so he could hold the heart.

The grass is Mowed Lawn and then Twisted Citron Distress inks, blended on with the mini ink blending tool, under the stitched line .

The sky is Tumbled Glass with a little Broken China, blended on with the mini ink blending tool, above the stitched line.

I die cut the frame with SSS Stitched Rectangle dies. The stitched grass line is from The SSS Stitched Slopes and Hills die set.

The heart is die cut from a Memory Box stitched heart die set.

CAS(E) this Sketch #167….

April 12, 2016April 13, 2016 Pam Sparks16 Comments

Crazy thing…I thought, oh, this looks like a fun sketch…take the challenge Pam!

Hey, CAS is hard!!! lol Three cards later and I give up! lol

First card…I thought, use the Memory Box Grand Happy Birthday! Brilliant! until I decided to keep it all Memory Box dies/stamps. Didn’t really have a MB stamp that would work… I tried a few different alphabets…oh eek…should’ve started over but nah, try something else! haha I’ll show it to you anyway. I love enamel dots! lol

Then I remembered these old Spellbinders labels and decorative dies….sure…give it a try or several tries! lol

Be kind now…quit laughing! I knew it, I shouldn’t have posted this one! lol

I really like the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies though, don’t you?! lol

I’m gonna be courageous and link up this next one to the challenge…

and tell you all thanks for hanging in here with me! The thanks is a cool poppystamps die! The label is an old Spellbinders and there’s that SSS Stitched Rectangle set again.

I experimented and took a picture with my phone. Amazing… I did edit some but still…the quality is crazy good!
