Tim Holtz Fresh Brewed Sidekick Side-Order Birthday Card…

January 31, 2025February 2, 2025 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Wishing you a warm birthday card… So much potential for this set for any occasion! Make it flakey!

Once again I was inspired by a gal on instagram….I’ll link to her on my post there.

The NEW Tim Holtz Sidekick Side-Order set, thinlets dies and a texture fades embossing folder.

I embossed the folder, trimmed it down, inked it with some Gathered Twigs distress ink and glued it directly to a white Hammermill cardbase.

I die cut the sentiment from Tim Holtz Thin, Sentiment Words die set. I used scor-tape on the back so I could just insert the blue letters back in. I can’t find this set to link to.

Die cut the mugs, steam and snowflakes. The snowflakes are from the Tim Holtz Twig and Stump die set. I can’t find this set to link to. I used the super thin mounting tape I love so much, on the mugs! It’s sticky so I use the scissors I’ll link below.

So fun…you could easy just use paper scraps and come up with all kinds of designs for all seasons!

Linking my card to some challenges…

Hi everyone! A little bit festive still this month. I didn’t want to post these until they were received!

For this first card I was totally inspired by a gal on Instagram. I’ll link to her over there. Link to my grid in the right sidebar under the follow option.

I used some new Tim Holtz dies and a stamp set for the sentiment. I’ll link below.

Soooo CUTE! I love this guy…I picture him singing loud and clear for all to hear! lol

My second card is The Greeting Farm Holiday Anya for Christmas 2024. I alway love these and collect them for myself and our granddaughter Anya.

I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copics.

I cut them out with the Scan n Cut. I prefer buying dies but if there aren’t dies to coordinate I love using the Scan n Cut. I purchased mine several years ago, right before they came out with the new, quiet one! haha I sure love the thing though… I’ve had really good luck with it!

She’s so cute and I love the other images that came in the set also! So much fun to color and easy to color too!

My pictures turned out good this time so I’m just gonna load them all into the post! lol

one more…

I linked her to the Four Seasons Winter January Challenge….

I hope you are all having a beautiful January start to 2025! Gotta remember to write and type that right!

I’ve been hibernating…so cold in Iowa! It warmed up a little bit yesterday…good thing cuz I needed to go out! lol

It’s That Time of Year… Diecember at Simon Says Stamp!

December 2, 2021 Pam Sparks8 Comments

I have a card to share with the die Simon Says Stamp sent to me to make with. Fine Textured Leaf die, designed by Memory Box.

You can see the two dies that come in the set off to the sides in the pictures. I used the smaller one to make the wreath on my card.

I die cut it 11 times in watercolor paper and then painted it with Distress Ink Reinkers. They look really dark in the pictures, not sure why, but they aren’t this dark IRL.

I used one of the plaids from Memory Box new 6×6 paper pad called Woodsy Plaids.

I die cut the Memory Box new Merry Christmas Posh Script in white and colored them with the E 80’s copics.

I die cut the bow with a die from the Sizzix Festive Greens set #662425, a Tim Holtz set. I used watercolor paper again and colored it with a copic B93.

Very non traditional colors… I attempted to add some red. Couldn’t do it. lol

This wreath would’ve been striking on white if I’d realized how it was going to photograph! and red!

Lots of potential for a million cards with this die set! Very fun making wreaths! and that big leafy die!

This card ended up 5 ½ x 5 ½ inches square.

Thank you for stopping by today! I’ll get back to my house… I’ve made a mess getting all the decorations out. This nine foot tree takes a lot of stuff! haha

Enjoy this new release! Lots of beautiful dies! Here’s to shopping! Links below.

PTI Christmas Card for stamp club

November 30, 2016 Pam Sparks19 Comments

Hi everyone! Here’s the card I made for our area stamp club gals! PTI (Papertrey Ink) had a challenge going on for assembly line card making so I had to enter. hehe

Dorothy had my name in the gift exchange and she gave me this old Santa Memory Box stamp that I wanted. She got it last year in the club gift exchange! It was so fun to open it and see she’d given him up for me! One of the other things in the package was this Sizzix tree die that I used on a thanks card that I mailed to her. Hopefully she’ll get it before she sees this! hehe A fun time was had by all! We missed the gals that couldn’t be there though!
