Baseball Birthday Boy Card…

June 21, 2022 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! Always birthdays happening around here! Rogan turned 8 June 1st and I’m just now getting this posted. I don’t think I’ve gotten all the other birthdays posted either so this is probably good that I’m getting this one done!

I really liked this card! Usually I like to do something interactive but there’s not enough sports stamps in my stash so the interactive part came on the inside. I really like the sets I used though and am getting a lot of use out of them!

I had some baseball washi tape that kinda covered up the fact that this die has scallop edges.

I used An Altenew Alphabet set on the front and the stamps and dies from Sunny Studio and Waffleflower. Here’s another card I used the Batter set for.

Rogan likes to keep busy playing sports or helping his dad.

I loved using the alphabet for his name and embellishing it… now I want to do it everytime but I probably better not. lol

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope your day is a HOME RUN! haha

Birch Press Design Dainty Rose and Leaves Slimline Card…

March 17, 2022March 17, 2022 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends…I’m so glad I can grow flowers with paper! I had fun die cutting and layering these together. There are marks on the cuts so you know where to put the layers! WOW! That helps so much! I use Tombow Mono Multi glue. My tip for using it is to keep the container laying down at all times. Do you have any tips to share for gluing? I’d love to hear them!

I cut a cardbase, 7 x 8 ½ inches and scored the 7 in side at 3 ½ inches for this Slimline Card.

I die cut a white cardstock panel with the Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Slim die set.

Hello is diecut in the NEW Memory Box Black Glossy cardstock with the Birch Press Design Hello Topper die. I didn’t use the backer that comes with it but I need to, it’s cool!

The NEW Birch Press Design Dainty Rose and Leaves Contour Layers I die cut with four of the Memory Box cardstock 6×6 pads. I was brave with color today! lol

I also used the NEW Birch Press Design Tiny Tuft Flowers and Leaves Contour Layers die set. Die cut in the same cardstock colors.

I used mounting tape behind the roses and everything else is glued directly to the panel.

My pictures feel huge but I sized them 200 pix smaller than I usually do. eek! lol I hope they show up on your screen ok! The first four are the same size as the card when I hold the card up to my computer screen.

Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoying this touch of Spring! It’s supposed to get up to 70˚ here today! YAY! ttul!

Memory Box Bennet Alphabet Merry Christmas Card…

November 5, 2021November 5, 2021 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! I challenged myself to use the new Memory Box Bennet Alphabet for a Christmas card this week…then I thought, I’m going to use unusual colors! I always say I’m not a ‘pink’ person but we had three daughters and I dressed them in pink frequently! So…here’s some pink for you!

A Slimline card I wish I could show you in real life! It’s a softer pink, I used Taylored Expressions Pink Champagne cardstock for the pinks and Mint Julep! There are Copic markers to match these cardstocks also. I colored the alphabet layer, die cut from Pink Champagne, with RV32.

I used the Pine Needle Trio dies again. They seem to be making an appearance on my cards a lot these days! lol I die cut them in Mint Julep cardstock then colored them with a Copic G21 to match. The Holly Bundle dies were cut from Mint Julep also, I ran around the outside edge of each holly leaf with the same marker. I die cut the berries from Pink Champagne and colored them with the RV32 and a little dot with a white gel pen.

I die cut a panel from Pink Champagne with one of the Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Slim die set. Then I die cut a panel from Mint Julep with one of the Memory Box Slim Basic Rectangle die set. I went around the edge of this panel with the chisel tip of the G21 marker to make the panel show up a little more.

I layered the panels on a white slimline size cardbase. Several Memory Box Fairy Drop clear domes and it was done.

Have you tried the Slimline and Mini Slimline card sizes yet? It’s fun! Now to make something with kraft, turquoise and red! lol

Have a beautiful weekend! I need to get some shopping done!

Thank you for stopping by!

Memory Box Layered Poinsettia, Slim Confetti Plate, Holly Bundle, Pine Needle Trio and Joy Posh Script Card…

October 30, 2021 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hello! Hope you are having a beautiful Saturday! Here’s a little festive holiday in paper finally! Where did this week go?!

I used some of the Memory Box 6×6 cardstock pads for the poinsettias, pines and holly… I love having the different tones of reds to combine! I didn’t add any inking to the petals but I think that would really take these petals up a notch!

Isn’t this NEW Joy Posh Script die beautiful! I love it in the foil gold cardstock!

I die cut the NEW Slim Confetti Plate in heavyweight white cardstock and left some of the circles in place for fun!

I die cut a piece of gold cardstock with a Memory Box Slim Basic Rectangle die and layered it behind the Confetti panel.

I adhered both panels to a slim line cardbase.

I used pieces of foam mounting tape to adhere the poinsettias on first, making sure there was room to stick the holly and pine under the petals. The Holly leaves are adhered with foam mounting tape also. The Pine Needle Trio dies, I glued directly to the cardbase.

Here’s a couple more process photos…

I used the die package for constructing the poinsettias. In the pictures you see the two main pieces, then you glue the three separate leaves on matching them up too… anyway, that’s what I did! lol

Then I played with placement a little and took a picture with my phone so I would know where to put them when I transferred to the cardbase!

My pictures are all on different days! Different weather conditions every day… so much for natural light! lol

You know the dies are beautiful though because Memory Box dies make the prettiest Christmas cards! You will have fun with these festive dies and they all cut beautifully!

I’m going to go out and enjoy some sunshine for a little while! yay! Take care and I’ll be back here soon!

poppystamps Whittle Dies Series Day Two…

August 29, 2021 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Welcome back to the 2nd day of Whittle cuteness! My first card today I decided to make a slimline card and use the NEW Memory Box Twiggy Alphabet too!

I used one of the pattern papers from the pretty Memory Box Spring Plaid Slim pad and two Memory Box 6×6 cardstock pads, Ocean Blue and Fresh Aqua for the die cut letters.

Then I proceeded to create a little scene below with Whittle Dies…

So cute! I die cut Memory Box cardstock 6×6 paper pads again using Sunny Orange, Berry Red, Earth Neutral and Lush Green. The background/sky/water is from Fresh Aqua.

Nothing hard, I didn’t even do any inking on these die cut pieces! Stayed with the clean look. A little white gel pen at the end.

Next up…moo…bleat! Look at these fun sentiments! poppystamps Whittle Wild Animal Sentiments.

I hope you laughed outloud! hahahahahaha I made one barn… cut it in half and made two mini slim cards!

Look at this cutie goat! It’s so encouraging! lol

I die cut the Whittle Goat in white Neenah Classic Crest and using my TE gray blending brush for oxides, I just went around it with the brush, no added ink. Then I colored the nose and ears with a pink Copic. This was my third try at coloring the goat. I liked it the best.

I did some cloud inking… die cut and colored a fence…die cut some grass and the sun.

Next card….maybe I should stamp, “You’re Kind Of A Big Deal” on the inside! Actually it would work for both cards! lol Same sentiment stamp set.

Here I colored the cow the same way as I did the goat, with the TE blending brush I have reserved for Oxide inks in brown. I just used the dirty brush, no added ink.

I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder on TE Oreo cardstock.

I think she’s barn with it…don’t you?! ❤

Well happy barn day and week to you!

Memory Box Elegant Succulent Sentiments Card…

July 20, 2021July 20, 2021 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! This is a new stamp set from Memory Box with gorgeous succulent floral images and beautiful sentiments that are actually ones you would use! ‘best wishes on your special day’, ‘wishing you the happiest birthday’, ‘just a little note to let you know I am thinking about you’, ‘when times are difficult let hope sustain you’ and the one I used on my card.

I did some distress ink smooshing with a piece of scrap acetate. I like that it’s a little easier to control doing it this way. Acetate to watercolor paper instead of laying the watercolor paper flat on the inky craft mat. I used Peeled Paint, Peacock Feathers and Forest Moss regular Distress Ink pads.

I stamped the succulent bouquet with Ranger Archival ink onto the dried inked watercolor paper. I used a stamp platform so I could ink it a few times.

Then I die cut it out with the coordinating die.

I heat embossed the sentiment in gold powder on TE Oreo cardstock and cut around it with a scissors.

There is another new sentiment and die set from Memory Box that does have coordinating dies. You can see it HERE.

I glued the negative piece to a piece of TE Oreo cardstock, then using mounting tape I fit the die cut back in the space.

I mounted to another piece of TE Poblano Pepper cardstock….I know it’s dark here, hard to tell but it’s there! hehe

To add a little glam, I added some Memory Box Fairy Jewels!

I really like how it turned out. That’s what keeps us making, right?! When we like something! I’m working on birthday cards for boys… Corrin turned 12 on the 7th, Cedryk turned 9 on the 18th and Henry is 15 TODAY!!! How in the world! These kids just keep getting older! I love ’em! For a mom of girls to have 11 grandsons, it’s pretty amazing! lol 6 granddaughters too!

I better get back to those cards! ttul and shopping links below! Cindy/Starlitstudio is on vacation but will be back shipping Monday. SSS $5 savings code is YUM521 through 8/15.

Memory Box Floral Collage and Birch Press Design Crystal Lingo Cards…

June 3, 2021June 3, 2021 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hello everyone! Here’s to flowers blooming everywhere!

I combined some dies for this card…nothing stamped on this one! I LOVE this Jumbled Line Collage die…new from Memory Box.

The flowers are from the release before this last one. I used the Layered Daisies, Layered Fresh Flowers and Thank You Posh Script dies.

Five of the new Memory Box Fairy Jewels and two of the Memory Box 6×6 cardstock pads. I love that there are three shades for each of the 4 colors in the pads. I used Berry Red and Lush Green.

The Jumbled Line Collage lends itself to any card size. I made this one in the Mini Slim Size, 3 ½ by 6 inches.

Oh the leaves and berry branches are from the poppystamps Woven Basket Pop Up Easel Set.

My next card is Bright too! lol

Here’s a simple slim line card… I ink blended five colors of Distress Oxide onto a piece of cardstock using Taylored Expressions Ink blender brushes. I let it dry overnight and heat embossed with white powder the slim line size stamp from Birch Press Design, Crystal Lingo.

The Happy and Birthday To You stamps are both from the same set and there are dies to cut out the big words.

I colored HAPPY with Copic Sketch Markers.

I used the Memory Box Slim Basic Rectangle Layers dies to cut the stamped panel and the black layer.

It kinda reminds me of a box of crayons! lol

Some beautiful days this week here in Iowa. We live in a big old house with two Central air units… the one for the 2nd and 3rd floor pooped out on us Tuesday. ugh ugh ugh. I like being cool! So, here’s hoping we can get a new unit in fast! It could be challenging, especially sleeping.

I’ll get off and figure out what I need to do next without getting hot! lol

Some of the supplies I used to make these cards… and while I have you here… look at the June Clearance SALE at Scrapbook.com! I found some things I needed for birthdays! yay! Tons of good stuff!

poppystamps Spring is a Time with Leafy Vines Slim Plate and Whittle Birds Card…

April 9, 2021 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! I hope you’re enjoying some nice days where you are! The trees are budding and the grass is green!

I started today by cutting this new Leafy Vines Slim Plate in black…scrapped that. lol I die cut it in TE Toffee and colored the leaves quick with a Copic Sketch YG17 marker. Then I inked the rest with the mini blending tool and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink pad. My go to brown for edging with ink.

Then I die cut a white cardstock panel with one of the New Memory Box Slim Basic Rectangle Layer dies. Using the light blue TE blending brush and Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass ink I brushed in the sky on this white panel. I really like the look of some white space.

I die cut the poppystamps Whittle Birds from white cardstock and inked them with the red TE blending brush. I didn’t add more ink, it already had oxide ink on it.

Then back to Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini blending tool for the rest of the bird. I did the underside with a little brown too.

A black ink pen for the dot in the eyes.

The sentiment I used is from the poppystamps Springtime Fun clear stamp set. It’s a beautiful sentiment but I cut it up for this card! It fits back together though. Don’t panic! ❤ You can almost hear the birds singing!

I heat embossed with VersaMark Ink and Lawn Fawn White Embossing powder on TE Oreo/black cardstock.

I had no idea what I was going to come out with when I started this card! I guess that’s pretty normal for me. lol I’m really happy with it! I love it when I get a surprise like that! ❤

I hope you’ve had some time to be creative with paper and ink or out in the dirt! hehe

Thank you for stopping by! Keep me in your prayers… tomorrow was Breanna’s birthday. My mom heart is weepy. sigh. Almost 6 months since she died. I appreciate it! ❤

Memory Box Dies, Flower, Stems and More on Three Cards…

March 23, 2021April 12, 2021 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hello! I have three cards to share today…starting with the tallest and ending with the shortest! lol For this card I was inspired by a challenge and a way to use the extra flower I had ready. Here’s a link to the challenge…(click on the logo). I managed to keep it very CAS and complete the optional twist also with only die cuts! yay! lol

#thank you so much to the AAA Cards blog for choosing my card as a winner! HERE

I went with the Slimline card size so I could use the NEW Memory Box Slim Diagonal Collage die, the NEW Wildflower Stems die and the NEW Thank You Posh Script.

The flower is cut from watercolor paper and colored with Distress ink refills. Definitely Clean and Simple!

Next card….

I absolutely love this mini slim line size card… 3 ½ inches by 6 inches. I don’t know why but I find it charming! lol

I used the Memory Box NEW Lavender Stems, the greenery from the NEW Daisy Stems and the greenery from the NEW Wildflower Stems.

I die cut from watercolor cardstock and painted with Distress Ink refills again. I don’t know why I reach for these so much. I have lots of other watercolor mediums. hehe

I used one of the NEW Memory Box cardstock pads… I love already coordinated paper! The plaid is from the NEW Memory Box Madras Plaid Blue and Violet 6×6 paper pad. This pad is so beautiful! One side has gold foil accents and the back side is plain. I used the plain this time but wow, the gold sides are so gorgeous!

Sentiments from poppystamps Springtime Fun and Memory Box Big and Little Spring stamp sets.

Next card…

This was my first card with the flowers I cut and painted. From here they got simpler and taller! lol This is a regular A2 size card.

Wildflower Stems, Seed Stems, Daisy Stems on top of the Stylish Rectangle Trio die.

Pattern papers from the Memory Box Garden Folly, Christmas Plaid and Garland Stripes and Dots 6×6 paper pads.

The sentiment is from poppystamps Greeting Basics.

Give me a holler if you have any questions! Thank you for stopping by!

Memory Box All That Happiness meets poppystamps Woven Basket…

March 12, 2021 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Truth! and on the inside I used the word ‘hugs’ from the same new Memory Box All That Happiness stamp and die sets.

I’m having fun using the new Memory Box Slim dies too!

I stamped and die cut one of the floral stamps in the set….simple Copic Sketch Marker coloring, the R30’s and YG61 and 63.

I die cut the basket from TE Toffee cardstock then I remembered my new Memory Box cardstock pads and found the perfect green to die cut the berries. Dies from the new poppystamps Woven Basket Pop Up Easel Set.

A little white glaze pen on the berries…

Some baby pearls…

Popped up on mounting squares…

White heat embossed sentiment on TE black cardstock…

My granddaughter Attie sent me some pictures of her flowers popping up from the bulbs she planted last year. It’s so fun to have a 17 year old so excited about growing flowers and food! Her watermelons were the most amazing things ever last year! Huge and delicious! Here’s hoping it’s a bumper crop this year! lol

Memory Box and poppystamps Slimline Cards…

March 5, 2021 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! A post today showing more new dies from Memory Box and poppystamps! Memory Box is known for it’s butterflies!

Two new ones… so pretty! These could be made up so many different ways and here I am doing monochrome! lol

Sylvan Butterfly is the larger die set and Glade Buttlerfly is the smaller die set.

I chose the new Memory Box Happy Easter Posh Script die for the sentiment at the bottom but there are a few other new sentiment dies that would be beautiful also… Thank you Posh Script, Just a Note Posh Script and Birthday Mail Posh Script.

I did some inlaying with the new poppystamps Slim Leafy Collage die. I cut in two colors and stuck the pieces back in. It’s pretty with them left out too. Just something therapeutic about using the pieces laying there. lol

For both my cards today I used the new Memory Box Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die set… this is a cool set. I especially love the smallest two for sentiments! Trim to length!

My next card is another slimline…

I used the new Memory Box Spring Plaid Slim paper pad! Almost too pretty to use! I’m proud to say I used two pieces! lol It took courage I’m telling ya’! lol

The gingham piece I die cut with the new Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Slim Rectangles. The plaid panel is cut with the Slim Basic Rectangle Layers… kinda nice you don’t have to measure!

I LOVE the new Memory Box Wooden Alpha!!! I used them for SPRING today but I’m thinking masculine next! So fun!

The light is changing again and always throws me off for taking pictures. If you want to get a better idea of what the green color is… I stamped ‘happy’ from the new Memory Box Big and Little Reverse Words stamp set with Altenew Frayed Leaf stamp pad! I tried several greens and this one was right on as far as matching this gingham paper.

The purple I used for the Wooden Alpha is from the new Memory Box Twilight Purple 6×6 cardstock pad.

What better to put on a SPRING card than flowers and this new Memory Box Gerber Stems die set is perfect for this card! Sweet blooms that will be beautiful colored too! Our middle daughter had beautiful Gerbera Daisies for her outdoor, wildflower setting wedding. Good memories!

Holler if I missed something. I’m not sure what the standard size, if there is one, is for a slimline card. These both ended up 8 ⅝ ths long and 3 ⅝ ths wide. I finally wrote down what size to cut the base so I don’t have to keep figuring it out every time! ❤

Have a creative Friday afternoon! Thank you for visiting my blog this week!
