Impression Obsession Snowman With Fence Birthday Card…

February 4, 2020February 4, 2020 Pam Sparks8 Comments

January is a big birthday month for our family… I’m behind posting my cards! This one was for our youngest grandson Charles… he picked out the stamp. I made him another interactive card that I was experimenting with that he loved. I need to improve on it though to make that one post worthy! lol

I stamped this on Canson Smooth Bristol and watercolored it with Zig Clean Color Brush markers.

Definitely a jolly, happy soul! I used some Nuvo Crystal Drops gloss white on the snow.

I stamped the number 5 on one of the new poppystamps Heart Tag Trio. The snow is from a new poppystamps Whittle Cloud Border die set. Both die cut in white cardstock. I love how fluffy it looks as snow!

The sentiment Birthday Boy is from poppystamps Sentiments of Hello stamp set, inked up with Taylored Expressions Cookie Monster Ink. Taylored Expressions cardstock, Confetti Cake for the card base also.

Thanks for stopping by today! I have a couple CAS Valentines to post soon, so I’ll be back! ❤

Memory Box Scribble Snowman Card…

October 27, 2019October 27, 2019 Pam Sparks10 Comments

I saw the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches and I had to play! Does that ever happen to you? You see something and you have to go make! If I don’t do it right away I forget and the deadline helps me get it done too! lol

I’m loving the new paper pads from Memory Box so I paired it up with the new Scribble Snowman dies and a new poppystamps Holly Outline die for this quick CAS card!

I do like to edge my pattern papers with distress ink and the round mini ink blending tools. I know everyone is changing to brushes and I have those too but the mini foam works great for edging lightly with ink. I used Gathered Twigs.

I needed words! So I started reading stamp sets. lol This poppystamps Whittle Everyday set had the perfect ones!

Then I had a few snowflakes laying on my desk… oh yes, the snowman needs a flake! haha

Thanks for clicking over and checking out my card! I appreciate your visit! Links below to what I used if you want to see exactly! I thank you so much for clicking and shopping if you do too! ❤

New Memory Box Snowman Circle Collage and Bauble Snowflake Corner Card…

October 16, 2019October 16, 2019 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Frosty here… and yes he does come with two hats and a scarf, so cute! I left him plain jane today but it’s still magical frosty with this beautiful Bauble Snowflake Corner! HERE he is made up (by MB owner, Dave) all colorful cute on the cover of the new Look Book.

I die cut and flat glued everything. Stamped the sentiment with We R Memory Keepers Advanced Precision Press and Black Archival ink.

I added a few baby white pearls on the snowflakes and black tiny gems for his buttons.

A very sweet, clean and simple card. He’ll be back again someday!

I hope you’re enjoying all the new products from Memory Box! During September, Simon Says Stamp had posts on Instagram introducing stamp and die company owners. One they posted was Dave and Monica that own Memory Box, poppystamps and Birch Press Design! So if you click HERE, it’ll take you to that post and you can meet them and see their picture! (you might have to scroll up, over in the text part to read the post) Fun!

Thank you for stopping by! Talk to you again soon!

Up To Snow Good! Last Snowmen for this Winter…

March 14, 2019March 14, 2019 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! I say this every month don’t I? How’d it get to be _________! In this case, March! I still have Winter new stuff to stamp and play with! haha Add it to the stuff from other years, right?! Anyway, this is to cute not to post quick!

This card and the tag coming up are from the Snow Buds set by Essentials By Ellen.

Pattern Paper is from Lawn Fawn.

Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangles are a staple for me! You can find them at Starlitstudio.net, HERE. (it looks like they’re out of stock, the link to contact Cindy is at the very top of the page, if you want to order them)

Doodlebug Twine, another staple… HERE.

I just love snow and snowmen and cute snowman sentiments! AND in this case paper snowballs! ha

Then I cut so many, I made a tag quick too…still have a bunch for another go ’round. ❤

I’ll just call him pail head! I guess all the hats are being used. haha I had to add hearts for buttons.

The love tag is from poppystamps.

It’s almost that time of year to say good-bye Winter. These guys are gonna melt! lol Thanks for stopping by and hope we made you smile!

poppystamps cards…Whittle Snowman and Another Ribbon Heart Frame…

January 25, 2019January 29, 2019 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! I guess I wasn’t finished playing with the new poppystamps Ribbon Heart Sidekick Frame die! lol Here’s another one and I added the poppystamps Birch Stitched Frame from the last release of 2018.

The tree needed hearts! YES!

Give this to your favorite lumberjack! haha

I used various heart dies for the layers. The new Love Jotted Script die works out fun here and a sentiment stamped from the Best Life Typewriter Sentiment stamp set.

The red is redder in real life. I forgot to notice when I was editing the pictures. Not sure what I would’ve done different anyway! lol

Linking my Valentine ‘love’ card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Have a Heart

My next card isn’t a Valentine but it could be! I added a heart for good measure.

This picture captures the color the best and shows the touch of dimension I added by mounting the new poppystamps Whittle Snowman with foam tape. I layered 3 of the Whittle Wood Frames together and layered a white cut and a green cut of the poppystamps Tree Line Hill die. I colored his cap with Copics!

A sweet thank you, from the Best Life Typewriter Sentiments set, stamped in Coffee Archival ink from Ranger. The frame and card base are ink blended with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and the mini ink blending tool.

I think the Studio Rectangle Layers and Shaker Rectangle Frames dies are discontinued but just for a heads up, that’s what I used for the layers.

It just dawned on me that this snowman thank you would be a good Valentine for our mail carrier! She’s grrrrreat! (and it’s 3˚ here today! eek!)

I have some other cards started so I’ll leave you with this for now and be back to share again later! ❤

Happy papercrafting to you!

Two Cards…a Birthday and a Snowman!

January 17, 2019 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! It was Tim’s birthday the other day… I made him a card! He was surprised! lol

This cute little raccoon is old, from Stampendous, the sentiment too. I searched and didn’t find it anywhere but I thought it was fun enough to share and bring some smiles!

Colored with Copics on Neenah 110# Solar White cardstock.

Then our swap at club Friday was a snowman theme. I made this…

It’s from a clear stamp set by Impressions Obsession. I stamped with Ranger Archival Black ink on kraft and colored it with white and blue color pencil. A Memory Box Postage frame die and a little red heart to jazz it up. Add a heart any time you can. lol

A jolly happy soul! May love and laughter light your days and warm your heart and home!

Thanks for stopping by!
