Turn the Page Collection by Spellbinders…

August 10, 2026August 12, 2026 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Spellbinders sent me the dies to this NEW collection but not the whole collection so this is what I came up with using other products I’ve purchased this year! Very fun and I didn’t begin to use all of the options! Yay for timeless though! (Watch for tags coming soon!)

Photo heavy post…

Cookies! Measure, Weigh, Mix, Bake, Cool, ENJOY! And the word RECIPES and rectangle on the front and under Cookies on the next page, as well as the main pages and hole reinforcements are all from the Keepsake Capsule Page Die Set.

I made a video and it’s posted on Instagram HERE. I tried to load it here but I couldn’t get it to work! grrr

The ticket under the word RECIPES is from the Page With Flap Pocket Die set.

The tag with the two cookies at the top and the ENJOY tag at the end are from the Keepsake Capsule Page Die Set.

Everything else is from the Tina Smith baking line of dies and stamp set. I’m just going to link below because it’s pretty easy to see what I used where.

If you have questions be sure to contact me through my email link here. I will answer!

I’m thinking to some challenge blogs…

Can You Handle the Pressure? – anything goes using embossing folders

A Cut Above – anything goes with a die cut (I didn’t do the optional twist)

NBUS #89 – Never Before Used Stuff

Thank you so much for stopping by! TTUL!

Spellbinders Magical Fuchsia Card…

July 23, 2026July 23, 2026 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! Have you tried coloring with layering stencils yet? Do you like it? At first I felt challenged but I’ve persevered and with a few little tricks I feel confident to keep purchasing them because I love the look and I do enjoy doing it!

For this focal point I used the fuchsia plate, which can be used as a betterpress plate or a hot foil plate, with gold hot foil and the hot foil system.

Then I colored with inks and the coordinating layering stencils! Keep scrolling because I have some of the experiments photographed to show you!

I didn’t feel like I found the ideal position for the card photos so I’m just posting more!

I used the Nested Postage Labels & Tag die set for the panels.

The sentiment is from the same set as the fuchsia, the Magical Fuchsia Press and Foil Plate & Die set.

I used my favorite thin foam mounting tape to adhere the postage layer to the cardbase and the fuchsia to the pink panel.

Linking to some card challenges…

AAA Cards #319 – Color Challenge, use 3 of the 4 colors. Look close and you’ll see the orange!

Try it on Tuesday – Summer Blooms

Just Add Ink #790 – Stencils and or Dies, I used both

Tic Tac Toe #297 – first or second vertical rows

NBUS #88 – Mutual Appreciation Celebration!

Now for the practice pieces…

This one I stenciled first then tried to run it through the embossing folder. It shifted. I think I decided it’s better to emboss first, then stencil because you can move the stencil.

It looked pretty bad so I thought why not just use my gathered twigs mini blending tool and give it the aged look! I think I need to do this over because I do like this browning effect! haha, not a surprise to some of you who know my past of making everything brown for a few years!

This one turned out better on the coloring, embossing lining up but then I didn’t get the die lined up well for cutting it out!

I think I embossed this one after coloring with the stencils too… better than the purple one but still getting out of the lines made the die cutting look worse.

Die cutting the foiled image is definitely easier and a better result, the image on my card.

All in all, our cards are handmade which makes them more valuable, right?! lol

Thank you so much for clicking over and I hope you enjoyed this floral break from fishing cards! I do have another fishing card coming for sure and probably some from the past I haven’t posted. Some other cards too! I’m having fun! Happy Summer!

Spellbinders Wishing you a Squeaky Clean Day Card….

June 16, 2026June 17, 2026 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! When I saw this die cut set I thought it was so cute! So many fun details but very easy to assemble! I love that Spellbinders has a page on their website for assembly!

Here’s what I used to make this card. The frame die set at the bottom isn’t on the website anymore. I went ahead and used it because I’m sure I’m not the only one with ‘stuff’ that needs used! I bet you have a collection too! lol

Whoever illustrated this set did such a great job! I love it! I’m not sure who I would send cleaning cards to though….what do you think? I think most of us can relate!

The embossing folder for this Shiny New Day Release has such a fun name! Suds and Buds! So cute!

I’m linking my card to the Can You Handle the Pressure Challenge blog. Anything Goes using an embossing folder! (optional twist which I didn’t do)

and to the Die Cut Diva’s Challenge blog…June is anything goes month using die cuts.

and to A Cut Above Challenge blog…anything goes using dies.

and to Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge blog…any occasion.

and to Farm Quest Home Challenge…anything home related goes!

I kept this A2 size.

I used another sentiment from the Shiny New Day Sentiments for the inside. I couldn’t resist making a pile of buckets!

I hope this made you smile! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Garden Pail Bouquet goes Patriotic! 2 cards…

June 10, 2026June 16, 2026 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone! A friend was showing me some patriotic ideas and it got my brain to working! I thought, why not use some products I already own! So let’s see what you can come up with too!

I used this set HERE when it first came out. I loved how this card turned out!

So change it up to patriotic colors! After all it’s a celebratory year for the USA! Happy Birthday!

I basically just die cut and glued it up like the picture on the die envelope. I added some splattering and white pen…I had a terrible time deciding whether to add the pen lines!

I used the Happy Birthday from the poppystamps Modest Greetings 1 Foil and cut die set…silver foil. The rectangle die comes with it…nice…no scrounging around for the right size rectangle to die cut it!

I used the Spellbinders Nested Postage Labels and Tag die set for the blue and white background panels.

It’s like a sixteenth of an inch larger (on each side) than an A2 size card. I used the super thin mounting tape I like so well so it’ll still post for one forever stamp.

Linking my Garden Pail Card to some challenges…

Time Out Challenges #315 – Summer and vacation!

Just Us Girls #827 – Summer!

Die Cut Diva’s June – Anything Goes!

The Four Seasons Summer Season – Anything Goes Summer!

A Cut Above June – Anything Goes!

The way this die set is made I ended up with some extra flowers… so I made a clean and simple A2 size card also!

I used the Memory Box Posh Hello hot foil plate in the betterpress letterpress with black ink instead of foiling it! It worked!

The red panel is cut with the Spellbinders postage die set I used above and the tiny scallop border is from poppystamps Scalloped Stitch Frames.

I loved how simply charming it turned out.

When you need a quick note or make it for any occasion in any color!

Linking my Hello card to some challenges…

Simply Clean & Simple -Anything Goes CAS!

Beautiful Blossoms #41 – Anything Goes Floral!

Paper Funday #88 -Anything Goes!

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday – add a sentiment!

Spellbinders BIRTHDAY Special Offer for June 2026…

June 3, 2026June 16, 2026 Pam Sparks11 Comments

My first card I made with this cute free die set! Have you heard? Spend $150 and you get this adorable Dragon! I made it up three ways. I think he would’ve been super cute with a grad cap!

This is my second take! I got it finished and looked on the SB website only to find the Sports dies and stamps no longer available! So…. Here are the names of the sets in case you want to try to find them somewhere! All – Star Sentiments STP-209 and Sporting Goods Die set S6-217.

Linking my Birthday Party Time Dragon to some challenges…

Seize the Birthday – anything goes

Critter Crazy – anything goes

Stencil Fun – anything goes using stencils (background layering stencil set)

Die Cut Divas – anything goes

The Male Room #211 – the outdoors

The Pick 3 for May/June – I pick sports, birthday and blue

on to #3! Which can only be a sneak peek! But worth the trip to the Spellbinders Blog to see the whole card and several others from gals that work with SB products! Click, Tap, HERE!
