Christmas in July Spellbinders Stamp and Die Set Club Card…

July 11, 2023 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! I had fun with this! If you’ve known me for all the years I’ve been stamping, you know I LOVE brown! haha I stamped and die cut this twice in Hammermill White cardstock thinking I would color it with Copics. I sat down and started coloring one with color pencils! lol I still have the other white one to color with Copics.

I have a deep love for brown…when Ranger came out with Van Dyke Brown all those years ago I bought a few reinkers thinking I’d use it forever! But then Distress Inks and then Gathered Twigs! Gathered Twigs regular Distress is my go to! Do not take my Gathered Twigs away!

I die cut the floral shape, put the waste/frame in the MISTI, lined up the stamp in the hole, put in the die cut, inked up the stamp and stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I used Caran d’Ache Pablo Color Pencils to color but any will work. After coloring I went around the edges with Gathered Twigs and the mini ink blending tool. I just keep this color and this tool handy on my desk all the time!

I embossed the Forevergreen Embossing Folder in TE Cilantro cardstock and inked it with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool. I trimmed it down this time so my card would end up A2 size.

I ink blended a natural linen cardbase with Gathered twigs also. Just around the perimeter.

The panel in the center is a die that comes with the set too! Dies for everything in the stamp set! Such an amazing deal!

I lined up the sentiments in the MISTI and inked up the decorative panel…inked it up with GT also!

Glue on the little gold pearls…adhere everything to the cardbase and it’s ready to mail almost! I need to bring back my last year’s resolution to finish the insides…. ugh. haha

Christmas in July with Spellbinders Large Die of the Month! Super CUTE!

July 10, 2023July 10, 2023 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s hard to believe we’re half way through 2023! It’s nice to get a head start on Christmas cards though!

You have to check out this NEW die set from Spellbinders Papercrafts! I was so tickled to see it! So many favorite things to create with for Christmas!

I have too many pictures again. hohoho

I made this card a little larger than A2 size. It ended up 5 ⅛ in x 6 ⅜ in.

White cardbase, read panel, light green panel then an embossed dark green panel. I love this pine branch embossing folder! It comes in two sizes! I used the Forevergreen A2 size folder. In the Pines is the 8 ½ in. x 5 ½ in. size.

I die cut all the pieces and assembled. I love that there’s candy cane stripes to glue on and multiple berries on dies. I pretty much used everything except the super cute little ornaments and bow! I will use them on another card for sure!

I added a long rectangle from the SB Precision Layering Mini Slimline B set die cut in woodgrain cardstock…like the stocking is hung from a fireplace mantle.

The ginger is totally charming. I added white glaze pen to the icing, eyes, buttons and mouth. It looks so cool in real life.

Spellbinders June 3D Embossing Folder Club of the Month Card…

June 22, 2023 Pam Sparks4 Comments

It’s me again! lol Embossing folders are so much fun! For this one I inked the smooth side with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink, cover it well or like me, I did it three times. It might shift a little, kinda shows in my photos but in real life you don’t see it as much. I didn’t even notice it until after I took pictures!

After embossing I brushed over it with Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink, then some gold rub on stuff then some Peacock Feathers and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink! It was white cardstock to begin with!

I used one of the sentiments from the April Large Die Set of the Month… they kinda look like cookies! lol

Check out all the Spellbinders Club sets of the Month HERE! Holler if you have any questions!

Spellbinders June Die of the Month Set – interactive card…

June 22, 2023 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! I have three Ocean/Near the Sea cards to share with you today! So THREE posts! I know! Annoying to get three emails but I promise that I have never done this before and probably will never do it again!

Here’s a short video of the tricks this octopus and squid can do! It can go faster motion but the video going fast did not look good!

This is a mini slimline size. I’m so tickled with how it turned out!

The background is just my Distress Oxide ink blending brushes on a piece of Hammermill color copy cover cardstock 100#. I used my peacock feathers brush and my brush for greens. I think it looks real watery! lol My brown brush on the bottom. No added ink for any of it, just the ink left in the brushes.

I colored the squid, starfish and seaweeds with Copic Markers.

Water you up to sentiment is from the Spellbinders Clear Stamp and Die Set of the Month for June! A super cute set!

So the details for obtaining the Spellbinders Club offers each month is HERE. So fun! Huge sets and fun creating!

Thank you so much for stopping by and I’d love it if you checked out my other two posts for today too! THANK YOU!
