Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms and Memory Box Garland 6×6 Paper…

April 18, 2023April 18, 2023 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! Remember my purple and kraft card a few weeks ago? I made this at the same time. I had made up a bunch of Be Bold Blooms flowers and was using them up. I’m finally getting this card posted!

I know, it’s a little unusual but I like it! I really like it in real life! Come on over to see it! I wish! lol

I have several pictures…

This is paper from a Memory Box 6×6 paper pad that I’ve struggled to use but now maybe since I took up the challenge I’ll keep going and get it used! It kinda reminds me of my quilting days. The gals in the quilters guild told me I was too ‘matchy’! lol My cardmaking journey has been trying to loosen up and not be so matchy but not sure it’s working! haha

I like matchy! So I’m ok with it but I do try to be a little more out there sometimes! Why the revelation you ask? Who knows! lol

I used Bazzil Cardshoppe cardstock for the flowers…

Taylored Expressions Strip stamps and die for the sentiment. Is this too bright for a sympathy card?

I can change it to a birthday card if you all vote that it is!

That’s the end of my photos so I’ll stop talking now! haha

Spellbinders April 3D Embossing Folder Club…

April 13, 2023April 14, 2023 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! I kept this card clean and simple… A7 size. Embossing Folder FUN! ❤

Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide swiped directly on the smooth side of the NEW April 3D Embossing Folder. I love it! So many different ways to ‘do it up’!

It’s really a greener green in real life.

I used the Best Wishes sentiment from the April Large Die of the Month Club set.

‘From All Of Us’ is from the Essential Glimmer Sentiments Hot Foil Plates set. A neat variety of sentiments!

One thing I tried but didn’t finish was, after I did this same first step, I took another color oxide ink pad and swiped it over the top/raised areas and it worked great too! Lots of ideas out there! People are so creative!

Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Club…

April 12, 2023April 12, 2023 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! Two pink cards in a row! That’s amazing for me! Paper flowers coming at ya!

I started with the NEW Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Club set (linked below). There’s a lot of dies in these sets. This versatile set can be used as a complete background panel, a background panel with the outside edge die cut around the pointy pattern, a frame with the center and the outside die cut or a frame with just the inside die cut out! That’s a lot of bang for your buck!

I used it as a complete background with the decorative pattern die cut into it.

There’s four sentiment sets too! The outline image and the layer! So pretty too!

I decided to add some flowers and an extra little sentiment near the bottom.

I die cut a bunch of the Mini Blooms and Sprigs set… fun little flowers to make bouquets with.

Super fun Spring-y A2 size card that’s really fun IRL! I’m happy with it! YAY!

Spellbinders April Stamp and Die of the Month Club and Small Die of the Month Club Cards…

April 4, 2023April 4, 2023 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Getting my floral on with the NEW Spellbinders clubs this week!

Two cards to show you using the NEW club kits coming real soon!

For the first card I used the Stamp and Die Club of the month and for the background I used the Small Die of the month set. So pretty!

My second card I used two floral sections of the Stamp from the stamp and die club to create a wreath! So fun!

Here’s a couple pictures that hopefully will help you see…

then the dies for the stamp set…

Fun to make so many different looks with this set and a great variety of sentiments with dies for them too!

If you look real close you can see I die cut the top right double flower and the bottom left flower and pieced them back in for this card. Those are also the pieces I used to make the wreath… five of each.

I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

This card is A2 size…

My wreath card is 5 ¼ in. square card…

I stamped with Memento Tuxedo black and colored with Copic Sketch again for this one. I stamp and die cut before I color.

I really like that it’s easy to get the margin the same around the whole image when you die cut with these dies.

Lots of pictures today! Crazy how some days are better for taking pictures. Here we are at a season change again which means adjustments!

Here’s where you can find out about the monthly kits from Spellbinders Paper Arts…so many great stamps and dies! The kits go ‘live’ on the 6th! (that’s the day you can start signing up for them)

A BOGO SALE going on also!!! Check it out HERE! All kinds of wonderful included!

Have fun looking around and holler if you have any questions. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms Birthday Card…

March 31, 2023April 1, 2023 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi friends and cardmakers! Hope you’re having a beautiful week! I needed some birthday cards this month so I finally put to use these florals that I’d put together last year! I die cut a bunch of Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms from different Bazzill Card Shopped cardstocks, glued them up and there they sat in an envelope box lid! So many gals have used these dies… I’d guess they were the most popular floral set of 2022!

I used a poppystamps Double Stitch Rectangle Frames die to showcase the bouquet.

A Taylored Expressions Sentiment Strip.

Some Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Micro Squares to mount the flowers. These worked out really nice because I needed to stick stems under!
