Spellbinders Copperplate Happy Anniversary Card…

July 15, 2025 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone and happy anniversary to someone somewhere! A new collection at Spellbinders for the Betterpress machine! Copperplate calligraphy sentiments. Happy Birthday, Happy Everything, Heartfelt Sympathy and Hope You’re Feeling Better pretty much covers everything!

Here’s a close up of how beautiful this impresses! I used Silver Delicata ink. It’s so great that my old ink pads work too!

I love it! At one point I took some classes to attempt to write like this but alas life makes it hard to practice as much as it takes to master it. I still like to do lettering though! I guess making cards took up priority! lol

I die cut the panel with one of the dies from the Spellbinders Emerald Cut Labels and Tag die set and mounted it on a 5×7 navy cardstock panel. Using the Scor-Pal I embossed the corners because it needed something! The card base is A7 size white cardstock.

The flower dies I used are from the Spellbinders Club Blooms set from January of 2023. Timeless!

A traditional looking, Hallmark size type card!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I have to get started on Christmas in July! How are you doing? Anything Christmas yet? hehe

Spellbinders Classic Road Legends Release…

May 30, 2025 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s been so long since I posted I hope I haven’t forgotten how! It’s been a busy Spring! It’s time to get back to work though!

My two cards today are part of the May release from Spellbinders. So much potential with these sets for all the men’s occasions we make for!

Die cutting and a little stamping is all for this one! On the inside I stamped “Have a wheel-y great day!”

A2 size. I loved the green color of this cardstock but neither my phone or my Nikon could capture it right! It’s much better in hand! Sun is bright this week I guess! The top and bottom strips and center are silver mirror cardstock.

My next card uses the NEW Timeless Truck!

These colors aren’t right either but oh well! lol Use colors you like is all I can say!

Here I used the NEW stencil set, Scenic Drive, for the background… I love stenciling like this!

Then die cutting and gluing the truck together. I love that it’s so easy to tell where the parts go!

Then a little stamping again with the NEW Cruisin’ By Sentiments. It comes with the dies too! I stamped on the inside too. Forgot to take a picture… “Thought you could use a little pick up”.

I made this a square card but it would be easy to change to an A2, A6 or A7 size to mail with one stamp.

Comment or email if you have any questions!

Thank you so much for stopping by to see my cards!

Spellbinders Little Smiles Collection Card…

April 1, 2025April 1, 2025 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Cute card to share today! What a fun set! Paired with Little Smiles Sentiments you can cover a few occasions!

I went with Spellbinders cardstock colors that I had…made a darker pink with a Copic marker and white cardstock.

Basic card… die cut and glue. I did Betterpress the Sentiments. So fun… I love this look!

Spellbinders thinks of everything when they create these sets… There’s black pieces to die cut to glue behind the eyes/nose…so easy!

I cut a strip of gray and added the white lines with a gel pen and a ruler.

I used the Nested Postage Labels & Tag set to make the background, then the stitched rectangle in the set to make the panel, then to cut all the background pieces, cloud borders and road.

The cloud border is from the NEW Bundle of Joy set in the Little Smiles Collection. Links below… I used it to cut the clouds and the faux look of green hills behind the bunny/car. I love how it worked up!

Some glitter cardstock for the hub caps and car lights. I think that’s everything.

Thank you so much for clicking over and have a great week! Cardmaking for me today…family birthday!

Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock…

March 24, 2025 Pam Sparks1 Comment

NEW and so pretty too! I just finished swatching the NEW Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock! LOTS of trios but some duets and quartets too! I love it!

Check it out at the links below and let me know what you think! I’m going to start out with just buying my favorites because I already have so much but if you are still adding to your stash I highly recommend this new release!

I didn’t try to match to ink pads or copics yet. Thinking it won’t be hard though. I’m bad about just doing that when I’m working on a card.

Keeping this short and hopefully sweet! Good information to know because you never know when you might need it! haha

Have a great week!

Spellbinders Bundle of Joy Card…

March 17, 2025 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Welcome Baby! Such a super cute set from Spellbinders Little Smiles Collection for March. I don’t need baby cards very often but this set will be perfect when I do. So adorable!

I finally caved and bought a Betterpress set! I’ve been faking it with the how to’s from you tube but I have to say this is SO MUCH EASIER! lol I’m glad I bought it!

I used the new Little Sentiments Betterpress set. It’s great… you do a bunch of sentiments at once, die cut them all at once too! Not my normal way of doing things because I’m not one to have the bowl of unused stuff on my table to work from. I like all these though! lol

The purple of my card is brighter than it’s showing up in my photos. I don’t know how to fix that. I used my camera instead of my phone this time.

So basic die cutting here, easy compared to taking and editing pictures! hohoho I love the stork’s usps old fashioned hat! I don’t know if they wear these anymore. Last week I saw the carrier and he had green hair soooo I guess they’re leprechauns now! haha

It’s an A2 size card. I used the Essential Arches Die set for the panel. The cloud border and stars are in the Bundle of Joy set. Super fun! There’s another cute set from this Little Smiles collection I’ll be showing you soon. There’s an embossing folder and Betterpress plate also! I’ll link the whole collection below.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Happy cardmaking week to you!
