Relax….another boat!

Pam Sparks28 Comments

*****

I’ve never been in a sailboat so I don’t know if it’s relaxing or not!  I’ve been in several fishing boats and as long as I have a book… it’s relaxing! hehe

This is a Marianne Design Sailboat die, Classic Boats… if you live close to me… the Craft and Hobby Shop in Ottumwa can get it for you!  Online,  check it out HERE.  I embossed it while the cut piece was still in the die…then turned it over and with the ink blending tool I inked it with Distress inks, Brushed Corduroy and Tumbled Glass.  White Distress Stain and white pen on the tips of the waves and torn water card-stock.

The “sun”  so to speak is a stamp from a clear stamp set that Alice made me buy! OK,  she didn’t make me but when she pointed out the potential I grabbed it quick!  I am so glad she did!  It’s called Time Traveler by Tattered Angels… it’s been a couple years but I keep my stamps!  I might need them someday and sure enough… I’m always glad I have them!  There’s that Fiskars wave border punch again!

Linking up to Stretch My Stamps post by Virginia  HERE.  I just used part of the month/date circle stamp and then I used it for a sun instead of what it was meant for!  I love it!

The little seashell is from CC Designs NEW for Summer Sugarplums Beach kit!  LOVE it!  The word “RELAX” is from a CC Designs NEW for June Oh So Beachy Sentiments set… on the inside it says, “it’s your day!”

I’m going to use this for my swap card this afternoon at stamp club.  Glad Carolyn picked this theme because I needed to use this boat stuff!  So guess what… I’m on a boat kick… a couple more to use!  oh no! hahahahaha

I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest and I’ve been making badges for Tilda’s Town Challenges with the polaroid look… very fun!  Have a sailin’ good weekend!

Tulip Time…

Pam Sparks21 Comments

A pretty little Dutch girl… perfect for Tulip Time in May!  Marianne Design EWS 2203 is the clear stamp I used.  She is inked and stamped with Colorbox Wicked Black ink on Canson Manga Drawing Heavyweight card and colored with Distress markers.  I used a sentiment from Marianne Design Stampfairy Cling Stamp Sentiment set. It’s really a clear stamp set but they call it cling.  They stamp up really well on Bazzill texture card-stock using Versafine Onyx Black ink… surprising!  It’s hard to stamp words on Bazzill usually!

Tulips, Anja’s Leaves (new this month), fence and grass dies from Marianne Design too.  Charming dies and so fun to create little vignettes with!

The oval is a Spellbinders Floral Ovals die and the corners, an old Cuttlebug corner die.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I love sharing with you all and appreciate your kind comments and sharing tips for all this creating we do!  Have a beautiful, thankful week!

I’ll be back tomorrow with the new Sugarplums kit from CC Designs!

May Day’s around the corner…

Pam Sparks12 Comments

How about a Marianne Design May basket and some sweet little flowers just for you!  The teeny little leaves come with the basket die.. a little rose too but I didn’t use it this time.  The “just for you” are new word dies… cool!  Several words to mix and match!

One of my favorite things to do with die cuts is to cut 3 or 4 and layer them together…started it years ago and still love the look… hope you can see how it enhanced the words and the basket… yes,  I did get a little gluey! hehe

I love the MME paper pad… and especially this floral piece… course you know that.. I used it last week too! lol

A  Martha Stewart border, a Marianne Design stitching stamp and it’s good to go… oh,  don’t forget the Spellbinders Nestabilities!

Kinda charming!  Hope you have a fun weekend planned with some stamping and flowers  involved!  AND some shopping!

I checked All That Scraps for the latest and see the Magnolia stamps, dies and even the new magazine are all 50% off HERE!!!!  Whoa Nellie!  NEW Bo Bunny paper pads,  TGF, KK, Crate Paper, MFT,  HERE is where you’ll find what’s NEW.  Well, have fun! snicker…*cough*… see ya’!
