Spellbinders…St. Nick Christmas Wishes Card

August 16, 2024August 16, 2024 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! So fun to think about St. Nick. I’ve always loved to read. When I was a child I had some thick volumes of Christmas children’s books with lots of stories in them. For some reason I remember the ones about St. Nick more than the others!

I had fun putting this guy together! I love how dies are these days, the detail and how it helps you put them together. This St. Nick would be really fun looking more vintage….I need to look around for ideas to do that!

Very basic card…tear a piece of white for snow, die cut the flakes and sentiment in white. I used the stars from the centers of the flakes to kind of accent the Christmas Wishes banner from the NEW Handmade Sentiments set.

Die cut and assemble St.Nick, the lantern and the tree. There’s even a die for a piece to back the lantern!

He also comes with two hat dies so you can take your pick!

This is an is odd size card but will still mail for one forever postage stamp.

Some NEW dies from Spellbinders for my card today… Delivering Joy Sleigh, Handmade sentiments and new to me Nested Postage Labels & Tag.

Not much to tell…die cut and glue together. I used scraps for everything except the postage frame and cardbase! That’s always a good feeling. lol

I pretty much followed the design on the packaging to put it together.

So fun and pretty! I always love Christmas foliage…well anything Christmas and then put it on postal and I’m super happy! lol

Spellbinders Monthly Clubs…last day to sign up for June!

June 27, 2024 Pam Sparks2 Comments

Here I am at the last minute and you still have time to get in on the June Clubs at Spellbinders! Sign up goes through today, the 27th! Go HERE.

I’m using the Stencil of the Month Club on my card. FIVE stencils in this set…3 for the beach balls and 2 to create a Summer scene! BTW a one inch circle punch works to punch out the balls. Hard to tell in my photos but I have two punched out and raised with thin mounting tape.

I used two Distress Oxide inks, Lumberjack Plaid and Prize Ribbon. I also inked a piece of cardstock to make the background blue pieces.

SB All-Star Sentiments (half price right now!) and Simon Hurley Handwritten Sentiments (25% off right now!) for the message. Links below…

It turned out cute considering I had no idea where I was headed with it! lol

I ended up with two different color reds because I grabbed the pink blending brush to do the main red on the ball! oops! But it worked out because the small red circle die using the red brush gave me another red! lol

I’ll add this A2 size card to my stash of birthday cards!

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out Spellbinders! There’s always a great sale going on. I love it!

Spellbinders Stencil of the Month Club and Fresh Picked Angel Trumpets Card…

May 23, 2024May 23, 2024 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! New products from Spellbinders to share with you today! The stencil of the month club is so fun! You can find the details HERE…

I used two Distress Oxide colors, Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio and ink blending brushes on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I trimmed the finished panel down to A2 size. I love it but then I pretty much covered it up! lol

This Fresh Picked Die Collection from Spellbinders is so fun too!

I die cut in color cardstock and then inked in the same two colors I used for the background.

Glued them together and mounted them on the stencil panel with the thin mounting tape I love.

I’m getting a new dishwasher as I’m writing this post. eek! I keep wondering how it’s going and wondering about the noises! lol Excited to get a quiet dishwasher though!!!

I used the Spellbinders Let’s Celebrate Sentiments BetterPress plate and die set but I used it with Silver Hot foil! Worked great! So many sentiments and messages in this set from Yana!

I hope you enjoyed my card and take a look at these new products.

You can still sign up for the May Stencil of the month Club til the 27th! Details HERE.

I’ll link you to everything below.

Spellbinders SimonHurley Tulip Trio Card…

April 30, 2024April 29, 2024 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Move over Hallmark here comes a 5 x 7 card! haha It’s really hard to trim down the large embossing folders sometimes and I needed the space for these wonderful tulips and sentiment!

I pretty much followed the color scheme on the packaging. There are so many pretty tulips this time of year…how do you decide!

I die cut in color cardstock and then inked with Distress Oxide inks and the ink blending brushes. Very fun… I love how easy it is to use the oxides. They match up so well with most cardstocks.

Thinking of you is from the Simon Hurley Handwritten Sentiments set. 24 cutting dies…pretty much words for any occasion! I used kraft and black cardstock thinking dirt! haha

We live close to one of the Dutch areas of Iowa. Tulip Time is coming up in another week. I hope there’s some tulips left! Our grandchildren have been practicing for marching in the band, the Dutch dancing and marching with the homeschool group. So I’m sure I’ll be going to watch it all!

I almost forgot! My white background panel is the Simon Hurley Twirling tulips embossing folder. So pretty. Two cards using it back a few posts.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy the Tulips and or what flowers are you enjoying right now?!
