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.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

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?!

Spellbinders Paper Arts April Stencil of the Month Club Card…

April 26, 2024April 26, 2024 Pam Sparks4 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m thinking every cardmaker has dmc floss in their history if not in their craft stash!

What a fun stencil for the club of the month at Spellbinders! I had fun laying out the colors to use the second time. I did a run through with all six skeins the same the first try and it turned out nice but I decided to try again and be more colorful!

I used Distress Oxide ink pads in the colors in the photo. I had pretty good luck with using my blender brushes I have reserved just for oxides! It was a little trickier on the last Delicata Gold color. I was using a dabber and I did get gold where I didn’t want it… thus the sentiment is diagonal! Cover up!!! haha

I used the Happy Birthday foil plate from the Essential Glimmer Sentiments set.

The Tombow Mono sand eraser came in handy for a little erasing on my panel and a teeny place on my hot foil sentiment.

Fun! An A2 size card that will mail easy and make someone smile when they receive it!

Have a crafty weekend or a beautiful time outside if the weather cooperates! I just looked at our forecast and it could be 80˚ on Saturday here in Iowa! I’m looking forward to hanging out my ferns on the front porch again. ttul!

P.S. You can sign up for the Spellbinder Clubs of the Month through the 27th! So many fun sets this month! I’ll link you below! Click or tap on [SPL]

Spellbinders Twirling Tulips Collection Cards…

April 11, 2024April 11, 2024 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Here’s some Spring for you! What a fun collection from Spellbinders designed by Simon Hurley! The Tulip Garden release!

I used the 3d embossing folder for all three of my cards. I used the coordinating stencil set on two of the cards, ink blending with Distress ink pads.

This one I colored with color pencils after using the embossing folder. Very fun and easier than you would think!

Sentiments are all from the new Simon Hurley handwritten sentiment die set.

Here’s some more pictures…

The happy birthday and hello cards are one embossing folder piece. 5 ½ x 8 ½ cut in half at 4 ¼.

Well, then I trimmed them down so I could mat with a small margin of black showing and then cardbases to make A2 size cards.

The congrats card is the whole embossed piece trimmed down to make a 5 x 7 size card.

I used Hammermill smooth color cover white cardstock for the happy birthday and hello card and a textured cardstock for the color pencil piece.

Linking to some card challenges…

Four Seasons April 2024 – Anything Goes Spring Challenge

Stencil Fun April 2024 Challenge – Spring/Flowers

Triple B Challenge – Birds, Blooms, Butterflies

I wish you could see these in person… the detail is amazing and so beautiful! I hope you give this a try!

Thank you so much for stopping by!
