Simon Says Stamp ‘In My Heart’ March Release…

March 27, 2026March 27, 2026 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! I have a slim line card to share with you today using the NEW Simon Says Stamp ‘Thanks A Latte’ clear stamp set from the ‘In My Heart’ release.

Look at these critters! There’s a panda also that I didn’t use but would’ve been super cute too!

I used some very old K & company paper. A 12 x 12 paper pad called Wild Saffron. Trying to use some of this stuff I’ve collected over the years!

Linking to the Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge…anything goes.

The Neglected Stuff Challenge…anything goes must use at least one old neglected product.

I used Photoplay’s Circle Windows Etched Die for the background panel. I stamped on Hammermill and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Linking to A Cut Above Challenge – anything goes with a die cut.

Added a little lace down the side. I thought I should get out the machine and stitch this but I didn’t do it. lol

There’s a really fun sentiments in this set covering a lot of occasions.

This fits in the slimline envelope also and will post for one stamp.

My first thought for this set was to make a set of clean and simple cards for a gift but I got started and forgot the plan! lol I still think that would be so cute!

Linking to the Stamping Sensations Challenge….Spring or anything goes.

Thank you so much for stopping by today….check out the NEW release HERE. Links to what I used below.

Spellbinders NEW Windmills and Tulips Card…

March 17, 2026March 17, 2026 Pam Sparks4 Comments

Hello everyone! A fun traditional sort of card to share with you today! Coloring the easy way!

A new release, Yana’s Tulips from Spellbinders. I’m using the NEW Betterpress plate and stencils for coloring!

I ran the plate through the die cut machine with the Betterpress Windmills and Tulips plate inked with the black Betterpress ink pad.

Then I colored using the coordinating stencils, Distress ink pads and mini ink blending tools. So easy and FUN!

I like to use the Wendy Vecchi Make Art Station for stenciling.

I hoped the letterpress look would show in my photos. You’ll have to trust me that it really is letterpress! lol

I used an old SB die set to die cut the panel. I thought it was still in the store but I don’t see it to link to.

The sentiment I used is from Yana’s Special Sentiments Glimmer set but I did it with the Betterpress system and black ink instead of foil.

I added a little gingham bow.

It’s an A6 size card because I wanted some white border. It will still mail for one forever stamp.

We live in a Dutch heritage area so this card should be a hit! Tulip time is coming!

I’m linking my card to some card challenges…

Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Moments Release Bunny Bonanza Cards…

March 4, 2026March 8, 2026 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s time for Easter and Spring cards already! I don’t know about you but I’m still getting used to the idea that it’s 2026! And here we are at time change this weekend!

I had fun coloring this cute bunny set and getting out the sewing machine too!

I used a Lawn Fawn Rainbow Perfectly Pad 6×6 paper pad and Hammermill cardstock to stamp and Copic color on.

It must’ve been a good picture day because I have too many photos today. oops!

This is an A2 size card. I mounted the images with really thin mounting tape and the lightweight twine doesn’t stick up so it will mail for one forever postage stamp.

Bright colors for me but I like it!

Now for my second card…

I kept this one CAS – clean and simple. I did try a few other things but came back home so to speak to clean!

I used Lawn Fawn and Memory Box stitched dies for the rectangles and square die cuts.

Images on these cards are stamped in the MISTI stamping tool.

I stamped and colored on Hammermill cardstock with Copic Sketch Markers.

A2 size again…very easy to mail!

I did a little ink blending around the edges of the shapes just using the ink that was in the brushes already.

Such cute bunnies! just make you smile! Holler if you have any questions!

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 February Release Flower Cart Card…

February 20, 2025February 20, 2025 Pam Sparks4 Comments

Hi everyone! Some fun, floral die cutting happening around here! Talk about sweet little flowers! Super cute set!

Straight forward die cutting! I didn’t use any stamps! A little Copic marker though but no ink blending which is unusual for me too!

On can never have too many birthday cards in the stash! I used the Simon Hurley Handwritten Sentiments die set for the happy birthday greeting.

I wanted to add some clouds in the sky and thought, why not make it the sentiment in the clouds!

It’s an A7 size card…move over Hallmark! haha

I pretty much used scraps except for the background and cardbase!

Thank you so much for stopping by today…we need the thoughts of Spring in Iowa today…. -8˚ this morning when I got up. BRRRRR Next week shows warmer….we’ll appreciate it!

Here’s what I used to make this card…
