Spellbinders Little Smiles Collection Card…

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…

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!

Memory Box Lavish Fuchsia Stem CAS Card…

Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! Memory Box NEW Lavish Fuchsia Stem makes up beautifully and fills an A2 size card!

I know, I used unusual colors after flipping through the newer Memory Box 6×6 cardstock pads, Lagoon and Greenery.

A CAS/clean and simple design with a simple Memory Box Happy Birthday Foil Greettings Black Circle Tab.

Right now I’m liking fast cards and I made this in an hour!  YAY! I’m trying to ride my bike everyday…any of you have an electric bike?  Trying to build my confidence with the assist and throttle! lol  A little sidetracked by sourdough too! lol  So fun to watch that starter!

I’ll link up to some challenges…

NEW Memory Box Little Fuchsia Flower Trio and Branch and Hello Breezy Script Card…

Pam Sparks17 Comments

Hello cardmakers and friends!  This NEW release from Memory Box is taking me back a lot of years to when I was so in love with Fuchsias!  Now our daughters are!

They are so fancy! One of God’s truly amazing floral creations! Oh true everything God created is amazing! ❤

I love making clean and simple cards but they are challenging to take pictures of because the pictures never completely do the card justice!

This is such a sweet, delicate die and the sentiment is so neat!  I love this font/look!  I use the Zig Two Way Squeeze Roller Ball point glue pen to glue these.  Works great!  It’s also one time I use tweezers for placement!

I used the thin mounting tape I love so much, trimmed to fit on the back of the floral piece.

I die cut the hello mat three times and glued together so I wouldn’t need to use mounting tape behind.

I die cut the Fuchsia in Taylored Expressions cardstocks and inked with Distress ink pads.  I used single colors but different pressure to achieve the variation.  I’ll link what I used below.

The cardbase and Hello Breezy Script are Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock.

It’s an easy to mail A2 size card.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Holler if you have any questions!

I was able to change the comment section back to what I think it was before the powers that be changed it to what they thought it should be. I’m curious if it works better now.

ttul!  I have some birthday cards to share soon!

poppystamps Whittle Racing Giraffe Kit Card…

Pam Sparks4 Comments

Just to make you smile! A super cute new kit from poppystamps!  Whittle Racing Giraffe!  I didn’t use the race car yet but I think it’d be so cute for a new driver or one that just got their drivers license!

I went with one I could use for a graduate or anyone on their way up the ladder! There are several sentiments included in this cute kit!  All so fun!

I die cut, colored and inked the cuts.  So easy with the lines that impress when you cut guiding you where to color!

Then I chose some pattern papers from the Memory Box Anemone Grove 6×6 paper pad, one for the sky and one for the grass, tore the edge on the grass…. paper piecing the background so to speak! lol

I like it!  the little flowers in the green piece make me think of dandelions or clover!

This is a mini slimline size card. 3 ⅛ in.  6 in.

Wow!  What a busy Spring it’s been! Are you finding that too?

Events with Grandchildren that we love doing.  A wedding!  Last weekend our oldest grandson was in a bike race in Burlington, IA!  That was mind blowing! I cannot believe how fast they can ride those bikes!  One of my sisters passed away last Thursday.  Sad.  I’m 7th of 8 children so three have passed now.   So instead of weddings being the cause of family reunions, now it’s funerals. Not near as fun!

We’re enjoying being outside more for sure! Hope all is well for you and you’re keeping up with cardmaking! hoho!

take care and links below if you want a cute set to make with!
