poppystamps Tall Sketch Daisies Card…

July 25, 2018July 25, 2018 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi awesome cardmakers and friends! I started out with the new poppystamps Tall Sketch Daisies and of course I needed words to go along… the new Memory Bos Awesome Jotted Script fit the bill! The cut apart clear stamped and embossed accessory sentiments came from the poppystamps Sentiments of Hello clear stamp set.

Here’s a side view and you can see I popped up the flower heads with a little foam mounting tape, the words too.

The pattern paper piece is from Carta Bella, the Spring Market 6×6 paper pad. The die cut frame is from poppystamps Double Stitch Rectangle Frames. I like it a lot!

A close up of the top… a little white gel pen detail here and there. A few matte enamel dots…

Close up of the bottom… I love this scripty fun font!

An A2 card, easy to mail, yay!

Thanks for stopping by! It’s a beautiful Summer week right now. Scary storm last Thursday, Tornado 15 miles from us and up closer to Des Moines too.

Take care and I’ll be back soon!

Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Meets MFT BB Rain or Shine…

June 11, 2018 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! Starting out Monday right with a blog post! I have a birthday card to share that I made for our granddaughter Anya’s 13th birthday. She loved it! Now to get her over here to make one herself! 😀

I colored this cute gal and ducks from MFT’s Rain or Shine stamp set with my new color pencils on Neenah 110# Solar White cardstock…inked on the clouds with an MFT cloud stencil and the mini ink blending tool, oh and a little concrete in inked on the bottom and stamped with a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Sentiment stamp set.

It’s a cloudy day here so far…goes right a long with my card! Thankful for the rain though, cuz… the trees you know! lol

I used the Speech Bubble Add on this time to make the window for the sentiments to show up in and four sentiments from the Reveal Wheel Sentiments set.

Here’s Lawn Fawn Kelly Marie’s video on making the Reveal Wheel card. It’s an A2 size card and amazingly easy! yay!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy coloring, card making this week to you!

Memory Box Cheery Flower Collage Meets Carta Bella Spring Market…

June 9, 2018June 21, 2018 Pam Sparks26 Comments

Hi everyone! I was inspired to join in the fun at CAS(e) This Sketch card challenge. I loved the sketch and the inspiration from the team.

So I headed from my computer/library room, down to the other end of the hall to my stamp room and got to work… somewhere between the rooms, I guess my brain didn’t quite remember the sketch exactly. Glad this isn’t a test! lol

I had fun using this die again and this fun 6×6 paper pad that is new to me this Spring.

I copic colored the flowers, leaves and stems, added a little bit of white gel pen and yellow dots in the flower centers.

I used mounting tape to layer up the top panel that I die cut a circle out of with the Memory Box Circle Basics die set.

Then I thought, add a border and this new poppystamps Pierced Borders die was delighted to be used again! The paper and border remind me of the old Susan Branch stamp and paper lines from years ago.

Just enough dimension to add interest but still be A2 size and mailable. I had to tie on some kraft twine…sometimes it just calls to me. lol

The longest part of making the card was deciding what sheets of paper to use from the pad! lol I changed my mind a few times. 😀

Guest Designing at Foiled Fox with Lawn Fawn’s NEW Reveal Wheel Die and More…

June 5, 2018June 5, 2018 Pam Sparks25 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m delighted to be guesting for the Foiled Fox online store blog today! This NEW Lawn Fawn Reveal die set makes up the cutest, cleverest cards that everyone no matter their age would enjoy receiving! Spin the dial and see…well…whatever you want to stamp! There are multiple designs you can change out…the skies the limit! YAY!

It’s so cool how Lawn Fawn thought of everything needed for this type of card! Kelly Marie made a video explaining every detail so you can’t mess it up!

I used the Reveal Wheel Sentiments stamp set for the words, You Are Sublime stamp set, You Are Sublime Lawn cuts, and Porthole Frames Lawn cuts for the images.

Some ⅛ inch brads fit the perimeter of the porthole perfectly!

I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It Copic Coloring Card in the MISTI stamping tool and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

This was so much fun to make! I can see more in my future and unending possibilities! Click over to the FF blog to see a super short video of my reveal wheel turning…then the store! The new Lawn Fawn release is in stock and free shipping with your $50 order!!!

Stampendous Hydrangea Garden Tri-fold Card…

June 4, 2018June 4, 2018 Pam Sparks22 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! How about some paper hydrangeas to hold me over until we have some real life ones! I have to tell you, it’s looking good for some flowers from our 3 new bushes we planted last year though. whew.

So a simple thinking of you card using Stampendous Hydrangea Garden stamp and die sets.

I used a piece of Smooth Bristol card from a 9 x 12 pad, cut to 4 ⅝ inches x 12 inches.

Stamp and heat emboss the Hydrangea, in white, at one end, then die cut stopping at the wide part of the flower stamp. The leaves are separate from the flower head, so I did have to glue them on underneath.

I stamped and die cut 2 extra of the single flower in the set and popped up one on the front and used the other inside… I love it there! Looks like it just landed there! hehe

I colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a little water.

The sentiment is gold embossed and from the Stampendous Fresh Peony Cling Stamp set. Sorry the sentiment is blurry…It was hard to get a picture because the flower end kinda sticks up a bit. It’s so pretty IRL!
