June 21, 2024June 21, 2024 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…

June 12, 2024June 13, 2024 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.

poppystamps Whittle Racing Giraffe Kit Card…

May 31, 2024May 31, 2024 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!

Memory Box Budding Gladiola Stem Mini Slimline Card…

May 17, 2024 Pam Sparks4 Comments

Hi everybody! Aren’t the flowers beautiful everywhere?! In real life and in cardstock!

I’m sharing a card with the NEW Memory Box Gladiola release….there are several Gladiola dies in the release…all beautiful!

I die cut in white Hammermill 100# color copy cardstock and colored with Copics this time.

I used V12, 15 and 17 for the purple and YG25, 17 and 67 for the green. Simple coloring…

Two NEW 6×6 pattern paper pads too! Gladiola Plaid and Glimmering Gladiola. I used a piece from both pads.

I die cut the rectangle with the Memory Box Slim Basic Rectangle die set. I had to run it through the die cut machine twice though because I wanted it shorter for this mini slimline size.

The sentiment on the front is the Memory Box Posh Happy Birthday Hot Foil Plate and die set. I used metallic cardstock and black hot foil.

On the inside, which I forgot to take a picture of, I used the Birthday Wishes to you on your very special day from the Memory Box Joyful Moments stamp set.

I love this mini slimline card size. 3 ½ in. x 6 in. this time. It’s just a dainty, charming card!

Email me if you have any questions. Hope I didn’t forget anything.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Memory Box Gladiola Blossom and Leaves Birthday Card…

May 3, 2024May 3, 2024 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! Have you seen the NEW Memory Box Gladiola Release? I’m not sure how many flowers we’re up to now but a gal could make a big bouquet if she had a notion to!

Easy card here…I picked two patterns from two 6×6 paper pads, cut them in strips, used scor-tape on the back to hold them together, then glued it to a white cardbase.

I die cut the Gladiola Blossom and Leaves die in Neenah heavyweight white cardstock and ink blended on the colors.

A little Shaded Lilac Distress on the flower petals, then Wilted Violet Distress on the stamens and on the edges of the flower petals.

For the leaves I used Altenew inks, Shadow Creek and Mountain Pine.

I used my favorite thin mounting tape to adhere the flower and a little on the right side of the Happy Birthday to you circle sentiment Greeting Tab.

And it was done! A2 size. I love this green plaid! It looks like the green outside right now! We’ve had lots of rain so everything is growing beautifully!
