Spellbinders Window With A View Cards…

March 12, 2024 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi friends and cardmakers…a dose of Spring for you today! February brought us a new collection by Tina Smith and I’m late getting cards made and posted. Isn’t that owl cute! and the little birdies!

The options for this collection are endless! I had to make the window up with pots and plants! Our daughters and one granddaughter are really into plants…a couple friends too…so I’m sure I’ll use this card!

The whole time I was making it I wished I knew the names so I could print them on the little signs! lol

I’m not much of a plant person. I have a huge Norfolk Island Pine that I’ve had over 30 years, Boston Ferns, a Thanksgiving Cactus and a beautiful poinsettia that didn’t die after Christmas! Amazing! First time one has ever lived that long for me! lol

Back to the cards….I die cut everything and glued it up, mounted the tree and bird bath with the thin mounting tape I love.

Ink blended the background panel with my blue and green oxide brushes…I didn’t add more ink.

Stamped the sentiment but dropped the ink pad on the card so I had to add a panel on the bottom. ugh The sliver of green cardstock helped too. lol

More simple die cutting and gluing. The window in an A2 size panel, then a piece of navy cardstock behind.

I mounted the pots with my favorite thin mounting tape and stamped the sentiment with the MISTI.

So many neat sentiments in the coordinating stamp set!

Holler if you have any questions and I’ll get right back to you!

Thank you so much for looking today! Links below to the products I used to make these two cards!

NEW dies! Memory Box Clara Blooms, Sitting Sparrow and Happy Easter Dover Script…

March 7, 2024March 7, 2024 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hello! Welcome to a blog post with Spring vibes again! How in the world did it get to be March already! I feel like I’ll be forever trying to catch up this year. It’s ‘after wedding’ time for our family and adjusting to the anti climatic period! lol So here’s a card for Easter!

I fell in love with this new Clara Blooms die…I used two pinks and mint green to die cut. So sweet! I also used the darker pink to die cut the top layer of the new Happy Easter Dover Script and a dark teal to cut the underneath layer…both the same size, I just offset them a little for a shadow effect.

I die cut the new Sitting Sparrow in some old Bazzill brown cardstocks and the Woodgrain Bird House in one of the reds from the new Blush 6×6 cardstock pad. Gorgeous colors!

Can you guess where I got the inspiration for the background on this card? Let me know in the comments! hehe

I die cut the oval with the Studio Oval Layers and inked the edges a bit with Distress Evergreen Bough and the mini ink blending tool.

No stamping on this card!

I hope you love this as much as I do… the bird is so neat and easy to put together too! As well as the birdhouse and the flowers!

Change the sentiment for any occasion! yay! This is an A2 size card…

Spellbinders Stencil of the Month Club Card…

February 15, 2024February 14, 2024 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hello! Welcome to my post for the Spellbinders NEW Stencil of the Month Club! This month is a variety of stencils and I just used one of them!

On Neenah Classic Crest Solar White I inkblended with Peacock Feathers, Shaded Lilac, Peeled Paint and a little Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink and ink blending brushes.

Spattered on some water droplets and then white drawing ink.

Next I hot foiled a sentiment to vellum in Silver but it didn’t show up as good as I thought it should so I put a strip of green cardstock behind it. I taped the green strip down, then wrapped the vellum strip around to the back of a panel so I didn’t have to use any glue or tape on the front.

I used a little white gel pen on the Be Bold Blooms die cut flowers. Simple flower arranging…

Fun to have another card for the stash!

Thank you so much for stopping by! The sun is shining and making me sleepy! lol Talk to you again soon!

Simon Says Stamp House Border Frame and Doodlebug Designs Happy Home Card…

January 20, 2024 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! I just got this NEW House Border Frame just in time to make and give away!

I stamped a little outdoor scene with Happy Home stamp set from Doodlebug Design and did some sloppy Copic coloring!

The little roof sections are a separate die so that’s nice and adds a little dimension. I die cut them in black and glued them on.

Welcome to the neighborhood is from the stamp set also.

Spring is coming, right?! lol A person can always think Spring no matter that it’s below zero in polar Iowa right now! lol

I used a dot paper from Hobby Lobby and the stripe from My Favorite Things.

The banner die is from poppystamps.

It’s an A2 size card. Delivered with a loaf of homemade bread! yay!

Happy weekend to you and thank you so much for stopping by!

Spellbinders Breezy Swing Small Die of the Month Club for August…

August 25, 2023August 24, 2023 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! This is a change from the festive cards I’ve been posting. I don’t normally do pastels so this is a real change for me! Such a dainty, lovely lady on a fine Summer day wishing you Hello!

The sentiment is a fun change from the ordinary also. It comes separate so you can use it or not use it!

One of our granddaughters loves to swing…this might just be going to her.

I made it an A7 size so it gives the appearance of being clean and simple.

Decide what papers you want to use, die cut, glue and it’s ready to mail! One postage stamp will do it! YAY!

I used Lawn Fawns Flower Market 6×6 paper pad for her dress and hat band.

I used the branch from the Sweet Birds on a Branch die set. Everything else comes in the set.

Hope she makes you smile! Love the extra little details. Spellbinders is really coming up with some amazing sets!

Learn about the Clubs of the month HERE and this particular Stamp and Die of the Month HERE. Sign up window is from the 6th of the month to the 27th of the month! Three more days to get in on this month!

Thank you so much for stopping by and I have some more Christmas to share real soon…as soon as I get pictures.
