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!

Memory Box Magnolia Blossom Trio and Vibrant Leaf Corner Card…

May 21, 2023May 23, 2023 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hello! I had fun making some more magnolias this week! Memory Box dies are so awesome to work with!

I used some old Bazzill cardstocks to get two tones but you could easy color the little pieces to get the same efect.

I ended up with a lot of pictures again…

I think this piece of pattern paper I used for the background is my favorite from the New Magnolia Grove 6×6 paper pad.

Not much to tell about this card… die cut, glue, hot foil and adhere the panel to an A2 cardbase.

I don’t know why but I really like this card! The combination of the pretty papers, see the plaid from the NEW Magnolia Plaid 6×6 pad that I hot foiled and die cut with the Rectnalge Double Border Hot Foil Plate and A2 Rectangle Frames Die Set, and the pretty flowers with the Leaf corners…. love!

Unusual colors for me too…

Thinking about sending cards reminds me of the ones I need to get in the mail! Do you have a pile on your desk that needs to go out too?

I hope this brings a little Spring beauty to your day! It does to mine!

poppystamps Floral Vase Pop Up Easel Set Card…

May 16, 2023May 27, 2023 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Hello everyone! It’s Geranium season for hanging baskets around here! Ferns on the front porch and Geraniums on the back porch.

They always inspire me to make a Geranium card!

This poppystamps Floral Vase Pop Up Easel is so cute! It’s not huge, fits in an A2 size envelope but it’s slim and so dainty size wise. I love it!

There’s not much to tell about it! You just die cut the pieces, glue them together and onto the card! I did use my favorite thin mounting tape for the vase and the sentiments.

I wrapped a little twine on it… can I make a card without twine?! lol

So sweet and cute with so many different flower dies in the set you can make any flower you want!

I used poppystamps Modest Greetings 2 Hot Foil and Cut die set and Memory Box Cardstock paper pads.

poppystamps easel cards are all so fun and easy and I love that they are easy to display too! HERE‘s the Geranium I made last year with the basket easel card die set.

Spellbinders May Large Die and 3D Embossing Folder of the Month Clubs…

May 5, 2023May 5, 2023 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Hi everyone! Time to introduce new clubs over at Spellbinders papercrafts! It’s all about birthdays this time and boy they come around faster and faster these days! haha

A really fun 3D embossing folder that my photos don’t do it justice! Getting used to a season change and light with photos again.

The die set has so many dies! You can make the banner as many levels as you want! I was thinking the banner would be great for graduation cards too! Glossy Black! Gold! Silver! Besides the Happy Birthday To You words, there’s Wishes, Enclosed and Sending. FUN!

Then there’s balloons and flowers! Both would be great for any occasion and in any colors!

Also a great way to use up scraps! My card is an A7 size but would easy work for A2 or A6 also!

I’m getting excited about making grad cards now that I’m thinking and talking about it. You could personalize it with alphabet dies or stamps with the name and year too!

To find out about Spellbinders Monthly Clubs, click/tap over to their website HERE. It’s really easy and such a good deal! Links below to the clubs I used today.

thank you so much for stopping by!
