CC Designs Cupcake Trevor celebrates!

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Sugarplums Cupcake Trevor and Cupcake Emma are showing off! Bring on the candles and cake! One of our grandson’s just turned two and he sure was good at blowing out those two candles! Breanna used a construction theme for the party and it was so cute with brownies coming out of that digger! (or whatever that is!) = )

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

I stamped Cupcake Trevor on Hammermill Color Copy 80# Cover card-stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers.

I used a lot of CC Designs Cutters dies and jazzed them up with crimpers, Copics and a white gel pen.

The Sentiment is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink on the same white card-stock and punched with a circle punch… edged with Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

The cupcakes are from the new CC Designs Sweet Treat die! A very cool die, a cupcake, ice cream cone, confetti and frosting! I love the five little circles (confetti)… stick them on with Tombow Mono Multi glue and the QK Quick Stik. The Squiggles and Balloons are CC Designs Cutters dies also. I crimped the cupcake papers with the “tube wringer” crimper and the strips of wavy frosting with the Quilling Creations mini crimper! Love that thing!

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Cute kid! His hair is colored with Copic E30’s series. I stamped the cupcake on colored card-stock, cut them out, crimped the bottom/cupcake paper and adhered them to the completed, colored Trevor. Oh, glued on the five dots from the Sweet Treats die!

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

I cut the CC Designs Candle border in yellow and green… cut the flames off the green and glued it to the yellow. I added white gel pen to the wick.

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Happy Birthday to YOU!

CCDesigns…A Little Bit of Magic Fairy and Sentiments

July 13, 2012April 1, 2014 Pam Sparks22 Comments

A fairy step card for you today! oh what fun coloring these dinky little fairies from Sweet November… scroll down to my post from yesterday to see another card using this new kit!

I stamped using my stamp a ma jig for positioning… video under the tutorial tab above. Papertrey Ink card-stock and Hammermill. I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers. The sentiments are stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink… the best stuff on the market for stamping sentiments… so clean and crisp… be sure to allow time for it to dry though… a few minutes at least. I used the stamp a ma jig to position on the banner die cuts… how to in the same video. I used the Versafine cube ink pad to just ink up part of the sentiment for the loving wishes. I love all the stuff you can do with a handy, dandy stamp a ma jig!

Copic colors I used..

Dresses, BV 11, 13, 15 – YG 01, 03, 05 – R81, 83, 85 – B000, 01, 02
Hair, C’s – E50, YR31, 21, 23, 26 – E30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 37 – E97, 08, 18, 19
Skin, E0000, 000, 00, 11 and diluted R20 for cheeks

Capture the magic today and happy weekend to you! I’m off to stamp club this afternoon. It’s gonna take a trunk to pack up all this show and tell! Wish you could come! Wouldn’t that be fun! I ran out of time last month to take any show and tell. Hopefully I can get it together for today and pack up what I need for the program too! Take care and talk to you soon!

As American as Bicycles, Baseball and Apple Pie is my little country scene today… Happy 4th of July! I love the little stars on wires in the bicycle basket!
Lots of Marianne Design dies on this step card…

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

(I just realized that when you load a video to You Tube they make it fit their window and it cuts off parts of the top and bottom. Wish I’d realized this sooner… hope you can still get an idea of what I did)

This was so fun to make! ttul!

Here’s the dies and supplies I used …

A Fishing kind of Birthday!

April 10, 2012August 6, 2013 Pam Sparks26 Comments

Relax, it’s cool! How to celebrate a 10th birthday… fishing… Grandson Lane loved his new tackle box and lures from Grandpa!

New Stampfairy stamps from Marianne Design… Stampfairy Bear Fishing and Stampfairy Sentiments. I also used Marianne Design’s tree, fence, grass and bird dies for this step card… it just makes me happy! So cute! The three little trees in the background are a dollar stamp from M’s… I stamped and masked the bear first… just cut out half the mask… = )

I love how the dies emboss… I used the embossing with the stylus technique that I show in this video HERE and the tree is pieced like I show in this video HERE.

All the pieces are edged with Walnut Stain Distress ink, the green is edged with Peeled Paint Distress ink… and the ink blending tool! MME Lime Twist Cloud paper again… I bought the last three sheets of it at the stamp store in Des Moines… love it! I’ll link to the 6×6 pad that has it in it though.
