MFT Hop, Flip and a Jump Interactive Birthday Card…

October 18, 2019October 18, 2019 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! Today I’m sharing a birthday card for one of our grandsons that just turned 7 the end of September. He’s a tramp lovin’ boy for sure and can run like the wind!

I used some newer My Favorite Things stamps and dies… perfect for our grands who all love the tramp. I had a $25 gift certificate that I’d won on a challenge that helped me buy the awesome Interactive Up Down Die set! We’ll need to use it a lot!

I followed the MFT Design Team gal Laura’s instructional video on how to do it. I reinforced the mechanism by gluing 3 die cuts together though, it really needed the strength! I haven’t asked but I’m hoping it’s still working on the card! hehe

Super cute and easy to color! I was so happy with how it turned out! I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Ink and cut the images out with the Scan and Cut 350, then colored with Copic Sketch Markers. There are coordinating dies, I’ll link them up below.

Then it was just assemble like Laura’s video! You can find it on the MFT You Tube Channel. Here’s my video of it in action! Click HERE to see it BIG… much better on the You Tube channel.

It’s an A2 size card…

Thanks for stopping by! Hope it made you smile!

Lawn Fawn Beam Me Up (aliens) Slider Birthday Card…

August 12, 2019August 12, 2019 Pam Sparks16 Comments

Hi everyone! I have a cute card for you today! This alien has landed at the farm and demands cake! This card was for our grandson Cedryk’s 7th birthday. He loved it!

Pull the tab at the top up and the cake rises into the space ship! I have a little video showing how it goes. If you pull the tab out, it’s no problem, just stick it back in and the cake will stick to it again. The cake piece comes off the card. Really cute and so fun!

On You Tube HERE…

I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. I inked the grass in the front with Distress oxide inks.

The characters are from the Lawn Fawn Beam Me Up stamps and die set. The farm background is from a clear set by Miss Ink Stamps. I’ll link them up below…

A weird angle to see that I glued the piece of die cut vellum to the bottom of the spaceship.

A little closer to see the cake behind the vellum…

Have you ever seen cuter aliens? haha They seem to like birthday parties! lol And they bring presents! Gotta love that! haha

The inspiration for the slider is from a video I saw on Simon Says Stamp blog HERE.

I stamped the sentiments on black cardstock with Versamark ink and embossed them with Lawn Fawn White embossing powder. I used the MISTI Cut Align Ruler to cut the strips. So far I like it a lot!

Glue on the googly eyes and we’re ready to land!

A Lawn Fawn I Scream, You Scream, Birthday Card…

August 10, 2019September 24, 2019 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! I should be doing housework but here I am writing a post because I’m behind getting birthday cards posted and it’s time for new things! ok – I wonder when there aren’t new things in this papercrafting industry!

Here’s a card for one of our grands that just turned 13!

I was inspired by Nancy’s card here. I don’t have the pattern paper but otherwise, I just plain copied her… such an awesome design!

I used oxide inks on Bristol Smooth card, some water splatters, die cutting and gluing… very straight forward!

I ended up with several photos so I’ll just post away…

So happy with the color combo… I think you could use any Summer colors though for this!

You are so cool, pretty much sums it up!

So go get inky! lol

I’m going to link up to some challenges!

Memory Box Underwater Scene Birthday Card…

August 7, 2019August 11, 2019 Pam Sparks15 Comments

Aren’t these fish cute?! lol Compared to the real thing, I’ll take paper fish any day!

I love this intricate frame from the Sailboat Frame set too… I didn’t have any trouble cutting any of these.

TIP: I do cut with the cutting blades of the dies facing up…try it if you have any trouble cutting your intricate dies. Be sure to angle your dies into your machine too. Eliminate the ‘speed bump’.

I layered/glued together 3 of the Underwater Scene. The fish are one layer but adhered with foam mounting tape.

In the background you’ll see I inlaid the Family of Fish die… fun look I thought…almost looks like a net but I like it a lot! (Even better in person)

I inkblended with Gather Twigs and the mini ink blending tool on the circle and the fish.

This photo shows the levels a little better. A2 size…it’s not thick, it will mail for one forever postage stamp! yay!

Spellbinders August Small Die of the Month Club Card….

August 5, 2019August 5, 2019 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m back today with the NEW Spellbinders Small Die club of the month kit…all the dies for this come in the kit for one low price! Super cute too!

I got to thinking…that slit! What a cute money holder! So I added 5 bucks to my photos. hehe

Sometimes the stash of old stuff really comes in handy…so glad I still have a couple packages of these old Basic Grey magnets. I’ll try to find some others to link up below.

I used TE cardstock and Lawn Fawn pattern paper for the accent papers on the backpack. Lawn Fawn ink to edge the backpack pieces and crayons.

The zipper and glasses are silver foil/mirror cardstock.

I even had a piece of old history outline paper! I taped it to a piece of white cardstock because it’s so thin.

I took some more photos with a black background…just to make it hard for me to decide what to post! urrrrgghhh haha So just posting both flat and standing up pics today!

It’s an A2 size card and will mail for one forever stamp too! yay!

There’s another sentiment in the set too… You Rule…so cute…subscription price is just $12.50 a month! Details HERE and how it works info. Be sure to check out all the clubs while you’re there.

One last photo…so many fun details and very easy to make. I think this can be customized for any age too!

Happy Monday and thank you for stopping by!

Memory Box Daisy Flower Frame Birthday Card…

August 1, 2019August 4, 2019 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! There’s just something about a daisy that makes a gal happy! I kept this simple but the black and bits of color make it so sweet!

I die cut the frame three times and glued them together.

I embossed a white cardstock panel with the frame die, multi purpose platform and tan mat. That makes it easy for placement and gluing the frames over the top. Just take away the top tab of the platform when you run the die through the Big Shot to emboss.

I used scraps of Taylored Expressions Granny Smith cardstock for the leaves and a scrap of TE Lemon Meringue for the flower centers.

I heat embossed the sentiment from poppystamps Birthday Blowout clear stamp set on TE Oreo cardstock. TIP: When you’re white heat embossing on black, the cardstock really matters. TE and Bazzill work the best of the ones I’ve tried so far. On others, the powder like soaks into the cardstock and it’s not white anymore! ugh

I embellished the card with the 3 butterflies from the Memory Box Butterfly Trio die.

Then I die cut the largest die in the poppystamps Double Stitch Rectangle Frames two times, glued them together and glued them directly to the card panel.

A cherry birthday card with a little feminine touch!

Thank you for stopping by! Links below to the products I used. Happy cardmaking!

Simon Says Stamp Believe In You Release Cards…

July 26, 2019July 26, 2019 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hello! I have two cards to share with you using a new die, Today Will Be Awesome, from Simon Says Stamp’s new release, Believe In You. Check out the release! It’s huge and lots of beautiful stamps and dies!

I’m also using their Nautical Stripe Stencil that was new with their last release. Here I used it straight up and down on Taylored Expressions Cookie Monster cardstock, inkblending on Cookie Monster ink with a mini ink blending tool. I love the tone on tone look!

I die cut the stenciled panel with a Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangle die.

I die cut the new die in TE’s Toffee cardstock and since it’s thicker the letters stayed in the cut. Then I die cut it in Cookie Monster and glued the letters over the Toffee die cut. Easy placement that way..

The die comes with a rectangle die to back it too… that’s handy. I cut it from TE’s Confetti Cake cardstock.

I embellished with the Memory Box Scribble Leafy Branch Background die cut from TE’s Granny Smith cardstock and a few Doodlebug Matte Sprinkles.

For some reason I really like how this turned out! lol It’s not like me to have such a contrast of colors!

My next card…

Same die and stencil, I just did the stencil diagonal both directions, with Lawn Fawn Merman and Cilantro inks and Confetti Cake and Granny Smith cardstocks.

I used the next size down of the Wrapped Stitch Rectangles dies and added the Scribble Leafy Branch Outline die to the leaves this time.

I like this one too. I should mail them! Imagine that! lol

oh and here’s a picture of a couple backgrounds I made last month with this stencil but didn’t get anything made up. Too bad, they would’ve been great patriotic cards! So the stencil, 3 different ways!

Thank you so much for stopping by! I appreciate it and always hope you enjoy and are inspired by my cards!
