A Birthday Boat!

Pam Sparks18 Comments

*****

Marianne Design has come out with these fun word dies… I love cutting them and layering them up to look like chipboard.  I did ink the edges with Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

Here’s a link to them and if you go to the next page, you’ll see the new dies for June!  I don’t have them yet but I’m looking forward to having some in my possession soon!

The background Lure stamp is from Judikins… the main boat and dock image is an old PSX stamp.  DAD is an alphabet set that I picked up years ago at Hobby Lobby.  I have a thing about alphabet stamp sets… some people collect figurines… I collect stamps, dies, paper, you name it… lol!  I have a feeling you’re in the same “boat”!  Pun intended!

On the inside I used a belated birthday greeting from a CC Designs AmyR Stamp sentiment set.  Perfect Layers Tools to mat the image… link in the right sidebar.

Linking to the CCEE Stampers Challenge – Create a card with a Vintage feel…

 

THANKS for looking!  ttul!

Slug bug…no slugs back!

Pam Sparks15 Comments

Remember all the Summer trips across the country looking for “bugs”?! haha  Our parents were goin’ nuts trying to keep everyone from fighting!  “She touched me!”  Oh those were the days… I loved laying in the back of the station wagon on my back reading though.  The miles sure went faster with a book in my hands!

More FABULOUS stamps for Summer from Printworks Collection… here’s the pdf files for these new images HERE and HERE.   Super FUN for all occasions!  The banner ribbon is from an old PW stamp that is a bow border!  I couldn’t find it in the online store but you can sure ask Nicole about it via email or the phone.  Background Polka Dot Wave border G2299 is HERE in rubber.  All PW stamps are available as wood mounted or cling mounted now!!! yea!  I used a PW alphabet set called Chalkboard. The pattern papers I used are also from PW… 12×12.  The image is stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Printworks dye stamp pads… Squish the pad while it’s closed to get ink on the inside of the lid, then pick up the color with your brush and paint away!  Beautiful colors!  Stamp pad colors I used to paint the images… Citrus Green, Emerald Green, Robin’s Egg Blue, Granite Gray, Sunflower and Tangerine.  They are in the Printworks online store, HERE.

Nicole says they are working on getting a new online store set up!  Can’t wait!  In the meantime,  email or call Nicole with your orders!  PrintworksCollection@yahoo.com or Toll Free:  (800) 854-6558

Thanks for sharing my nostalgic trip down memory lane!  Have a great week!

P.S.  The latest Magnolia Ink Magazine, Chocolate Dreams is in the store HERE…  Best price I’ve seen anywhere!   $9.30 and free shipping with a $40 order!!!
