Spellbinders Monthly Clubs…last day to sign up for June!

June 27, 2024 Pam Sparks2 Comments

Here I am at the last minute and you still have time to get in on the June Clubs at Spellbinders! Sign up goes through today, the 27th! Go HERE.

I’m using the Stencil of the Month Club on my card. FIVE stencils in this set…3 for the beach balls and 2 to create a Summer scene! BTW a one inch circle punch works to punch out the balls. Hard to tell in my photos but I have two punched out and raised with thin mounting tape.

I used two Distress Oxide inks, Lumberjack Plaid and Prize Ribbon. I also inked a piece of cardstock to make the background blue pieces.

SB All-Star Sentiments (half price right now!) and Simon Hurley Handwritten Sentiments (25% off right now!) for the message. Links below…

It turned out cute considering I had no idea where I was headed with it! lol

I ended up with two different color reds because I grabbed the pink blending brush to do the main red on the ball! oops! But it worked out because the small red circle die using the red brush gave me another red! lol

I’ll add this A2 size card to my stash of birthday cards!

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check out Spellbinders! There’s always a great sale going on. I love it!

Memory Box Lavish Fuchsia Stem CAS Card…

June 21, 2024June 21, 2024 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! Memory Box NEW Lavish Fuchsia Stem makes up beautifully and fills an A2 size card!

I know, I used unusual colors after flipping through the newer Memory Box 6×6 cardstock pads, Lagoon and Greenery.

A CAS/clean and simple design with a simple Memory Box Happy Birthday Foil Greettings Black Circle Tab.

Right now I’m liking fast cards and I made this in an hour! YAY! I’m trying to ride my bike everyday…any of you have an electric bike? Trying to build my confidence with the assist and throttle! lol A little sidetracked by sourdough too! lol So fun to watch that starter!

I’ll link up to some challenges…

NEW Memory Box Little Fuchsia Flower Trio and Branch and Hello Breezy Script Card…

June 12, 2024June 13, 2024 Pam Sparks17 Comments

Hello cardmakers and friends! This NEW release from Memory Box is taking me back a lot of years to when I was so in love with Fuchsias! Now our daughters are!

They are so fancy! One of God’s truly amazing floral creations! Oh true everything God created is amazing! ❤

I love making clean and simple cards but they are challenging to take pictures of because the pictures never completely do the card justice!

This is such a sweet, delicate die and the sentiment is so neat! I love this font/look! I use the Zig Two Way Squeeze Roller Ball point glue pen to glue these. Works great! It’s also one time I use tweezers for placement!

I used the thin mounting tape I love so much, trimmed to fit on the back of the floral piece.

I die cut the hello mat three times and glued together so I wouldn’t need to use mounting tape behind.

I die cut the Fuchsia in Taylored Expressions cardstocks and inked with Distress ink pads. I used single colors but different pressure to achieve the variation. I’ll link what I used below.

The cardbase and Hello Breezy Script are Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock.

It’s an easy to mail A2 size card.

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.
