Simon Says Stamp Release….Send Happiness…3 Cards!

June 29, 2020 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Happy Monday to you! Simon Says Stamp has a new release and they sent me this flower die to play with…I was already doing napkin die cutting so I went ahead and did this new Etched Flower die the same way! Scroll down to THIS post for a link to the technique/how to video.

I stamped the background for the flower die with the tone on tone look and the SSS Damask Background cling stamp. I die cut three panels, a white one, the stamped one and a dark pink one with the SSS Frames die, then inlaid pieces from each and taped them together on the back side. I mounted this panel with Mounting tape.

The sentiment is a stamp from the SSS Sending Sympathy clear stamp set and die cut with the SSS Stitched Rectangles die set. I had to recut it to get it the right size.

The NEW Etched flower die cuts two connected flowers…so I had this single flower left over and parts from the Frames die cuts so I made another card!

The sentiment is also from the Sending Sympathy stamp set. I taped the pieces together on the back side of the panel and used foam mounting tape to mount it to the cardbase.

My third card…I had an idea but this isn’t anywhere near what I was trying to do! lol I like it though! lol

I debated whether to stick with a thank you or make it a sympathy card… it could easy go for any occasion!

There’s the NEW Speckled Egg Distress ink is what I used on the white Etched Flower die cuts this time… peeled paint for the stems.

Memory Box 6×6 pattern paper pad for the three papers.

A thank you stamp and some cotton cord and I stuck it all to a white cardbase.

All three cards are A2 size.

Have fun checking out this new release and thank you for shopping through my links! I appreciate your support so much!

5 Memory Box Die Cards….

June 12, 2020June 12, 2020 Pam Sparks8 Comments

I’ve been working on cards! This is a long post so keep scrolling!

I wanted to make something cool with this NEW Leafy Tree die… it looks Summery anyway! I also used the NEW Double Stitch Rectangle Cut Out die set… I like it a lot! I die cut the Leafty Tree Frame in TE Peapod cardstock and colored the tree trunk with a dark brown Copic Sketch Marker! It covers the green really well!

The sentiment is from the NEW poppystamps Greeting Basics clear stamp set. So many good sentiments in this set. I’m going to get a lot of use out of it.

I love how the leaves can be embossed with this Leafy Tree Frame die and then inked with a little stamp pad ink. I used TE Peapod ink to match the cardstock. The background is Tumbled Glass Oxide ink brushed on to a Toffee/kraft piece of cardstock…same as the card front. I like the look it gave as compared to using it on white.

The next card…same dies… but I cut the Leafy Tree Frame in Brown, then in a scrap of green and trimmed off the frame and trunk parts..

Sentiment from the same poppystamps set…

Next I played with the NEW Birthday Cursive Script Circle…

This card is greener IRL… the pictures turned out more blue… it looks ‘beachy’ here! lol I think I might have to switch back to east windows for Summer pictures.

I used the NEW Stylish Rectangle Trio die and the NEW Birthday Cursive Script Circle for this card and inlaid them both in the card panel that I pieced together with three Bazzill Card Shoppe cardstocks, HERE.

The happy die was new last year… then some enamel dots and why did this card take me hours! lol I guess that’s pretty normal around here. lol

Next two cards I used the same Birthday circle die, just cut it out from the frame but one is the NEW pattern paper pad Garden Folly, HERE and the other TE cardstocks. I used the NEW Scribble Rose Trio and Background die also.

I’m not sure about these colors at all! I debated even showing the card! lol But here it goes.

I used TE Dijon and Peapod cardstocks and ink pads I know…interesting! lol Taylored Expressions has been so good to tell us what Copic markers match their ink pads and cardstock too! So I colored the die cut with matching Copics!

Oh, I used the NEW Gracious Leaves 3D Embossing folder too! It’s really pretty made up and inked for accent.

This card I cut a circle from the embossed panel and mounted it to the card base with foam mounting tape. The Rose Trio die is recessed a little then… I really like how it looks. The word ‘wishes’ is from the Big and Little Words clear stamp set

I’m gonna stop now before your eyes cross from this crazy variety of cards! lol

Thank you so much for stopping by and scrolling forever! I appreciate it and hope I made you smile!

Hi cardmakers and friends! The release is now available for purchase in the Reverse Confetti webstore. Check it all our HERE. Seven NEW stamp sets, 9 New Confetti Cuts die sets and a 6×6 paper pad.

I’m going to start with the cute card of the two I made for today’s post. hehe This cutie critter is all about showing us how to cut and paste! I love it so much!

I used the NEW Crafty Critters stamp set and Confetti Cuts set for this one. Besides this cute monkey, there’s the bunny and a zebra, all crafters!

This monkey’s got personality + for sure! So busy cutting paper hearts and gluing up a card! I stamped and colored with Copics… E40’s, BG10’s, R24 and 29.

There’s the NEW Scallop Cover Panel Confetti Cut in the background. The Scallop Frame is an older Confetti Cut die set called Love Note.

Up next is the Butterfly Wreath stamp set and Confetti Cuts set…

I had fun with this one… I stamped and gold heat embossed it on textured watercolor paper and painted it in with water and Distress Inks. It’s bright! lol I spattered with the leftover paint on my tonic craft mat too.

I randomly stamped the branch with old paper Distress ink on the cardbase. Heat embossed the sentiment from the set on vellum. Stamped and heat embossed the two butterflies from the set and adhered them with a little Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue after I adhered the wreath to the cardbase with mounting tape.

Both of my cards are A2 size.

The hop started at the Reverse Confetti Blog and ends here on mine (list below)…lots of hearts and inspiration shared this week!

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and visits! Happy papercrafting the for the big heart day!

Memory Box Antique Rose Cluster Label Sympathy Card…

July 19, 2019 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Super simple sympathy card to share with you today. This new Antique Rose Cluster Label die is super fun to do inlaid die cutting with.

I die cut a ‘pool’ piece of Memory Box notecard with the largest Wrapped Stitched Rectangle die.

I die cut the Antique Rose Cluster Label die in a ‘pool’ Memory Box card panel, a ‘licorice’ panel, a’pink’ panel and ‘sage’ panel.

Completely remove the cut from the ‘pool’ panel, put a piece of wide scor-tape across the wrong side, insert the black outline piece into the opening, then add all the pink and green pieces.

It’s so sweet!

I love this color combo!

I white heat embossed the sentiment from Memory Box Big and Little Words sentiment set and stamped the accent sentiment from the same set, using the MISTI for both.

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you enjoyed this CAS card and will try it!

Spellbinders June Small Die of the Month Club Cards…

June 6, 2019 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on these two cards this week using the NEW Spellbinders June Small Die of the Month Club set. (link at the bottom of this post)

Two kinds of stained glass/quilt looking cards!

In the June kit there are three sets of dies that stack/coordinate. A hexagon set, a circle set and a fan looking set. All for a great deal!

I used one layer of the hexagon set for this first card. I die cut a lot of the black one (popped out the waste), then I die cut two of each color cardstock from Taylored Expressions, linked below, all from the same die. The color ones held together well so that made it easy to tape the back (to hole the pieces in) and then glue the black cut on top.

This ended up a ‘Hallmark’ size card. If I was doing it again, I would cut the panel in half and make two cards! 😀

The ‘For You’ sentiment die cut is from the Spellbinders Truckin’ Through the Seasons die set.

My next card is using the circles from the club set.

I lined up the 3 circle dies in a row on top of an A2 card size panel. Taped them in place with removable tape and die cut…repeated it for the next row. It worked slick. I didn’t even measure this time. eek! lol I had six holes in the panel then.

I used mounting tape on the back of the panel and adhered it to a TE Granny Smith A2 size panel so that color would show through when I pieced in the circles.

I die cut the 3 circle dies from white and Taylored Expressions color cardstock. Adhered them together and glued them into the holes in the panel.

I stamped the sentiment with Archival black ink and the MISTI tool. I cut out the word sympathy with the MISTI Cut Align ruler.

I hope I didn’t make it sound complicated because it’s just a matter of cutting enough pieces, after you decide what colors you want to use, gluing and putting them in place. 😀

I wish you could see them in person… so much better! hehe

Memory Box Summer Meadow Collage and poppystamps Plumed Peacock cards…

June 22, 2018June 27, 2018 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! I’ve only made two cards this week and I’m gonna put them both in this post! lol I’ve had this background piece laying on my desk for over a month, finally using it! Always fun to use an unusual color combo…it’s a Distress Oxide background with Channin’s Shammy technique. Ink blend on the ink and then hit it with your bunched up stamp cleaner shammy. Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers are the ink colors I think I used here.

I die cut a piece of black cardstock with the Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die, then die cut the New Memory Box Summer Meadow Collage in it.

I die cut the New Memory Box Floating Swan in the inked panel and in a piece of black cardstock. I wanted the water movement in the inked panel. Very cool die!

The sentiment is from poppystamps Peony Stems and Blossoms stamp set. I added an extra black butterfly die cut with the Memory Box Pippi Butterfly die.

Then some Doodlebug and Echo Park Enamel Dots placed randomly. I did use mounting tape to adhere the Summer Meadow Collage to the inked background, then glued that directly on an A2 white cardbase.

Linking my Summer Meadow Collage card to the Crop Stop Anything Goes link party…

Next up… the New poppystamps Plumed Peacock and Delicate Branch Collage….

This is when you need a professional photographer…when you use mirror cardstock! lol My pictures don’t do the card justice. It’s quite striking IRL.

I die cut the Delicate Branch Collage die in a piece of gold mirror cardstock, then trimmed the panel down to fit on an A2 size panel of black cardstock.

I die cut the Plumed Peacock in glitter cardstock and pieced them in. I just put scotch tape on the back, then flip it over and put the pieces in.

I used mounting tape to adhere the gold panel to the black panel, then a little mounting tape strategically placed on the peacock so none of it would hit the branch collage die cut panel but still be popped up the same height as the panel.

I didn’t add a sentiment or anything to this card…I’m kind of a CAS girl but usually I at least have to have a sentiment! I was ok with this though. It’s very classy and elegant.

poppystamps Meadow Flower and Stitch Wreath CAS card…

April 26, 2018May 14, 2018 Pam Sparks22 Comments

Here with a special delivery! This simple sweet flower makes a statement against this stitch flower wreath. I love it! A little Copic Sketch Marker coloring with the G40’s and a Y15. The little white dots are from a Signo White Gel Pen.

I think I could make this card next time in 30 minutes! A record! lol I have to tell you though, this washi tape was discontinued some time ago…like a couple years. October Afternoon is the brand. Some things are just timeless! Other tapes or a sentiment on a card-stock strip would work just as well. Check out SLS’s selection of new Alexandra Renke tapes… whoa, so cool!

Linking my card to some challenges…

Die Cut Divas – anything goes

Double D Challenges – Friendship

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – anything goes

Scrapyland Challenge – use a brand they sell in their store

thank you ladies for the mention award!

Seize the Birthday Challenge – anything goes

I keep looking for buds on our new trees. Tim says not to expect much but I want much! lol

Here’s some pictures of them… click to see them big.

Here he is bringing the first tree after he made the hole with the same truck…then back and forth until all 3 were in the ground. (I took the pictures from inside our house)

We have a red oak from several years ago on the other side of the white oak in the front. Grow trees grow! Now the ground is tilled up and all new seed planted…lots of watering happening!

Thanks for stopping by today! Hang on to the little bit of April that’s left! haha Our oldest two grandsons are in Detroit at Worlds First Tech Robotics competition. I’m watching the live streaming…glued to the computer! Anybody else have ppl there? 120 teams from 60 countries! While the big boys are competing, the two youngest are collecting buttons from the teams! So fun!
