Lawn Fawn Platform Pop Up Birthday Beach Card…

June 30, 2022July 5, 2022 Pam Sparks11 Comments

I have a few of these interactive cards to share with you in the next few days. The kids all have them now. I forgot to take a picture to show that it fits in an envelope but it does!

I used some Lawn Fawn stamp sets for the images and the sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.

I sure had fun coloring these. I used Copic Sketch markers and a little white gel pen.

I had to make the sun because I didn’t have a big enough sun die. I used a Memory Box slimline die and stitch circle die.

I use pattern paper for the interactive platform die cut. It works better if it’s not a heavyweight cardstock, in my opinion.

I found a yo yo stamp in a Paper Smooches stamp set. This card is for Henry and he’s quite the yo yo expert! I love it!

Holler if you have any questions! My last photo is a phone picture…a little bit different color wise.

Memory Box Layered Poinsettia and Pinpoint Daisy Background Card…

December 11, 2021December 11, 2021 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! I’ve been a little MIA but rest assured I’ve been ‘elfing’! hohoho! The granddaughters and I are doing make n takes for the home education group Christmas party here next Friday. Of course we couldn’t just do one thing! ha! Good for grandma’s heart to spend time with the grands! Sometimes you need a good excuse! lol

So this morning I made a card! Checking to see if I still remembered how!

I hadn’t used this Pinpoint Daisy Background yet so I had to play with it a minute. First thing I did was run it through the machine with a piece of red foil to see if it would transfer! It did! I didn’t use it though because I didn’t use a full sheet of red foil. lol Then I couldn’t decide if it would work with this card so I went with white.

I love this new Layered Poinsettia die so I used it again.

This card went together pretty quick compared to some I make.

Taylored Expressions cardstock in Cherry Pop, Cilantro and Poblano Pepper. Metallic gold for the sentiment.

The gold pearls are from Starlitstudio… love these pearls! So easy to apply with the mini Nuvo Embellishment tool!

This ended up a little larger than an A2 size because I didn’t cut down the Pinpoint background cut. It will fit easy in an A7 envelope and travel on one postage stamp.

Thank you for stopping by today! Season’s Greetings to you and happy last minute cardmaking! eek! ❤

Memory Box Birthday Rose Corner Shape Card…

June 5, 2020 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! I’ve been coloring with Distress ink refills and water again. So fun… I stamped on watercolor paper…MB has watercolor paper now and I keep forgetting to use it! I have to remember!

I die cut with the coordinating die… then I partial cut into the front of my card base so it’d be a shape card of sorts!

Here’s a look at the inside so you can see.

I stamped the Happy Birthday from the new poppystamps Friendship and Kindness stamp set. This happy birthday is part of a larger sentiment but I cut it apart. just make one cut and so you can fit them back together precisely.

I love how this looks in real life when you open it.

I used Peeled Paint and a teeny bit of Pine Needles, Milled Lavender and a teeny bit of Dusty Concord, Victorian Velvet is the pink, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo for the roses and berries.

I spattered with gold paint. The cardstock is Taylored Expressions Pink Champagne… I’ll link it up below.

An A7 size card that’s light and flat and will mail for one stamp! YAY!

Thank you for stopping by today! Happy stamp shopping… so many NEW good ones to color! Beautiful dies, embossing folders, washi tape and pattern paper too! oh my! hehe

Spring Birthday Card with Distress Ink Coloring…

April 23, 2020 Pam Sparks8 Comments

It’s been some time since I colored with Distress Ink Pad Refills. I got the notion last week or was it the week before?! ugh… time gets away from me. Anyway, I finally finished her over the weekend and finally got some pictures taken to post.

The image is from hÄnglar Wings in Sweden. The stamps I own are unmounted rubber but they do have clear stamps now also! So cute! I stamped her with Ranger Archival ink on Arches Hot Press Watercolor paper.

I color skin with Tattered Rose and Vintage Photo. Her coat and hat are PIcked Raspberry and Dusty Concord. Her jeans are Faded Jeans. Her hair is Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain.

I used a Hello Bluebird die for the tree background. The grass die is from Lawn Fawn. The little leaves are from an old CC Designs die that I cut up and glued on.

The sentiments are from Taylored Expressions Sentiment Strip stamps and die system. Pretty cool and fun messages!

I hope she makes you smile! Thanks for stopping by!

3 Letterboard Cards…

January 23, 2020January 23, 2020 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! Did you see the Splitcoast Stampers recent email talking about Letterboard cards? oh, I keep calling them this but I think the email called them Marque cards. Here’s the tutorial!

My first one is a birthday card for our oldest grandson. I used an old alphabet die set from Quickutz called Diesel. The birthday wishes postal circle is from Inkadinkado.

I will link up a bunch of alternative, similar alphabet die sets in my linkdeli collection at the end of the post. They would all make awesome cards like this too!

This one is ¼ of an inch taller than a regular A2 card. I mailed it in an A7 envelope.

The little bit of coloring is with Copics.

The next one is the card I made for Tim/husband. Four family birthdays in January! Two more to go! hehe

This one I used a different alphabet. It’s Parker from Memory Box. (my link below is to Parker lower case, upper isn’t available anymore) The little candle is from a Quickutz die set and the heart was on my desk.

I scored lines this time with my scor-pal instead of making ¼ inch strips and foam mounting tape like I did for the others.

Harder to see the scored lines in that picture…

There you can see them again. This card is A2 size and the cardbase is Cookie Monster cardstock from Taylored Expressions.

Glossy Accents on the candle and heart.

My third cards are thank yous! I need several right now! ❤

I really had fun with this card style… but I quit for now because I need to do other stuff! lol

This is Quickutz Diesel alphabet again. The heart is from Honeybee Stamps.

The red and black cardstocks are from Taylored Expressions also. The envelopes I made for these is a digital cut from Kerri Bradford.com. I cut them on the Scan and Cut cm350. I’ve been experimenting to use it more! yay! It’s like a coin envelope style… I should’ve taken a better picture of just the envelopes. You can find it HERE.

A2 size and I used two Pool notecards from Memory Box for the card bases.

Thank you for stopping by today! I’ll be back real soon with another Reverse Confetti card, then more Memory Box and poppystamps coming your way! Hope the new year is finding you with time to make. I can’t believe this month is almost history! :O

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!

Happy Little Stampers – August, anything goes with dies
