SSS ‘Celebrate You Release’ Filigree Message Circle Die with MB Flower Dies…

May 15, 2019May 16, 2019 Pam Sparks12 Comments

It’s time for a NEW release from Simon Says Stamp! They sent me their new Filigree Message Circle die to play with. Kinda fitting since it was designed by Memory Box.

So I set to work and used a couple Memory Box flower dies too!

I used sentiments from the SSS last release, Tiny Words Encouragement clear stamp set. Links below…

I wanted to embellish the circle so I diecut the NEW Memory Box Daisy Silhouette die in white and colored with Copic Sketch markers.

YG17 Matches Taylored Expressions Peapod cardstock perfectly! I’ll link below.

Here’s a top view because there is dimension to the card! 😀

The top layer is Taylored Expressions Toffee cardstock.

A close up…I think this picture captures the sweetness of the card the best! 😀

Next photo, the cards together…a variety of things you can do with this die. Use your other circle dies to frame it etc. My white die cut panel is popped up to the card base with foam mounting tape and the kraft die cut panel is adhered directly to the card base.

I have this Lawn Fawn Inside Out Circle die set and love how it framed this Filigree Message Circle die.

I wanted to embellish with flowers again and liked the idea of tulips cuz it’s May and tulips are big in the area we live.

This is the Memory Box Springtime Tulips die. I clipped out the tulips and used them without the circle they come with.

A top view… I ink blended the flower parts that come with the die to back the tulips, with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink and the mini ink blending tool.

I ink blended the card base with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink.

The leaves are inked with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink.

Sweet, feminine cards that anyone would enjoy receiving. YAY!

Now for a bit of shopping info too… this is like an after Mother’s Day present to oneself! Gotta love that!

Winter Scene Bridge Fold Card and two more Valentines…

February 10, 2018June 29, 2019 Pam Sparks23 Comments

Good Saturday to you! This card is perfect for us this week! A week of beautiful snow! The glisten-y, sparkly kind!

When I saw these sledder dies at Starlitstudio…I KNEW I HAD to have them! hehe All things Winter scene need to be mine! haha

I used a variety of companies for this… I’ll link up what I used at the bottom of the post.

The Bridge fold card is so fun…I love how you can use so many dies for the scene and it can be layered up with so much dimension but still FOLD FLAT for mailing! YES!

Start with the base cut 4 1/4inches by 8 inches. Score at 1 1/4 inch and 2 1/2 inches from both ends…fold them in how you see them in my pictures. For the inside layers, I cut them 3 1/2 inches and score each end at 1/4 inch and they fit perfect every time! I use 1/8 inch score tape to secure them in position.

Holler if you have any question! 😀

Linking up my Winter Bridge card to CAS on Friday Challenge – Dies

Next up a couple Valentines…

I’m getting a lot of mileage out of this Pinpoint Heart die and the Have a Heart die set. Panel cut with the Rectangle Basics die set.

Linking up the heart/music card to Less is More Challenge #364 Music

Thank you ladies!

Here I made a little scene with the poppystamps Valentine Fairies stamp set and coordinating die set. I meant to color the blonde with a funky color hair but I forgot! So used to doing ‘normal’ hair! hehe

Stamped in the MISTI, die cut in the Big Shot and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. Bike is R46, the girls are the R0’s. Memory Box notecards in a couple fun colors, Parsley and Pool!

Colorful Rainbow cards to share today…

September 12, 2017September 13, 2017 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! Two clean and simple cards I made for stamp club last Friday. Annette had the program and she had rainbow for the theme. These are the two cards I made…one to swap and one for Annette’s birthday card.

I used the poppystamps paintbrush die, colored with Copic Sketch Markers, a Taylored Expressions brush rubber stamp, You color my world is from a new poppystamps stamp set, inked with Versafine Black Onyx ink and stamped with the MISTI. I stamped the brush stamp with Regular Distress Inks. I centered the stamp on the lid of the MISTI and moved the card to stamp the different colors. I did stamp each color two and three times to get the bold color.

Both cards are A2 top folding card bases, almost one layer!

The bike is a new Spellbinders die cut in heavy white card-stock…run it through with the tan mat a second time so it embosses nicely.

The street and the stitched rectangle are from a MFT blueprints die set, the butterflies are an old Marvy punch…sorry I didn’t have time to look for a die but I’ll see if I can find something similar to link to and the sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

Thanks for stopping by on this fine Tuesday! I’ll be back soon with more of you know what! lol Have a creative, colorful week!

Window Scene for Inkspirational Challenges…

June 3, 2017June 3, 2017 Pam Sparks27 Comments

Hello weekend and friends! I’m delighted to be a guest for this week’s challenge over at Inspirational Challenges. The theme this time is ‘windows’.

A little ink smooshing and die cutting, oh and white heat embossing on black and this card could really be used for a lot of occasions. I went with belated birthday because that is something I need but rarely have made ahead.

I used Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Inks for my inky background, just on regular card-stock this time.

I die cut Taylored Expressions In the Garden die from black card-stock three times, layering/gluing them together to get that fun dimensional look we all love.

I layered/taped the smooshed panel to an A2 card-base, Then glued on the black silhouette scene. I die cut the Memory Box Modern Tile die from white card-stock, then added foam mounting strips on all four sides, on the back and adhered it on the top.

I white embossed the sentiment from Taylored Expressions Some Like it Hot stamp set on a black card-stock strip and glued it on last..

I made two enamel dots with Ranger Caribbean Coast Enamel Accents, let them dry and glued them on the sentiment strip.

Thank you so much to Marina and her team for inviting me to guest design for this post. I enjoy challenges and love participating with the Inkspirational challenges when I can. I hope you will take the window challenge! Can’t wait to see what everyone creates!

I’m linking my card to some challenges…

A snow-globe kind of birthday card…

February 5, 2017February 10, 2017 Pam Sparks31 Comments

I had fun using some Papertrey Ink dies and Taylored Expressions stamps to make this card. A Distress ink background with ink spatters…some copic coloring and fussy cutting and it was ready to put together.

A very fun shape card and the first time for me to use this stamp set! So I’m linking up to Darnell’s NBUS challenge #10! yay!

The challenge at Stamping Sensations Challenge blog is Animal Magic so I’m linking up there too.

The challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges blog is a card with an animal too…count me in!

Over at Jingle Belles Challenge the theme is ‘let the flakes fall where they may’ So cute!

Here’s a close up…

It could’ve easy been a shaker but I like it a lot this way too! Just making paper snow this year! I think the snow is all going north of us. hehe Sorry northerners!

Thanks for stopping by! ‘preciate it and no I won’t ask you to go count how many snow-globe stamps and dies you own already. #chuckle
