Spellbinders Petal Fresh Card…

May 19, 2026May 19, 2026 Pam Sparks4 Comments

Hi everyone! Petal Fresh a NEW die set from Spellbinders…part of the Shiny Day Release. Very fun florals and easy to work with too! YAY!

I don’t remember if I’ve used this Emerald Cut Labels and Tag die set or not but I sure like it. So classy looking!

I was brave and just started gluing flowers and leaves together and stuck them down. I especially love the daisies!

The sentiment I used is from Yana’s Special Sentiments Hot Foil and die cut set. It isn’t available anymore so I linked to other similar type fonts sets.

A pretty basic CAS A2 size card. Will mail for one postage stamp for sure!

Linking to some card challenges…

Triple B: Birds, Butterflies and Blooms – choose one, two or three!

The Four Seasons May Challenge – inspired by Spring!

Make My Monday Challenge – #278 Say it with Flowers!

613 Avenue Create May 2026 – anything goes/twist is May Flowers!

Thanks so much for stopping by….you all are wonderful friends for sure! 🙂

Spellbinders Propagation Garden Collection Cards…

February 22, 2025February 24, 2025 Pam Sparks4 Comments

Hi everyone! I saw a GREAT, FLASH sale at Spellbinders including the sets in this collection and it reminded me that I’d not posted these two cards! For example Propagated Plants that I used for the plants on these two cards is on sale for $9! Regular $29.99!!! I made links for you below.

So here I am on a Saturday afternoon finally editing the photos and typing up a post. The sun is shining, the sky is blue for a change and the hub is out ice fishing with grandsons!

Super cute cards to make for plant loving friends and family!

I used the Circle Windows dies from Photo Play for the card front panel. I did a search and found a couple places to link to…not affiliate but I couldn’t find them in the stores I normally link to.

Then it’s just die cutting and gluing everything up!

The bottom terra cotta pot is from the Tiered Tray Decor set from Spellbinders but it’s not in the store anymore. I’m not positive but the pail is probably from Memory Box. This is what happens when you don’t post for over a year after you make! oops!

Are you on team Pink or team Yellow? lol

The grid pattern papers are from….ugh…I can’t remember! Some papers I have in the old, old, stash! But good ones! I’m sure you have this too.

I don’t remember where the sentiment is from either.

Another die set that you can use up scraps with! I don’t have great scrap organization but what I do have works for me. It’s a fairly good size 8 inch-ish tall bin that sits on a stool beside my desk that I have cardstock pieces in by company! I know…see…I told you…not great but it really does work for me!

So many fun cards for any occasion with this collection! I didn’t buy all of it but now I want to go back and buy the rest of it!

Have fun and thank you so much for stopping by!

Simon Says Stamp Sunny Vibes Release Around the World Card…

July 17, 2024 Pam Sparks2 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! Sunny Vibes….sure makes me think of Summer, vacations and travel. I’m not going anywhere but I can send this card instead! So many cute illustrations in this stamp set. There’s a coordinating die set and another die set if you don’t want to stamp.

I’m not sure if there is a thing called ‘air mail’ anymore…takes two days to get a piece of mail to someone in the same town! I love using postal elements on cards though. I heat embossed AIR MAIL in white on red cardstock.

I stamped the images and colored with Copics. I didn’t like the continents in brown so I stippled on some Rustic Wilderness Oxide ink. That was tricky but I didn’t want to start over.

I colored the airplane with a metallic gel pen then went over it a few times with a clear glaze pen.

The sentiments are straight in the stamp set but using the MISTI I curved them a little and stamped with Ranger Archival Jet Black Ink.

Ended up being a 5 ½ inch square card.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Sending smiles to you wherever you are!

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.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Holler if you have any questions!

I was able to change the comment section back to what I think it was before the powers that be changed it to what they thought it should be. I’m curious if it works better now.
