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!

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

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

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.

Memory Box Whimsical Gladiola and Fanciful Gladiola Stem Card…

June 5, 2024June 5, 2024 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! A card full of sunshine today! Not quite what I pictured in my mind but it is cheerful!

I die cut in Neenah Classic Crest Smooth cardstock and inked with Distress Inks.

I followed the picture on the front of the envelope for how to color. It’s really cool how it works! I inked the piece that is the darkest first…

Then ink the piece that is all green…

Then glue the green over the blue!

Next I inked lighter and lighter shades of the same blue on the petals and glued them on following the picture on the front of the envelope/package.

It’s not hard at all! The little pieces of green stem sticking off the stem are where you glue the petals on and they line up!

Same for the yellow flowers.

I used an old Memory Box postage rectangle to mat a panel of paper from the Glimmering Gladiola 6×6 pad.

Then another sheet of the same pad to coordinate on the cardbase.

Then, yet another piece to cut out the NEW Exquisite Butterflies that I only used one of.

I added the cent sign using the old Memory Box abc soup Alphabet Soup die the ‘c’ and the ‘l’.

Fuchsias are on trend again! Check out the new Memory Box release! That’s what we’ll be making up next! You can see it here at Starlitstudio.net

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I appreciate it and thank you so much for the comments and encouraging words! I finally found where to change the comment section back to what it used to be! YAY! I wish they wouldn’t change things!

Spellbinders SimonHurley Tulip Trio Card…

April 30, 2024April 29, 2024 Pam Sparks6 Comments

Move over Hallmark here comes a 5 x 7 card! haha It’s really hard to trim down the large embossing folders sometimes and I needed the space for these wonderful tulips and sentiment!

I pretty much followed the color scheme on the packaging. There are so many pretty tulips this time of year…how do you decide!

I die cut in color cardstock and then inked with Distress Oxide inks and the ink blending brushes. Very fun… I love how easy it is to use the oxides. They match up so well with most cardstocks.

Thinking of you is from the Simon Hurley Handwritten Sentiments set. 24 cutting dies…pretty much words for any occasion! I used kraft and black cardstock thinking dirt! haha

We live close to one of the Dutch areas of Iowa. Tulip Time is coming up in another week. I hope there’s some tulips left! Our grandchildren have been practicing for marching in the band, the Dutch dancing and marching with the homeschool group. So I’m sure I’ll be going to watch it all!

I almost forgot! My white background panel is the Simon Hurley Twirling tulips embossing folder. So pretty. Two cards using it back a few posts.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy the Tulips and or what flowers are you enjoying right now?!
