Marianne Design World Design Team…

Pam Sparks36 Comments

I’m so excited and honored to be a new member of the Marianne Design World Design Team! I love to be challenged and using her dies, stamps and supplies to create with is going to be great fun! So….here’s hoping I can inspire and challenge you at the same time!

Today I’m posting two cards. A Clean and Simple card with the new tree Creatables die LR0203 from the January release.  I LOVE scene dies! = )  I wish I hadn’t used such dark brown card-stock …if you watch the video you’ll see the detail of the die better! The sentiment stamp is C2398 from Printworks.

Here’s a video to show how I layered the tree.

Then my second card is a Don and Daisy stamp from Marianne Design that I colored and matted on a Marianne Design Craftables Rectangle die set CR1202, the black dot ribbon is from Marianne Design and the Elegant Brocade stamp is from Hero Arts.  SOOOO CUTE!  Don is so sweet to carry Daisy over the threshold! hehe

 

They just make a gal smile!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Weekend to you!

How sweet is this NEW Lula Big Heart!  Part of the December CC Designs Release!  I paper pieced her heart with Basic Grey pattern paper from the Eskimo Kisses 6×6 pattern paper pad.  The card base pattern paper is from the same collection but it’s  a piece from the 12×12 size.  Such a happy Swiss Pixies Lula!  The “I heart you” sentiment is from the new AmyR Stamps Heart-y Sayings set.  Martha Stewart heart border…Fiskars teeny heart punch (hand held paper boy type punch)…holly is from an old All Night Media border punch or the old Fiskars holly border punch has tiny holly leaves too.  Can’t find either one to link to though… sorry!  I love teeny stuff… sometimes I buy something I don’t like just because of a teeny part of it I want! lol

On the inside I used another piece of the Eskimo Kisses pattern paper from the 6×6 pad.  The heart and lacy border are the new Big Hearts die from the CC Designs Cutters December Release!  So cool!  They emboss a stitching line around it too!  No sentiment yet,  but I will use something from the Amy R Sentiment sets for Christmas.

Lula is stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink on Papertrey Ink select white card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Hair – E50, YR31, YR21, YR23

Face – E000, E00, E21 and R20 for the cheeks (this R20 is one I diluted with some R00 refill)

Dress and socks – B000, 00 and some light warm grays

Uniball white gel pen for the dots on the scallop heart and cheeks

I used the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge HERE

I used Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses paper because I saw the challenge on the Basic Grey Challenges blog was Anything Goes HERE

The Challenge at Wee Memories Challenge blog is Holiday HERE

Tilda with Heart…

Pam Sparks46 Comments

Queen of hearts… Tilda is such a cutie!  I’m loving this new collection as I’m sure you are too!!!  I used Tilda With Heart from the new You Are So Special die collection .. You’ll ❤ them too!

I also used the Magnolia Doohickey’s dies, Doily Flowers, Tilda’s Lace and Bon voyage Foliage.

Tilda was inked with Memento Tuxedo Black ink , stamped on Beckett Expression Super-smooth 80# card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch markers.  I used E50, 51, 53, 37, 57, 59 on her hair, RV91, 93, 95, 99 on her dress and socks, for her skin I used E000, 00, 01, 21 with R20 and 22 for the blush,  shoes are E43, 44, 47, 49, ground W0, 1, 3, 5 and the heart is R22, 24, 27, 29, 59.  I inked the edge of the rectangle with Antique Linen Distress ink  and the ink blending tool. Rectangle and Heart nestabilities dies.  Lasting Impressions buttons, Tim Holtz filmstrip ribbon, paper cord from JoAnns, My Minds Eye pattern paper and I used the crimper on the die cut border after I cut it,  hard to tell in my photo because the paper is striped but it’s really cool IRL!

Here’s a close up of Tilda all ready for Valentine’s Day!

I’m linking my Tilda to the Just Magnolia Challenge blog, HERE…this week’s challenge is Anything Goes with ribbon and I used the Tim Holtz filmstrip ribbon.   Stamp With Fun Challenge blog, HERE the theme is LOVE…well Tilda is all about “love”  and I used their sketch from last week for my card!  A Spoonful of Sugar Challenge blog, HERE the theme is “Let’s see some love”…got that covered!  Everybody Art Challenge blog, HERE they want to see Valentine.  Papertake Weekly Challenge blog, HERE the theme is “Have a Heart”.  Stamps R Us Challenge blog, HERE the theme is Valentine/Love.

Valentine & Winter ATC’s…

Pam Sparks22 Comments

I’m linking up to the Stamp Something Challenge Blog where the theme right now is Winter Something… I think my sledding girl fits that great! : )

I really enjoy ATC’s but I do have trouble switching gears from coloring cute, so to speak! lol  I enjoyed working on these though and hopefully the recipients will enjoy them and I’ve caught up a little! : )

Thanks for stopping by and hope they make you grin!
