Aall and Create Birthday Card…

May 16, 2026May 16, 2026 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Hi everyone! I made this birthday card for one of our granddaughters…the set is called ‘Page Turner’! Appropriate for sure! We have a lot of book lovers in the family including me!

I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Hammermill cardstock and colored with Copic Sketch markers.

I see ppl buying Olo markers these days. I haven’t tried any….have you? Curious what the opinions are out there! I’m not tempted to buy anything else though. Maybe if I colored more…

I cut them out with the Scan n Cut. I love this machine for when I don’t have dies. Some days I think I should update it to the newer one that’s quiet but it works so well, I don’t want to take the chance on something new! lol

I used a waffleflower grass cover plate for the background. Die cut in white and inked it green. Then die cut it again with the Aall and Create Stemmed Pouch die.

Links below…

Sentiments are stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink in the MISTI.

Birthday sentiment on the inside….I couldn’t decide how to stamp the belated part though! I suppose I should’ve looked up the set to see if there was an example! lol

I’m linking my card to some challenges…

Well, thank you so much for stopping by again today! I’m having fun using my stash but some of you are probably missing my Memory Box and company cards. Sorry about that. They quit sending product to me to use last year so I’m thinking I’ll just buy once in awhile. I have years and years of cards using their products here on my blog that you can go back and review for inspiration! Just choose the Memory Box category from the choices in the right sidebar.

ttul!

Fishing has been an almost daily occurrence around here!

The vest is a pattern from WPlus9.com

This is the Lawn Fawn Platform Pop up die made up with the new Dog collection from Doodlebug Designs. The front….

from the top to kinda see down in….

And last but not least… this is my newest hobby and it’s yummy! I finally bought a stand mixer and boy am I having fun baking!

Here it is in action making bread! Another super short video.

Ready to stick in the oven!

I guess I didn’t take pictures of these two loaves done! They’re really good!

Today I need to do some laundry though so I better stop talking!

Simon Says Stamp KISSES January Release!

January 18, 2023January 19, 2023 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! Lots of paper hearts, hugs and kisses coming your way! Check out this NEW release at Simon Says Stamp!

Here’s the NEW stamp set that was sent to me to show off! It’s called Swoopy Flowers! I don’t know if I did it justice but I gave it a good try, coloring with Copic Sketch Markers!

I stamped and cut the images out on the Scan and Cut but there are dies to coordinate! There’s also a stencil for coloring! Fun!

I used the R80s, the YR00s and the G20s.

I made the rectangle frame with Waffleflower A2 Layers and Additional A2 Layers die sets.

Die cut black cardstock with the smaller rectangle and the white with a larger rectangle so it’s picture framed or matted like a picture!

I love this look! I did it with a circle die also and I’ll show that card in the next day or two.

The Happy Valentines Day sentiment is from the Love and Valentines Word Mix 2 stamp set. I stamped in clear embossing ink, sprinkled with Lawn Fawn White Embossing powder and heat embossed it.

Some Cupcake Doodlebug Sprinkles for a little embellishment.

Other sentiments that would’ve worked here are from the Love Greetings Mix… fun. I’ll link it below even though I’m not showing it today.

I hope you can dash over and check out the new release. It’s a colorful Valentine season I’m sure! Have fun making some paper art today!

Baseball Birthday Boy Card…

June 21, 2022 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! Always birthdays happening around here! Rogan turned 8 June 1st and I’m just now getting this posted. I don’t think I’ve gotten all the other birthdays posted either so this is probably good that I’m getting this one done!

I really liked this card! Usually I like to do something interactive but there’s not enough sports stamps in my stash so the interactive part came on the inside. I really like the sets I used though and am getting a lot of use out of them!

I had some baseball washi tape that kinda covered up the fact that this die has scallop edges.

I used An Altenew Alphabet set on the front and the stamps and dies from Sunny Studio and Waffleflower. Here’s another card I used the Batter set for.

Rogan likes to keep busy playing sports or helping his dad.

I loved using the alphabet for his name and embellishing it… now I want to do it everytime but I probably better not. lol

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope your day is a HOME RUN! haha

Boy Birthday Card with Lawn Fawn’s Pivot Pop Up Die and Waffleflower Batter Stamp Set…

July 8, 2020July 8, 2020 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone! Back with another boy birthday card! I saw the idea for this card on a fb group. I bought a cut file from the Silhouette store for the front. I cut it on my Scan and Cut machine.

I used a combination of Waffleflower stamps and Lawn Fawn stamps for the sentiments. The cute ball players are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

The pivot pop up card mechanism die is from Lawn Fawn.

The cloud is the smaller of the Memory Box Marshmallow cloud set. The hill border from Lawn Fawn.

I’ve always loved silhouettes… so fun to be able to cut my own!

A couple more inside shots and then a video of how it works….

These pattern papers are from my stash. Oldies but perfect for this, from Lasting Impressions for Paper.

Linking up to the SSS Wednesday Moving Parts Challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by to see this Summer card! It was a shame the boys didn’t get to play this year. I’ll link up what I used below.
