Waffleflower Postage Collage Masculine Card…

July 7, 2026July 7, 2026 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hello everyone! I’m having fun making postage cards! We’ll just call it a birthday series! lol One thing about it, the investment in all of it will be worth it by the time I make a zillion cards with it all!

This one is A2 size. I used the A2 Postage Collage Die, the matching Postage Collage Blocks Die, the Postage Collage stamp set and the Postage Collage Dad Stencil set.

I used Distress Dye Ink pads and detail brushes for inking the stencils.

There are two different stencil sets for inking the backgrounds. I’m linking both up below but for this card I didn’t need to use either of them. I bought the set called Coloring Stencils, it has the stencil to make a solid background (which you can buy just that one) but I wanted the one that did circles, stripes and the airmail border too!!!

The stamping I did with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I think I used a woodblock stamp for the Happy Birthday sentiment.

I like to do stenciling with the Wendy Vecchi Make Art Stay-tion… I’ll link it below.

Linking to some card challenges!

Stencil Fun July 2026 – anything goes as long as you use stencils, optional patterns (I used stencils)

Addicted To Stamps and More -die cuts and/or stencils (I used both)

NBUS #88 – Mutual Appreciation Celebration! (NBUS – Dad Stencil set)

Inkspirational #371 – Summer vibe and inspiration photo

Tic Tac Toe #296 – with a crafty twist! (Summer colors/diecut/layers)

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!

Hi everyone! Birthday cards galore today! Keep scrolling…lots of pictures. Not much text!

Coffee is always a hit if you’re a coffee drinker!

Getting some mileage out of this Hat set from Stampin Up!

Here’s a short, short video of how this card works. The color is better in the video too. Give it a second to load to full resolution.

Another hat card with a fishing theme…

Another coffee card!

Coffee has a big job! hahahahahahaha

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….

the back…

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!

I’ll link up the products that I used, that I can find, below!

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
