Big Jolly Santa Small Die of the Month from Spellbinders…

October 10, 2023October 10, 2023 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! I tried my hand at scene making again! Big Jolly Santa needed a vehicle! A modern day 4 wheel drive! lol Speedy delivery!

Here’s my take on Spellbinders Small Die of the Month club for October.

Learn about Spellbinders Clubs HERE…

The pick up is still available! I’ll link it at the bottom of my post.

Die cutting and gluing again but I did stamp the tailgate of the pick up with the Merry Christmas from July’s Clear Stamp and Die set of the month. I’ll link it up at the bottom of my post.

Such a cute Santa and very easy to put together with lines that tell you where things go!

I cut a piece of gray cardstock for the concrete and used a Copic Sketch Marker to color in the tire tracks.

The white panel the scene is built on is 5 ½ in. x 5 ½ in. Then I matted with black cardstock and then on to a 6×6 square cardbase.

I used glossy black cardstock to die cut the truck and silver foil cardstock to die cut the bumper, tail lights and mirrors.

On second thought, I think he’s in a parade! lol

Hope you enjoyed another whimsical Christmas card!

Thank you for stopping by my blog! We need our cardmaking therapy more than ever right now.

Talk to you again soon!

P.S. I don’t know what happened for commenting but something has changed. It looks like if you choose the envelope icon and just type in your name it will let you comment. Sorry, I hate it when they change things. (supposedly making it easier, ha, for who?) I can’t reply with a thank you if I don’t see an email or name though. boo.

poppystamps Sweet Nordic Snowman Snowglobe Easel Card…

October 6, 2023 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Hi everyone! I had fun making this cute, easy easel snowglobe card. Click/tap on the bottom right corner to size it to your device.

Partial diecut a circle in a regular A2 size cardbase and you’re ready to add the snowglobe!

I die cut the images, NEW Sweet Nordic Snowman and NEW Lavish Merry Christmas, in white cardstock and colored with Copic Sketch markers.

A little Tumbled Glass Oxide ink in the sky and a few little snowflakes from the NEW Shining Star stamp set stamped in the same ink except I stamped off first before stamping them on the card.

The NEW Simple Rings circle frame is cut from Memory Box woodgrain cardstock and the NEW Snowglobe Base is cut from old Bazzill cardstock.

Here’s a bunch of pictures. So cute!

Peace on Earth is from the NEW Christmas Banners stamp set. Dies for cutting them out too!

It will lay flat or stand like a regular A2 size card also.

I hope this cutie made you smile! She was easy to put together and I love this treeline background die! It’s part of the NEW Whittle Field and Trees! Super neat die set!

Have a great weekend! I’m hoping to get some apples processed and bread made and cards made and and and! haha

Spellbinders Dancin’ Christmas Cute…

September 20, 2023 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! This cutie Dancin’ Figgy Pudding made up so cute as an ornament or it could be a gift tag too! The legs swing on their own and it’s so cute! I love it so much!

It’s real straight forward. Die cut the pieces, glue and boom, you’re done. The pieces are easy sizes to work with. Even the berries are finger manageable!

I did a little Gathered Twigs Distress inking with the foam mini blending tool and a little white pen here and there.

It is nice to have a pick up tool for the eyes and cheeks.

I’ve never eaten figgy pudding but it’s something I should look up! I’m even more curious now!

I made up the Dancin’ Penguin as an ornament too! One of our grandsons loves penguins so I made one for him and one for me! lol

He’s actually a Skating penguin! So cute and his skates move too! Not quite as easily as the legs on the pudding though.

Below is the scarf before I thought to add white with a Posca pen.

Super cute and again so easy to put together. I finished the back so if it twirls on the tree, it’ll still look cute!

I still have the Gingerbread and Mouse to make. The cuteness factor from Spellbinders makes me happy!

Thank you for clicking over to see these characters! I hope they make you smile too!

Memory Box Christmas 2023 Release – Glorious Poinsettia Card

September 19, 2023September 19, 2023 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m getting a poinsettia card posted before you can buy them in the stores! I always look forward to them showing up for sale! The seas of poinsettias when you walk in the door!

I went with pink for this BRAND NEW Glorious Poinsettia! I used Distress Oxide Inks, Worn Lipstick, Lumberjack Plaid, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss. I absolutely love coloring white cardstock with inks and blending tools or brushes. I die cut and used Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock this time.

I used Worn Lipstick on the tips of the leaves and Lumberjack Plaid from the centers out.

Oh, I used Fossilized Amber for the centers. I got a little green on the center that’s connected to the stem but I liked it that way!

I used the New Merry Christmas Charmed Script Sentiment die. I used it this way but you’ll notice on Dave’s card HERE page 43 in the Memory Box idea book that you can use it another way also! I love having more than one option!

I used the Rectangle Double Border Hot Foil Plate and A2 Rectangle Frames Die set to make the panel the poinsettia is mounted on.

I used my fave thin mounting tape, linked below to stick the panel to the cardbase.

Linking to some challenges…

The Flower Challenge #84 – Use a Die and flower/s

Triple B Challenge – Birds, Butterflies and Blooms

The Sisterhood of Crafters – Die Cuts

Addicted To Stamps and More #454 – Any Occasion

And so the festive cards begin! I’m excited and I hope you are too!

Talk to you again soon!

Spellbinders Sealed Christmas Sprigs Card…

September 13, 2023September 13, 2023 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! The dies I used on my card today are part of the NEW Spellbinders Sealed For Christmas Release. I don’t have the wax seals but I was able to use this fun foliage and floral die set anyway and used one of the Make it Merry Sentiment Banner dies. Three banners in the set, Jingle All the Way, Make It Merry and the one I used, ‘Tis the Season.

I foiled the Plaid Tidings Hot Foil Plate on a white panel for the background and edged it with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.

I die cut the twigs a few times and placed them where I liked the arrangement, picked them up with Press n Seal, put mounting foam on the back (the thin stuff I like), turned it over and hovered over my front panel and then stuck it where I liked it!

Added the sentiment, Layered on red cardstock and then teal cardstock.

This is closer to an A7 size card than an A2. The plaid foiled panel is A2 size. It will fit in an A7 envelope and mail for one stamp!

I like it a lot! I love these colors together. Next time I would make the panel smaller and keep it to an A2 size card. They’re easier to take pictures of! lol

Half way through September….I know I’m always saying this but I can’t believe it! We’ll just keep making and hope we’re ready for the holidays, right?! After all it’s people that are the most important!

I’ll be back with the cutest little ornaments I’m making soon!
