Lawn Fawn Build A House Christmas Tags…

October 21, 2019October 23, 2019 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! Last week Thursday I got to have a craft day with one of our granddaughters Lizzie Faith. One of the things we did was play with this new Lawn Fawn Build a House die set. I’ll link below. It’s not very often I get grands one on one so we made the best of the day!

Here’s my two tags and then I’ll add a picture of Lizzie Faith and her tag. She also made a couple cards with the Spellbinders Merry Everything Card kit and then she drew and Copic colored an 8×10 picture of Dragon Prince. The girls got talent drawing!

I just picked out scraps in some teals and pinks and started die cutting. I was inspired by Kay Miller’s tags HERE! So festive and fun… always love what Kay designs and makes!

I did end up adding some white gel pen embellishing and glossy accents to the light bulbs. I die cut the main house piece inside the fold so I’d have a tag with an opening card. If you look close, you can see that’s how my tags are standing up.

Funny how flat photos the color changes some… I liked the picture though. lol

Ok – here’s Lizzie Faith working on her tag…

And here’s her finished tag! She added snow and sparkle! A sweet gingerbread house!

So fun, we need to do more craft days around here… Summer is so busy with swimming and gymnastics, we don’t get as many cardmaking days in.

Thanks for stopping by and hope we made you smile!

New Memory Box Snowman Circle Collage and Bauble Snowflake Corner Card…

October 16, 2019October 16, 2019 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Frosty here… and yes he does come with two hats and a scarf, so cute! I left him plain jane today but it’s still magical frosty with this beautiful Bauble Snowflake Corner! HERE he is made up (by MB owner, Dave) all colorful cute on the cover of the new Look Book.

I die cut and flat glued everything. Stamped the sentiment with We R Memory Keepers Advanced Precision Press and Black Archival ink.

I added a few baby white pearls on the snowflakes and black tiny gems for his buttons.

A very sweet, clean and simple card. He’ll be back again someday!

I hope you’re enjoying all the new products from Memory Box! During September, Simon Says Stamp had posts on Instagram introducing stamp and die company owners. One they posted was Dave and Monica that own Memory Box, poppystamps and Birch Press Design! So if you click HERE, it’ll take you to that post and you can meet them and see their picture! (you might have to scroll up, over in the text part to read the post) Fun!

Thank you for stopping by! Talk to you again soon!

NEW Memory Box Anitque Holly Label and More Card…

October 15, 2019October 15, 2019 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! THERE’S MORE NEW FROM MEMORY BOX!!! And I’m here to start sharing it today! You know me…I love all things Christmas and Winter! So here’s some fabulous holly, greens and snow topping one of the pattern papers from the NEW Memory Box Dashing Holiday paper pad!!! Super festive and there’s a coordinating pad called Dashing Stripes and Dots also!

I layered the NEW Antique Pine Label die cut under three layers of the New Antique Holly Label die cuts. I was tempted to add the NEW Antique Greenery Label too but I didn’t. I decided adding white would add some brightness that the card needed and out came the New from the Holiday release Bauble Snowflakes.

The word MERRY in the label is from the NEW Mini Vintage Varsity Christmas dies. The script Christmas is from the NEW Merry Christmas Noted Script dies. I love these fonts!

Oh it’s festive with the white, plaid, red and green! I was happy when done. YAY!

Snowman card coming tomorrow… super CAS but sweet! I have lots to make and show and tell, so come on back to celebrate the season with me! I’d love to see what you’re making too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Memory Box Simple Poinsettia Frame Card and Jolly Snowflake Trio and Snowflake Marquee Card…

October 8, 2019October 8, 2019 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! I know, I know… yes this one is a napkin technique card (see the technique here) but the card below is not! I don’t have another one in the works! lol I do love it so much though!

I’ll link up the dies I used below instead of typing it all out here…

I think this one has a retro feel to it. Super festive! This Bazzill Mint Julep cardstock is just so fun and unusual to me.

So here’s an oxide background tall card, it fits in a standard #10 business size envelope. You can buy these that look nice like stationery too… they don’t have to be the kind that look like you’d send a bill or payment in. lol

I inlaid these die cuts in the tall card panel. I use scor-tape on the back to hold the die cuts in place.

I tried to capture the sparkle of the glitter cardstock but you know how it is, so much better IRL even with a good camera! Course there’s the operator behind the camera. haha

I heat embossed the sentiments on black cardstock with white powder.

The background is Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire and a little Black Soot on the edges.

It’s been cooler here lately…I was beginning to wonder! 😀

Stay tuned! Something GREAT is coming our way REAL SOON!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
