Simon Says Stamp NEW Release Good Vibes!!!

June 20, 2018 Pam Sparks5 Comments

Cute or what?!!! This pup has the right idea for staying cool this Summer!

Simon Says Stamps sent me this super cute stamp set to create with from their new release Good Vibes. So I set to Copic coloring!

The name of this set is Summer Cuddly Critters, you can check it out HERE.

I just had to grab the mirror silver cardstock for the ‘shades’. So funny… when you hold the card up, you can see yourself in them, just like the real thing!

Super easy card really… a Lawn Fawn Stitched sun die… the MFT Beach die set and the Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangle die that I love to use!

I stamped in the MISTI with Ranger Archival black ink for the sentiments and Memento Tuxedo Black for the images I colored.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy shopping the new release HERE! Some fab stuff again! yay!

Memory Box Riverbank Oval and poppystamps Best Wishes Folksy Script…

June 17, 2018June 17, 2018 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! Happy Father’s Day to your families!

A masculine card to share with you today from the new MB/ps release. A panel of plaid paper…some textured cardstock to coordinate… the NEW Riverbank Oval die…cut first and then I put it in the Stitched Oval Layers die to run it through the machine again to get the stitch lines on it! It’s a neat die either way but you know me… use as many dies as you can on a card Pam! haha

Shop the new release HERE… lots of pattern paper HERE…

I die cut the NEW Best Wishes Folksy Script die in tan cardstock 3 times and glued them together…it’s nice when there’s wide spaces to put the glue. I don’t put glue on every area.

I love the PVA glue Cindy sells. I put it in the Ultrafine tip bottles with the pin top for this. (links below) Tombow Mono Multi comes in 2nd place right now! I can’t give it up completely yet! hehe

So glad for a day to recognize Father’s. My dad added so much to my life… so many good memories…a great man of God. Thankful for the wonderful Father my husband is to our daughter’s too, Happy Dad’s day Tim!

Hope you had some fun creating masculine cards this weekend too! or earlier…for the ones of you that aren’t last minute looloos like me! haha

Thanks for stopping by!

Embossing Paste With a Stencil…

June 14, 2018June 14, 2018 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Celebrate! Hello everyone! I watched a video by Shauna from the Foiled Fox and loved her cards. I don’t have the same things but I want the stencil she used too! lol Her cards are so pretty…I just had to make some! The theme for this months swap at stamp club was anniversary so I had added incentive to make!

I used a Memory Box stencil and had to tape off some of it like she did, so go through your collection and be amazed at what you come up with… like I was!

I won’t explain much because her video tells easier than I can write it up…

I’m really happy with my two cards… already used this gold one (for the card swap)! I used gold glitter embossing powder from Judikins.

The celebrate die is from birchpressdesigns.

The next card is the same technique but using Silver glitter embossing powder…

I wish you could see them IRL…so pretty!

This one I used a Simon Says stamp die and stamp set for the sentiment.

Holler if you have any questions. What’s old is new again! Gotta love revisiting the old techniques.

Thanks for stopping by! Hey before you click away…. be watching…NEW Memory Box and poppystamps coming very soon, like tomorrow! hehe

Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Meets MFT BB Rain or Shine…

June 11, 2018 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! Starting out Monday right with a blog post! I have a birthday card to share that I made for our granddaughter Anya’s 13th birthday. She loved it! Now to get her over here to make one herself! 😀

I colored this cute gal and ducks from MFT’s Rain or Shine stamp set with my new color pencils on Neenah 110# Solar White cardstock…inked on the clouds with an MFT cloud stencil and the mini ink blending tool, oh and a little concrete in inked on the bottom and stamped with a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Sentiment stamp set.

It’s a cloudy day here so far…goes right a long with my card! Thankful for the rain though, cuz… the trees you know! lol

I used the Speech Bubble Add on this time to make the window for the sentiments to show up in and four sentiments from the Reveal Wheel Sentiments set.

Here’s Lawn Fawn Kelly Marie’s video on making the Reveal Wheel card. It’s an A2 size card and amazingly easy! yay!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy coloring, card making this week to you!
