poppystamps Rose Frame and Memory Box Drifting Side Butterfly…

March 7, 2018March 7, 2018 Pam Sparks15 Comments

Could be Spring is around the corner? hehe Rained here Monday, snowed here yesterday, back in the 20’s and windy but we can think Spring! Although I prefer snow over rain myself. lol

This is my 3rd version of playing with this new poppystamps Rose Frame. I ended up revisiting my white/pink/kraft and staples cards from HERE and HERE.

I white embossed the sentiment on vellum from the Memory Box Watching the World Bloom clear stamp set and adhered it over a strip of pink card-stock. (this is such a pretty set) I used the wreath on a card HERE.

The poppystamps Berry Sprig die and the Memory Box Drifting Side Butterfly solid die are cut from the same pink.

I used Memory Box white notecards for the frame and outline butterfly.

Some gems and the Tim Holtz tiny attacher and this card was done!

The sun is peeking in and out and looking like it’s going to stay…tricky taking pictures! Oh, this is a 5 inch square card.

Thanks for stopping by! We’ll keep this Spring stuff coming! Links below to what I used on this card…

Memory Box Grand Stag Oval Frame , Pine Branch Oval Frame, Country Road Oval Birthday Card…

March 2, 2018March 16, 2018 Pam Sparks22 Comments

Hi everyone! I needed a masculine birthday card so I revisited some of the fabulous Memory Box nature dies that combine so well.

I love die cutting the Memory Box white notecards…a beautiful white card…just the right weight and die cuts beautiful. I linked to the white A2 size notecards below. I used 3 for this card with scraps leftover that I keep and use for other cuts/cards. Starlitstudio carries most of the colors.

The red plaid for happy birthday is from the Simple Stories Winter Wonderland 6×6 paper pad. (I couldn’t find it to link to)

I inked up the card base with a little Tumbled Glass Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool. I glued the Double Stitched Frame directly to the card. The oval dies were inked with Peeled Paint, Gathered Twigs using a mini ink blending tool and raised up with mounting tape. Happy Birthday was glued directly on the top.

A fun Winter, masculine birthday card that you could glam up to look like clean, sparkly snow. I suppose, since it’s March, I’m not supposed to use that ‘snow’ word anymore this year. hehe Really, this card could work for any season with a few changes.

The Greeting Farm Birthday Anya Card…

February 27, 2018 Pam Sparks18 Comments

Hi everyone! Sharing a birthday card I made for one of our granddaughters that just turned 13! Hard to believe! They grow up so fast!

Birthday Anya was stamped in the MISTI with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers. I cut her out by hand…fun to visit my coloring and cutting days again!

So fun… I love coloring redheads…Lilli is one of our 7 grands with red hair! hehe She loves pink! She loves to make cards too…for her birthday she wanted Distress Ink mini ink pads…sure made it easy for grandma! lol

I love my days stamping/cardmaking with the grandkids. We had lots of fun making Valentines. I’ll share the ones I made soon…we’re late since our family party was just Sunday night.

The dies and stamps I used are linked below! Thanks for stopping by!

poppystamps Floral Cluster CAS Birthday card…

February 23, 2018February 23, 2018 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi cardmaker friends! I’ve missed getting on here and sharing! Here’s a clean and simple birthday card, well, cuz, the birthdays just keep coming faster and faster!!!

Some die cutting…distress oxide ink blending/coloring, a stamped sentiment and done! yay!

Almost like back to the basics with these punch looking flowers but I love how they’re scattered and such happy colors!

A few mat enamel dots and it’s a sweet birthday card.

Question for you…have any of you received cards made with the do it yourself enamel dots? How did they travel through the mail? Did they squish/flatten?

ok – links to what I used below…have a great weekend! I have some more birthday cards to finish and I know…valentines! lol Our family Valentine/Birthday party is Sunday night so I’ll be back with more next week! Take care!
