Printworks Collection LE Snowman Sweet Jill, new release and free shipping!

January 26, 2018January 26, 2018 Pam Sparks22 Comments

Hi everyone! We’re warm here today…talk about extremes in Iowa…we have that with temperatures for sure! The snow ppl population would all be extinct here this week! lol

Fortunately Printworks has tons of snowmen for us to stamp and color! AND a special running right now (through the 28th) with free shipping when you order $30 or more! BE SURE to use code “PAM5” in the comment section of your order for 5% off.

Here’s some more pictures of Sweet Jill…

I stamped her with Ranger Archival Black ink and watercolored her with Prima Tropical watercolor set. I only have one of these sets but what fun colors!

A poppystamps snowflake die cut in white and painted with the same paints. A hot pink Doodlebug Sprinkle enamel dot and washi tape to finish it off.

On the inside I used the new stamp Warmest Winter Wishes…I meant to take a picture of the inside but I forgot. ugh. Here’s the stamp image though and I used the other two poppystamps snowflakes from the die set on the inside too.

Fun to get some coloring in today…I keep jumping in on the daily marker 30 day coloring challenge when I can. Need that colorbook therapy now and then you know! hehe

Memory Box Pinpoint Heart, Cheery Collage and Have a Heart dies…

January 24, 2018February 6, 2018 Pam Sparks24 Comments

Hello and happy card making to you! Working on a little card stash for posting again…

I love this Pinpoint Heart die and all the dies that have the ‘things’ outside the cut lines for accenting the shape!

A very basic card…die cut the heart ‘off the page’. Die cut the pattern paper with a coordinating heart die from the Have A Heart die set. I used one just a touch larger than the heart from the Pinpoint heart die. You could use the Pinpoint Heart though instead.

Mount up the panel with Scotch Mounting tape…loving the ¾ inch huge roll. I have it on a spring rod between some shelves! lol So handy to snip off a piece and chop it up to the sizes I need. It’s just the right thickness too… or I could say ‘thinness’! lol Stick it to the card-base, add the pattern heart first though if you’re using the larger heart die.

Die cut the Cheery Flower Collage die in black and snip out the flowers. I glued the stems flat to the card and used little pieces of mounting tape behind the flowers.

I added the sticker strips from the ‘So Loved’ paper pack…links below for everything. There are several sentiments in the pack.

The pattern paper is from this paper pack too…

I added some twine and matte dots and called it done! yay! One more for the Valentine stash!

poppystamps Heart Confetti Collage and Memory Box Heart Gift Box…

January 14, 2018January 30, 2018 Pam Sparks24 Comments

I love this non-traditional color combo for hearts! I started near the top of a 4 x 5 ¼ panel of Neenah Solar White 110# cover Classic Crest Smooth card-stock blending on Distress ink pad colors with the foam ink blending tool. Spiced Marmalade first, then Carved Pumpkin, then Picked Raspberry and ending with Spun Sugar.

I die cut the poppystamps Heart Confetti Collage die in a panel of the same card-stock that was die cut first with the Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangle die that is the same size as an A2 card.

I stamped the sentiment from the new poppystamps Valentine Fairies stamp set, with the MISIT stamping tool and Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I added a couple Doodlebug matte sprinkles on each end. Definitely a CAS card!

I love this new little Memory Box Heart Gift Box… super cute. I die cut it once in pink and once in white. The smaller heart is from the collage die I used on the card. I cut the white die cut down to use behind the hole.

The arrow is from the Memory Box Cupid’s Tools die.

fun! You could cut six of these Heart Gift Boxes and make a flower!

I’m back today to show some more new dies! I love this script new happy valentines day die! Easy to glue up, fits nicely and easy to read! Then this new frame die set with double stitches…I’m gonna get a lot of miles out of it!

The ‘We Wish You A’ stamp is from the Merry Christmas sentiment stamp set… I’ll link everything below. I like this little set a lot!

The smoke rising from the chimney is from the Bumblebee Daydreams stamp set.

poppystamps Love Stitch Circle Frame, Tumbled Heart Collage and Embossed Heart Taglet card…

January 12, 2018January 12, 2018 Pam Sparks19 Comments

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/Holiday season! Now I need to get back up to speed and get to posting Valentines! How can it be that time already?! lol Don’t tell anybody but our Christmas tree is still up! I know, I know…we have to store it in our garage and it’s not connected to the house and it’s been really cold…that’s my excuse. I have to get it down tomorrow! lol

Isn’t that a cute little tag? I love it tied on their with twine! The sentiment is from the new poppystamps Valentine Fairies stamp set.

My all time favorite colors here… hehe

poppystamps Love Stitch Circle Frame is cut in kraft and red. The red love trimmed out an glued over the kraft love.

poppystamps Tumbled Heart Collage is cut in black and just a couple hearts cut in white and colored with Copics…you could sure cut in red card-stock though!

I used foam tape behind the kraft love frame and stuck it to the black piece.

It’s a fabulous poppystamps and Memory Box release again!!! Lots more to come so stay subscribed or subscribe! hehe
