Memory Box Scribble Christmas and Day 3 of the 30 day coloring challenge…

November 3, 2016November 6, 2016 Pam Sparks13 Comments

Oh what fun! Non traditional colors! Hi everyone! Today I broke out the Memory Box Scribble Christmas stamp set and the coordinating die set. The pine branch is from the poppystamps Poinsettia Peace stamp set.

I used Altenew inks to stamp and color the ornaments, the pink series (Red Cosmos), and Evergreen Bough Distress ink pad and marker to stamp and color the holly and branches.

I stamped the ornaments using the MISTI with the different colors of ink. The greenery I just used acrylic blocks, they were easy to line up. I embossed the outline images with Silver Glitter embossing powder. You can click on the pictures and kinda see the sparkle better.

Very fun sets to play with!

Take a look at the Memory Box stamp and die sets HERE…so many fun pieces to create with!

oops! In my post yesterday, I didn’t put the right link in the paragraph about Starlitstudio having a great sale on Penny Black stamps and dies! HERE is the right link! Sorry about that! Her prices are so good but take a look at the additional discount and shop ’til you drop! lol You’ll be glad you clicked over!

Hi everyone! These cute kitties are all festive, toasty and warm! So cute and fun to color and embellish with all the little extras in the stamp and die sets, the holly, the santa hats, the bow, the gift and so much more!

The dies I used are the poppystamps Classic Brick Fireplace, Stocking Garland, Warm and Cozy Fire, Fireplace Logs and Pine Garland.

The fireplace inside wall is ink blended with Distress ink pads and ink blending tools, Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey. The fire and logs are die cut in white card-stock and then colored. The fire with Distress ink pads and ink blending tools, Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey and Fired Brick. The logs with Copics.

I ink blended the walls and floor of the card-base with Tumbled Glass, Antique Linen and Pumice Stone Distress inks.

The white on the stocking and hats is Nuvo White Crystal Drops.

This is an A-2 size card. I know my grandchildren are kitty lovers and they will enjoy this card. hehe

Memory Box, poppystamps Festive, Fun and Flat Christmas Cards Class…

October 28, 2016 Pam Sparks19 Comments

Hi card makers! I wanted to share the pictures of the Festive, Fun and Flat Christmas Cards Class I taught at Scrapmania last Saturday afternoon. I tell ‘ya the gals are getting the hang of using my embedding technique with scor-tape! So fun and such a neat look! (pull down under the tab under the blog header for a video about it)

Three cards that you can embellish or leave flat for easy mailing but are still beautiful!

Merry Christmas To You Ring die embedded into an A2 size card base. On the back side it looks embossed.

Die cut layers…so pretty with Nuvo Crystal Drops Winter Blizzard to make the snowy scene look cold! brrrrr

Here I added some dots that I made with the same Nuvo drops. I made them on a piece of slick paper and then glued them on with Tombow Mono Multi glue. The top photo shows the card without any dots though.

This is a see through card…a 4.25 x 5.5 piece of acetate behind the front card base.

The Memory Box/poppystamps Holiday/Christmas release is exceptional again this year! More to come!

Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy the weekend! We’re having beautiful weather here in Iowa! yay!
