Paper Smooches and Memory Box…

February 8, 2014February 10, 2014 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! I’m behind posting cards… so there’s a few in this post… then Tilda coming for Tilda’s Town and then a Printworks snowman! So hang on but don’t worry, I’m not going to start posting everyday all the time!

I wanted to get in on the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge Blog Anything Goes post. This is a birthday card I made for Tim. I saw one of the PS designers using this flourish for a snow look so I had to do it too! Stamped with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. Perfect for a January birthday! Colored with Copic Sketch Markers. Right now ‘deer’ aren’t so ‘dear’ to me though. Hit one with my car in July and did a lot of damage. I just like the stamp and paper cute ones now!!!

A little Wink of Stella Glitter marker on the flakes and flourish too!

Happy Day! My Deer card was one of the featured cards for this challenge! YAY!

A couple cards with Memory Box dies…another Birthday and hey… a start on Christmas cards too!

the Grand Happy Birthday die, Delightful Peony dies and the poppystamps Fading Dot Border die…

the Grand Merry Christmas die, Bells are Ringing die and Piestra Tile die…

Thanks for stopping by! It’s snowing here in Iowa… so pretty! Happy stamping weekend to you!

Tulip Stems and Queen of Hearts…

January 30, 2014January 31, 2014 Pam Sparks23 Comments

Thank you So much – white heat embossed on vellum. So fun that vellum is new again! I die cut, embossed and colored the Tulip Stems die with Copic Sketch markers… V22, 25, 28 and YG21, 23, 25, 17.

Memory Box Distress Dot violet paper and Violet A-2 Notecard.

I’m entering this card in the CASE Study Challenge #176.

Here’s a close up…

I just had to use this Queen of Hearts die! Of course you think of black and red with Queen things! oh and Silver glitter paper is a must! haha

I dry embossed the NEW Flourish Stencil on the red heart and rubbed over it with a little Walnut Stain Distress ink and the ink blending tool.

Just a subtle look but I like that it’s delicate to go with the fine lines of the die!

This die cuts perfect and beautiful every time!

LOVE is cut with the UpperCase Classic Alphabet… love Memory Box Alphabets!

I’m linking up to Simon Says Stamp Work it Wednesday

Thanks for stopping by! Hoping to do a snowman next! It’s still Winter even though we’re working with all these new flower dies!

Prim Poppy Goes Postal…

January 28, 2014April 7, 2014 Pam Sparks18 Comments

Hello! My ‘Day 4’ card for the Stenciled Online Class.

I dry embossed using Mister Huey’s Chevron Stencil…ran it through the Big Shot like this… multi purpose platform tab 1, cutting plate, stencil, card-stock, tan mat, 3 to 5 pieces of 65# card-stock for shimming then another cutting plate on top… run it through. One thing I do if my spray bottle is right there… I spritz with water so it embosses a tad bit more. Then inked the panel with Walnut Stain Distress ink using the Ink Blending Tool.

Some Little B airmail Washi Tape, an airmail mini envelope from Impress Rubber Stamps.com, some airmail twine, Memory Box Prim Poppy die cut from green and red then pieced together and an old Hero Arts hello stamp! I used the Tiny Attacher to staple on the sentiment piece.

Linking to the Daring Cardmakers Challenge – Stripes

I hope to make some more from the inspiration shared in this class. Thanks for stopping by!
