Memory Box hello FALL…

October 15, 2013 Pam Sparks19 Comments

Have you heard? Fall card contest going on the Memory Box Flickr page HERE!

I’m sharing this card on the Memory Box blog today HERE … I stamped the Autumn Trees stamp with black pigment ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder on pool card-stock.

I love the Perfect Pumpkins die…I cut them in Jack O Lantern card-stock and used Copic markers E47 on the stem and a little YR12 on the lines.

I die cut the hello Script die four times and glued them together to make them sturdier and then glued directly to the card.

FALL is die cut from the Parker Upper Alphabet set one time and then I used thin black mounting squares cut in strips to mount the letters to the card.

I used the 1/8th inch Perfect Layers Ruler to mat the black card-stock behind the Pool piece and then layered it to an A-2 Crimson notecard.

Hope my hello FALL card has inspired you to get creating with Memory Box! Hope to see your creations linked up on the Flickr page!

Thanks for stopping by today! ‘preciate it!

Memory Box Addison Ornament…

October 8, 2013October 9, 2013 Pam Sparks27 Comments

I love a pretty, new snowfall…it’s always so bright outside until the snow melts. Just really cheers up the drab of Winter. How about this bright Lagoon color with white and a touch of silver and gems. A little unusual but very festive!

The small bow from Precious Snowflakes die tops the Addison Ornament Background die. I used the Sussex Snowflake die (cut twice) from a white notecard, behind the ornament and the label die from the Peaceful Snowflake Frame die set mounted on top of the ornament. I stamped the label with the all is Calm, all is Bright stamp. I just inked up the ‘all is Bright’ part of the sentiment.

Layered onto a piece of white woodgrain card-stock, then to Core’dinations Glitter silk silver cardstock (you can see what this card looks like HERE, links to purchase below) I cut with the Perfect layers tools 1/16th inch tool (link in the sidebar or below) and then on to a Lagoon A-2 Notecard.

Operation Write Home & Perfect Paper Crafting Blog Skip…

September 25, 2013September 25, 2013 Pam Sparks69 Comments

Welcome to my blog! We’re skipping today to show you the Perfect Papercrafting tools and the cards we created for Operation Write Home. The skip starts at the Stars and Stamps Blog, HERE.

Perfect Paper Crafting is a company with fabulous tools! LOVE their rulers! My video with a couple tips that I have found very helpful when using the tools is HERE.

*** There will be a $50 gift certificate from Perfect Paper Crafting for one lucky person who leaves a comment on all the blogs. ***

Operation Write Home is an amazing organization that collects handmade cards to send to soldiers who in turn use them to send home to friends and family. Wow! What an awesome thing they do and I’m delighted to have a tiny part in it today.

I created two cards for the blog skip using the Perfect Layers Tools, 1/16th inch and 1/8 inch to cut the mats on this card and Printworks Collection rubber stamps. I stamped the flowers first on watercolor paper, then masked them, stamped the cup and colored with Distress inks. Stamps I used are HERE and HERE.

A thank you card and a Christmas card! I know… I wasn’t wanting to do Christmas again but this image just needed to get inky! Let’s Go For A Walk, HERE, Tis the Season HERE. I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers. I added 1/16th inch mats with the Perfect Layers Tools. The pattern paper is from Echo Park, a 6×6 pad called Tis the Season. Holly is from the Memory Box Fabulous Holly Wreath die.
