January Birthday Review day…

Pam Sparks16 Comments

I colored up little Daphne’s Balloons from CC Designs Sweet November Fairwees Birthday collection for today’s post.   She’s hangin’ on so cute…lovin’ those balloons!  Kids and balloons… Tim’s mom loves to give the grands balloons and they love them too…they make me so nervous! Pinching and poking makes me sure they will pop! lol  The new Party Time Logos in the CC Designs January release are so cool!  Be sure to check them out!  I have something I want to try with one of them but not sure it’s gonna work yet…

Daphne is stamped on Hammermill Color Copy Cover 80# paper with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers.  Her hair is E23, 25, 27 and 29;  her face is E000,00,11, R20,22; her wings are BG00, 01;  her dress is E81, 87, R24, 27, 29.  Balloons are YR12, 04, 07 and W1 over the top and R 24, 27, 29, 59 and W5 over the top.

I used the tops of the CCD Cutters Mistletoe die for the tree tops.  Added a little foliage “look” with Copics YG93 and 95.  The pattern paper I used is from Simple Stories Happy Day 6×6  pad.  I love the pad but they are sure different colors to photograph…bet it was just that orange throwin’ me off kilter!  eek! lol  It’s really not fluorescent IRL!

Marianne Design World Design Team…

I’m so excited and honored to be a new member of the Marianne Design World Design Team! I love to be challenged and using her dies, stamps and supplies to create with is going to be great fun! So….here’s hoping I can inspire and challenge you at the same time!

Today I’m posting two cards. A Clean and Simple card with the new tree Creatables die LR0203 from the January release.  I LOVE scene dies! = )  I wish I hadn’t used such dark brown card-stock …if you watch the video you’ll see the detail of the die better! The sentiment stamp is C2398 from Printworks.

Here’s a video to show how I layered the tree.

Then my second card is a Don and Daisy stamp from Marianne Design that I colored and matted on a Marianne Design Craftables Rectangle die set CR1202, the black dot ribbon is from Marianne Design and the Elegant Brocade stamp is from Hero Arts.  SOOOO CUTE!  Don is so sweet to carry Daisy over the threshold! hehe

 

They just make a gal smile!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Weekend to you!

I went with a CAS card today…although the simple part sure can’t count toward the amount of time spent! I find that clean and simple takes me almost as long as the other kind of cards I normally do!!!  Wacko! It doesn’t help when you make booboos!  haha!

Monkey Zoo celebrates!

Pam Sparks27 Comments

Are you smiling?  This little monkey is new for CC Designs January release and called Monkey Zoo.  Comes with it’s own birthday sentiment too!  I was washing up a few pans, thinking…wanting something fun to create with this cutie and thought circus tent!  Well,  sure enough,  googled and found this card HERE.  So cute and easy to piece together too!

I printed Heidi’s pattern and then held it behind my pattern paper by my desk light so I could see through it to cut it out.  To make the card I used a piece of card-stock scored at folded at 4 1/4 in. wide.  I held the tent base piece on top of the folded card and cut on the tent pattern sides.  Adhered it to the tent top.  I used a toothpick on the top to hold the flag and bead.  On the back I cut a piece of card-stock the same color as the folded card and glued it over the top so that the back side is all covered and the same color.  Cute!  Easy too.

and from the front…

When I was in grade school…one of the gals in our class had a pet monkey!  Crazy….I’m not much of an animal lover, so of course I didn’t hold it!  eek! lol  They are entertaining in the zoo, that’s for sure!

Thanks for your visit and comments….I appreciate it!

Happy Birthday…

Pam Sparks25 Comments

This new CC Designs Swiss Pixies Lucy can stand alone because she is the cutest thing ever!

Well,  here’s the whole card…

Our granddaughter Lilli turns 7 on the 8th.  Yep,  you guessed it,  she’s a red-head!  This card is for you Lilli!  Happy Birthday!  AND,  she loves pink!  She loves to color with copics too… for Christmas I gave her the markers to color red hair, cuz she loves to color her color hair! hehe  Today I used E97, E08 and E19 for her hair.  Her skin is E000, 00, 21, cheeks are R20, 21, 22…micro amounts! lol   All the pink is R81, 83 and 85.

I used Party Time Lucy,  Party Time Logos and the Candle border die.

Here’s a side view…

I hope you can see that I used two different pattern papers for the candle border die.  I cut the candle border out of each one…kept  the back piece with the flame and attached the second piece to the top after I cut the flames off… very easy!  You probably can’t really see this,  but I embossed lines with the small end of a stylus between the candles to give definition and dimension.

I used Marga’s sketch from Scrap-en-stempel club blog HERE.

Wish you could see this one IRL… so sweet.  I know what my friend Linda is going to say….another pink card! lol  She’ll get to see it at stamp club! lol

Thanks for visiting Lucy and me today!  We loved having you over!  = )
