Memory Box Celeste Snowflake, Snowflake Trio and Plate Card…

Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hello everyone! More snowflakes in the air and on my blog today! Free air conditioning when you open the door here in Iowa! haha

I started my card with the NEW Memory Box Celeste Plate and two colors of pink cardstock.  I used Cupcake and Pink Champagne.  I’ll link below.

I inlaid the pieces but you could just as easy glue one color over the top of the other and forgo laying in the pieces. 


I die cut the NEW Memory Box Celeste Snowflake in silver foil/mirror cardstock and the outline in white cardstock.  Super easy.

Then it took awhile to decide where to put everything on this A2 size panel! lol

I needed a sentiment so I pulled out this Memory Box Joy Posh Script die that was new last year.  It’s beautiful and feminine and fit the direction this card was taking me!

I’m getting a lot of mileage out of this NEW Memory Box Classic Pair of Ice Skates die. Here they are again embellishing the snowflake theme I have going.

I LOVE that there’s a NEW Memory Box Celeste Snowflake Trio die to complement the large Celeste Snowflake and Celeste Plate!  So I die cut them in white and glued them directly to the panel.

Some Silver pearls in the centers to bring in the silver element in the design again.  I did white first but changed to silver…done!

well almost!  Here’s the inside!  I remembered!

The NEW Memory Box Sweet Christmas stamp set to match the Posh Script Joy die on the front.  I love matching sentiments! 

I also die cut the NEW Memory Box Alpine Snowflakes die and glued them inside. Jazzed it up a little.  They are similar in design to the Celeste snowflakes so if you like to layer flakes, they work for that too!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Happy dreaming of creating all the things! eek!  How’d we get to November already anyway! ttul!

poppystamps Snowflake Loop, Proper Merry Christmas Card…

Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hello!  I’m still working my way through this beautiful Memory Box 6×6 plaid paper pad!  I love it! 

The contrast with white! The touch of gold… so festive!

All die cutting today…shoot me now!  I forgot to stamp the inside of my card!  I was sailing along so well there for a couple weeks! lol

I glued two white cuts together for the Snowflake Loop piece.  The snowflake from the set, I die cut two but just used them single. 

I used Memory Box Black Glossy cardstock for the panel and the Proper Merry Christmas sentiment.

So simple once I finally decided what colors to use for the sentiment! 

It’s a 5 ½ inch square card.  White cardbase.

Gold pearls in three sizes glued on to finish it up!

What are you making these days?  I see gals posting they’re starting to decorate their houses. We’ve been working in our basement …imagine over 100 year old basement that has plastered ceilings and walls cut into to run air conditioning ducts and wiring and plumbing etc!  Tim is taking down the plaster on the  ceilings, scraping the walls and painting the ceiling, walls AND floor!  It’s a lot…big old house.  So I’ve been moving stuff to keep ahead of him. Oh he’s building new shelves too!  I’m so excited!  Maybe I can store some of my excess stamp stuff down there!  How long should we keep boxes?!  lol  You know, the ones die cut machines come in, the MISTI boxes, etc!  Yikes! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Talk to you again soon!

Pop Up Step Birthday Cottage Cutz Camping Card…

Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! Do you have memories of camping? Our grandsons keep very busy outdoors!  They love sleeping out and all the things that go along with it!  I have fun making them cards like this.

This is a step card of sorts, not sure what it’s called. It fits in an envelope though! lol

Here’s the back side…

Here’s the inside…

Have you heard of the show Adventure Agents?  Very fun for kids!

Here it is from the side…

Close up of the critters…

All the dies are from Cottage Cutz.

And here’s a video that maybe shows how it works better… be sure to click on one of the frame options to see it large.

Holler if you have any questions!  Confession…I made this in January so I can’t remember everything! ❤

poppystamps Whittle Forest Reindeer Kit Card and Leaf and Tentril Hot Foil Card…

Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hello! How is your Holiday creating going? I cannot believe it’s November can you! Keep scrolling for card #2.

Now this cutie reindeer is going to make you smile!  Isn’t he adorable in his plaid hat!

I love this new die kit and NEW Wintertime Snowflake Frame from poppystamps!

I used the NEW Memory Box Jolly Christmas Plaid 6×6 paper pad…Memory Box Lush Green and Earth Neutral 6×6 cardstock pads.

such a cutie!

The sentiment is part of the stamp set included in the kit.  I heat embossed in white and die cut with one of the rectangle dies from the Birch Press Design Contempo Christmas Greetings die.

I love how it turned out!  I hope you love it too! hehe

On the inside I stamped a greeting from the NEW poppystamps Christmas Sparkle stamp set, ‘You make every day seem like Christmas’.  I love this set!   I used Wendy Vecchi English Ivy Archival ink pad to stamp it.  I just bought her English Ivy and Red Geranium Archival ink pads.  I love them too! lol

TIP: I tell you a lot I love this thin big roll of mounting tape that I link to at the bottom of my posts…I always forget to tell you about cutting it though!  I use the non stick scissors that I finally remembered to link to today!  I’m really glad I went ahead and purchased the scissors from Cindy because it makes a difference with sticky tape.  I love that it’s sticky because I’m assured that my card won’t fall apart after the receiver gets it! I love that it’s easier to mail too!  Win! Win!

Next Card…

NEW poppystamps Leaf and Tendril Hot Foil Plate!  Sooo pretty!  This green cardstock is from my stash but now I’m thinking there’s probably a similar green in the Memory Box Cardstock pad.

I die cut the NEW Memory Box Keep Christmas Curled Script die in gold foil/mirror cardstock.

Then I die cut it in a piece of white cardstock and inlaid the gold into the white so I didn’t have to glue all the lines!  Scor-tape on the back, flip it over and put in the insides of the letters… that’s easier imo. I also love how it looks!  So professional!

I’m not a big bow person but I love it on this card!  The NEW Memory Box Dreamy Bow die in TE Cherry Pop cardstock.

A mess of sparkly trim behind it.  Gold pearls added to dot the ‘i’s and in the corners. I love these gold pearls from starlitstudio.net.  The perfect sizes!

Both of my cards in this post are A2 size.
