Simon Says Stamp Good Luck Charm Release and Copic Sale…

February 24, 2022 Pam Sparks4 Comments

Welcome to my blog today! I have a card to share with one of the new stamps sets from the NEW Simon Says Stamp Good Luck Charm Release!

Since it’s February and all about hearts… I went with a heart presentation for this Get Well Card using the NEW Well Wishes stamp set.

I used the ‘feel better soon’ stamp to create a 5 ¼ inch square background by stamping it four times on gray with dark gray ink.

I love how easy it stamped! I just used an acrylic block and it stamped beautifully! I stamped it on a Honeybee Stacking Hearts Die die cut in red. Backed it with a Honeybee Scallop Hearts Die cut in white.

‘You are on my heart’ is from the new SSS stamp set also. I stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with Lawn Fawn white embossing powder on black.

I love how crisp it all looks…and cheery too!

It’s 5 ½ inches square so it will require the extra ounce postage to snail mail. Worth it! hehe

NOW for What’s on SALE at SSS! I need some refills so I better order!

Thank you for clicking over!

NEW Memory Box Riverbank Large Layered Blooms and Exquisite Leaf Dies Card…

February 22, 2022 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! We’re far from flowers blooming in Iowa today…woke up to ice and now a little snow! haha

Paper flowers are always in season though! YAY!

and this one is so pretty and easy to make! It’s really a clean and simple card with Memory Box 6×6 cardstock pads. I used the 3 yellows from the Sunny Orange collection pad… prettier in real life! The green is from the Green Lush pad.

I edged everything with a little Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and the mini ink blending tool.

When I glued the three petal sections together, I laid them on top of the envelope picture for placement… that sure works slick. If I hadn’t thought of that last year, I would be fiddling for hours with placement. Insert eye rolling!

This is an A2 size card.

I die cut the Exquisite Leaf Frame, the three leaf image and single leaf image from the Exquisite Leaf Set for this card. Gorgeous, gorgeous dies!!! I love these leaves! It’s gonna be fun playing with all the new dies.

I used a sentiment from the NEW poppystamps Colorful Life stamp set. White heat embossed on Taylored Expressions Oreo cardstock. Another fabulous set full of great sentiments! Wishing you Happiness on your special day….enjoy each Joyful moment…your sweet smile can change the world…Big Hugs…Hello Sunshine and tons more!

I die cut Hello Lovely with one of the rectangles from the poppystamps contempo Greetings set.

I think that’s everything! A little Spring in your day today and this yellow is so pretty and I’m not a yellow person! haha

Thank you for stopping by and for all your encouraging words! I got my Valentines all done for the family and I’ll be posting them soon… that’s where I’ve been! We had our annual Valentine, pizza party Saturday evening. Super fun! Whoever wants to, makes ATCs and we pass them out. Lilli was super creative and made cookie boxes! So fun and yummy!

I’ll be back soon with more NEW from Memory Box, poppystamps and Birch Press Designs!

February 16, 2022February 16, 2022 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi friends and papercrafters! A CAS card to share with you today.

Inlaid die cutting with Birch Press Design’s New Adornment Peony die. I die cut the flower in white and ink blended Picked Raspberry Oxide Ink on the flower petals and Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Oxide inks on the leaves with Taylored Expressions Blending Brushes. This is an awesome set…the solid dies for backing the die piecing parts is in included!

I die cut the top panel with the Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangles Die set.

I stamped the sentiment from the poppystamps Diamond Sentiments clear stamp set with Peacock Feathers Oxide ink in the MISTI.

I added a scatter of several Memory Box Clear Fairy Drops.

It’s lighter, pinker than my pictures show. ugh. I tried. lol

It’s unusually warm here so far today…55˚ but suppose to go down to 12˚ before the day is over! eek! Guess I’ll stay in and keep working.

poppystamps Tall Curved Heart Arch Card…

February 14, 2022 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Happy Valentines Day! Here I am at the last minute sharing one more heart card!

I die cut the new poppystamps Tall Curved Heart Arch two dies from white cardstock and colored both with Copic Sketch Markers. R24, G82, G85, E42 and E44.

I love this sentiment from poppystamps Marzipan Greetings. I inked with Versamark in the Misti and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I die cut two poppystamps Tall Curve Background from a piece of Simple Stories woodgrain pattern paper and layered them on the poppystamps Oval Fold Frame die cut in Memory Box 6×6 Garland Stripes and Dots pattern paper pad.

I colored a scrap of white with R24 and die cut some small hearts using the small heart die that comes with the Memory Box Heart Streamer Globe die. I glued them to the oval that is a die in the Oval Fold Frame set.

It’s an A2 size card that should mail easily with one postage stamp.

It turned out fun! I always love kraft and paper hugs! ❤

Stay tuned! More NEW coming! ttul!
