Lawn Fawn Magic Iris Puppy Birthday Card…

March 17, 2021March 17, 2021 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Meet Maggie! lol There’s a new toy poodle at our middle daughter’s house. So I had to make our youngest grandson a cute Magic Iris Maggie card for his 6th birthday in January. So fun! Charley loves it!

I used the Memory Box Birdhouse die set for the doghouse because I don’t own the Lawn Fawn birdhouse die.

The dog dish and bone are an old big punch or were they an old Quickutz die…I can’t remember! I looked through so much stuff to find something that would work! lol

The Lawn Fawn design team is so inspiring! It’s nice as a card designer/maker not to always have to come up with a new idea!

Here it is closed… pull the arrow tab down and it opens like a camera lens, sorta kinda! hehe

and a video… it’s bad but gives you an idea of how it works.

Thank you for clicking over again today! I’ll link the products I used below. ❤

Simon Says Stamp Botanical Split Background Slimline Card…

March 16, 2021 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Today’s card I’m using the center section of this new stamp from Simon Says Stamp’s latest NEW release ‘Hello Beautiful’. It’s a cool 6×6 background stamp but it splits into three pieces and you can use it all or just parts!

I started with Strathmore Best Watercolor paper pad, the brown one, taped it down, spritzed with water good and dropped in distress ink pad refill inks. Then I used that camera lens cleaner puffer tool. I think that’s what it is anyway. To move the inky water around.

Then I dried it with the heat tool.

After it was good and dry, I used the powder tool on it before I heat embossed the stamp in white on the watercolor background.

Then the question was, what to do with it! lol

I wanted to bring in some color, so I picked a light yellow from my stash.

Heat embossed a couple sentiments on vellum from SSS Sending and Wishing stamp set. Trimmed it down, folded it around the watercolor panel, taped it on the back, die cut the label and glued it on. Nothing complicated at all!

I’ll link up what I used below…hopefully they’re all still available! Have you tried making slimline cards yet? What do you think?

Thank you for stopping by!

Memory Box All That Happiness meets poppystamps Woven Basket…

March 12, 2021 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Truth! and on the inside I used the word ‘hugs’ from the same new Memory Box All That Happiness stamp and die sets.

I’m having fun using the new Memory Box Slim dies too!

I stamped and die cut one of the floral stamps in the set….simple Copic Sketch Marker coloring, the R30’s and YG61 and 63.

I die cut the basket from TE Toffee cardstock then I remembered my new Memory Box cardstock pads and found the perfect green to die cut the berries. Dies from the new poppystamps Woven Basket Pop Up Easel Set.

A little white glaze pen on the berries…

Some baby pearls…

Popped up on mounting squares…

White heat embossed sentiment on TE black cardstock…

My granddaughter Attie sent me some pictures of her flowers popping up from the bulbs she planted last year. It’s so fun to have a 17 year old so excited about growing flowers and food! Her watermelons were the most amazing things ever last year! Huge and delicious! Here’s hoping it’s a bumper crop this year! lol

Hello Bluebird My Snowman Card…

March 9, 2021March 9, 2021 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hi everyone! yikes! I’m thinking today I better get some cards posted I made for grands so far this year! This might be the last snowman of the season for Iowa! Never know! lol It snows in April some years.

Anyway… I know you’ll love the cuteness no matter what the season!

It was a good picture day whatever day I took these pictures so I have five pics to share! ❤

I used Hello Bluebird stamps and dies for this card. I die cut the tree frame in kraft color cardstock…inked the brown trees, inked and then heat embossed the frame area with white embossing powder.

The background snow die is inked with Distress Oxide inks… ugh… I don’t remember the colors though.

I colored with Copic Sketch Markers… the sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

So fun! I always love making Winter scene cards. This one is for our first red headed granddaughter that just turned 16 in January! We have two red headed granddaughters and five red headed grandsons! My husband was a red head and two of our girls are red heads. ❤

Hope this made you smile and bring back memories! Thank you so much for stopping by! I always love hearing from you!

Memory Box and poppystamps Slimline Cards…

March 5, 2021 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone! A post today showing more new dies from Memory Box and poppystamps! Memory Box is known for it’s butterflies!

Two new ones… so pretty! These could be made up so many different ways and here I am doing monochrome! lol

Sylvan Butterfly is the larger die set and Glade Buttlerfly is the smaller die set.

I chose the new Memory Box Happy Easter Posh Script die for the sentiment at the bottom but there are a few other new sentiment dies that would be beautiful also… Thank you Posh Script, Just a Note Posh Script and Birthday Mail Posh Script.

I did some inlaying with the new poppystamps Slim Leafy Collage die. I cut in two colors and stuck the pieces back in. It’s pretty with them left out too. Just something therapeutic about using the pieces laying there. lol

For both my cards today I used the new Memory Box Slim Basic Rectangle Layers die set… this is a cool set. I especially love the smallest two for sentiments! Trim to length!

My next card is another slimline…

I used the new Memory Box Spring Plaid Slim paper pad! Almost too pretty to use! I’m proud to say I used two pieces! lol It took courage I’m telling ya’! lol

The gingham piece I die cut with the new Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Slim Rectangles. The plaid panel is cut with the Slim Basic Rectangle Layers… kinda nice you don’t have to measure!

I LOVE the new Memory Box Wooden Alpha!!! I used them for SPRING today but I’m thinking masculine next! So fun!

The light is changing again and always throws me off for taking pictures. If you want to get a better idea of what the green color is… I stamped ‘happy’ from the new Memory Box Big and Little Reverse Words stamp set with Altenew Frayed Leaf stamp pad! I tried several greens and this one was right on as far as matching this gingham paper.

The purple I used for the Wooden Alpha is from the new Memory Box Twilight Purple 6×6 cardstock pad.

What better to put on a SPRING card than flowers and this new Memory Box Gerber Stems die set is perfect for this card! Sweet blooms that will be beautiful colored too! Our middle daughter had beautiful Gerbera Daisies for her outdoor, wildflower setting wedding. Good memories!

Holler if I missed something. I’m not sure what the standard size, if there is one, is for a slimline card. These both ended up 8 ⅝ ths long and 3 ⅝ ths wide. I finally wrote down what size to cut the base so I don’t have to keep figuring it out every time! ❤

Have a creative Friday afternoon! Thank you for visiting my blog this week!
