Memory Box Pumpkin Card…

September 4, 2020September 8, 2020 Pam Sparks12 Comments

After making the stamp video the other day, I was in the mood to stamp and color this new pumpkin! No great technique or anything… just stamping on MB watercolor card, coloring with Distress Ink Refills (I need to clean off my desk and get out a different coloring medium, lol). I enjoy how the Distress ink refills work for watercolor though and the colors are so nice for this time of year!

I think this pumpkin would make a great shape card or place cards or what else?

For the cardbase, I used TE Sweet Basil cardstock and stamped poppystamps Picnic Plaid stamp on it with TE Sweet Basil Ink.

I didn’t want Halloween words so I used Grateful for our friendship from the Wild Rose Stem stamp set.

This stamp set with the pumpkin has great words for the banner though.

This turned out an odd size but it will still fit in an A6 envelope for a regular forever stamp! YAY!

Thanks for clicking over! We so appreciate all your thoughts and prayers for our family. Breanna is making progress. We’re so happy and so grateful! ❤

September 2, 2020September 1, 2020 Pam Sparks33 Comments

Hi everyone! Here it is September and time for ALL the excitement of the 10th STAMPtember at Simon Says Stamp!!! Throughout STAMPtember there will be exclusive collaborations, contests, prizes, special promotions, announcements, and more surprises!

Starting today with this blog party, participants listed on the SSS blog will be sharing a special code for a free gift with your order today. You’ll want to click around to see what code you want to use when you order! A code scavenger hunt!

Click over to SSS store HERE to see the release and see the stamp set I used to make this Christmas card!

This is the NEW Chunky Christmas stamp set. I stamped on Neenah Solar White cardstock and heat embossed with Ranger Gold Detail Embossing Powder and colored in with Distress Ink Refills and water. Faded Jeans for the blue, Fired Brick for the berries and Peeled Paint for the leaves. The die cut pine branch is from the Christmas Foliage die set.

I used some NEW Memory Box Fairy Sugar glitter glue in Dewdrop, Ruby and Sunlit Gold. The frame is Stitched Rectangles. I skipped a die so I’d get a wider frame when I die cut them.

I think that pretty much covers it… thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy the blog party!

Memory Box Diagonal Stripe and Collaboration Flower Stamp Set…

August 30, 2020August 30, 2020 Pam Sparks16 Comments

Hi Friends and cardmakers! I made this card and even had the pictures taken before we had a family emergency and had to hurry out the door.

The sentiment on this card says it all though! So thankful for all who prayed for our daughter, for us and even gave to support her! It’s a miracle she is alive. She had 6 hours of chemo on Friday and by Sunday they said she only had 2 hrs to 2 days to live. I just couldn’t let her go. I started telling her to breathe and live, her sisters got her bone broth and we started in on her. By Wednesday she was back on living protocol and we were kicked out of the hospital much to my dismay!!! Our hearts are with her and we chat with her on and off all day.

Now about this card…I’d been wanting to use the new Memory Box Diagonal Stripe Collage die. I love it! I have another idea brewing in my head but not sure it will work. lol

Then I saw this new stamp set, Celebrate Us, awhile back that was a collaboration between Altenew and Pinkfresh Studio and I wanted it for fast colored flowers! I’m really happy with how they stamped up and how well two of them fit together to make a bouquet.

I used Altenew mini ink cubes to ink up the flower stamps. I’m gonna call this a CAS card because it wasn’t hard and I think you could make several of them fast and the white background just sets them off!

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Once again…we covet your prayers and thoughts for our family right now…not sure what the journey will look like but the miracle has begun and we’re not giving up! Nourish and Hope!
