Memory Box Birthday Rose Corner Shape Card…

June 5, 2020 Pam Sparks14 Comments

Hi everyone! I’ve been coloring with Distress ink refills and water again. So fun… I stamped on watercolor paper…MB has watercolor paper now and I keep forgetting to use it! I have to remember!

I die cut with the coordinating die… then I partial cut into the front of my card base so it’d be a shape card of sorts!

Here’s a look at the inside so you can see.

I stamped the Happy Birthday from the new poppystamps Friendship and Kindness stamp set. This happy birthday is part of a larger sentiment but I cut it apart. just make one cut and so you can fit them back together precisely.

I love how this looks in real life when you open it.

I used Peeled Paint and a teeny bit of Pine Needles, Milled Lavender and a teeny bit of Dusty Concord, Victorian Velvet is the pink, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo for the roses and berries.

I spattered with gold paint. The cardstock is Taylored Expressions Pink Champagne… I’ll link it up below.

An A7 size card that’s light and flat and will mail for one stamp! YAY!

Thank you for stopping by today! Happy stamp shopping… so many NEW good ones to color! Beautiful dies, embossing folders, washi tape and pattern paper too! oh my! hehe

Memory Box Magnolia Wreath and Magnolia Double Arch

June 1, 2020 Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone! I used two NEW dies on my card today, the Magnolia Wreath and the Magnolia Double Arch dies.

It’s super simple but that color combo that I love so much! I hope you don’t get tired of seeing it! lol

I stamped the Hello from the new poppystamps Friendship and Kindness clear stamp set. Lots of really nice sentiments and messages for the inside too! I will stamp one of them on the inside. I’m really bad about not finishing the inside until I’m ready to send. ugh

Taylored Expressions cardstock… I die cut each die one time but cut the flowers from the Wreath set multiple times. The A2 cardbase is Toffee, the green is Granny Smith and the blue is Confetti Cake.

I used some black nuvo drops for the flower centers. I like it and hope you do too!

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great week making cards…looks like a busy week here. I need to make a boy birthday card…a grandson turning six today! They grow up so fast! 😀 ttul!

Memory Box Peony Garden Wreath Card…

May 22, 2020May 22, 2020 Pam Sparks11 Comments

Hi everyone! I have a new Memory Box stamp and die set card to share today… just because. Isn’t that a pretty script? It’s hard to believe it’s Memorial Day weekend. It looks like it’ll warm up here but still cloudy. We’re getting anxious for some sunshine! I guess the sunshine today is this bright Picked Raspberry Distress Ink color that I painted with!

I stamped the new wreath on watercolor paper with Versamark ink and heat embossed with Ranger Gold Embossing powder. I die cut with the coordinating die, then I watercolored with regular Distress Ink pad refills. I just put a drop of the refill on my craft mat and pick it up with a wet paintbrush. I did put water on the paper first so it was wet on wet.

I used Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Peeled paint, Peacock Feathers and a little bit of Mowed Lawn ink refills for coloring the wreath.

I die cut white cardstock twice and used that to layer the wreath for a little depth instead of foam mounting tape.

I used Taylored Expressions Confetti Cake cardstock for the background square adhered to a white top fold cardbase. My card is 5 ½ inches square.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have some peonies in your life. I’m glad I had these to color!

Simon Says Stamp Luck and Hugs Cards…

May 14, 2020 Pam Sparks8 Comments

Hi everyone! Simon Says Stamp sent me this stamp set to play with for their newest release ‘Sunny Days Ahead’! I’m behind but working on catching up! I made two cards to share so be sure to scroll down for the second… 🙂

This set has a ton of images and sentiments! I stamped several in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, die cut them out and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers.

I used a landscape A2 size white cardbase and stamped one of the border images directly on the base using the MISTI.

After coloring, using Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue, I adhered the flowers directly to the cardbase. HUGS is adhered with foam mounting tape overlapping a little bit of the flowers.

A card to cheer I hope!

Next card will be a congrats graduation card…

I went clean and simple here…you know I love this style! hehe I stamped and gold heat embossed good luck from the set, then die cut, popped it up with black mounting squares on a Taylored Expressions Oreo cardstock A2 size cardbase. I stamped the little sentiment on white cardstock, trimmed it and layered it over the top with mounting foam on the left end and liquid glue on the right end.

This could work for so many occasions! Such a fun set…some of the other sentiments… “Can’t wait to see you soar”, “You’re going to be Amazing”, “You’re going to rock this” and so many more!

I used Ranger Detail Gold embossing powder or maybe it’s called super fine.

Thank you so much for clicking over to see my post today! A new release is coming soon so be watching!
