Memory Box Mistletoe Swag Stamp Set…

September 4, 2019September 4, 2019 Pam Sparks15 Comments

Hi everyone! Have you seen the new stamp sets from Memory Box? So fun to stamp and color! I started out with this new Mistletoe Swag set but I had red on the brain and you’ll have to excuse my lapse in coloring the berries red here. It is now some kind of Winter red berry! I know…. I’m rolling my eyes at myself too.

I colored with Distress Ink reinkers…festive berries and peeled paint. The background is Tumbled Glass.

I spattered with white and blue ink, then sprayed the whole thing with Frost Shimmer Spray.

So many fun words to combine for sentiments in these sets too. I stamped in white ink on black and embossed with white powder.

I die cut the smaller snowflake from the new Bauble Snowflake die set and glued them on. Several small clear sequins glued on for sparkle too.

And look at this! A limited editionSky Blue Big Shot! I know…swooning over a Big Shot. lol Well, it’s a beauty! ❤

AND there’s this offer too!

Welp, back to cards for me…hope this finds you all rested up after a labor free weekend. ha.

Thanks for stopping by!

Spellbinders Blog Hop, Grand Holiday Cabinet Card…

August 26, 2019September 9, 2019 Pam Sparks49 Comments

Hi cardmakers and friends! Welcome to my blog post for the Spellbinders blog hop showcasing Becca Feeken 3D Holiday Vignettes & Glistening Holiday Collections!

If you’ve arrived from Varada Sharma, you’re on the right track! Keep reading to find out about the giveaway and my card!

A chance to win!
To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to one lucky blog reader – selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop. Giveaway closes on Sunday, September 1st, 11:59 pm EDT. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Tuesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes.

I’m using the Grand Holiday Cabinet Card die set along with one die from the Layered Thinking of You Woodland Scene die set.

This was fun to make and so beautiful when finished. I used a cardstock that has a little bit of silver glitter in it. I watched a couple videos so I’d know how to use the sets to get the layers…I’m amazed at how many ways you can change this up!

I love the dimension…I used a silver and gold metallic pen to accent two of the frames.

The illusion of a Winter Wonderland!

The best part is, it collapses to fit in an envelope! Perfect for that special someone in your life that keeps your cards! lol

Next on the hop is Melody Rupple.

If you want to start at the beginning of the hop, click to the Spellbinders Blog for the list.

Thank you so much for stopping today…I hope you’re feeling festive and inspired!

Memory Box Ruffled Poinsettia and poppystamps Festive Noel Cards…

August 24, 2019August 24, 2019 Pam Sparks12 Comments

Hi everyone!!! I’m so excited to get on here and start sharing the cards I’m working on with the NEW Memory Box and poppystamps release! YES! My favorite time of year!

I had to use this gorgeous NEW Ruffled Poinsettia first! I LOVE it! So, so pretty!

I think it’s pretty straight forward but if you have any questions holler! Nothing new as far as techniques go.

The sentiment is from the NEW clear stamp set called Mistletoe Swag. I love the images and the name! lol

I die cut the largest shape from the NEW Stylish Frame Trio die set two times and off set them. They are only glued under the poinsettia. I’m in love with this set too! 😀

Then I die cut two of the NEW Silverdale Branch and trimmed them down to tuck under the petals. Yes, I love this die too!

My next card…

This beautiful NEW Festive Noel die from poppystamps is the only die I used on this card!

I die cut it in Gold mirror/foil cardstock and in red glitter cardstock.

The pattern paper is from a few years ago but I’m going to link up some new patterns that I think would work beautifully also!

I used foam tape that I cut down to fit on the back of this… very easy to do because the letters are wide! YAY!

I got carried away with pictures.. hehe

Noel is an A2 size card and the Ruffled Poinsettia is somewhere between in A6 and A7. It fill fit in an A7 envelope for sure.

Bring out the Christmas CD’s and start your cardmaking!

Thank you for stopping by! I’ve been sad to not post yet this week but we had a family deal we had to take care of…not pleasant but now I can make cards again. So thankful for cardmaking and cardmaker friends! I’ll be back soon!
