Happy Panda!

 Howdy!

This little guy is just so happy! Look at that smile.....precious. Meet "Happy Panda" from the High Hopes Re-Release called "Thoughts of Spring and Friends".

My card todays follows along with my personal Challenge to use my Silhouette Cameo and make a Pop Up card for the month of March. I'm using the "Scallop Circle Easel Card" svg file to create my card base that stands or "pops up". I chose papers from the Bella Blvd. "Popsicle Panda" 6x8 collection today. After stamping my card onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured him in using my Copic Sketch Markers. Next using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut him out leaving a white border. After assembling the card, I popped "Happy Panda" with some foam squares for added dimension.

The original file uses a brad to pop up the top card layer. I decided to use the sentiment called "Happy Thoughts", layered with 2 pieces of paper. This was thick enough that the top layer can still stand up.

Copics Used:

Panda: N0, N1, N6, N7, N9, R01, R20

Bamboo stalk: E42, E43, E44

Leaves: G28, YG03, YG17

Best Friends Forever!

Hello!

There is nothing cuter than a boy and his best friend.....his loyal companion! Meet "Orian And Whiskey" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps! This adorable image is from the Re-Release called "Thoughts of Spring With Friends". If you've been following along this month, then you know that I've challenged myself to use my Cameo and make a pop up card. I love this little scene and it lays flat for mailing.....perfect!

This file is from the Silhouette Design Store and is called "5x7 Grid Pop Up Card Butterfly". I cut the butterfly off and added my image to where it was instead. I stamped "Orian" onto Copic friendly paper and coloured him in with my Copic Sketch Markers. Next using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut out the image. I inked all the edges of the papers with Distress Oxide Ink in "Gathered Twigs". After assembling the pop up card, I added Yellow Stickles to the flower centres. I love the sentiment called "Best Friends" for these cuties!

Here you can see the "grid" setup. I was really easy to put together and sooooo cute!

Here's a short video showing the card and how it folds flat.

Dancing Hedgehogs!

 Happy Happy Tuesday!

Over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps the DT is celebrating the "Thoughts of Spring With Friends" re-release. I am continuing my personal challenge for March to use my Silhouette Cameo and make some sort of Pop Up card. These cuties called "Dancing Hedgehogs" are my inspiration for today's card.

My card base is a svg file called "Square Center Step Card" from the Silhouette Design Store. It folds flat for mailing so I consider it a "Pop Up"! I cut the card base out and then decorated it with papers from the Echo Park "A Perfect Autumn" 6x6 collection. Next I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured these cuties in with my Copic Sketch markers. Using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut the image out leaving a small white border. For a bit of fun, I popped these "Dancing Hedgehogs" up onto a wobble. Now when you touch it they look like they are dancing. I thought the HH sentiment called "Good Times" was perfect for these dancing critter.

Here's a video showing how the wobble works.

Copics Used:

Fur: E23, E25, E29

Feet and bellies: E00, E11, E21, E23

cheeks: R21

Bella Bear Camping!

 Happy Tuesday!

There's another Re-Release over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps! Lora has opened the vault and the "Thoughts Of Spring With Friends" has come out of retirement. Soooo many cuties, you just have to visit the website and take a little look see! This is the adorable "Bella Bear Camping" image! Looks like her map lead her to the right campsite! This month I've challenged myself to use my Silhouette Cameo and make some sort of pop up card. That poor machine just sits there and I seldom use it. I thought it was high time it got a little action.

To begin, I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured Bella in with my Copic Sketch Markers. Then using my Brother Cut N Scan I cut out the image leaving a small white border. Next using a "Pop Up Hexagon Tent sag file, I set about cutting out all the parts to the card. This file is really easy to assemble and looks so cute with Bella in front of it. I thought the HH sentiment called "New Adventure" was perfect and added it to an inked edge cloud die cut.

Here's a side view where you can see the different layers pop into slits. I've used designer papers from the Doodlebug "Land That I Love" and "Puppy Love" 6x6 collections. The card folds flat for mailing and fits with my theme this month of Pop Up cards.

Here's a short video showing the card in action.

This pictures shows the card laying flat, perfect for mailing.

Best Friends!

Happy Tuesday!

I don't know about you.....but I don't know what I would do without my friends!! These 2 remind me of my Bestie's and crafting buddies! Oh the fun (trouble LOL) we can get into! They always have my back and I love the support they have given to me over the years! This is the adorable High Hopes Stamps called "BFF Girls".

Today's papers are from the Echo Park "Coffee & Friends" 6x6 collection. Using alcohol friendly paper, I coloured these BFF's in with my Copic Markers, trying to match the colours in the papers.  Next I cut the image out with an MFT Stitched Rectangle die and popped it up with foam squares over the layout. I added some leaf sprigs for a bit of interest. I love this sentiment and have used it many times. It's from High Hopes as well and is called "Being A Friend".

Just A Note!

Hello! 

Sometimes you just want to send a card to let someone know you are thinking of them or to say thanks. I love this little cutie called " Laydie Buggie's Brush" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. She's really a very versatile stamp that can be used for so many occasions! I used it to send a Valentine's Day card to a friend.  Love when you can use a stamp more than one time!

To start, I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured this "Lady Bug" to match the papers from the Echo Park "Jack and Jill Girl" 6x6 collection with my Copic Markers. I've had this collection of papers for a while and thought they were perfect for this card. Using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut out the image and glued it onto the card base. Love the little MFT Scalloped border and matching enamel dots! I used the HH sentiment called "Just A Note" to finish off my design.

Copics Used:

Reds: R37, R59, R89

Pinks: R81, R83, R85

Black & Greys: C1, C2, C4, C6, C7, C9

It's A Boy!

Happy Tuesday!

I'm continuing on with an image from the Sweet Baby Re-Release over at High Hopes  called "Crawling Baby Boy". Oh my gosh, I just love his little diaper bottom! I coloured him in a onesie but you could colour just the diaper if you want!

For my card today I chose papers from the Echo Park "Hello Baby Boy" 6x6 collection. I started by stamping  my image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured him in with my Copic Sketch markers. Using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut this cutie out leaving a white border around him. I used a Pretty Pink Posh Scallop Frame and a Circle die to pop him up over. I love the little banner dies in the corner. The HH sentiment called "It's A Boy" is perfect for this card. A few enamel dots finish off my card!

Skin: E00, E21, E95

Bath Time!

Hello!

February started a re-release over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps! Lora opened the vault and out came the "Sweet Baby" release. I'm so glad she did as the images are all just too cute! I'm playing with the "Baby Hedgehog" and "Precious Little One" sentiment. When my kids were little bath time was a favourite, and this stamp brings back so many wonderful memories!

To start, I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured this Baby Hedgehog to match the papers from Doodlebug's "Bundle of Joy" 6x6 collection. Next using a Gina Marie "Pierced Big & Little Circle" die, I cut out the image, sentiment and designer paper. Now it was time to glue everything down and add the adorable ribbon across the bottom. I also added some polka dots to his washcloth with a white gel pen. Some enamel dots and glitter pen on the water and bubbles finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Hedgie: E30, E31, E33, E35, E37, R21

Tub; RV52, RV55

washcloth: YG01, YG03, YG05

Kind Of Sickly!

Hello!

There is nothing worse than being under the weather and feeling like crap! But if I got this card in the mail, it sure would cheer me up! This is the adorable "Seymore's Sick Day" and "Better Quickly" sentiment from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

Today I am using papers from an older collection from Echo Park Called "For The Record 2". I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next, I coloured in my image to match the designer papers and cut it out using my Brother Cut N Scan. It's a simple design using different rectangle sizes layered with matching cardstock. Seymore is popped up with foam squares. A scattering of enamel dots finish off my card design.

Hogs-N-Kisses!

Howdy!

Todays mini slimline card combines 2 stamps from High Hope Rubber Stamps. I've used the "Soo-eet Petunia and Audrey" and the "Farm Background". I thought that they went nicely together! Oh my gosh, Petunia's smile....too cute!

To start, I stamped my images onto some Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next I coloured in my images and cut them out using my Brother Cut N Scan. I decided to colour the field behind the barn as if there is wheat growing in it. I used a MFT "Slimline Cloud Edges" stencil to add some clouds in the background. The "Hogs-N-Kisses" sentiment goes well with the theme of my card. Some MFT Stitched Hills and a little fence just brings it all together. My Main image and the bottom hill are popped up with foam squares for some added dimension to my card.
