Harvest Time!

Howdy HH Peeps!
Over on the High Hopes Blog it's all about Fall! When I hear Fall, I think of a Fall Harvest, a time of fresh veggies and hay. I know Farmers harvest during the summer too, but there is something about seeing the fields come alive with workers that lets you know Fall is here. "Farmer Clem" from High Hopes is ready to get to work in his gardens and bring the bounty of Fall to you!

After stamping "Farmer Clem" onto Copic Friendly paper, I coloured him up with my Copic Sketch Markers. I fussy cut him out using my Brother Cut N Scan. Next I created the background using papers from the Doodlebug "Happy Harvest" 6x6 collection. I created the word "Fall" using Alphabet Dies and some adhesive foam. The card size is 6 x 5.5", a bit different but worked for my card LOL. I tucked "Farmer Clem" behind the last L, added some burlap ribbon and a bow and my card was one.

Here you can see the dimension to the word "Fall". I cut 2 adhesive foam letters and 1 letter from designer paper. Then I glued them all together to get the nice thick letters. Even "Farmer Clem" is popped up with some foam squares.

Happy Saturday!
It's my turn to do a Saturday Post over on the Digi Doodle Facebook Group. I decided to use the Digi Doodle Studios digital image called "Keira and Her Puppy" for my card today. I love this adorable image and that would be my fur baby Stella, peeking out from behind my legs Lol. Stella would be barking though (Ha Ha).

To start, I downloaded the digital image and resized it to my liking. Then I printed it off on some Copic friendly paper and coloured "Keira" with my Copic Sketch Markers. I fussy cut out the digital image using my Brother Cut N Scan and popped it up with foam tape for added dimension. 

My paper choices are from the Echo Park "I Heart Crafting" 6x6 collection. I added Black Stickles to all the flower centres and the polka dots on her dress and bow. A bit of twine and a bow finished off my design.

Let's Play in the Leaves!

Hi HH Fans!
Have you visited the High Hopes Blog yet for some Fall themed inspiration? The Design team is creating Fall themed cards for August and my card follows along with the theme! This is the cute High Hopes image called "Fall Joy".

I coloured the "Fall Joy" image with my Copic Sketch Markers and then cut it out with the Gina Marie Loopy Oval dies. I decided to ink all the edges of my papers from the  Doodlebug "Fall Friends" collection with Vintage Photo Distress Ink for a bit of added dimension. Some YNS Matte Gumdrops finish off my card.

On the decorated inside I am using the High Hopes "Smiling" sentiment.

Copics Used:

Too Cute!

Hello HH Fans!

August brings Fall themed designs over on the High Hopes Blog. To fit with the theme today I am sharing with you the adorable "Angel Bear Scarecrow". I think the expression on his face says....."How did I wind up here?" but he's got his friends the crows and turkey to keep him company!

Today I am  using paper from the Sunny Studios "Colorful Autumn" 6x6 collection. I am in love with the rich Fall colours in this paper pad! I stamped the High Hopes "Angel Bear Scarecrow" onto Copic friendly paper and coloured it to match my papers with my Copic Sketch Markers. I fussy cut the image with my Brother Cut N Scan and made a layer to match to put behind him. I also cut the leaf border from the paper pad with my machine to use as a border. Some twine, bow and a leaf embellishment finish off my design.

Copics Used:

Bear: E21, E23, E25, E27, E29

Little Love Birds!

Hello Digi Doodle Fans!
I'm popping in today to share with you these adorable digital stamps from Digi Doodle Studios called "Little Love Birds". Aren't they just the cutest pair ever? What I like about them is that you could use them for many different card themes. Think "Miss You", "Hello", "Anniversary", "Love", the possibilities are endless!

I decided to colour these cuties in a bold fun colour. The Doodlebug "French Kiss" 6x6 collection was my inspiration, and I coloured them to match the papers. After I downloaded the digital image, re sized it and printed it off on my printer, I coloured "Little Love Birds" with my Copic Sketch Markers. I cut out the image with a Stitched Tag die and popped it up with foam tape onto my layered design. A bit of Crystal Stickles on the heart leaves finished off my card.

In the top corner I added this sentiment from the Digi Doodle digital "Love N' Hugs" sentiment collection, using a circle die.

Copics Used:

B21, B26, B28, B29

RV17, RV19

Happy Tuesday HH & OCS Followers!

Fall themed cards are happening over on the High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper Blogs for August! I think this rubber stamp from High Hopes has to be one of my favourites! "Country Harvest" just about sums up Fall for me! Pumpkins, hay, picking apples (for pie?) all done in those gorgeous Fall colours! If you choose, you can even stamp something onto the little wooden sign! 

I love the layered look of the cardstock that is cut with a Stitched Scallop die. The cardstock matches perfectly with the paper I used from the Doodle Bug "Happy Harvest" 6x6 collection. All the pumpkins have some glitter pen added to them. A simple designed card today finished off with some ribbon and a leaf gem sticker.

Copics Used:

Apples: R37, R59, R89/ YG03, YG25

Happy August 1st!

Today starts a new Challenge over on the Digi Doodle Challenge Blog and the theme is "Dots And Stripes". As soon as I saw this digital image called "Party Pups", I knew it would fit perfectly with the Challenge theme! I mean look at all the "dots" with the balloons and the present!

I started designing my card by downloading my image, re-sizing it, adding the sentiment and then printing it all off on printer. The sentiment is from the Digi Doodles "Friendship" digital sentiments collection. I coloured my image with my Copic Sketch markers and then cut it out with a die. For my papers, I saw the DDS "Summer Splash 6x6 Pattern" digital paper and knew it was perfect with all the "Dots & Stripes" in the collection. I love the fun bright colours! It makes "Party Pups" such a happy and fun card! I added some Stickles on the party hats and Spectrum Noir Glitter Pen to all the balloons and dots! I wish you could see it in person as it really sparkles!

Copics Used:

Pups: N0, N1, N5, N6, N8, W10/ E11, E13, E15, E18, W10

Balloons & Dots: Y35, Y38/ RV25, RV29/  BG45, BG49/ R81, R83/ YG23, YG25
