Bugs and Kisses!

Happy Tuesday!
Oh my gosh, I just love this "Buggy Stack" from High Hopes Stamps! Look at those cute little faces!!!I had so much fun colouring these adorable "buggies"! The HH sentiment "Bugs and Kisses" goes perfectly with this sweet card!
I stamped my image with Copic friendly ink on some Copic friendly paper and then coloured in the bugs. I tried to colour the butterfly to resemble a Monarch. Using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut out the image and a matching outline in red. I decided to keep my card design simple and just ran a piece of white cardstock through my machine using a Darice Large Petal embossing folder. For a twist, I cut the "Bugs and Kisses" sentiment into 3 pieces and adhered using foam tape. I love how the image pops off the white background!

Hugs To Cheer You!

Hello!
Sometimes you just need a card to cheer a friend up and to let them know you are there! "Andy & Alex Mouse" from High Hopes Stamps along with the sentiment "Hugs To Cheer You" makes the sweetest card to give to someone dear to you! You could also use this image for a Valentine's or Anniversary card!
Sometime ago I went through my 6x6 paper pads. I kept the pads I liked and ripped out paper from some pads that I only liked a few of the papers from. Anything left I donated to our neighbour's daughter who is a teacher. Her class loved them and used them in their art classes. This paper is from the ripped out papers so I have no idea who made it. All I know is that it was perfect for Andy & Alex! I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and using my Copic markers coloured it in to match my papers. Next I cut around the image with a Stitched Scallop Circle from Memory Box. Some twine and enamel dots finish off my card.
Copics Used:
Mice: N0, N1, N2, N3, R01, R02, R20
Andy: R35, R46, R59/ YR21, YR23, YR24
Alex: R81, R83, R85, R89/ R35, R46, R59
Grass: YG91, YG93

Let's Waterski!

Hello!
The vault is open over at High Hopes and the Men & Boy's have come out to play! Meet "Waterskiing Bob"! Bob must be on vacation somewhere as it certainly isn't warm enough here yet for water sports LOL. I always love how happy Bob is, he always has a smile on his face!
I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and then used my Copic markers to colour my image to match my papers. Today's papers are from the Doodlebug's "Anchors Away" and Echo Park's "Summer Party" 6x6 collections. After colouring Bob, I cut him out using a stitched square die and them popped that up on my card with foam squares. I used the HH sentiment called "World's Best Father". Some clear glitter pen on the waves and a few enamel dots finish off my card. Waterskiing Bob makes a great Father's Day or even a great birthday card for Dad!
Copics Used:
Skin: E01, E11, E13, R20, R22
Hair: E23, E25, E27, E29
Shorts: YR68, Y17, Y38, B24, B26

World's Best!

Hi!
I'm so excited that Lora opened the Retirement Vault and let the "Men & Boys" out to play again! This image is called "Lawnmower Bob". Bob looks so happy cutting the grass! This image makes a great Father's Day card.
I started by stamping my image and then colouring Bob in with my Copic Markers. Next using my Brother Cut N Scan I "fussy" cut him out. I decided to make a scene for Bob & his lawnmower. I took my card base and using a cloud stencil created the sky. Next I used 2 different dies and cut out some green grass. The first 2 glass layers (bottom up) are popped up using foam squares as is Bob. I tucked my coloured image amongst the grass layers. The HH sentiment called "World's Best Father" finishes off my card.
Copics Used:
Skin: E01. E11, E13, R20, R22
Outfit: R35, R37, R46, R59/ B24, B28, B39/ E43, E44, E47, E49
Lawnmower: G05, G08, G28/ C6,C7, C9/ R41, E42, E43
Grass: YG17, YG21, YG23, YG25
