Get Well Wishes!!

Happy Tuesday!

I love having "Get Well" themed cards on hand! I always think that getting a card when you're under the weather just brightens your day. When I saw the "Spoutin' Off" image with the "Feeling Whale" sentiment from High Hopes Stamps , I knew it would make an adorable card!

I decided to make an "Easel Card" today for something different! I haven't made one in ages and I absolutely love this one! I used my Cameo and a Svg file from Lori Whitelock called "Scalloped Circle Easel Card". The file has all the necessary parts to put together this card quick and easy. After stamping my image onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured it in with my Copic markers. Next I used A Gina Marie "Double Rope Circles" die and cut out my image. I popped it up with foam tape onto the card base. The Svg file shows to use a brad to keep the card in the easel position, but I used the sentiment popped up with foam tape, works perfectly. I don't often add flowers to my card as I'm not the greatest on placement but it worked here! Some glitter pen on the water and spout finishes off my card.

Here you can see how the Easel card folds down flat for mailing.

Copics Used:

C00, C0, C1, C4, C5, C8

BG0000, BG000, BG01

Winter Fun!

Hi!

The 2022 Winter Olympics have inspired me to make this card today! My favourite thing to watch is the skating competitions! I love the beauty of the skating and the costumes are stunning! When I saw "Ice Princess" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps, it brought back so many memories! My sister and I always loved to skate! We would make up routines for our "skating programs" and then would judge each other. We could do a spin and a one foot jump but we thought we were spinning and jumping just like the Olympic skaters lol. The "Frozen Skating Pond" is the perfect background for my little skater!

I stamped the pond and skater onto Copic friendly paper and coloured them in with my Copic markers. I cut the "Frozen Skating Pond" with a Craftin' Desert Diva's Inside Scallop Square die and also used it to get the border around the pond image. The "Winter Fun" sentiment also from High Hopes was stamped directly beneath the pond so it looks one layered. Using my Brother Cut N Scan I cut out "Ice Princess" and popped her up on the pond with some foam tape. Some Diamond Stickles on the trees and Nuvo Glitter Gloss pen on the ice add some fun sparkle to my card! Since "Ice Princess" is a "Star", I added some star stickers in each corner to finish off my card.

What's The Buzz?

Hello!!

I miss seeing all my friends and catching up on each other's lives!!! Due to Covid, we haven't been able to get together and I can't wait to see them again! I thought this adorable "Hunny Bear" stamp and sentiment called "What's the Buzz" from High Hopes Stamps made a perfect card to send to one of them.

My card comes together quick using the Studio Katia "Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames" die set. It cut out all of my papers except the strip of bees. I just layered some cardstock behind it and I was done with the card base design. I stamped "Hunny Bear" onto Copic friendly paper and coloured it in with my Copic markers. Using my Brother Cut N Scan I cut out the image and popped it up on the card with some foam tape. A bit of glitter pen to the wings and honey and I was finished!

Copics Used:

Bear: E71, E74, E77, E79

Bee Outfit: N10, Y15, Y17, Y18

Honey Pot: B95, B97, B99

Be My Valentine!

Happy Tuesday!

Since Valentine's Day is around the corner, I decided to make a Valentine's card using the adorable "Matchmakin' Maynard" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I paired Maynard with the HH sentiment "Sm. Fancy Be My Valentine". 

To start my card, I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured it with my Copic markers. Using a heart shaped die, I cut out the image. I stamped the image onto a post it note and then fussy cut it out. I used that as a "mask" over top of my coloured image. Using some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink and a cloud stencil, I created the background over the masked image. It's always fun when you peel off the mask and see how your image is now surrounded by clouds. I am using papers from the Moda Scraps "Pink Cotton Candy" 6x6 collection. I also inked all the edges of my papers with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. A bit of Crystal Stickles on Maynard's hearts finish off my card.

Copics Used:

RV66, R85, R83, RV34

E31, E33, E34/ E43, E44

W1, W3, W5
