Happy Bear-day!

Welcome!

I'm so glad you stopped by today to see this adorable "Buddy Bear's Surprise" from High Hopes Stamps! He's just too cute and just makes me smile! Buddy Bear makes the perfect Birthday card and fits in so well with the "Let's Celebrate" theme this month! I paired Buddy with the "Happy Bear-day" sentiment, perfect for him and this card!

I started my design process by stamping the image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured Buddy in with my Copic Sketch Markers. I'm in love with these papers from the Echo Park "Our Wedding" 6x6 collection. I have lots of layers on this card: banner die cuts, a heart banner, and small round doily die cut as well as the basic layers. I inked all the edges of my papers and die cuts with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. Buddy and the sentiment are popped up with foam tape for added dimension.

Copics Used:

Bear: E42, E43, E44, E47, E49, E31/ R01, R02

Pinks: R20, R21, R22, R12

Cat & Mouse Party!

Hello!

These cuties are ready to celebrate!! It looks like Mr. Cat has blown out a few candles and his little mouse friend is ready to eat the cake! I don't know.....but I think Mr. Cat has had a few cakes in his past lol! This is the "Cat & Mouse Party" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.

Today my papers are from the Doodlebug Party Time 6x6 collection. After colouring my image with my Copic Sketch markers, I cut the image out using a square die. My design is a variety of squares layered with matching cardstock. The tiny "Happy Birthday" is from the HH Mini Sentimen set #1. It's so cute and fits perfectly in the tiny circle with an MFT Doily die behind it. A few enamel dots in the corners finish off my card.

Cat: E93, E95, E97, E99

Bandit's Cake!

Hello!

"Let's Celebrate" is the theme and re-release over at High Hopes Stamps for this month! "One of my friends always bakes her dog a cake for his birthday and "Bandit's Cake" just reminds me of them! Looks like Bandit and his little friend are having a fun feast! The "Eat Cake" sentiment is just perfect for this image!

I started my card by stamping the image onto Copic friendly paper and colouring it in with my Copic Sketch markers. I drew in his eyes to add a more realistic look. Using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut out the image leaving a white border around him and popped him up with some foam tape. I tried to make the inside of the cake look like the "Funfetti/ confetti" type cake. The papers on my card today are from the Polkadoodles Birthday Fun 6x6 collection. Some colour coordinating enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Bandit: E50, E51, E53, E55, E57, E59/ eyes- W7, W9, B14, B16

Mouse: W0, W1, W3, W5, R01, R02

June is all about Birthdays over at High Hopes Stamps as we celebrate the re-release called "Let's Celebrate"! You can never have too many birthday cards on hand! "Chi Chi's Party" makes the most adorable card to celebrate someone's special day!

I stamped Chi Chi onto some Copic friendly paper with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Taking my Copic Sketch markers, I coloured the image to match the designer papers from the Simple Stories "Magical Birthday" collection.

Some enamel dots and Crystal Stickles on the stars and confetti finish off my card!
