Fairy Merry Christmas!

Welcome!
Before we know it Christmas will be here! I send out quite a few handmade cards so it's never too early to start designing them. Today I just couldn't resist playing with "Holly The Winter Fairy" from High Hopes Stamps. She's just such a little darling! I love the matching HH Sentiment called "Fairy Merry Christmas"
I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly paper and used my Copic Sketch markers to colour her in. Next using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut Holly out as well as a slightly larger matching shape from red cardstock. I love these papers from the Polkadoodles "Wintertime, Gnome Season and Ho Ho Gnome" 6x6 collections. I couldn't decide so I used a bit of them all LOL. The die behind Winter Fairy is from Gina Marie and is called "Frilly Lace Nested dies". To finish off my card, I used a MFT Bountiful Bow die and added some enamel dots. And of course some sparkle on her fur trims.
Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20
Hair: E43, E44, E47
Outfit and holly: R37, R46, R59/ YG17, YG25, YG67/ C5, C7
Wings: C00, C1, C3

Welcome Little One!

Hello!!
It seems like there a lot of babies being born lately...... must be Covid (lol). Everyone has had a lot of spare time on their hands lol! I'm re-building my stash of baby cards, seems I can't have enough. This cute little dragon is from High Hopes Stamps and is called "Baby Dragon". He goes nicely with the HH sentiment "Sm. Welcome Little One".
To start my card I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Then I set about colouring him with my Copic Sketch markers to match the papers from Doodlebug's "Special Delivery" 6x6 collection. I cut out my image with a MFT Stitched Oval die and popped him up over the square and banner die cuts with foam tape. I love using foam tape as it just adds more interest to your card with the dimension it gives. I cut the sentiment in half so that I could have words on the left and bottom corners. A few enamel dots finish off my card.
Copics used:
B21, B23, B24
Y32, Y35
YG17, YG23, YG25
W1, W3

I really appreciate you stopping by today!

Lots of Hugs!

Happy Tuesday!
I love this little cutie called "Gonna Getcha" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps! He just warms my heart and makes me smile! I'm re-stocking my "friend" cards and I know just the person I'm going to send this too! I haven't seen them all summer so I'm sending lots of hugs to them! Hopefully this cutie will brighten their day and let them know I am missing them!
Today I am using papers from the Honey Bee "Bee Bliss" 6x6 collection. After stamping my image onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured him in to match the designer papers. Next using a Gina Marie Pleated Circle die, I cut him out. I added a Pretty Pink Posh Border die cut to both sides of a flowered strip of paper for some fun! I decided to use the HH sentiment called "Hugs & Hugs" to send that long distance hug I was talking about. Both the sentiment and the main image are popped up with foam tape for some added dimension. A bit of ribbon and a bow finish off my design.
Copics Used:
Mouse: N0, N1, N2, N3, R20
Overalls: BG72, BG75, BG78
T-shirt: YR24, YR27
Grass: YG17

School Days!

Happy Tuesday!!!!
Yahoo, whoopee, the kiddo's are back to school today! I bet a lot of Mom's out there are happy to see this day come after a summer of fun (and exhaustion LOL) with the kids. The kids are happy to go back and see their friends! All around everyone is happy LOL! I thought this was the perfect image for my post today, a nice welcome back to your teacher! This is the "School Days Quick Card" rubber stamp from High Hopes Stamps.
I started my card by stamping my image onto Copic friendly paper and colouring it in with my Copic Sketch Markers. Then, using a square die, I cut out my coloured image and backed it with some red cardstock. My papers are from the Doodlebug "School Days" 6x6 collection, I designed my card base. I love the sentiment "To Teach Is To Touch"! I cut it in half to place on the top and bottom of my card.. Teachers are very important in our early years and have an important job teaching and shaping the minds of our youth! A few enamel dots finish off my card design.
Copics Used:
B21, B24, B27, B29
Y35, Y38
G28, YG01, YG03, YG17
C8, E35, E39, B00
