More Than the Cat!

Hello!

I'm popping in today with a cute card for all the dog lovers out there! Meet "Fred" from High Hopes Stamps. I just love Fred, he's so cute and that face just melts my heart!

To start my card I stamped the image onto Copic Friendly paper. Using my Copic Sketch markers, I coloured the image in using colours that matched the Doodlebug "My Happy Place" 6x6 collection.  I decided I wanted Fred to have spots so now he looks more like a Dalmatian. Next, using a Gina Marie Pleated Circle die, I cut around the image. I popped the image up with some foam tape for added dimension. A few enamel dots finish off my card.

I thought the HH sentiment called "More Than the Cat" was a fun addition to my card!

Copics Used:

Fred: C00, C0, C1, C3, C7, C9, 100, R01

Bandana: Y15, Y17, Y19

Flowers: RV04, RV06, RV09

Stems & grass: YG01, YG03, YG17, G28

Thanks so much for stopping by!

The Boo Crew!

Happy Tuesday!

Halloween is just around the corner and I needed one more card to send out! I decided to use the High Hopes  rubber stamp called "Boo Family in Frame". Normally these cuties are all together in one frame but I decided to do a different take on them.

 

Here you can see my craziness LOL. As I have used this stamp before I wanted to see if I could use it in a different way. It's been a while since I used the MFT Precious Polaroids dies and an idea popped into my head. On the left of the page is the original stamped image. Then I stamped it 3 more times and using correction tape taped off parts of each image so it would block our parts of the other ghosts. Now the image would fit into my little frames. I photocopied the blocked out images onto Copic friendly paper.

Here you can see the end result of my corrective tape nightmare LOL. Each ghost is isolated enough now to look like they are by themselves for each frame. If there were any "missing" sketch lines due to tape error, I drew them back in. Now, I went ahead and coloured each Ghost in and added them to the Polaroid frames. My papers today are from various Doodlebug Halloween themed 6x6 pads. I added a film strip, and mounted the "Boo Crew" sentiment on top with dimensional tape. A scattering of enamel dots finish off my card. 

Copics Used:

Ghosts: C00, C1, C3 / YR04, YR09/ R01

Their ties: YR04, V17/ YG25, V06

Wood Frame: C5, C8

Stars: Y26, Y28

Background: YG00, YG01, YG03

Warm Winter Wishes!

Hi!

I'm always in need of Christmas cards, so making some ahead is a good idea for me. I have a thing for penguins and snowmen so of course I had to make a card using the High Hopes "Snowman Love"! One of my favourite HH sentiments for Christmas/winter is the "Warn Winter Wishes" sentiment and I use it often! Mr Snowman probably doesn't like it though as if it warms up he'll melt lol!

I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper using some Memento Black Ink. Next I coloured the image in Christmas colours to match paper from bits I had in my stash.  Using a Craftin Desert Diva Banner die (retired), I cut the image out. I framed the "Warm Winter Wishes" sentiment using a Gina Marie Pleated Lace Rectangle die. I added some Crystal Stickles on the stocking and stars and added some ribbon with a bow. A sprinkling of enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

C00, C0, C2, 

R01, R37, R59, R89

E25, E27

G94, G99

Y26, Y28

What's The Buzz?

Hello!

Sometimes you just need a cute card to send to a friend to see what's going on in their world. "Willa With a Flower" from High Hopes Stamps is so sweet and is the perfect image for my card. Since there is a little bee in the image, I thought the HH "What's the Buzz" sentiment was cute match.

After stamping my image onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured in Willa with my Copic Sketch markers. I used the Studio Katia "Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames" die set. It's a set that will make the whole card design, you don't even have to think LOL. My paper today is from the Echo Park "New Day" 6x6 collection. A few enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Mouse: T0, T1, T2, T4, C8

Lady Bug: R37, C8

Bee: C8, R37, B000, B00

Flower: YR23, YR27, YR18

Leaves, Grass: G82, G85
