Beautiful Day!

Hi!
Oh my goodness, isn't this little angel adorable?! Meet "Lizabeth Biking Angel" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I'll tell you a little secret..... I want a bike just like this in a fun colour with the basket! Of course it will have to have a bell. Maybe Hubby will read this post and surprise me with one LOL.
To start my card, I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper with Memento ink in Tuxedo. Before colouring in the image with my Copic Sketch markers, I chose papers from the Doodle Bug "My Happy Place" 6x6 collection. This way I can try to colour matching the chosen papers. I'm using the "Beautiful day" sentiment from High Hopes. A sprinkling of enamel dots finish off my card.

Just A Note!

Happy Tuesday!
I  love making "generic" cards that you can use for any occasion. I thought "Sweet Shirley Bear" from High Hopes Stamps paired with the HH sentiment called "Just A Note", makes a nice card to send. I spend the summers at our Cottage, so I always like to send a few notes off to friends at home.
First I picked my papers, Echo Park's "For The Record 2" collection. This way I can use my Copic Sketch markers to colour in my stamped image to match. Once Shirley was coloured, I used my Brother Cut N Scan to cut around the image. I used a Gina Marie "Double Looped Oval" die for the background behind Shirley. I inked all the edges of my papers and image with Distress Oxide ink in Gathered Twigs. Some pretty yellow ribbon and a matching bow, finish off my card.
Copics Used:
Bear: E21, E23, E25, E27, R01, R02

Dropping You A Line!

Hello!!
This stamp called "Time Well Spent" from High Hopes is one of the first stamps I purchased years ago. It still is one of my favourites! It just warms my heart! You can tell these two are the best of friends and don't go anywhere without each other! I used the HH sentiment "Dropping You A Line" so I can add this card to my Birthday stash!
After stamping my image onto Copic Friendly paper, I coloured it in with my Copic Sketch markers. I'm using papers from the Doodlebug "Puppy Love" 6x6 collection. Using A Gina Marie "Big and Little Pierced Chain Rectangle" die, I cut the image out. A bit a twine and a large brad finish off my card.

Make A Wish!

Happy Tuesday!
Everyone needs a cute Elephant in their Birthday card stash, don't ya think?!! This cutie is called "Ele-fun" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps! This stamp is easy to colour and helps to make a card quick! Love how she is holding the cupcake. I thought the sentiment "Make A Wish" went perfectly with this sweet stamp!
I started my card by choosing papers from the Honey bees Stamps "Birthday Bash" 6x6 collection. Next I stamped the image onto some Copic friendly paper using Memento ink, and coloured it in to match the papers I chose. I used my Brother Cut N Scan to cut out the image and popped it up with some foam tape for added dimension. A White gel pen made some polka dots and some Stickles added a bit of sparkle.
Copics Used:
T0, T1, T2

Dreams Come True!

 Hello!
This card just makes me feel happy! The adorable "Annie Block" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps, with the cute blue and yellow papers just lifts my mood! Annie is just looking out her window, day dreaming about life. I thought the HH sentiment called "All Dreams Come True" was perfect for Annie!
To start, I stamped the image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured her in with my Copic Sketch markers. Next I cut her out using a Stitched Square die. I chose papers from the Craft Consortium's "Bright Blooms" 6x6 collection. I love the blue and yellow combination and backed all the designer papers with coordinating cardstock. Crystal Stickles on her polka dots and yellow bows add a touch of sparkle. Some enamel dots finish off my card.
