New Challenge!

Hi HH And OCS Fans!

Wow December first already! I'm starting to get in the panic mode that I don't have my Christmas shopping done! Today starts the new Challenges over at High Hopes and One Crazy Stamper and the theme is "Christmas/ Winter". I decided to make a simple yet pretty card using the "Simple Winter Tree". I wanted to make a card with very little Copic colouring for a nice change.

To start I stamped my trees on Copic friendly paper and then stamped them again on patterned paper. The paper is from Penny Black and is called Frosty & Festive. I used my Brother Cut N Scan to cut plain trees out. Then I fussy cut the trees from the patterned paper and glued them to the plain trees.Then I mounted them with some foam tape onto the card front. Easy peasy right?!

I used the High Hopes sentiment called "Candy Cane and Mistletoe".

Summer Sweetness!

Hi OCS Followers!

Happy Wednesday or Hump Day should I say! Today's card features the adorable little girl and her watermelon called "Summer Sweetness" from High Hopes Stamps! That's one mighty big piece of watermelon for this sweet little girl LOL!

I am using papers from the American Crafts Sunny 6x6 collection! The watermelon paper just fit perfectly! I put a frame around the girl using the Pretty Pink Posh Scallop Square die cut from coordinating paper. I also cut and layered a small tag from the set that had the matching watermelon theme. Some ribbon, a bow and YNS gumdrops finishes off my card.

I made a second card and fussy cut around the image layering her on  a Memory Box Stitched Scallop die.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20

Hair: E43, E44, E47, E49

Dress: R24, R27, R29, C1

Watermelon: R20, R22, R24 / YG11, YG13, YG17

Foil Happy!

Hi OCS Fans!

Today's card is a bit different for me as I usually have a coloured image on my card. I wanted to try something different for a change. I pulled out my Heidi Swapp Mini Minc machine, some light pink foil and away I went!

I decided to cut out these pretty flowers using the MFT Floral Fusions Cover-up die and some Heidi Swapp Toner paper. Once it was cut I ran it through the Minc with some pink foil. Just a simple layered card with a die cut "thanks" and a butterfly.

It's hard to get a good picture with the foil. If you use a flash it just bounces off it. Trust me the foil is super pretty!

This sentiment is from my stash and I just added another cute die cut butterfly.

The Minc machine is fun to use and the possibilities are endless! Lora has lots of fun Minc accessories over at her store! Check the out!!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Disco Divas!

Hi!

It's Wednesday so that means I am over on the OCS Blog for my weekly post! I made this card using the "Shake Your Booty" stamps.

I decided to use the papers from the Doodlebug Under The Sea 6x6 collection! The cute mermaids in this paper pad inspired me to colour the hair on these divas with a totally "non-hair" colour! I always love the bright and fun papers in the Doodlebug collections. I'm using the HH "Don't Stop The Music" sentiment and matching SVG file to layer behind it. Some ribbon and polka dots using the Pico Embellisher finished it all off.

I hand cut around the gals and popped them up on an action wobble for a fun interactive element to my card. It looks like they are "shaking their booty's" LOL.

Watch the video to see them in action!

On the inside I used the High Hopes sentiment called "Get Your Happy On".

Copics used:

Skin: E00, E21, E95, R20, RV09

Hair: R21, R22, R24 / BV04, BV06, BV09

Tops: YG21, YG23, YG25 / BV04, BV06, BV09

Pants: BV04, BV06, BV09 / R20, R21, R22

Pico Embellisher in Tuxedo White to make the polka dots
