Willy's Sandcastle

Hi High Hopes Stamps Fans!
Today I am sharing with you a couple cards I made using the HH stamp Willy's Sandcastle. I made a shaker card for my main card and just a simple design for the smaller card.


This time I am using papers from the Fancy Pant's Summer Sun 6x6 paper collection. I used the Spellbinder Lacey Circle's die and a MFT Circle Stax die to make the "window" of my shaker card. I always save everything and the clear window is made from the backing that some enamel dots came on (acetate). I filled the shaker with some Doodlebug sequins in colours that matched my card. Some ribbon and sequins finished off my card. The smaller card has a fussy cut out Willy, some ribbon and a few sequins.


Copics Used:
Willy: BG11, BG32, BG34
Life jacket & snorkel set: R21, R22, R24, YR02, YR04, YR07

Forget Me Not!

Happy August First!

Where has the summer gone I can't believe it's August already! This month over on the One Crazy Stampers Blog we won't be having a monthly Challenge but instead August will have a theme called "Creative Inspiration", where the Design Team will hopefully inspire you! I chose to use the High Hopes image called Lenny's Love Me Nots. This little dragon is the cutest don't you think?!!
I decided to use papers from the Echo Park Sweet Summertime 6x6 collection. I stamped Lenny onto Copic paper and die cut it using the Memory Box Stitched Scalloped Circles. All the paper and journal card are from the paper collection. I used my computer to makes the little sentiment on the front. Of course I put Clear Wink of Stella on Lenny's wings, spots, flower and the little bird.A few YNS Gumdrops finished off my card.
On the inside I used the High Hopes sentiment called "One of those days".
Copics used:
Dragon: YG11, YG05, YG06, Y11, Y13, Y15
Flower: R21, R22, R24, Y15, G43, G46
Bird: BG01, BG02, BG05, YR04
Ground & toe nails: W0, W1, W3
outline: BG0000, BG000

I hope that you will follow us this month and see all the great inspiration the Design Team comes up with. Hopefully we will inspire you to get creative too!
Happy Stamping!

Style Is Everything!

Hi Ai Fans!
Isn't Lovelle one HOT BABE!! Lovelle on the couch (#2618) is such a cute stamp to use and Art Impressions has so many sentiment sayings that you could put with her! I chose to use "Style is everything" on the front as Lovelle is rockin' those glasses. She just makes me smile every time I see a picture of her!


The design of this card is really simple with paper from Bo Bunny's Zip-A-Dee-Doodle 6x6 collection with some layered cardstock. My card size is 4 x 5.5". I fussy cut Lovelle and paper pieced the couch using foam squares to adhere it to the card base.  I cut an extra cushion and popped it up with foam squares to add a bit more dimension.



On the inside I used another sentiment called "My Advice". Another great humorous sentiment from Art Impressions!


Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E11, R20, RV17
Hair: C1, C3, C5
Shirt: G40, YG11, YG41
Pants: BG72, BG75, BG78

Don't forget to enter into our new Challenge called "Create A Set". 

Happy Stamping!

Hang Ten!

Howdy High Hopes Fans!
My card today shows the super cute image called Gabriel Loves Surfing! Gabriel has to be the cutest little Dude! Can't you just picture him in Hawaii surfing the waves?


I'm using paper from the Fancy Pants Making Waves 6x6 collection. The sentiment is from the HH Sentiment Set#4. I added some twine and a button for my embellishments this time around. And can you believe it no glitter pen..... I know I struggled with that LOL. I just didn't think Gabriel wanted to be sparkly LOL.


On the inside I used some of the scraps from my papers to tie everything together! I left the inside blank so I can personalize it when an occasion pops up.


Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E11, R20
Hair: E13, E15, E17, E19
Shorts: B34, B37, B39, YR23
Surf Board: YR20, YR21, YR23, YR24, R02, R05, R08
Waves: BG0000, BG000, BG01
