Adorable Patty!

Hi High Hopes Fans!
Today is Tuesday so that means it's time to show you something I made using stamps from High Hopes Stamps! I am using the adorable Patty's Posies image.
Patty reminds me so much of my Daughter when she was this age! My Daughter had beautiful blond hair just like Patty and loved to ride her trike outside and in the house as well! I am using paper from the Taylored Expressions Hello Happiness 6x6 collection. I inked all the paper edges with Distress ink in Vintage Photo and added some Doodlebug twine. 
I used the High Hopes sentiment called Springtime Joy Script.

Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E11, R20
Hair: Y11, Y21, E53
Overalls: R81, R83, R85
Shirt: R85, R89
Bike: BG11, BG32, T4, W3, W5, W7
Bag: E11, E13, E17
Cat: T1, R20
Flowers: BG11, Y11/ Y11, R83/ R83, R89/ YG03

Our January Challenge is still going on and the theme this month is "Anything Goes". All you need to do is use a High Hopes Stamp to enter. If you don't have one please feel free to use our Free Digi. Good luck....you never know the next winner could be you!

Happy Stamping!

Thin Enough Yet?

Hi Ai Fans!
Today's card showcases the new "Thin Enough" set from the new Ai People 2015 release. This just cracks me up and actually has a little bit of truth to it LOL!
This image colors up very quickly especially if you keep the towels "white". I decided to use the MFT Distressed Patterns stamps for my background along with a few different ink colors. These stamps gave a water coloured and paint splash look that worked perfectly with my "Thin Enough" image! I hand coloured the dots and dashes around the edge for another fun element.
On the inside I also stamped some of the Distressed Patterns to compliment the card front.
Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E21, E95
Towels: T1
Towel stripe: R21, R22, R24
Scale: Silver Wink of Stella, Glossy accents

Thanks for stopping by today!
Happy Stamping!

Crazy Bird Series #3!

Howdy!
It's time for are #3 in my Crazy Bird Series for the month of January. I am so in love with the Bird Crazy Stamps from Tim Holtz. They are just so cute and crack me up!
I challenged myself with this card to not use any Designer paper! I decided to stamp a main image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Using Memento ink in London Fog, I masked off the main bird and stamped a bunch of birds around him masking more birds as I went. What turned out was my main image in a crowd of matching birds. I colour4ed my Bird with my Copic Sketch markers using some of the fluorescent colors to make him really pop!
I used a quote from Dr. Seuss on the card and inside as well. I found a free font Called Dr. Seuss Grinch so it fit perfectly!
Copics Used:
Orange body: FYR1, YR04, YR07, YR18
Wings: V12, V04, FV2, FYG2
Beak & eyes: FY1

Please remember to make something crafty and enter it into our January Challenge called "Anything Goes".

Happy Crafting!

Buzzin' By!

Good Morning!
Today's card is sharing the super cute High Hopes Stamps image called "Buzzing By Bear". I absolutely love this little guy! The sentiment called "Just Buzzin' Bye" matches this image perfectly!
I made the card base using my Silhouette Cameo and keep the embellishments really simple. I used a bow from the MFT Die-namics Beautiful Bows die and added a rhinestone to it. Then just some Clear Glitter Wink of Stella on the flower, patch and wings.
I left the inside blank so that you can write a little note and send it off. I stamped a butterfly from my stash with matching ink from Hero Arts in Pale Tomato.
Copics Used:
Bear: E40, E42, E43, E44, R20, B0000
Bee Costume: Y13, Y15/ N4, N5, N7, N9
Reds: R21, R22, R24
Stem & leaves: YG61, YG63, YG67

Happy Stamping!

I Love Penguins!

Hi!
I totally forgot to share this with you guys! This is Snowy Dancing In The Snow by Connie Fong. I stumbled upon her somehow through Facebook and joined her group. This was a free digital for a bit and it's my understanding Connie will soon be opening an Etsy shop. I had entered this into her Monthly Challenge for December. You can request to join her group here

I'm using papers from the Echo Park Hello Winter Collection. I also used Liquid Pearls on the snowdrops for a fun element. Lots of layers and dies to this card!
Copics Used:
Penguin: T1, T3, T4, T5, T7, R11, Y35, Y38
Umbrella: E43, E44, E47/ BG11, BG23, BG72, BG75, BG78
Snow and outline: B000

I also am using a new watermark from Miss Daisy Stamps. Kathryne was so sweet in helping me with the watermark.  Miss Daisy Stamps also has a great Facebook group that you can find here!
This is the one I decided on! So cute eh?!!

Chat soon!
