Polaroid Buddies!

Hi!
Today I wanted to Share with you a card I made for One Crazy Stamper using the High Hopes Stamp image called "Peeking Spring Buddies"! Easter is just around the corner and this stamp makes the perfect Easter card!
I like love spring papers and the Echo Park "Spring" 6x6 collection is so cute! I love the pastel shades! I decided to use my MFT Die-namics Precious Polaroid die on this card. I also embossed the frames with my Polka dot embossing folder. A bit of lace and enamel dots and it's complete!
I like to sometimes try to use my stamps in different ways. The original "Peeking Spring Buddies" has the 3 characters in a row. I inked up each character separately and stamped them on a scrap piece of paper. Then if there was any ink spots I used my liquid paper to "erase" them.  I photocopied the images onto Copic paper, coloured them and cut them out. Now I can add them to the frames. Sometimes when you "think outside the box" it opens up more uses for your stamps!
I popped the bunny paper and each polaroid image up with foam squares for added dimension!
On the inside I used the High Hopes "Easter Greetings" sentiment.
Copics Used:
Bunny: T0, T1, T3, R11, BG11, BG32, R83, R85, YG23, YG25, Y17, white gel pen(polka dots)
Chick: Y11, Y13, Y15, Y17, Y38, BG11, R11
Duck: Y000, Y00, Y02, YR02, YR04, R11

Just For You!

Hi!
For today's blog post I wanted to share with you the super adorable stamp from High Hopes Stamps called "Froggy Gift". Can't you just picture this sweet boy coming up to you and saying "here this is just for you"! LOL! I didn't have any boys but I think this is something that happens a lot with curious little boys!
I found Designer paper to match perfectly from the Echo Park Little Man 6x6 collection. I used my Silhouette and the Print and Cut feature to cut out these adorable little frog embellishments. I also tried to add some texture to his jeans by using a washcloth and some Copic Blender solution. It's hard to see in the pictures though but does give it a more denim look.
I used the High Hopes sentiment called " Have I Toad You" on the inside.
Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E11, R20
Overalls: B32, B34, B37, B39
Top: Y13, R24, R27
Hat: R24, R27, R29/ Y13, Y15, Y17
Frog: R24, YG03, YG25, YG17
Outline: B000
Ground: E31, E33

A Crown?

Hi Ai Fans!
I love this set from Art Impressions called "Crown set"! The saying just cracks me up every time!
For my card this time I hand drew the animal print on her top using a black and grey Copic marker. I'm pleased with how it turned out! I dug out an older Bo Bunny 6x6 pad called "Serenade".  A few enamel dots and a bit of Clear Wink of Stella on her skirt and earrings and I felt my card was finished!
I didn't stamp a sentiment on the inside but will choose something to match whatever occasion I need to use this card for!

Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E11, R20, R29 (lips)
Hair: E43, E44, E47
Top: 100, C4
Fur collar: C00, C1, C2
Skirt, shoes & earrings: R24, R27, R29

Happy Stamping!
