Christmas Challenge!

Hello!

It's another new Challenge over on the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog and the theme this week is Christmas. I am having so much fun Guest Designing for the month of October with the Crafty Chicks! I decided to use "Gnome and Snowman Friend" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I adore this image as it has my 2 favourite things on it....Gnomes and a snowman!

Today I chose papers from the Simple Stories "Jingle All The Way" 6x8 collection. I love the nice traditional colours and patterns in this collection. To start, I stamped and coloured my image with my Copic Markers. Next using a stitched rectangle die, I cut out the image. I added a rectangle piece and a few circle die cuts to make up my design. I backed everything with matching cardstock and added my image to the card base using foam squares, for added dimension. Some Crystal Stickles on Santa Gnome's hat and Mr Snowman's scarf finish off my card.

This is my decorated inside of the card. I used a wooden block stamp for the sentiment and I'm not sure who makes it.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E21, E11

Beard: W1, W3, W5

Gnome outfit: R37, R59, R89/ G24, G94, G99/ E44, E47, E49

Bubble Bath!

Howdy!

I love Halloween and all the cute images that goes along with it. Today's card features the adorable digital stamp from Kinda Cute by Patricia Alveraz and is called "Witch and Frog". I just love that this little Witch is giving her frog a bubble bath in her cauldron! This sweetie is certainly a "good witch" not a "bad witch" LOL!

I decided to use fun papers from the Doodlebug "Candy Carnival" 6x6 collection. After downloading, sizing and printing my image, I coloured it with my Copic Sketch Markers. I used a MFT Zig Zag Oval die to cut out the image and popped it up onto my card design with foam squares for added dimension. I also inked the edges of all my papers and embellishments with Black Soot Distress Ink. Some adorable ghost die cuts from Your Next Stamp and enamel dots finish off my card.

Good Friends!

 Hi!

I'm popping in today to share the "Beary Good Friends" image from High Hopes Stamps! Aren't these two just the most adorable friends?!

I started my card by stamping the image with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then coloured it in with my Copic Sketch Markers. I added the High Hopes sentiment called "Good Friends" underneath my image and then cut the image out using a Stitched Scallop Nesting Tag die from Kat's Scrappiness. I decided to use papers from the Echo Park "My Favourite Winter" 6x6 collection. I popped up the circle and my image with foam squares for added dimension. I also added a bit of bling with some Crystal Stickles on the hats. I love the little pom poms on the ends of their hats.... just too cute!

Bear: E43, E44, E47, E49, R01, R02

Happy Fall!

Exciting day!

I am so excited to be Guest Designing over at  Krafty Chicks for the month of October. This is a Challenge Blog and the theme for this week is "Stamp Act" (use any of your stamps/ digi's). Since we've just moved into the Fall Season, I thought "Angel Bear Scarecrow" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps would be perfect for this Challenge!

I stamped my image onto some Copic friendly paper and coloured it in using my Copic Markers. Next using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut out the image leaving a small white border around it. I love these fun, bright papers from the Sunny Studios "Colourful Autumn" 6x6 collection. Lots of layers on this design! I also inked all the paper edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink for a bit of added dimension. Some twine, a bow and enamel dots finish off my card.

Happy Birthday!

Hello!

I am obsessed with Gnomes and this cutie is flying by with a Birthday Wish! Meet the adorable "Balloon Gnome" from High Hopes Stamps! This cutie is one of four new Gnomes that are in the New Summer 2020 Release.

I love this cloud paper from the Honey Bee "Spring Lullaby" 6x6 collection. It made my background quick and easy. I didn't have to ink blend clouds...yippeee! The idea for the design was to try to make it look like "Balloon Gnome" was floating up from the bottom and off the page. Not sure if I nailed it or not, but he's adorable either way! The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "Dot Simple Happy Birthday". I cut it in 2 for a different take on the sentiment. A bit of glitter pen to the balloons added a fun element.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E21, E95

Beard: C1, C3, C5

Outfit: B41, B45, B39

Balloon: V09, RV66, RV69

Happy Fall!

Hi!

Today's card features the adorable digital image called "Rabbit Among Pumpkins" by Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez. I just love this little cutie popping up behind the pumpkins!

I think Fall Papers are my favourite! I love the rich warm colours and these papers from my "scrap pile" are the perfect Fall shades! I downloaded, sized and printed my image onto Copic friendly paper and then coloured the image using my Copic markers, to match the papers. I inked all the edges of my papers and image using some Distress Ink in Vintage Photo and a foam tool. I always love a bit of glitter so I added some glitter pen to the leaves. A bit of burlap ribbon and a pumpkin embellished finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Pumpkins: YR04, YR07, YR09, YR18/ YG95, YG97, YG99

Rabbit: E31, E33, E35, R01, R22

Leaf spray: YG17, YG23, G28, Y38

Ground: W00, W1, W3

Brewin' Up Some Treats!

Happy Tuesday!

Oh  my gosh..... how cute is this image!!! Meet "Witchy Poo Stirrin Brew" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. Isn't she adorable sitting there stirring her brew!

I decided to make a shaped card today using a pumpkin svg file and my Silhouette Cameo electric die cutting machine! I inked all the edges of the card base pieces with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. To add a bit more dimension, I cut the inner 2 pumpkin pieces, stem and leaf a second time and glued them together. This way when I glued them to the base they stood up a bit higher. I love the sentiment from High Hopes called "Brewin' Treats", it goes perfectly with Witchy Poo!  A bit of twine, bow and MFT Tiny Bats finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E21, E11, R20

Hair and Pumpkins: YR04, YR07, YR09

Outfit: BV08,V15, V17/ Y35, Y38/ YG23, YG25

Greetings!

I'm  loving all the digital stamps over at Kinda Cute By Patricia Alveraz! This is my first "Fall" themed card for 2020 and I knew that "Girl With Wheelbarrow" was an adorable stamp to kick it off with!

After downloading, sizing and printing the image, I coloured it in my favourite medium....Copic Markers. I decided to use papers from the Echo Park "My Favourite Fall" 6x6 collection and coloured this cutie to match! I cut out the image using my Brother Cut N scan and popped her up with foam squares for added dimension. I love this die from Studio Katia called "Half Stripped Cover". The size of the die is 4.25 x5.5" so it fits and A2 card perfectly. After gluing it to my card base, I used 2 different papers to fill in the strip "holes". Some white gel pen, burlap bow and a button finish off my design.

Copics Used:

Skin: E02, E11, E21, R20

Hair: E35, E37, e39

Sending You Sunshine!

Hello!

I just wanted to share with you this beautiful "post card" that was included with my Honey Bee order the other week! On the front was a nice thank you from Honey Bee and the back of the card had this image on it, uncoloured. What a great idea to have this on the back of the information/thank you postcard so that nothing has to go to waste!

All I had to do was colour the image with my Copic Sketch Markers. The sentiment was already on it and I just backed the card with a bit of matching cardstock. I added some Nuvo Drops in English Mustard to the little stamens and a few pink gems to finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Flowers: RV55, RV66, RV69/ Y35, Y38

Leaves: G28, YG17, YG25, YG23

Bee: Y19, C7, BG000, glitter pen on wings

Strip: Y35, Y38

Outline: W00, W1, W3

Thanks to Honey Bee for this little gift on my order!!

Happy Stamping!

Hello!

I'm popping in today with a Christmas card using the adorable "Gavin The Givin' Dragon" from High Hopes Stamps! I decided to use Gavin for a Christmas card but he's be perfect for a Birthday card too!

After I stamped "Gavin" onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured him in using my Copic Sketch Markers. Next I cut him out using a Memory Box Stitched Scallop Circle die. I decided to use papers from the Echo  Park "A Cozy Christmas" 6x6 collection. I added a Snowflake Border in the green cardstock for a subtle look and added sequins with a red gem centers. It's hard to see in the picture but there is glitter pen on the bows. The sentiment is also from High Hopes and is called "Scripty Merry Christmas". A bit of twine and a die cut snowflake finish off my card. 

Copics Used:

Dragon: G46, 29, 24, 21/ W3, W6
