Perfect Blend!

Happy Tuesday!

I love when I can get together with my friends and chat over a good cup of coffee! The "Let's Chat" Gnomes from High Hopes Stamps are adorable and this card will be going out in the mail soon! As the sentiment "Perfect Blend" says..... coffee and friends are the perfect blend!

After stamping my image onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured in parts of the image with my Copic Markers. I decided to use papers from the Sunny Studios "All Is Bright" 6x6 pad. I had some fun on this card and paper pieced the Gnomes outfits from the matching paper. I haven't paper pieced in awhile and forgot how fun it is and adds a different element to your card. Using a stitched oval die I cut out the image and added it to my card base. A few diamond gems finish everything off.

Coffee!

Howdy!

The Design Team over at High Hopes Stamps is having a blast this month creating with the new "Gnome Mania Release"! I'm using the adorable "Coffee Bean" Gnone. on my card today. I love the "Nothing Begins" sentiment too! In my house it's so true.... nothing begins before that first cup or two of coffee!

I made a fairly simple card design today. To be honest I have limited supplies where I am right now and of course you never bring the right stuff with you LOL. To start, I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured it in using my Copic Sketch markers. I am using papers today from the Pink & Main "Best Friends" 6x6 collection. Once I had my image ready, I used a Gina Marie Doubled Roped Rectangle die to cut out my cutie. I stamped the sentiment onto a little tag die and added it to my card with some twine.

Udderly Fabulous!

Hello!

I'm popping in today to share my card featuring the High Hopes image called "Decorating With Charlie" from the "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas" re-release. Love these two friends helping each other out to decorate the tree. 

I started my card by stamping the image onto Copic friendly paper. Next using my Copic Sketch markers, I coloured in the image. I decided to cut the image out with a Gina Marie "Pleated Lace Rectangle" die and layered it over paper from Echo Park's "A Perfect Christmas" collection. My card today is 6.5"x5". The sentiment from High Hopes called "Udderly Fabulous" goes so well with this image. I ended cutting it in half to place it on the top and bottom of my design. A few Christmas coloured gems finish off my card today.

Cow: N6, N7, N8/ W3, W5, W7/ R01, R02

Penguin Crush!

Happy Tuesday!

Tuesday's mean I get to colour a High Hopes image and post about it! It makes Tuesday's my favourite day of the week LOL. Meet the adorable "Penguin Crush" red rubber-stamp. I like to imagine that this will be their first kiss. Looks to me that these two are heading from crush status to love!! 

I thought that the papers in the Echo Park "Celebrate Winter" 6x6 collection were a perfect choice for this pair. I stamped, coloured and cut out the image with my Brother Cut N Scan. I popped the HH sentiment "Candy Cane Wishes" and the image up on the card with foam squares. Foam squares help to give your card dimension.

Penguins: N0, N1, N6, N7, N8, R01, YR04, YR09

Merry Christmas!

Howdy!

I don't know about you, but I never really thought of Cows being a Christmas "thing". But after seeing this cutie called "Charlie's Christmas" from High Hopes,  I wonder why we didn't think of this years ago!! He's just so cute and perfect for so many people, especially farmers! Charlie is perfect to colour to make a card using non-traditional Christmas colours!

I stamped Charlie onto some Copic friendly paper and then using mu Copic Sketch markers, coloured him in. Using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut Charlie out and added him to my card with foam squares. I decided to use papers from the Photoplay "Kringle & Co." 6x6 collection. The HH sentiment called "Your Herd" matches perfectly for Charlie! A bit of ribbon, and Crystal Stickles on Charlie's hat finish off my card.

Copics Used:

N6, N7, N8

W3, W5, W7

C00, C0, Copic 0

R01, R02, R35, R37, R39

Winter Friends!

Hi Friends!

October brings another re-release over at High Hopes Rubber Stamps called "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas" ". It's so fun to play with all these images again! This cutie patootie is called "Winter Friends ". I think snowmen are one of my favourite things to colour. They remind me of my Mom, who has a huge Snowman collection she gets out every Christmas!

I decided to go with non-traditional winter/Christmas colours for this card. The papers from the Doodlebug "Winter Wonderland" fit the bill. I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper, coloured it in with my Copic markers and then cut it out using an oval die. I love the round sentiment called "Peace, Love, Joy" and I coloured the hearts to match. A bit of "Spoonful of Snow" from Stampendous adds the snow to ground my image. 

Copics Used:

Snowman: C00, C0, C1, C2, C4, C5/ R01, YR04, YR09

Outfit: RV06, RV09, RV55/ V15, V17, V09/ C7, C8, C9

Bird: R27, R29/ B21, B23, B24, B28

Bells: Y26, Y28

Merry Christmas!

Hello!

Anytime is a good time to make Christmas cards, especially when I send so many out to friends and family. With the "Christmas Cheer" re-release over at High Hopes, I just couldn't resist this cutie called "Christmas Boy"! He's adorable, easy to colour and makes the sweetest Christmas card! I love his little toes sticking out! I paired him with the HH "Fun Merry Christmas" sentiment.

This card was fun and quick to make. I stamped my image and coloured it with my Copic Markers. Using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut around the image leaving a small white border. My papers today are from the Polkadoodles "Ho Ho Ho Christmas" 6x6 collection. A simple layout but still perfect for this cutie. I added some Crystal Stickles to his hat and used a bit of Nuvo Drops in Gloss White to mimic the dots on the present paper.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E13, R20, E27 (hair)

Reds: R35, R46, R59

Blues: B91, B93, B95

Winter Wonderland!

Hi!

It's Tuesday again and it's my turn to post over on the High Hopes Blog! As I sit here writing this post, I realize that this stamp called "Winter Ride" reminds me of a good friend! I should have coloured the horse brown and then it would have been perfect for her! 

After stamping my image onto Copic friendly paper, I coloured the image in to match papers from the Simple Stories "Jingle All the Way" collection. Then using a Gina Marie Double Roped Circle die, I cut out the image with my Big Shot. I added some Stampendous Spoonful of Snow below the image to make it look like they are out on a winter ride! I decided to use the HH sentiment called "Winter Wonderland" on my card today. The image is popped up with foam squares for added dimension. Some ribbon, a bow, poinsettia button and snowflake die finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Skin: E00, E11, E21, R20

Hair & Saddle: E23, E25, E27

Horse: T3, T4, T6, T8, T9, R01, R02
