Bugs and Kisses!

Happy Tuesday!

Oh my gosh, I just love this "Buggy Stack" from High Hopes Stamps! Look at those cute little faces!!!I had so much fun colouring these adorable "buggies"! The HH sentiment "Bugs and Kisses" goes perfectly with this sweet card!

I stamped my image with Copic friendly ink on some Copic friendly paper and then coloured in the bugs. I tried to colour the butterfly to resemble a Monarch. Using my Brother Cut N Scan, I cut out the image and a matching outline in red. I decided to keep my card design simple and just ran a piece of white cardstock through my machine using a Darice Large Petal embossing folder. For a twist, I cut the "Bugs and Kisses" sentiment into 3 pieces and adhered using foam tape. I love how the image pops off the white background!

Hugs To Cheer You!

Hello!

Sometimes you just need a card to cheer a friend up and to let them know you are there! "Andy & Alex Mouse" from High Hopes Stamps along with the sentiment "Hugs To Cheer You" makes the sweetest card to give to someone dear to you! You could also use this image for a Valentine's or Anniversary card!

Sometime ago I went through my 6x6 paper pads. I kept the pads I liked and ripped out paper from some pads that I only liked a few of the papers from. Anything left I donated to our neighbour's daughter who is a teacher. Her class loved them and used them in their art classes. This paper is from the ripped out papers so I have no idea who made it. All I know is that it was perfect for Andy & Alex! I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and using my Copic markers coloured it in to match my papers. Next I cut around the image with a Stitched Scallop Circle from Memory Box. Some twine and enamel dots finish off my card.

Copics Used:

Mice: N0, N1, N2, N3, R01, R02, R20

Andy: R35, R46, R59/ YR21, YR23, YR24

Alex: R81, R83, R85, R89/ R35, R46, R59

Grass: YG91, YG93

Let's Waterski!

Hello!

The vault is open over at High Hopes and the Men & Boy's have come out to play! Meet "Waterskiing Bob"! Bob must be on vacation somewhere as it certainly isn't warm enough here yet for water sports LOL. I always love how happy Bob is, he always has a smile on his face!

I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and then used my Copic markers to colour my image to match my papers. Today's papers are from the Doodlebug's "Anchors Away" and Echo Park's "Summer Party" 6x6 collections. After colouring Bob, I cut him out using a stitched square die and them popped that up on my card with foam squares. I used the HH sentiment called "World's Best Father". Some clear glitter pen on the waves and a few enamel dots finish off my card. Waterskiing Bob makes a great Father's Day or even a great birthday card for Dad!

Copics Used:

Skin: E01, E11, E13, R20, R22

Hair: E23, E25, E27, E29

World's Best!

Hi!

I'm so excited that Lora opened the Retirement Vault and let the "Men & Boys" out to play again! This image is called "Lawnmower Bob". Bob looks so happy cutting the grass! This image makes a great Father's Day card.

I started by stamping my image and then colouring Bob in with my Copic Markers. Next using my Brother Cut N Scan I "fussy" cut him out. I decided to make a scene for Bob & his lawnmower. I took my card base and using a cloud stencil created the sky. Next I used 2 different dies and cut out some green grass. The first 2 glass layers (bottom up) are popped up using foam squares as is Bob. I tucked my coloured image amongst the grass layers. The HH sentiment called "World's Best Father" finishes off my card.

Copics Used:

Skin: E01. E11, E13, R20, R22

Outfit: R35, R37, R46, R59/ B24, B28, B39/ E43, E44, E47, E49

Bunny Stack!

 Hello!

Today I'm sharing with you my last Easter card of 2021! Easter is this Sunday and I'm looking forward to sharing it with my family. We are a small family so we can visit under the "Covid rules" in our area of the world. Meet the adorable "Easter Bunny Stack" from High Hopes Stamps. Nothing cuter than a stack of bunnies don't you agree?!!

I stamped my image onto some Copic Friendly paper and coloured it in with my Copic markers. Next I cut out the image using a Stitched Flag Banner. My paper today is from the Doodlebug "Hoppy easter" 6x6 collection. Some glitter pen on the bows and Easter eggs and a variety of enamel dots finish off my card.

I always love to pop up my image using foam squares or tape for a more dimensional look.

Get Well!

It's Tuesday!

Tuesday is my favourite day of the week because it's means it's my turn to post a card for High Hopes Stamps! I decided to add another "Get Well" card to my stash. "Dr Allun" and the "Speedy Recovery Background" made the perfect combination to try to cheer someone up!

I started my card design by stamping the background and colouring it in with my Copic markers. Then using a hexagon die, I cut through the card layers to make a "window" for Dr Allun to peek through. I made a red border for the window using two hexagon dies. Next I stamped, coloured and using my Brother Cut N Scan cut out Dr Allun. 

Here's the cute Dr. Allun on the inside of the card backed by some MFT Buffalo Brights paper.

Copics Used:

E00, E11, E21, E23, E25, E29, E93, E95, E97, E99

Easter Sampler!

Hi!

Popping in today to share another Easter card with you! This stamp is called "Easter Sampler" from High Hopes  Stamps. I just love this sampler of cuties and loved taking the time to colour it! High Hopes just has the most adorable rubber stamps!

I started by stamping my image with Tuxedo Black ink onto Copic friendly paper and then coloured it in using my Copic Sketch Markers. The "Blessed Easter Script" fit perfectly into the middle of the Easter Sampler. My choice of paper is from the Echo Park "Happy Easter" 6x6 collection and is as adorable as the stamp. I added some glitter pen to all the flowers for a sparkly effect. A nice big double ribbon bow finishes off my card.

Easter Slimline!

Happy Tuesday!

Easter is around the corner which always means to me that Spring is near! It seems like it's been a long winter, especially with all the Covid Lockdowns. I absolutely love this cute bunny called "Flop Eared  Rabbit" from High Hopes Stamps! I decided he would look perfect on a slimline card!

 I thought it was fun to put Flop Eared Rabbit in different positions on my card as he looks like a bit of a mischievous character to me LOL. It's like he just keeps popping in to say hello! I stamped my images onto Copic Friendly paper and using my Copic Markers coloured him in. I used my Brother Cut N Scan to fussy cut him and then placed him in the circles that I had die cut out. I cut the sentiment from High Hopes called "Egg-star Special" in half to add it to my card for a bit of a twist on the original stamp.

Copics Used:

R00, R01, R02

C0, C1, C2, C3, C7

The sun's out, the snow is melting the days are getting longer and it's March! I'm feeling happy knowing that Spring is just around the corner!! Meet "Raindrops Willa" from High Hopes Rubber stamps! Willa is just so adorable and I love her blue eyes! She makes me long for the daisies in my backyard.

I stamped Willa on to some Copic friendly paper and went ahead and coloured her in with my Copic Sketch markers. Next using a "Fancy Stitched Label" die, I cut her out. Willa is popped up with some foam squares for added dimension. My papers today are from the Bo Bunny "Pincushion" 6x6 collection. I love the "Sending Smiles" sentiment from High Hopes. It's one of my go to sentiments. Some matching enamel dots finish off my card. Oops I just noticed I forgot to colour in the black dots on the ladybug LOL. I'll do that now!

Rainbow In Your Heart!

Hi!

I needed to add to my "stash" of Sympathy Cards. Although I like making any kind of card, I hate having to give a sympathy card away because it means someone has lost a special person. I know that the "Pansy Window Box Frame" from High Hopes Stamps will brighten up the recipients day and let them know that I am thinking of them!

I stamped my image onto Copic friendly paper and coloured it in using my Copic Sketch markers. Next I cut the image out using my Brother Cut N scan and hand cut out the inside of the window. I added the rainbow paper into the window and popped my image up with foam squares for added dimension. Some lace, ribbon and gems finish off my card today.

I used more of the rainbow paper from the Honey Bee "Spring Lullaby" 6x6 collection on the inside and added the HH sentiment called "Rainbow In Your Heart".

Copics Used:

B60, B63, B66

RV63, RV66, RV69

YG00, YG01, YG03, YG17

Y31, Y35, Y38
